cAMPHoR no RREAK UP A COLD.

One of the most efficient remedies
for breaking up a cold during it's earli-
est stage is camphor. When the eyes
begin to water and there is the ac-
companying ~tingling of the nose and
feeling of %chilliness, place three drops
of camphor on a lump of loaf sugar
and place the sugar in the mouth.
Repeat this every fifteen minutes till
four or five doses have been taken.
At the same time place the feet where
they will become thoroughly warm
This will usually prove effectual in
breaking up a cold if the cold is taken
at it's very beginning. For a child
but one drop should be placed upon
the sugar, and five or six doses admin
istered.
