dusty, unventilated rooms perhaps
play the greatest role in producing
colds.
Since colds are a serious condition
they should be treated as such. A
great many people think that they
have an infallible remedy for break
ing up a cold. This may be harmless
in itself but usually it is not and con-
sists of a combination of harmful
drugs and alcohol, the latter usually
preponderating. The sufferer takes
these preparations in large quantities
and if he is strong enough he may
survive them and eventually get the
best of his cold. Self medication or
medication by unframed persons is al
ways dangerous. 1t is especially dam
gerous to those having colds and
should always be scrupulously avoid
ed. As a rule, much time, inconven-
fence and suffering will be obviated
by consulting an intelligent physician
promptly. If this is not practicable
. brisk saline may be taken and the
patient put to bed. This gives his
body an opportunity to regain it's vi
tality and at the same time i~solates
him from other people. The sick
room should be we'll ventilated and
the windows so opened as to keep the
air moving freely. 1t is also wise to
moisten the air a little bit by putting
a pan of water on the radiator or owe
the register or on the stove. The
handkerchief and bedding used by
the patient should be sterilized by
boiling. Kissing, and the use O.
