The greatest danger from colds and ^
grip Is their resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and

danger will be avoided. Among the tens |

of a single case which has resulted in ;
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventative of that
dangerous disease. It will cure a cold
or an attack of the grip in less lime than
any other treatment. It is pleasant and
safe to take. Sold by Odendahi Bros.
