EDY FOR CONSUMPTION


am continually solicited for rem

tuberculosis in modern days, but

cold water, and boil until soft, but
not too soft. Roll or squeeze until

Consumption is an insldlous as
of the lungs. We hear nowadays
that there is consumption of the

between cancer and tuberculosls Oh

MANY chances for development of

Too many little boys, are driving

one may be, there is danger of being

is a serious thing to ride in an auto
and watch for accidents.
The pleasure of -ioy-riding has in
