 If You Have
 Pneumonia

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 16.- If you believe you're on the verge of pneumonia, cough all you like it may help ward off the disease but don't cry about it or hic- cough, for that might give the germs the chance they're waiting for.
 This conclusion was reported tc the Michigan Academy of Science by Dr. w. J. Nungester and Dr. A. H. Kampf, University of Mich igan scientists, in discussing re- cent research.
 Moderate coughing or expiratory puffs might help ward off pneu- monia, their experiments showed but forceful intake of breath, as in sobbing and hiccoughs, tends to draw whatever pneumonia organ isms might be in the windpipe down into the lungs. Exhaling with force, as in cough, has ten dency to expel the disease organ iSmS.
