HEALTH and SClCEl
THE COMMON COID-HOW TO FIGHT IT
What causes a cold ? That's a baffler. Men of science have been
trying to solve the mystery for centuries.
Youngsters under 10 catch twice as many colds as adults.
1 hat s one or the rew corn lacts /
that have been proved conclu
sively. But adults don't escape
thcm-not by any means!
In the next sixty days Amer
icans will be fighting i!5 million
colds. Cold sufferers lose $500
million a year in lost pay. They’ll
spend $100 million a year on rem
edies — though a pill or potion
that will actually cure a cold is
yet to be found. And the red
noses, coughs and sneezes are un
countable.
But that doesn’t mean that you
ean’t do anything about coida.
Doctors advise staying away
from people with colds as one
good way to avoid them. Keeping
in top physical condition, eating
well balanced meals, plenty of
sleep and rest, wearing suitable
clothes when the weather is bad
so you don't get chilled or wet
all these help you avoid coida.
But, despite all precautions, if
you do get one-bundle yourself
into bed, If you can. If you must
go out keep warm and dry and
get lot* of sleep. Nourishing
foods and plenty 3f liquids are
advised, too.
As to the medicine problem,
lemon and baking soda is as effec
tive a cold remedy as any yet
discovered. Take a half glass of
water, the juice of a fresh lemon
and a half teaspoon of soda a
couple of times a day. It was
.Grandma’s favorite concoction
and still is with many knowledge
able people. It’s particularly good
with children who are apt to hate
anything that comes out of a
medicine bottle.
Best thing about this remedy—
you can vary the taste. A tea
spoon of sugar or of honey makes
it quite palatable. A teaspoon or
two of maraschino cherry juica
gives it a pleasing pink coloring.
Children will actually enjoy it.
So if you, or your family, come
down with the sneezes and
wheezes this winter - remember,
you have the ingredients for
fighting it right in your kitchen.
