The generally accepted theory as to
cause of colds is now repudisted by an
Edinburg scientist, who asserts, that
colds are purely the result of germ
disease and cites the fact that the cold
atmosphere is not responsible for them,
based on Nansen's statements that his
men had no colds at all while they were
In the chill and damp of the far north
but "caught" them as soon as they
came back among people. A cold, he
declares is one of the most contagious
diseases and the epidemic is spread
throughout household and communities
by specific germs.
The caution given to its readers by
the Telegraph Herald, reprinted on the
editorial page of this paper, is timely.
Fake investment concerns are rapidly
multiplying, which ia an indication that
suckers are numerous, and are readily
swallowing the bait that is thrown to
them. We hope that no reader of the
Democrat will be caught by any fake
investment concern. The great major
ity of these investment concerns are
fakes and are originated for the sole
purpose of sharing the unwary. Let
them all alone, have nothing whateve
to do with any of them, and you will be
safe. If you even nibble at their bait
the chances are that you will be the
loser.
