The way to check a cold is to fight

maladies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough. Colds may
lead to asthma, bronchial troubles
and pulmonary affections In the
treatment of these one of the first
needs is to build up body resistance.

sisted in such upbuilding. AS a treat
ment for the troubles named, 1t has
been used for more than twenty
years. And in many instances 1t has
effected lasting relief.
