Dangers of tho Grip.
The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of Its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable caie Is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia which shows conclusively
that this remedy Is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. It will cure
la grippe ln less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists. Mat
