Why Colds Are DANGEROUS.

Because YOU have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any kind
do not for a moment imagine that
colds are not dangerous. Everyone
knows that pneumonia and chron-
ic catarrh have their origin in a
common cold Consumption is not
caused by cold but the cold pre-
paros the system for the reception
and development of the germs that
would not otherwise have found
lodgment. II Is the same with all
infectious diseases. Dphtheria,
scarlet fever measles and whoop-
ing cough are much more likely TO
be- contracted when ;he child has
a cold. You win see from this that
more real danger turks in cold
than i'm any other of the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest
