The symptoms are : Common cold of a catarrhal nature ; short , painful , -dry cough , with rapid and wheezy breathing. Unless arrested , inflammation rapidly spreads through the bronchial tubes to the air cells of the lungs. Dur ing the progress of the disease great attention must be paid to the nourishment of the pa tient. SLOCUM'S Of Norwegian Cod Liver Oil , with GUAIAGOL is the best remedy that can be given. It maintains the strength of the patient and ex pels the morbid secretion from the bronchial tubes.
