a habit, but fortunately n that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out Of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature Of about 90 F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham

of it as quickly as possible. Obtain
