Because you have contracted ordi-
nary 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 chronic catarrh
have their origin in common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development Of
the germs that would not otherwise
