One Of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
. serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
Of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use OF proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity Of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This Is settled fact Of
human experience.
Especially is this true during the
stormy and unsettled weather Of early
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps II will be wet feet, or cold
draught or damp clothes, or may be too
close confinement In hot rooms and then
going out into the cold carelessly, or II
