A new section is likely to be built TO

The colds are described by doctors to
various reasons, but thie changeabie
weather is mostly responsible. The

large factor in causing the colds. The
disease has not yet reached the influ-

velop into Inflammation Of the lungs
or pneumonia, which is most to be
feared.
