t,ow An Onion Cures a Cold.

Are you having this cold? 1t il
haven't it you are not in style or have
Ieaten an onion. BY the way. do you
remember the onion syrup mother
used to make for us when we bad bad
colds or were croupy? 1t used TO get
our colds toe, as the divining-rod 10
Gated" water-none knew how. but it
| Just did And Gram" said there was
nothing equal to a raw onion at bed
time to sleep off a cold"
1t is safe to suspect that most of US
have had our little experiences with
| onioning a cold, but it is just as safe
to assume that few of us ever knew
why the commonly known as vege-
table but now scientifically etassed rs
spice the onion, possessed this BEN
eficent power Now a kindly disposed
scientific man OF medicine in a burst
of confidence, explains somewhat as
follows:
The oil contained in the onion. chlNes
radish and horse radish is an oil that
belongs in the category of spices. and
this oil has a deadly effect upon GER
tain pathogenic. that is 10 say, harm
full bacteria fiourishing in various or
CANS of the human body. The intesti-
nal flora against which DR. ,Metchnikoff
wages mis- incessant campaign are the
best known of the pathogenic bacteria
and are among the most dangerous.
Rut the microbe which causes colds is
quite annoying. According to DIR. Halg'
the great uric acid specialist, ali colds
are due ato a combination of three
things-a chill, microbe or a uric ACID
tendency which prepares cell for the
microbes growth. In addition to being
a source of great discomfort a cold is
dangerous as well, because the person
suffering with it is always IN
Jeopardy of pneumonia. The pneu-
monia germ, the diplococcus pneu-
moniae, is present in moderate
numbers in the mouth of perfectly
healthy persons, but the mucous men,
brane forms a sort of protective wall
against it to bar it from entering the
system. During a cold the extremely
delicate membrane lining of toe nose,
mouth and throat is intensely irritated
and it's protective efficiency is greatly
weakened. affording the pneumonia
germ better foothold than when the
is in normal condition.
among the germs to which the oil OF
the onion is a deadly foe is the cold
microbe, and by attacking it one of the
causes producing colds is obviated.
Thus the cold microbe, one of the nee
esary three factors that caused the
cold, an onion, eaten raw. will drive
out tho cold
Properly speaking. the onion is
vegetable, but because of its strong
favor We have come to regard 1t al
most exclusively as a spice. There are
other spices which have just as good
an effect upon the human system. Ae-
