BUT SEE YOUR DOCTOR FIRST! You never know what it may develop into, for one thing, and you owe it to your family, friends and community to protect them from infection. When you, your children, or any member of your family has a cold, it pays to go to bed im mediately, and call your doctor. He may discover the cold is very unimportant in consideration of the thing which caused the physical “let-down” which in turn made progress easy for the cold germs. On the other hand, he may decide that with a little medi cine and rest it will be all gone by tomorrow. In either case, you’ve done the wise and safe thing. And, if he prescribes anything-—whether compounded or patent medicine—continue to do the wise and safe thing. Come to Houston Drug Co. Phone 52 : : : Perry, Ga. What Is A Bank?
