A cold is due to an inflammation of the reembrane lining the air passages, and may be promptly cured with a little Ely's Cream Balm which im- mediately relieves the inflammation and all the distressing symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, running at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore throat, fever and headache.
