You are often told TO ''beware OF a
cold" but whyS We will tell YOU:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves The way for the
more serious diseases. People Who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer o cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the germ
diseases, IS . cold prepares the system
for the reception and development of
the germs of consumption, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid OF your cold,
the less tbs danger Of contracting one
of these diseases. Chamberlain
