| =How to Cure Consumption= |
| |
| =DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on patent medicines or advertised |
| cures for consumption, but go to a doctor or a |
| dispensary. If you go in time YOU CAN BE CURED; if you |
| wait until you are so sick that you cannot work any |
| longer, or until you are very weak, it may be too late; |
| at any rate it will in the end mean more time out of work |
| and more wages lost than if you had taken care of |
| yourself at the start.= |
| |
| =DON'T DRINK WHISKY, beer, or other intoxicating drinks; |
| they will do you no good, but will make it harder for you |
| to get well.= |
| |
| =DON'T SLEEP IN THE SAME BED with any one else, and, if |
| possible, not in the same room.= |
| |
| =GOOD FOOD, FRESH AIR, AND REST are the best cures. Keep in |
| the sunshine as much as possible, and KEEP YOUR WINDOWS |
| OPEN, winter and summer, night and day. Fresh air, night |
| and day, is good for you.= |
