are affected. The first symptoms can be

can be SO quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is Dr.. Boschee,s

consumptio
GIT is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won quit,

cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
