1t has been held that consumption is he
reditary, and the fact that one person of a
family had died with consumption was con-
sidered n sure sign that Others of that fami-
ly could not escape it. This is partly true
and partly untrue. y man with weak
lungs is likely to transmit that weakness
to his children. But there is no reason in
the world why the weakness should be al
lowed to develop. Keep the lungs full of
rich, red, wholesome blood, and the weak
ness will disappear. 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..
