TINE season of catching cold is upon us
The cough and the sneeze and tho
nasal twang are to DO heard on every
hand. The origin Of chronic catarrh. the most
common and dreadful of diseases. is cold.
This Is the way tho chronic catarrh gen
orally begins. A person catches cold. which
hangs on longer than usual The cold gen.
orally starts in the head and throat. Then
follows sensitiveness Of tho air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
AT last the person has cold all the while
