Cure of Colds

Cure OF Colds
The papers are all devoting their an

vention and cure. l say annual. for a

old pet idea has to be ventilated upon
long-sufering public, who if they

And yet, though the cold is not regard

Of" it is serious matter, and too
often the beginning of fatal diseases
like consumption; pneumon a, etc, for
in the majority of cases. deaths from
those diseases are directly traceable to
severe cold taken at some time
previously. The remedies advocated

add epson salts and the hundred

it is wonder considering all the trash
which people take into their systems
during the ''siege of cold ; that they
survive at all, let alone curing the
difficulty. Now let us look at the mat

respiratory organs and at times to the
mucous lining of the bowels. followed
by pain and diarrhea. The causes are
various and sometimes unaccountable.
Disarrangement of the digestive funct-

denly chilled. wetting the feet. ETC.. are
among them. and before one is aware
of it, cold chills are running down his
back. or his limbs feel heavy as lead,
he dislikes to move about. and then
his nose begins its cheerful ditty, and
fortunate he is whose throat and lungs
do not suffer also. The remedy sug-
gested here has been in use by physi-
clans in the homeopathic school for
years with the greatest success. The
other school also is now using it. but

months. The praises of aconite in ho-

too highly, as any one will testify who
has given it faithful trial. TO the
traveller exposed to all weathers it is
valuable, as it can be taken
anywhere without trouble or attract
ing notice. The writer has often upon
waking up in the night with sore
throat and chllls, had immediate access
to his aeon tie bottle and found prompt
relief and the next day would be en-
