COLDS AND PNEUMONIA.
This chanseabIe Weather Responsible
For Many Cases.

TOT MauJ Odsc9s
The changeable weather of the past
few weeks is responsible for many
colds and cases of pneumonia. Physi-
clans are fearful that the grip epidemic
Of last winter viii visit the country
again and they advise all 10 be ex-
tremely careful. Especially does this
advice apply TO parents who should see
to it that their little ones are not al
lowed to run down. Only persons with
weakened vitality or bodies filled with
impurities are taken down by pneu-
monia and grip.
OF course, if you have a cold, and
weaken the system by the use Of poi
sons contained in the balsans of this,
syrups of that, and other so-called
cough cures. you have robbed your
body of lighting power and the pneu-
monia and grip germ gets a hold.
That is one reason why so many
people have their health permanently
injured by the grip-because the
symptoms of the cold were stopped
while the deadly drugs paralyzed the
nerves and weakened the body. The
impurities remain and poison the sys-
tenn and there is not vitality enough
left to get over II.
This is important for you 10 know,
and the knowledge viii be of benefit to
you, aside from any advertising value
this article has for Father Johns Medi-
cine, which contains no opium, NOR
phine or other poisonous drugs.
Father Johns Medicine. as we have
said before. builds you up at the same
time it cures the cold and grip. You
should begin taking it right along and
give il to the children. 1t gives them
strength 10 fight Off and escape con-
tagious disease.
