Catching Cold.

Some people are always catching cold, even by
taking the greatest precautions Perhaps, no
ever, The very means adopted are In mea sure
productive CT disorder, as In some unguarded
moment the bodily frame may be exposed to un-
wonted temperature. OF the absurdity o. being
insu1iiciently clad in retiring from heated
room, enough and to spare has been said but
the insane practice still continues Ignorance
can not be accepted as plea in that matter
but the London Lance; calls attention to cause
OF cold doubtless quite new to a host OF
people. Dllating upon the subject, the writer
observes that 1t is questionable whether atten-
ton has been sufficiently directed to the
part the wind plays in producing altera
lions OF blood pressure in localities OF the sur
face. In rude health this may be an unim Dor
tant consideration, but In the case of persons OF
low vitality this "bracing" may not occur. or
almost instantly SubSide, and congestion OF deep
organs may then be mechanically produced by
long exposure to the force OF Strong wind. Ia
the old coaching days facial paralysis was a
WellTecOglzed result OF sitting with the face 10
the wind at an open window. In the more rap
idly moving railway carriage of today the anglt,
OF incidence and reflection thnews the current
Of air on the passenger sitting one sea-
removed from the window, or the currenf
OF air strikes the back OF the carriage, and
is passed round behind the necks of
The passengers, as any one may demonstrate
with lighted match. In all these Instances it
is the force as much as the temperature of the
jet OF air which produces the results sometimes
experienced from 'sitting In a draught." The
question arises whether this little fact, taken in
connection With others, may not hereafter be
found to throw some new light on the nature
OF ''cod" and its morbid phenomena. Perhaps.
after all, 'cOld catching" Is, IN part at least
process In which the blood Is forclbly driven out
OF particular area OF the surface while the
vitality of its nerves is diminished by mech ani-
cal depression. A very small jet of air PLAYING
continually on limited space viii give some
