Bownre of Frequent Colds.
A succession of colds or a pro
tracted cold is almost certain to end
in chronic catarrh, from which few
persons wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention It deserves and you
may avoid this disagreeable disease.
How can you cure a cold? Why not
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy?
It Is highly recommended. Mrs. M.
White of Butler, Tenn.,.say: "Sev
eral years ago I was bothered with
my throat and lungs. Someone told
me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
I began using it and it relieved me at
once. Now my throat and lungs are
sound and well." For sale by F. G.
