COLDS

The a cold. whichcauses considerable unpleasant-ness and a loss of many workhours each year, is familiar topractically everyone.

Although no one has definite-ly discovered the specific cause .of the cold, it is commonly be-lieved that this communicabledisease is caused by t iny germswhich are so sma.l that they arenot even visible through themicroscope. If there arc no othergernis involved, the cold usuallyruns a short course of two orthree days and causes suchsymptoms as stuffiness of thehead, running nose, sneezing,etc.

Very often other germs which ilive in the nose, throat, and si-nuses add to the discomfort ofthe patient and the seriousness

common cold. These germscause headaches, mucus in thenose and thro;;:, rawness andsoreness of the throat, and othercomplications which if not stop-ped in time may result in bron-chitis or pneumonia.

To Prevent Colds:1. Avoid loss of sleep and ex-
