SINCE the dawn of civilization, pneumonia has scourged
the human race. Hippocrates, father of. modern medi
cine, described this disease in 400 B.C, and yet after 23
centuries, we know little more about it than he did. The
cure for pneumonia is as yet undiscovered. But we do know
that colds lower the vitality aud hence pave the way for
pneumonia. Many fatal attacks, however, might be averted
if more of us would follow this maxim —
Never let a cold get a start

‘Pneumonia u now more
deadly than Tuberculosis
Government records show that
deaths from pneumonia reach
their peak during January, Feb
ruary or March. Formerly, tub
erculosis, tk: “Captain of a!! the
Men of Death," as it was called
by John Bunyan, was the most
fatal scourge ofmankind. Since
1916, however, pneumonia has
gained the grim title, averag
ing yearly 52 more deaths per
100,000 population.
