Within the last few years this common type of ailment has been recognized as a major health problem. Short-term respiratory disease alone, including influenza and the common-cold, cost the nation more in lost time than any other group of acute illnesses.

You start getting older, and you develop shortness of breath, and it all seems so natural. That was the theory.

The fact is and people have only recently been catching on that shortness of breath isn't a bit natural'. DURYEA BRANCH 403 Main Street, Duryea 20 WELSH STREET Aides For St. Mark's Picnic The Rev.
