GERM STORMS AND EPIDEMTCS

quently recurring visitations Of

The people of city or a State
or Of any vast area. previously
well, suddenly have so-called
"colds." The eyes Of many OF
them get red, they have q burn
ing sensation in the nose,
mouth or throat; cough, have
a little fever and feel weak. This
is the beginning. The disease
may stop at this stage or 60
to more serious illness.
s What causes 1t?
Science has found the germ and
has defined the conditions under
which it abounds-cold and hui.
mid atmosphere.
Science has captured the germ
in the rooms Of patients, and in
the open air.
Science has captured not one of
these germs, but the fine pollen
OF ragweed at height of several
thousand feet.
If ragweed pollen can be car.
ried by the winds, why not the
germs Of influenza?
And do the germs Of influenza
multiply In the air?
1t Is certain that a cold and
humid air furnishes the condi.
tons for their multiplication and
their rapid multiplication in the
air would explain how they may
cause an epidemic; but science
has not yet made the demonstra,
ton.
Yet science has given us valu.
able facts for our protection
against this germ.
II the germ thrives in cold and
moisture, the safest place against
1t IL a warm and dry room.
In the time Of epidemics, stay
fin the house as much as possible.
and as soon as you begin to have
a cold" be sure to do 20 until
you are over It.

physical vigor may save you a
