many eases could easily be done. If some

all could hear the dry, loud cough, and
know its significance; see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold develops, see the prOfuse watery
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would ev-

cold were. The scholar should then be
