Cold in the Head.

Most people look upon cold as a
small matter. ~Oh," they say, lit is
nothing but cold" And yet cold
may prove speedily fatal, or be source
of lifelong harm. The danger is more
apparent when we remember that q Wig
orous person but seldom takes cold, but
mainly those persons in whom the pow
or of vital resistance is already weak
ened.
A cold may run rapidly into pneu-
monia. It may give rise to rheumatism,
and thence to disease of the heart. It
may throw itself with dangerous symp-
toms on the bowels. It may bring on
kidney complaint. It may inhame
and close up the gall-ducts, and thus
cause Understandable agony from the dis
tention of the infamed bladder by the
accumulated bile. Finally, it may re-
suit in cold in the head. -
The original attack-it is slight and
brief fever-is general. The point of
special harm is from the consequences
which remain when the fever is over.
Of all colds it is generally thought
that one in the head is of the least sig
nificance, beyond being annoying. But,
at a late meeting of the New York Med
ical Society, q paper was read ky DR..
Roosa, in which he declared it to be the
most frequent cause of certain chronic
diseases indeed of very many of
the maladies which terminate life before
the age of 70. :.
He added, ~The first great precau-
ton to be taken by each individual is
to keep himself in good general condi-
ton, and, to do that, he must studious-
" avoid all that sends to disorder the
skin and the functions of all the organs
Of the body. ..# !, g..
