Consumption is, by no means, the dreadful disease it is thought to be in the beginning. It can always be stopped in the beginning. The trouble is: you don't know you've got it; you don't believe it; you won't believe it till you are forced to. Then it is dangerous. Don't be afraid; but attend to it quick you can do it yourself and at home. Take SCOTT'S EMULSION of Cod Liver Oil and live care fully every way.
