A succession of colds or a protracted eold is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the attention it deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable disease. How can you cure a cold ? Why not try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy ? It is highly recoin mended.
