EASIER TO PREVENT

Most physicians are agreed that
the best way to combat most ills is
by the indirect method of stimulating
the body's natural powers In fighting
and destroying the germs OF disease.
Consumption, for example, is much
easier to prevent than it is to cure.
and throughout the land a determin-
ed warfare is being waged to lessen
the danger of infection by this in
sidious disease. Coughs and colds
are a prolific source and should not
be neglected.
At the first sign of cold, steps
should be taken to check IL at once
and this can best be done with
simple mixture OF two ounces Of
gIycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin Oil
Of Pine compound pure and eight
ounces of pure whisky. These can
be mixed together in a large bottle.
Shake well and take a teaspoonful
every four hours. It is claimed by
the Leach Chemical company OF Gin
cinnat. who prepare the Virgin Oil
of Pine compound pure for dispens-
ing through druggists. that this mix
ture will break up a cold in "a hours
and cure any cough that is durable.
