DR.. Penrose's SuQ-
QeSti0nS for q Cold.

As our train pulled out from the
station I was deeply impressed with
DR.. penrosc's remarks on the similar
ity between The care which the enSj-
ncer should bestow upon his engine
and that which we should give the
body.
1t 50 happened that I was suffering
from a severe cold ut the time, when
[ remarked that | had an engagement
to speak at 4 certain entertainment.
three nights from that time, and | was
fearful that my hoarseness might in
terfere with my speaking on that occa-
sion.
The time seemed opportme and tho
Doctor being in 4 communicative
mood, / said: "Doctor. what shall
do for this cold which l have. am on
the program to speak at Webster Hail
next Wednesday evening, but if this
cold continues l shall be obliged 20
give it up What do you advise for Il
cold?"
'Stop eating." said the Doctor.
''But [ have been eating very heart
lily lately on the advice Of a friend who
said 'starve a fever and stuff Il cold -
replied.
"Ies,' said he, "that is All old saw.
1t started in about the time when w"
bled patient for an aiIment Of amy
kind The stuffing of cold is on L
par with bleeding.'
"Thc facts are that if the engineer
wants to make some repairs on this
engine he stops putting in fuel and lets
his engine cool Off. While the caring
for the body, in the ease OF Il cold, is
not exactly like repairing an engine.
it has Il certain similarity.
You must stop putting fuel into
the body. You must let it cool Off.
Stop eating. but drink. Drink freely
Of warm drinks. When YOU get hun

bed. eat nothing but fix up Il hot Lem

fresh air. Fill the lungs to their III

the lungs. Fill them again. Repeat
this five times. Now 60 to breakfast.
Remember you are not to eat, but
drink. Satisfy your hunger with
drink
'Iou will notice That your voice Is
becoming clear. Your cold is passing.
When. on the second day. The cold is
pretty much thrown of. You may eau
