She came to be known for ber generosity, wisdom and as an advisor to her imperial husband, but even these qualities were over- shadowed by the love that bound her to Shah Jahan. She bore him 14 children, and it was in childbirth that she dicd in 1630. Shah Jahan was a shattered man. Historians say his hair turned gray within a few months, and that lie put aside his royal robes for simple white muslin clothes. The Em- peror declared that he would build a memorial to his wife far beyond anytbing the world had seen in beauty and,, it must be admitted, in real extrava- gance. He ' imported skilled workmen from Persia, Turkey and European countries, and built an entire village for a labour force of some 20,000 men. The result was a masterpiece in marble - a sublime experi- e.nce to be ranked with the Pyramids or the Parthenon. J' TODAY'S HEALTH Common sense only way to shake the common cold by David Woods Medical science bas brought under control ail kinds of diseases, like pneumonia and tuberculosis, but so far it's been unable to corne up with a cure for the common cold., And this isn't because researchers find the common cold beneath their dignity as a subject for study: on the contrary, the more a solution eludes them the more cballenging it becomes. Trouble is, the common cold isn't quite as simple as it sounds. It cornes in more varieties than even the ketchup people could dreamn up - about 60. Dr. -M. W . Fujiwara, a Toronto pediatrician and the author of several articles So infectious dis- eases, says, "You could have a cold four times a year, and flot have the saine strain of virus twîce in 15 years." At present, says Fujiwara, the only thing doctors can do is ensure that what they're treating really is a cold - and flot bronchitis, pharyn- gitis or hay fever. Then treat the symptoms. In other words, a runny nose - or what physicians caîl rhinorrhea - is treated with decongestants; the accompanying cough, if there is one, with syrup; and the "dragged out" feeling with some form of ASA preparation. Dr. Fujiwara is somnewhat skep- tical about the use cSf large doses of vitamin C in preventing colds. We ail need a balanced vitamin in- take, lie says, but the research into vit arnim Vs benefits is still incon- clusive. 'Me best way to ward off colds, he says, is to be physically fit, eat sensibly, wear proper clothing and get adequate rest. In other words, the more vulnerable you are, the greater your chances of catching a cold - and the greater your like- lihood of flot being able. to shake it off quickly. But there are no absolute guaran- tees: everybody gets a cold sooner or later, and children and allergy- prone people are especially suscep- tible. Recurrent colds in chiîdren, says Fujiwara, are usually second- ary infections that respond to treat- ment with antibiotiest The fact that colds are much CIRCLE TAXI 128 BROCK ST. N.
