Many physicians believe that any
one who has a bad cold should be com
pletely isolated to prevent other mem
bers of the family and associates from
contracting the disease, as colds are
about as catching as measles. One
thing sure the sooner one rids him
self of a cold the less the danger, and
you will look a good while before ydu
find a better medicine than Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to aid you in cur
ing a cold.
