The Grip begins with influenza, pain
in the head, back and chest, soreness
all over, Colds began the same way
before Grip was ever heard of. Grip
runs into Pneumonia-Colds have been
followed by Inflammation of the Lungs
ever since the world began. Fever and
Sore Throat are equal symptoms of
both--so Is a Cough-so is Bronchitis.
Either may result in Catarrh The
