WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strcngth-b building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. 1t is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores
always get the genuine.

PHI ysIcIan Says Ordinary Nuxated Iron
VIII Increase Strength of Delicate
Folk 200 Per Cent. I'm Two
Weeks Time in Many

NEW YORK, N. Yin a recent dis
course DIR. Il. Sauer, Specialist, of this
city said: "If you were to make an ac-
tuaI blood test on all people who are i'll
YOU would probably be greatly aston
ished at the exceedingly large number
who lack iron and who are i'll for no
other reason than the lack of iron. The
moment iron is supplied all their multi
tude of dangerous symptoms disappear.
Without iron the blood at once loses
the power to change food into living
tissue, and therefore nothing you eat
does YOU any good; you don't get the
strength out of 1t. Your food merely
masses through your system like corn
through a mill with the rollers so wide
apart that the mill can't grind. AS a
result of this continuous blood and
nerve starvation, people become gen
orally weakened, nervous and all run
of conditions. One is too thin; another
is burdened with unhealthy fat; some
are SO weak they can hardly walk;
some think they have dyspepsia, kid
ney or liver trouble; some can't sleep
at night: others are sleepy and tired
all day: some fussy and irritable: some
skinny and bloodless, but all lack ply
sical power and endurance. In such
cases il is worse than foolishness to
take stimulating. medicines or narcotic
drugs, which only whip up your fag-
Sing vital powers for the moment, may
be at the expense of your life later on.
No matter what any one tells you. IL
YOU are not strong and we'll you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or
how far you can walk without becom-

CHAPTER IL

CHAPTER 13
Destroying the cornerstones of
health does not strengthen the foun-
dation of life. Defective adults follow
defective children.
When only fourteen out of 500
New York City school children are
found to possess sound teeth, is it not
time, indeed, for the nation to inquire
into the causes of such defects?
The Dental Hygiene Counsil of the
teeth are the foundation of health
building. The siX-year molar is the
cornerstone"
II this statement was not idly made
the school children of New York city
are building as best they can upon
defective cornerstones or without
cornerstones at all.
over 80 per cent. of the examined
children who have reached the age
of thirteen have lost their siX-year
molars. Cornerstones that are lost
are not cornerstoneS at all. Why
should God provide six-year molars at
all if He does not intend His crea-
lures to have them?
A hundred eminent authorities,
whose work will be recorded here,
stand on record with these state
ments: Defective teeth are symptoms
of malnutrition. They indicate that
something is wrong with the food sup
ply. Wheever the individual is nor
mally nourished the teeth are sound"
Notwithstanding the truth of these
implied warnings, no symptom of
the national health is so COM
pletely ignored or grossly neglected
as the symptom revealed by defective
teeth, even in the face of overwhelm-
ing evidence to support the prophecy
that If we do not quickly look to the
underlying causes of these defects
America will soon become a decadent
nation.
1t is no difficult matter for those
who are seriously in earnest to trace
the physical defects of the school child
into adult life.
In June, DR.. S. S. GoIdwater, COM
missioner of health of New York city,
ordered a physical examination of the
employees of the Health Department.
His order was really in the nature of
an invitation, for it exempted all who
did not care to comply with it.
Between June and October 240 men
and 456 women employees of the de-
partment had availed themselves of
the opportunity to find out what. if
anything, was the matter with their
physical health.
These 696 people represented the
average standard of American citizen
ship. Perhaps because of their edu-
cation and environment they repre-
sented standard a little higher than
the average.
The average age of the men exam
age of the women 80 years. From the
department laborer to the highest eX-
ecutive officer, a variety of indoor,
outdoor, and mixed employment, was
represented.
