The Cause Of Colds and 4 Safe Cure

A common cause of many colds is
the sudden checking Of the unconscious
perspiration by exposure to change Of
temperature. Colds, whether taking the
form of Coryza with sneezing, running
nose, and perhaps sore throat, or with
chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
hages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
1t is well to get early to bed, to get
the body well warmed, and most i'm.
portant to have the bowels move freely.
There is no safer or better remedy to
