How To AyoID TAXING CODA cold is
simply developer of deceased condition,
which may have been latent or requiring on
" some favoring condition to burst out into
the flame of disease. That this is usually
the correct view Of cold as n disease proluc-
ing agent under all ordinary circumstances
may be made plain by reflection upon per-
sonal experience even to the most ordinary
understanding. When the human body is
at its prime with youth, yigor, purity,
and good constitution on its side-no degree
of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to any
unpleasant effects. All the ordinary precau-
tions against colds, coughs and rheumatic
pains may be disregarded and no i'll effects
ensue' But let the bood become impure, let
the body become deranged from any acquired
disorder, or let the vigor begin to wane, and
the infirmities of age be felt by occasional
arrangements in some vital part, either from
inherited or acquired abuses, and the actor
of cold will excite more or less disorder o.
some kind, and the form of this disorder, oil
the disease which will ensue, will be determ
mined by the kind of pre-existing blood i'm

poems, LES Odes,' on the results of which
he anticipated great things. lie felt certain
that the merits of these magnificent produc-
tions would soon render him famous but
this opinion was not shared by the publish
ers, who, one and all, refused to bring out
the volume at their own risk. Utterly dis
couraged, Victor Hugo threw the manuscript
into his waste-paper drawer, where it was
discovered by his brother Abel, who
took it to a small publisher named Delaunay,
and paid for its printing with his own say
ings, and without saying a word about his
generosity Once printed, it was not easy
to persuade the book sellers to let the cheap
" got-up volumes even rest upon their
stands, and with difficulty Abel succeeded in
inducing the uncle Of one of his schoolmates
to offer the book for sale. The first copy
bought was purchased by NJ. Mennechet,
reader to Louis XVIII, and thus it was that
