Better Health
BY DIR. Logan CIendening

HERE we are in the common
cold season again and we
may expect. IL former years are
a criterion. that so million Amer
cans will come down for a few
days with more or less disabil-
ity from this cause.
We hear health propagandists
say:
avoid the common cold 90
you will not lose any days from
the war effort" but they do not
tell, unfortunately, just what
means to take to do this avoid
ing.
The old gag about avoiding
falling hair by stepping nimbly
to one side doesn't apply TO the
common cold.
IL anybody wants to know the
full wisdom that I have acquired
in over half a century of con-
tact with the common cold and
would like 10 ask me how to
prevent il and how TO treat it,
I can reply in three words, 10
wit:
IL don't know"
THE use of cold vaccines may
Il do some good. but I don't
see how we are going to obtain
a vaccine when we don't know
anything about the germ that
causes the cold.
Curiously enough, the use of
vaccines by mouth seems to be
somewhat more successful than
the use Of cold vaccines given
hyp o d rmically; it certainly
makes the process simpler.
There are several cold vac
cines which can be taken by
mouth which can be obtained
from pharmacist.
Reports on a large number
of people using these vsccines
have been made for several win
tiers.
In one winter 500 persons
were selected and cold vaccines
given by mouth: $50 controls
were used who got no cold vac
cine by mouth.
Following them through the
whole winter, il was found that
there was about a as per cent
decrease in the number of colds
in the individuals who took the
vaccine.
A MOTHER study shows that
"A in group of IL persons who
were followed for three years as
to the actual number of colds
they had. there were 81 colds.
In year in which all of them
