You can't do it. They are about us on every hand and we are con? stnntly taking them into our lungs. Then why don't we all have this disease ? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foot hold in a strong throat and lungs. It'? when these aro weak that thc germs master. The body must be well supplied with fat. The danger conies when the blood ls poor and thc body ls thin. If your cough docs not yield, and your throat and lungs feel raw and sore, you should not delay another day?
