There is no drug, no serum, no vaccine, no form of treatment that will cure a cold . People treat themselves with all kinds of alleged remedies, but these do not cure the cold. Almost everybody one meets has one or more cold cures, but none of them are genuine. Not so many months ago a prominent physician said that if one who has a cold is treated, he gets well in two weeks, and if he is not treated, he gets well in fourteen days. The important fact about these recoveries is that these sufferers get well, but they are not cured for no cure is known.
Recovery is said to be spontaneous.
It is the result of lawful and orderly processes that take place in the body of the sick person. This simply means that they are brought to an end in a more or less definite time by the organism itself and not by treatment. They are all spontaneous recoveries. These spontaneous recoveries are the things on which all the alleged cures ride to glory . There is no effort made to cure the disease, as it is well understood that healing is a biological process and that no man can either duplicate or imitate the process.
