not live another month, I'erunn
saved inc. Travelling from town

and having to bo Into all kinds
of badly heated stores and build

trade as auctioneer. It Is only
natural that I had colds fre

occur I paid little attention to It,
until last December whoa I con
tracted a sovero case, which,
through neglect on my part
settled on my lungs. AVhrn al
most too late, I began doctoring,
but, without nvall, until I hentd
