PNEUMONIA CAN BR PREVENTED.
This disease always results
from a cold or an attack of the
grip and may be prevented by the
timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. That remedy was
exensively used during the
epidemics of La Grippe of the
past few years, and not a single
case has ever been reported that
did not recover or that resulted in
pneumonia, which shows it tobe
a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. Chamberlain's.
Cough Remedy has gained a world
wide reputation for its cures of
colds and grip. For sale by A.
E. Howell, Socorro; W. W.
Borrowdale, Magdalena.
