and have nothing to do with drafts
dampness. vet feet or changes in
the weather. according 10 expert
mental evidence gathered by Dr.
Wilson G. Smile Of Harvard uni
versity.
Results Of four experiments with
isolated communities in scattered
parts Of the world were revealed by
Or. Smile 10 the annual meeting
Of state and provincial health Off
cers.
The experiments showed that
these communities entirely we're
free Of colds except when they we're
visited by infected outsiders.
Studied Isolated Spots
A community OF Norwegian miners
in Spitzbergen were the subject OF
one study.
The last boat leaves there in
September and can not return until
May.
Through the sunless winter. the
miners live in hot barracks. They
walk 10 work across a mile Of
glacier in temperatures ranging
down to 60 degrees below zero. and
work all day in a temperature Of
s degrees below freezing
Then they go back to the hot
barracks. They are exposed TO much
dampness and wind.
Yet. said DR.. Smillie. there was
not "A single cold in the entire COM
punlty-until the first boat came
\ hex in May. Then a virulent cpl
demic swept over the island.
Blames Ultra-Small Germ
Similar experiments were made in
Labrador, in one OF the virgin is
lands. and in an isolated Alabama
community.
In each instance the communi-
ties we're free of colds until an in
fccted visitor came.
These facts lead DR.. Smilne to
conclude that common colds are
caused by a fllterable virus which
is passed from person to person.
A hlterable virus is. in effect, an
ultra-small germ, an organism so
small that 10 goes through the finest
scientific filters and can not be seen
with microscopes.
