hectic flush OF doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on

1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our Indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear

may hug dclusion as to our own health
that we only get rid OF when life itself
must pay the forfeit
Nobody can afford to think lightly
Of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan

them. or "let them wear out" or "gei
better in the spring" or any other tom

ruin. Lung troubles don't move back

by themselves-you must heal then,
and strengthen them. and rid them OF
the very earliest germs of disease. or

suicide. Either you must cure your
