Colds and Smallpox.
To be struck down by disease seems
most undesirable thing. yet there are
many living today in the fullest en-
joyment of very excellent health who

centricity Of typhoid is that If you
pass through an attack safely it gives

The reason is that if rheumatism is
in the system it keeps other ills out
1t makes a grand fighting force and
keeps most other enemies Of the hu

the germ type.
Very naturally If you have such
grand friend at hand you have to pay
something for aid rendered, but the
pain of rheumatism, If shockingly Sc

is why one gets so little sympathy

you any day during a spell of evil, cold
weather You might have exposed
yourself so much that a severe chill
would have seized you, followed by
Inflammation of the lungs.
Accordingly slight cold may easily
save you from many worse Ills.
In this way minor Affections act as
warnings that worse things are COM

persons quite neglect these warnings.
