II EGRETFULLY as must say Il.
we are all liable TO be afflicted
with what is usually known as a
cold, technically as a coryza,
during any month. But certain it is that
Of all the times in the year when we
suffer in this disagreeable way there Is
no time when the agony seems quite so
unbearabIe as midsummer. Perhaps this
IS because we are continually catching
fresh cold OF because the pollen OF the
flowers. which then literally fills the
air, is particularly annoying. Whatever
the cause may be. 1t is certain that any
suggestion for the prevention or cur
ing OF cold is sure TO be received with
thanks. and. therefore, am going 10
make a few practical suggestions that
may prove helpful
In the first place, we must admit that
the cold is caused by either germs or
pollen drawn by the breath into the
nOstr1ls and there lodged in the mucous
membrane, which becomes irrltated and
causes all the uncomfortable sensa-
tions with which we are so familiar.
Knowing this much. then. it would seem
strange If we could not take steps 70 pre-
vent the irritating substances from lodg-
ing in the nostrils and throat. particu-
lsrly when some methods TO achieve this
end are so simple.
