Colds and Smallpox.
To be struck down by disease seems
most undesirable thing yet there are
many living today in the fullest en-
but for an attack Of some disease
would have lived life of almost per
petual misery.
These people were. first of all. vic
Tins Of indigestion IN It's worst form.
nnd only those who. have experienced

Struck down by typhoid fever. they
rame through the trying ordeal cured
Of Indigestion. for one outstanding &C.
ccntricity Of typhoid Is that II you
pass through an attack safely II gives
| you new stomach. IN fact. after an
attack Of typhoid the victim Is usually
left with n stomach like an infant.
That is the grand chance offered to
one who has suffered. 1t may he. for
long years from acute indigestion II
only he takes care. after an attack ~

tion again.
BE II remembered that any one trou-
bled with severe Indigestion is not ad-
vlscd TO 20 hunting around for typhoid

things which none of us want. yet
even a chronic cold has It's good points.

People who are up in years and who

that gives the heart jerk and sends
the blood coursing nicely through the

without rheumatism Consider the
hosts Of old folks you encounter hob
bling about. grumbling all the day
about their bones and joints. In all
probability these old people would
have been IN their graves years be
fore but for this very rheumatism.
The reason is that II rheumatism is
In the system II keeps other Ills out
II makes grand fighting force and
keeps most other enemies OF the hu.
man frame at bay. especially those of
/ the germ type.
Very naturally If you have such Il
grand friend at hand you have to pay
something for aid rendered. hut the
pain Of rheumatism. II shocklnsly Sc
we're Mt times. is not deadly. and that
is why one gets so little sympathy
when suffering from rheumatism
But the plain fact Is that slight
malady always benefits you, even II
indirectly As an example OF that.
say a very bad spell OF weather comes
along cold and wet. and YOU contract
4 slight chill.
What do you propose To do: Why.
To take the greatest care of yourself
and make as certain as possible that
your cold gets no chance of develop
ing into anything worse. Now. did
that very slight cold not make its ap-
pearance and cause you TO be cx-
tremely careful OF what you did there
is no saying what might happen 10
you any day during n spell of evil. cold
weather You might have exposed
yourself so much that 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
ing along. but unfortunately many
persons quite neglect these warnings
A man. for example has Indigestion
more or less constantly, yet pays little
heed. always expecting that II will dis
appear one day Now. II he had just
paid attention TO the matter NJ the be-
ginning needed the warning. In short
he might not have been let In for a
severe liver attack later on.
Every pain. every ache, every head
ache all these are warnings that
something else is OH the way and Will
