cradle amount OF chatter about taking
cold in connection with some Of these
infections, and now is a good time to
look into the chatter bit.
A man sustains cut or other slight

or maybe he puts on some old salve

chilly, then decides he Is getting

well, some old fogy happens along
and says. why, you've taken cold in
it, And sure enough the poor fell
low has been chilly all morning. The
truth Is that the wound has been in
