In paper read by DR.. ID b. St John
Roo.a Of New York city, at the reoen, meet
ing Of the MEDICAL Society Of the State Of
New York. he stated that the mos; frequent
passages, Of the eonjunotiya, and Of the mid
die ear, is in a neglected "cold in the head"
l; i. generally conceded that no person in
perfect health, except under extraordinary
circumstances, takes cold, and We, the ma
jority Of mankind have, a, some time, suf-
fered from cold in the head. The popular
idea that cold in the head is an insignif-
can; affair is founded Oh the fact tina, most
Of the people recover 10 such an extent that
they are able to go abou, sfterward and en-
gage in their ordinary vacations without
special notice, at the time, Of the conse-
quenres Of the disease, which may even
then be settled upon them. He believed
tina, very many Of the maladies which pre-
vented men and women from reaching the
allotted period Of ,hreeseore and ten have
their origin in these colds; and tina, many
serious affections which &C, as an impedi-
ment to the success Of their victim are dated
from q cold in the head. He described
the suffering incident TO an acute attack Of
cold in the head; and Of the impossibility of
having repeated attacks without producing
serious local ehanges-not only local change
ht,s . Of
To correct all this. special attention must be
paid to individual hygiene, and if the evil
consequences Of neglected cold in the head
were TO be abolished, the abolition must
come through public sentiment properly
educated upon this as upon other sanitary
questions. The family physician mus, warn
the people everywhere, as opportunity Ohers
of the danger in this direction, and of the
means by which it is to be avoided. The
first great precaution to be taken by each
individual is to keep himself in good gen.
eral condition. and to do that he must studi-
ously avoid al that tends to disorder the
skin and the functions of all the organs of
the body. Children must be clothed in fan
mel ali the year round, and must be made to
know that the staples of diet are milk,
bread, meat, Vegetables and fruit, and that
tea. coffee and pastry Of all kinds are to be
used only as the greatest of Injuries. and
therefore in small quantities and at long in
,ervals. The community can only become
healthy, Is individuals become healthy. and
al the reforms necessary to make Memphis
and Garen.da places in which yellow fever
never comes may be adopted; but II the
control cannot be obtained Of the bodies
Of and the modes Of living ofthe individuals
in those and Ill other places, evils mot 20
suddenly fatal. but none the less IN the
end daneerous, and Ill the time injurious to

soda at the rate of 100 pounds TO the acre
