keeping, except when they are of val

CoLDS-CAUsEs AND CURE.
Among the many methods of ''cold-.
catching" the most frequent are these:
l. Sitting in current, as already hint
ed at and Illustrated.
3. Sleeping or sitting with cold feet.
1t is exceedingly important that the ex-
tremities are kept warm.
3. Standing in an opon door or hall.
way, in cold day or night, talking with
some friend who is just leaving. Any OBJ.
serving physician would tell you that
thousands of ladies, and not few gen.
tlemen, catch cold in this way every
year. Don't talk in the open doorway
in cold weather.
A. Running or walking fast in cold
day with the mouth open. In such cases
the cold air is rapidly inhaled, ard the
lungs become become chilled, and the
whole system soon suffers. In all cases,
especially in cold weather, and while hur-.
rying along the street, inspire through the
nostrils, so that the cold air may become
warm before it comes in contact with the
delicate structure of the lungs.
Speaking or reading exhaustively in
hot room, and then passing suddenly
out into colder temperature. Public
speakers often suffer in this way.
Nothing is easier than to cure COM
mon cold, provided measures are taken
in time. Perhaps not always; but GER
tainly in most cases. But while it is easy
to cure cold in its first stages, it is one
of the most difficult things physician is
called upon to do, to cure a cold of long
standing. Few things harm the whole
system more than continued colds.
I will give you general rule. The
first hour or two after catching cold, it;
may be cured by anything which
thoroughly restores the warmth and or
binary circulation of the system. Let
this be Immediately attended to and the
best results will follow.
Thoroughly warm such parts of the
body as may have been first chilled, or
affected by the cold. An old physician
said to me when / was attending his lee
lures during my student life. 1--WE must
drive out cold by the same door through
which it entered" I have found this to
be excellent advice. If the cold has
come from wet or cold feet, battle them
thoroughly in hot water with mustard
If the neck or spinal column has been
the door Of ingress for the cold, stand or
sit with the back against or near the hot
stove pipe, or toward the fire, until the
part is thoroughly warmed, and the cir
culation in those parts is restored to its
healtbful condition.
Imbibing warm drinks at the same
time will be of use. A thorough bathing
and rubbing of the skin will also be OF
great service. These rules thoroughly
followed will generally avail. If any
medicine be required, l know of nothing
better than the Cold Powder recommend
ed Grst by DIR. Beard. The formula or
prescription for it | will now write for
you as follows:
Camphor, two parts.
Powdered Opium, one part.
Carbonate of Ammonia, one part.
| Dissolve the camphor in ether to the
| thickness of cream, then add the opium
| an ammonia. Get the druggist to pre-
pare it Keep it in bottle tightly cork
ed. Take before retiring to bed !; dose,
three to six grains in little water. The
druggist who puts il up will advise you
how measure grains. Keep on hand at
all times, and take as soon as may be
after becoming thoroughly chilled.
The effects of this powder is seen in
the opening of the pores of the skin, and
| in producing sleep. While. however, L
| recommend this powder, l advise always
| that the warming process be resorted to,
and in most cases this should Suffice
Avoid taking medicine when you can
