Sore Throat Causes.

Exposure to cold seemed to be a
less frequent cause Of sore throat than
infection. Damp clothing is not to be
especially feared if it is changed before
a chill takes place. Hot, unventilated
rooms make an ideal breeding ground
for germs. 1t is because cold weather
drives us into our heated, stuffy houses
that the impure, air borne disease
such as bronchitis. influence, pneu-
monia, scarlet fever, chicken poX-are
most prevalent in late winter and early
spring, and drop almost out of sight in
July and August, when fresh air cir
culates through the house night and
day.
1t is evident then that the first step
in avoiding sore throat is to ventilate
thoroughly and to avoid disease germs.
In spit OF all we can do, we are sure
to come in contact with some bacteria.
If the vitality and resistance of the in
dividual are low, these find fertile soil.
Poorly oxygenated blood, fiabby flesh,
and faulty digestion, all increase sus-
ceptbiity to infection. SO build up
resistance by plain, wholesome food
and frequent bathing. The sponCing
of the throat and chest with cool salt
water each morning is often helpful in
giving tone to the skin.
Wherever there are white or yellow
patches in the throat, they should be
carefully watched Sometimes these
appear to he ulcers and are in reality
little plugs Of fibrnous exudatn. in
f1ammatory matter. and bacteria.
which can be pressed out and wipnd
away with swab.
The cause of throat trouble may be
adenoids- indigestion. improper func-
uoning Of the system, lack of oxygen,
or the taking in of germs from the out
side. An ounce Of prevention is worth
many tons of cure.-Fmma Gary Wal
