PNEUMONIA SEASON.
How the Disease Develops and How to
Prevent it.

Neglect of colds is responsible LOT
more deaths than the whole list OF MS
eases. Pneumonia is quickly deVel-
oped at this season of the year and I'M
less you cure the cold right you are IN
great danger of being taken down
with the disease. When you take
cough balsams' or 'syruDs" contain
ing deadly drugs that weaken the
body. you are inviting Pneumonia.
You will understand how that is just
think that over SO per cent. of these
mixtures depend for their effect
entirely upon the opium, morphine and
other poisonous drugs they contain-ah
effect which is simply temporary
deadening of the nerves at the expense
Of weakening the body.
The system thus weakened is not
able to drive off the visiting germs o.
pneumOnia-and the cold reaches the
lining Of the lungs, they become in
famed and congested, and you are
down with pneumonia: if your system
has been too much weakened by pois-
onous drugs you may not get up again
because it is a question whether or not
YOU have lighting power enough left In
YOUR body to fight off the disease.
AS has been said in this paper, IA
Their Johns Medicine cures colds and
prevents pneumonia-it drives off the
cold and gives vital force to the sys-
tenn so that pneumonia can be fought
off; it strengthens the body because it
is all pure nourishment, without opium,
morphine, or any of the poisonous
drugs contained in the over ~ per
cent. of cough balsams' and "syrupS
referred to above.
While this is written to call your
attention to Father Johns Medicine
which an eminent specialist prescribed
for the late Rev. Father John OBrien
of Lowell, Mass, so years ago, ana
which is not a patent medicine-What
we have told you about pneumonia IS
authentic and important for you TO
know. 1t may save your life.
