1hs BEST CURE For A COLD

This Is the time Of year when nine
tenths Of the population are, unfortunate
ly, looking for just this thing. So few
hints on the use OF q few simple home
remedies cannot be out OF place. and II
the directions are followed will sure
ly bring relief 10 all sufferers from this
distressing malady.
To treat cold properly, one must
first look for its cause aud understand
its symptoms. There are many varieties
Of colds as affecting different organs Of
the body, but IL Is intended In this ar
ticle 20 consider the cure OF only one
kind-tbe common cold or chill, affecting
principally the head and breathing APP
parstus. and accompanied by character
istic symptoms.
Slight or partial attacks OF colds may
be treated successfully by immediate re-
course TO fresh, pure air, gently walking
the best part Of day, taking q warm
bath at night, soaking the legs In hot
mustard and water to remove the head
congestion, and drinking warm, thin
cruel before sleeping TO induce natural
perspiration- The windows should be
partially open IL the weather Is dry.
To relieve the "stuffs" sensation about
the nose there IL nothing better than the
application Of the tsllow candle OF our
grsndmothers. As, however, modern
tallow candles frequently contain arsen-
ic, plain, ursslted lard, or almost any
kind Of thick grease may be substituted.
For the tickling sensation 10 the throst
there is no remedy superior TO linseed
A.. 10 trfp at m
fresh seed, then slightly sweetened, and
acidulsted with lemon juice, and the
usual liquorice left out.
The tightness Of the chest Is best re-
lieved by warm bath at bedtime, fol-
lowed BY rubbing into the chest spoon
full OF hot olive oil or lsnolin, either will
efiec, the purpose, though the smell OF
the latter is against its widespread use.
When warm bath IL given great care
should be taken 10 avoid draught, and
the immersion must be all over, except
the head, and not one part at time.
Besides these general rules il viii BE-
we'll il persons very liable to take cold
will take care that no egress be given 10
the malady. Thus, II cold usually
commences In the teeth, these should be
attended 10, and decsyed or unhealthy
stumps removed.
II the eyes are first attacked they must
not be unduly tried, exposed to dust,
strong artificial light, or bad air. II the
symptoms commonly commence in the
throat. then daily gsrgle with cold
water should be had, the throat sluiced
every morning with cold water, and
neither unduly exposed nor muifled up
with hsndkerchiefs, mntflers, boas, or
high fur collars.
Should the chest or bronchial tubes be
chiefly affected, the same precautions as
10 clothing must be observed. porous
and not too heavy flannel or other vests
should be worn, and misnamed chest
protectors" thrown aside. With these
precautions colds will rarely come and
quickly 90, and the seasons Of autumn.
winter, and spring bring each its due
enjoyment, and cease to be the invslid's
dresry months Of dismal apprehension.
