How People Take Cold,

The time for taking cold is after you
exercise; the place is in your own house
or Office 1t is not the act of exercise
which gives the cold, but it is the getting
cool too quick after exercising. For ex-
ample, you walk very fast to get to the
railroad station, or to catch an omnibus,
or to make time for an appointment: your
mind ahead of you, your body makes an
over effort to keep up with it; and when
you get to the desired spot, you raise
your hat and find yourself in perspira-
ton You take seat, and feeling quite
comfortable as to temperature, you begin
to talk TO friend, or to read newspa-
per; and before you are aware of it, you
experience a sensation of chilliness, and
the thing is done. After any kind Of ex-
cercise, do not stop momen! at the street
orner for anybody or any thing, nor at
any door or window When yon have
been exercising in any way whatever,
summer or winter, 90 home at once, or to
some sheltered place; and however warm
the room may seem do not at once pull
of your hat and coat, but wait some ive
minutes or more, and lay aside one at q
time; thus acting, cold is impossible.
When you return from brisk walk, and
enter warm room, raise your hat and
the forehead will be moist; let the hat re-
main few moments and feel the forehead
again and you will find it to be dry, show
ing that the room is actually cooler than
the body, and that with your out Of door
clothing on you have cooled of quite too
soon.
