One often hears the expressoin, "My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly suscep tible to the wandering diphthera germ. If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more ^an ger of his taking diphtheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the dan ger of diphtheria or any other germ disease being contracted. m ..-i .'V-s' ;?T5 H L( is not o ward and vi a duty well a symbol of ment-a si perceptio of busines It means that I put his money investment ii end is proud EDGKEFIE Fruit, Candies, < Are You Happy?
