their votes to clothe with power the

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract

without taking any precaution or
treatment, and a knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their
chances instead of giving their colds
the needed attention. 1t should be
borne in mind that every cold weak

makes the system less able to with
