WHAT IS A "COLD ? "
Tim AVord Tlmt Covers n 3Inltltndt
if Illii Expounded.
Professor 1 > linbcrg , in tho Vienna
Clinical Kcvi ' , on an essay on cole
In the head , i.vs that the "ordinary
cold is no i. ividual complaint , bul
only a collective name for a large mini
bcr of dlfl'went complaints. "
! J < - continues , "The attempt to dis
cover a universal remedy against a
cold is just as absurd as to search foi
a generally eflicacious ruined j * foi
headache. " Tho particular complainl
of which the cold is the symptom
tail only be ascertained by "careful ex
amination of the nasal cavities and
neighboring parts. " Hence sufferers
should be circumspect in the use of
remedies.
The professor says only that which is
true , but of which the mass of man
kind is ignorant. Colds are of innu
merable varieties , but the most com
mon cuis that which is persistently
misu.iulors.nci ! . It is attributed to any
thing but the right cause , which is a
microbe.
All its symptoms are those of a high
ly infectious fever , and the public in
stead of blaming the microbe of infec
tion and striving to kilJ it will persist
in denouncing drafts , wet feet , low
temperature , etc.
They eelude air. the enemy of the
microbe , from their rooms : they supply
a temperature in which it can taultipty ,
and , having become thoroughly inocu
lated by breathing the germ laden at
mosphere. they find that a cold current
of air causes them to shiver. The shiv
ering of the ordinary mind decides the-
question of causation.
It it ? significant of every fever that
it begins with shivering , and a cold
Is no exception.
OKI. wet fe.-t. drafts , etc. , are at
most e ! Iy accessories. By putting a
greater stri ; < m the animal economy
they decrease is ; resistance to micro-
bial infection.
THE KAD1AK BEAR.
IIlN V/5itor Habits Much Like Those
of Ben.ru the World Over.
The Kauiak bear finds no trouble in
getting all the food lie wants during
the berry season and during the run of
the various kinds ci" salmon , which
lasts from .lune until October. At this
period he fattens upid : upon this fat
he lives through his 1 'ig winter sleep.
When he wakes in the spring , he is
very weak and hardly able to move , so
his first aim is to recover the use of
his legs. This he does by taking short
walks when the weather is pleasant ,
returning to his den every night. This
light exercise lasts for a week or so ,
when he sets out to seek upon the
beach kelp , which acts as a purge. He
now lives upon roots , principally of the
salmon berry bush , and later nibbles
the young grass. These carry him
along until the salmon arrive , when he
becomes exclusively a fish eater until
the berries are ripe. I have been told
by the natives that just before he goes
into his den he eats berries only , and
his stomach is now so filled with fat
that he really eats but little.
The time when the bears go into win
ter quarters depends upon the severity
of the season. Generally speaking , it
Li in early November , shortly after the
cold weather bas set in. Most bears
sleep uninterruptedly until spring , but
occasionally they are found wandering
about in midwinter. My natives seem
ed to think that only those bears which
have found uncomfortable quarters arc
restless and that they leave their dens
at this time of the year only for the
purpose of finding better ones. From
"Big Game of Western Alaska , " by
James H. Kidder , in Outing.
