Better Health
: BY DIR. Logan CIendening

WITH the season running into
w the time of year when
colds are very prevalent, we
would all like TO do something
sensible 10 keep ourselves as
healthy as possible.
One thing that we should real
iZe concerning the mechanism
OF colds is that every one car
ries some germs in the nose.
These do no harm most Of the
time and in most people they do
no harm any of the time TO the
individual who carries them be-
cause he has formed an immu-
nifty TO them.
When we get a cold, however,
the resistance of the mucous
membrane of the nose is lowered
and these germs get foothold
which they do not ordinarily
have in health.
Besides that, a person carry
ing a certain set OF germs
around may be immune to them
himself, but when he coughs OF
sneeZes he scatters them in the
air where they can be picked up
by others who have not acquired
immunity to them; in that way
they do harm.
lust how frequently are germs
- found in a normal persons
nose?
How many are found. and
what kinds?
These questions were put to
an experimental answer by two
Chicago physicians who took
500 consecutive patients who
had been admitted to medical
service for reasons other than
nose and throat diseases.
In other words. none Of these
people had a cold either in the
nose, throat or chest.
They varied in age from 4
weeks TO 78 years and were,
therefore, a fairly representa-
tive cross-section OF the entire
population.
All 500 OF these patients had
two kinds OF germs without ex-
ception: the staphylococcus al
bus and the diphtheroid bacillus.
The staphylococcus albus is
the germ which causes the for
nation Of pus and this probably
operates in the later stages of a
cold when there is pussy Sc
cretion from the nose.
The diphtheroid bacillus is

something like the diphtheria
bacillus in form.
TT IS often said that pneumo-
i MIA is carried in the nose and
throat, but the germs OF pneu-
monia were found in very few
of these patients-only about z
per cent and in these there was
some history of sinus disease
of the nose and the nose was
not perfectly normal.
ii also was found that small
percentage had X-ray evidences
of some sinus disease.
This latter group amounted to
about per cent.
In them a larger variety OF
organisms was found, including
true diphtheria bacillus, strepto-
coccus and pneumonia germs.
The study would seem to indi-
cate that people with sinus dis
ease naturally catch cold more
easily because they have more
germs which are likely TO bring
on trouble than a normal indi-
vidual.

what has been a general belief;
that those who have colds should
have the social responsibility of
coughing and sneezing in a
handkerchief and that every
one should avoid close contact
with a person who has a cold,
out of the way of the spray
