Grip.

Grip usually starts just the same
as a cold with watery discharge
from the nose. You are much more
likely to contract the grip when you
have cold. For that reason when
grip is prevalent you should go tt
bed as soon as you feel that you are
taking cold and stay in bed until
fully recovered which should not be
long if you take Chamberlain's

now is better than three weeks later
