My reasons for saying are that patients are

term little cold, which they are credulous
enough to believe will wear OIL in u few days.
They pay no attention to IT, and hence it Lays
until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for
cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock OF Schenck's
pnimonic syrup, schenck's seaweed Tonic and
recommend these particular medicines because

winter, with temperature of about seventy de-
