First, you think it is a little i cold; nothing but a little hacking cough; then a little loss in weifeht: then a harder cough; then tne fever and the night sweats. The suddenness comes when you have a hemorrhage. Better stop the disease while it is yet creeping. You can do it with IAyer's I Cherry 3 Pectoral] You first notice that you cough less.
