Why Colds are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and payes the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on. the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases. as cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop
mcnt Of the germs of consumption,
scarlet fever. and whoop-
inc cough. The quicker you get rid
of your cold, the less the danger OF
contracting one of these diseases
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as a cure for colds
and can be depended upon. II is
