Originally persons in good health are less prone to take cold than those with a lowered vitality, but even persons in robust health will contract the disease if sufficiently exposed to infection. A common fallacy held in the minds of many people Is that a draft will bring on a cold. It is true that prolonged exposure to a draft may lower vitality in some individuals so that they wil contract the disease. Many healthy persons harbor in their noses and throats the bacteria which causes colds, and when the general vitality becomes lowered by prolonged exposure to weather, drafts, or %et feet, or when he undergoes loss of sleep, overwork, improper food, or improper ventilaton, infection sets in by the organisms already present. Prolonged exposure does not necessarily make a person catch cold however. The first symptoms of a told may be a chill, which is not the cause, but the effect, of infection. Colds are contagious, as- any mother with a family of children knows. It is in the early stages that the nose and mouth secretions are most efective and most apt to cause disease in others. Much misconception has always existed as to methods of curing a cold. Probably no remedies are very effica cious in the treatment at present. If every one would stay in bed the first three days of a cold, each one would not only bring great benefit to himself but would largely prevent the spread of the infection.
