Dingers of a Cold
Do you know that of all the
minor ailments, colds are by far
the most dangerous? It is not
the colds themselves that you
need fear, but the serious dis-
eases they so often lead to. For
that reason every cold should be
gotten rid of with the least pos-
sible delay. To accomplish this
you will find Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy of great help to you. It
loosens a cold, relieves the lungs,
aids expectoration and enables
the system to throw off the cold.
