man WIN weak
lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children But there is 10 reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak Weak lungs
predispose a child TO consumption. They
provide place for germs TO settle That
Is all that IS necessary. Once let the germs
of disease gain foot hold, and they in
crease with deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
the blood is full of them, and so loses its
healthfulness and its strength giving quail
ties. If the weakness is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
just the same, and the body will begin to
use strength. We speak particularly of
consumption because it is most common
because it causes more than one-sixth of
all deaths in the world
If there Is weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of a house, the owner clears
out the decaying material, supplants it with
new, strong stuff. That's all there is TO do.
That's all that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs. Keep them full of rich. red whole
some blood. and the weakness will disap-
pear. Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
and new material will be added until the
lungs are well and perfectly strong again
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery does This is what

consumption where it is taken according to
