FATAL CASES.
A PUBLIC DANGER AND WHY CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN.

Your attention has not been called TO
this public danger for some time, and we
believe it is our duty to inform the peo-
pie that the majority of fatal pneumonia
cases are caused by the patient taking
for cold some o-called Cough cure"
or "balsam" which depend upon poison-
GUS drugs for their effect.
These drugs deaden The nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing tract,
which is always followed by congestion
and inflammution--that causes pneu-
mona.
Without these injurious drugs, Father
Johns Medicine cures cold, long stand
ing coughs and all throat and lung trou
bles. 1t is not patent medicine or
Cough syrup" but a body builder and
tonic; 1t cures colds by soothing and
healing the throat, and nourlshes the
system at the same time. Its gentle lax
alive effect strengthens the stomach and
corrects the digestion. so that each organ
Of the body is able to properly perform
its work-that Is how the poisonous
waste matter and Impurities are driven
out Of the system. It's food elements
make strength and restore to sound
health those who are weak and run down.
