This has been fully proven in many thousands of oases io which thil remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent yeara, and can bo relied upon with implicit oonfidenoj. Pneumon ia often results from a alight oold when no danger is apprehended until it ia sud denly discovered thst there is fever and difficulty in breathing and paina io the cheat, then it ia snnounoed that the patient has pneumonia.
