DANGERS OF
CHILDHOOD
TIE WORST OF THESE is TEE
NEGLECTED COLD.
Health Commissioner Reynolds
of Chicago Issues a Bulletin
to the Public.
rFrom the Chicago Tribune.J

"Health Commissioner REYNOLDS of Chi
cago, in his latest bulletins of the depart
ment, says that the worst danger to which
the children of Chicago are now exposed is
the neglected cold.
If your baby has cold don't say it will
wear off, and let it go at that. If your
children have the snuffies, or sore throats or
watery eyes, don't hesitate to take them from
school for a day or two so that you may
break up the colds they have.
Every parent can add to the healthy con
ditions Of the city and to his or her own
peace of mind by guarding against any and
every kind of cold.
Generally the child doesn't know it caught
cold. 1t may be impe ssible to prevent it
from exposing its senHitive body to those
dangers which older persons shun. But the
chances of contracting colds can be easily
diminished by little care and foresight
If the children get Ids don't waste any
time.
Don't trife with cold"
This warning, coming from so prominent
an official and one whose position enables
him to know the real danger, should be
needed by ali. The lives of many children
are sacrificed each year by neglecting the
colds which they take, others contract chronic
catarrh from which they never fully recover.
It would be unwise Tor the health com
missioner of city to recommend any remedy
or treatment for disease, but should he do
