Pneumonia
always leaves the lungs
weak. Weak lungs are
breeding grounds for the
germs that cause consump
tion. Chronic bronchitis also
often follows pneumonia.
If you have had pneumonia,
the germs of consumption
are at work. Don't let
them get a foothold. Begin
at once and take
SCOTT'S EMULSION;
it will drive out the germs
by making the lungs stronger
than they are.
