Here's the Cure We Long Have Sought
and Mourned, Etc.
Winter is coming on. With it will
come Thanksgiving Day and Christ
mas, but also the innumerable car
van of coughs, colds and catarrhs.l A
considerable part of the time of large
proportion of the population will be
given up to sneezing, snuffing and the
handling of handkerchfefs. Just in
the nick of time comes the news of
e preventive.
incubation with the appropriate an
titoxin can take from winter some
of its terrors. The old, simple belief
was that colds were caught by sit
ting in draft or wetting ones feet.
Now, we know that the bacilli of
|colds-it is not necessary to give the
terrifying names the men of science
nave given them-lurk in the nasal
passages and around the tonsils. They
lie in wait for the moment when the
power of resistance of the individual
has been weakened by a chill or phys
ical overexertion. Then they spring
to arms and we have caught cold.
Take hair of the dog that bit you.
Simila similibus curantur. At some
of the big London hospitals they are
manufacturing from the dead bacilli
of cold serum which numbs the liv-
ing ones for year. If anyone ad-
dicted to colds-there are persons who
make them specialty-were inocu-
lated now with some of the serum he
would be immune during the coming
winter. He could sit in drafts or
pass from hot to cold rooms with i'm
punity.
Chicago needs this antitoxin. The
community looks to the expert bac-
teriologists of the hospitals or of the
department of health for it. They
ought to set about its manufacture.
If there were supply on hand now,
what a quiet, restful winter we should
have. A cold would cease to be
valid excuse for staying away from
chuch or work. The prima donna
could not plead one as an excuse for
disappointing music lovers.
On the whole we are a law abiding
people and only a few require an i'm
munity bath to escape prison. Nearly
all of us need and would enjoy the

ton with the new tangled antitoxin
