Dangers. * ’ During the season of Christmas shopping great care should be taken jnot to unnecessarily expose yourself to colds that are likely to result in grip and pneumonia, The excitement of the day is quite likely to cause you to overlook the sudden change from jhot to cold, coming from the close and suffocating air of the big stores to the street. Then there is great danger from disease germs where so many people are gathered in close quarters. Doctors declare that this is one ex- D sickness at this season. While this article is written to again call your attention to the value of Father John’s Medicine in curing and pre- venting colds, grip and pneumonia, it will be of value to you and may save your life if it causes you to be careful and avoid the dangers we have point- ed out—they are real dangers, And if we cause you to avoid the -patent medicines, cough syrups and so-called balsame, 99. per cent. of which contain nerve-deadening and poisonous drugs, by again warning you against them, it will be the lanatign for the annual increase of! means of gaving your health.
