SYMPTOMS THAT SHOULD WARN MEN
or COMING SICKNESS.
Significance of ~Sneezing, Yawn-
Ing and Recurring Winter Colds.
The Meaning of Blue Hands-Apo-
pIexy's Warning Signals.
Nature scarce ever strikes without
warning. In so far as disease is con.
cerned it gives clear signs of what is
impending days, weeks, months and
even years before the attack. If people
looked for these signs and took warn
ing from them, they would escape
much serious illness and i've many
years longer than they do. 1t is indeed
remarkable how careless we are in this
respect. A man who will ~anxiously
the sky for signs OF coming rain
lest his top hat may get spoiled will
never dream Of examining his eyes,
nose or finger nails for sigr 8 Of coming
illness.
The sneeze, for instance, is very sig
nifcant. It is always a sign that some
thing Is injuring the air passages any
where from the nose down to the
lungs. Should it be only a case Of snuff
or pepper. of course the sneeze is Of no
consequence. But often it is an indica-
ton of congestion. There is inlamma-
ton somewhere, with too much blood,
and the object of the sneeze Is to give
relief by getting rid of some Of the
fluid. This lex is a warning that
every prudent person should attend to.
It Is at least the f%orerunner Of a cold.
But it may indicate an approaching at
tack Of bronchitis or pneumonia. When
there is much sneezing, accompanied,
by something like a small shower Of
rain, the victim will do well to take a
warm footbath, 60 to bed and adopt
the other usual remedies to cure q cold.
The winter cold itself Ii q grave
warning. When it recurs two or three
times every winter, it is sure to be fol-
lowed in the end by chronic bronchitis.
Once this comes on it is practically In
durable.
Men r started on their lives much
as q shell from a cannon-with a GER
tain fixed quantity Of energy. If dis
ease or accident does not carry them
off. they will die some time Of what
we callfold age--in other words, when.
the energy with which they started is
spent. Some have energy enough to
carry them over the full century; 9TH
ers have only sufficient to keep them
going for ninety, eighty. seventy. sixty
or fewer years. Now. early badness is
a sure sign,ewith some exceptions, that
the energy is likely to fail sooner than
In the average man. But all kinds@ef
badness have not this significance.
Sometimes the loss of hair arises from
scalp disease caused probably by mi
crobes. The warming badness is that
kind which commences about the tenn
pies and on the crown Of the head and
gradually eats it's way*over the scalp
until only a circular fringe of hair is
