"CARLSON M: Danger of Cold* and La Grippe The greatest possible danger from colds and la grippe is their resulting in pheumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoid-, ed. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseas­ es, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in phneumonia, which shows conclucively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous malady. It will cure a cold or an attack of la grippe in less time than any other treat­ ment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For Sale by Julia A. Story, and G. W. Bealey. , JOHN&BCROH.
