TAKE ONE FAT GOOSE . . .
Goose grease used to be found in most medicine
chests. For a long time, it was a common remedy
for chest colds and pneumonia. The high mortality
rate of lung patients proves how ineffective Ail
remedy was. Modem medications—particularly the
antibiotics—have drastically reduced the death toll
of pneumonia victims, shortened hospital stays and
relieved untold pain and suffering. So, don’t medi
cate yourself. Let your physician do the diagnosing
and prescribing. Then come to us for any medica
tions he may recommend.
