A raw, wind whipped spearheads of against Marys face as she hur to Dr. Hayes" office. Entering It cold rain ried his reception room she sat down ex hausted. Drying her rain streaked lace with her tiny lace handkerchief Uif.. niscovered that part of her fa tigue was due to a "Good afternoon, said the doctor, as consultation room. :-light cold. Mrs. Reynolds," she entered his "How ure you feeling today?" "Quite well." replied Mary, cept that this terrible weathei given me a told." "Don't blame the weather "ex has my dear." answered the doctor. "Blame vourself and me. I'll assume some of the- burden. I should have watched your vitamin intake a little more closely. You have gotten along so splendidly that we can't afford to let you develop a cold. You haven t been getting out in the sun lately have you?" "There hasn't been any sun to get into," laughed Mary, "and I have been taking that vitamin D you gave me last month." "Apparently you have not been getting enough vitamin A or D." said the doctor, "I'll increase that prescription for you." "What are vitamins, doctor, and what do they do?" asked Mary. "I can't answer you first question. Mrs. Reynolds, because no one knows exactly what vitamins are. No one 1 as ever actually seer, a vitamin. I believe one scientist has recently claimed to have isolated one of the vitamins, but we are ne t sure. I sometimes eompare vitamins to oxy gen. You never saw free oxygen, yet your life depends upon it. Some times I like to compare vitamin? with sleep: you can't see sleep, yet without it the body would soon wear out. "To date science has discovered six itamii:3. A. I!. C. D. E. and G. Vitamin A promotes growth and helps you resist disease, especially diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. Vitamin A is found in milk, greeu vegetables and in some animal and fish livers. Oils made from cod and halibut livers are rich in vitamin A. We are go ins: to fight that told of yours by giving you more of this particular vitamin. It will help you fight the infection. Of course you must also keep warm and dry; in fact I want you to go to bed and stay there for the next -4 or -IS hours. Do sure your ; rooni is well ventilated and 'drink "plenty of water, lemonade or orange juice. Rest and build up your resistance. That's the best way to nght a cold. "Vitamin B is also necessary in in your particular case. It helps pre vent constipation, nervousness. lo. 01 weight and general weakness. It is found in the germ cells of rnun. many yeast. v)t the "Oh. is why i;ia;n malt extraels. and in vegetables and fruits." " said Mrs. Reynolds, vou advised me to cat "tha whole cereals and take brewers' yeast?" "That's right." said Dr. Hayes. "You know the human body is a deli cate and complicated machine. It can adjust itself to abuse, but it runs much better with proper care. Just like an automobile. A motor can chug along for a long time even though the carburetor is 1'oor mixture of air and It can run lor a while if giving a gasoline, the oil is poor, the spark plugs dirty or the water low, but how much better it runs w ith new : park plugs and a good oil and good gasoline. Vita mins are one of the necessary little gadgets nettled to keep our motor in good running order. "I don't need to tell you about vitamins C and I). You read about them every day. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Tomatoes are another good source of vitamin C. It pre vents s"urvy, strengthens tis-me tone slid helps keep your gums firm and Ival'hy. The body cannot store up much vitamin C, so you must eat .".'iir.? foods containing it every day. "Vitamin D. like vitamin A, is I'ound in the livers of the cod and halibut and some types of salmon. Epg yolk is very 1 b-h in vitamin D. Milk, cream and butter contain some of thi'; vitamin. Sunlight is the best source t;t supply. The action of sun light on the bare skin produces vita ii in D in the body. "I've had to discontinue my sun baths lately," said Mary, "the weather has been too cold." "i know," replied Dr. Hayes, "our bodies arc a little to-) tender to withstand the rigors ;f winter. That is why v.e advise Bottle Sun shine cod liver oil or similar prep arations. This is especially import ant to you because vitamin D en ables you to use the phosphorus and calcium in your food to build strong body teeth and boiie.3 for your young ster. You must manufacture strong teeth for the child to prevent their decaying." "I hope." said Mary, "that with your help I prove to be a good njanu facturtr." At that moment John was ushered into the office. "Good evening, doc tor; hello Mary. What do know?" "I know a lot," said Mary, fact I'm an educated woman. you "in I've spent th B.
