A Thxelt Bit of Advice.
In these times of grip and pneu
monia it is of great importance that
we should know where to look for a
safe and sure remedy. A slight cold
may become a serious one, the scarce
ly noticeable pain in the chest is too
often the forerunner of pneumonia.
The first cough may lead to consump
tion (a cough is nlteayt dangerous).
Never neglect a cold or cough for even
one day, but get at once, as a safe
and sure remedy, Kemp's Balsam, the
best cough cure, which is recommend
ed on all sides. It should be kept in
the house regularly to avoid delay
when needed. It is sold at all the
drug stores. ia-t5 at.
