If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy tak en, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain pre ventive, of that, dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists. The Stomach la th Man.

"When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actual ly cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Pemcdy," says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enter prise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest inter val the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or . could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a pucpose, but it did, and it seemed with the' second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottld before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."
