About your
Health
Things You Should Know
llll'WH aimi
by John Joseph Gaines, M D
COLDS.
Colds are not “simple ailments.”
Here are some things to be remem
bered:
(1) AH colds are infectious—
contagious. <
(2) The careless “sneezer” must
he shunned carefully.
(3) Colds are the result of germ
invasion.
(4) They are invariably carried
from person to person.
(5) They are not caused by ex
posure to cold, or by changes in the
weather.
The latter statement may be
doubted; but the fact remains that,
prolonged exposure to cold and
wet, weakens the resistance of the
body, and permits the germs to
multiply rapidly; we may carry
germs for years, that never de
velop sufficiently to make us sick, <
because our resistance is capable
of holding them in check. Then
comes prolonged effort, or ex
posure, and the enemy asserts it
self.

Colds are unlikely, if the body is

preventive, if properly taken.
Ample, comfortable clothing, plenty
