The medicine show, or what was
best known as the "Indian show,"
which held forth in Union last week,

Why Colds are DaEgerous
You are often told to "beware of
a cold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the vitality and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Peo
ple who contract flu and the pneu
monia first take cold. The longer a
cold hangs on the greater the dan
ger, especially from the germ dis
eases, as a cold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs of consumption, diptheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid of your cold
the less the danger of contracting
one of these diseases. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has a great reputa
tion as a cure for colds and can be
depended upon. It is pleasant to
take.
Any skin itching is a temper test
er. The more you scratch, the worse
it itches, Doan's Ointment is for
piles, eczema any skin itching. 60c
