4 Chapter ON Colds
SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS THAT MAY PREVENT
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
The Danger of NegIeCting a Common Cold"
Serious and Often Fatal MaIadieS may
Result from CareleSSneSS.
From The Neros, Har-sonburg, La.

In most instances colds ore the result of
lmprudence or lack of forethought. Even
in eases where "A sudden change in the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re.
sponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving little care. But - mere cold " is
such a common thing and causes so little
inconvenience that Notwithstanding all pre-
vious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance Of
draughts, etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity Of exercising O constant vigilance
10 avoid catching cold. When the tempera-
ture in the house Is higher than that out Of
doors, never go out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And IT
is better to suffer a little discomfort from
wearing heavy underelothing than TO run
the risk of a chill.
