| Show for the NEWS COLDS 11 if you stuff a cold louwill you will have to starve a fever I 1 this saying which is as true as trite has been changed to stuff a cold and an J starve a fever which change entirely changes the meaning and consequently ay is untrue probably no other saying has as caused more unnecessary suffering ering than this in its abbreviated form orm the symptoms which are grouped under the term cold are only anly one set of symptoms by which indigestion manifests itself and as indigestion comes more frequently from stuffing and stilling stifling rooms than from rom any or all other causes caus esthe the continuation of the stuffing ng process means only a continuation of the cold A als ais continuance discontinuance of the stumm stuff scuffling ming ling process and the keeping keepin out of the 11 stuffing room are the fa two wo most essential steps I 1 in th the right direction to get rid of the 1 cold and when it becomes universally known mown as it will be known that the disease now erroneously called a cold never comes from drafts of air or from cold or from moisture there will not berthat be that dread ot pure co cool air even though it comes as a draft draft that there now is and the people will not mistreat themselves as they now do the common mode of treating a cold now is to confine the patient in a close hot room exclude all fresh pure cool air make him breathe the same air over and over again which is a great deal more injurious than drinking the waterton water which the patient has taken his bath continue the stuffing ng and stifling stifling process heap on the clochin clothing and bedding thereby preventing the pois poisonous onous emanations irom from the skin from irom being carried off and try to make the skin reabsorb theland the them mand and what is the result it is stated when we hear a person say as we frequently do 1 I cannot understand it I 1 have caught ca u 11 t one cold on top of another all win winter ter and I 1 have been as careful as i I 1 knew how to be now this care was the cause of the cold in the rat ral first place and of tile the continued catching catchi nl of cold afterwards and no wonder the patient cannot understand it because he Is looking in the wrong direction for the cause and the cure in fact he has lust just reversed the whole process As colds come from indigestion it follows that wh what atwill will cure the indigestion indi es will prevent the symptoms 0 of F indigestion known commonly as a cold indigestion comes from a variety of causes one very common cause and one that is entirely unrecognized by the people is the lack of pure air while the digesti digestive ve process is going anand without it perfect digestion is quite impossible the air is taken into the lungs and is there mixed with the food and ala it is more necessary that the air should contain oxygen and be free from impurities puri ties than that the food should be free from any injurious substance it follows that th at a person shall breathe only pure air for a time long iong enough immediately after each meal to enable the digestive process to get well alon aion along g or better still till quite through eating too much and too often are two prolific causes of indigestion there should be time enough between meals for the stomach to get completely empty and rested two meals in the 24 hours areas are as man many as the stomach can do justice to heat ireat is a very common cause of indigestion this we see in summer time the same effect can be produced in winter by living in too warm rooms wearing too warm clothing or sleeping in a too warm bed mental disturbance over fatigue either mental or phys ghys physical iea ica wil wll will produce indigestion and any cause that will cause indigestion will cause a cold and no other cause will A cold can always be cured in a few hours by abstinence from food by out door exercise the avoidance of bad air heat stimulants and medicines of all MI kinds and the same mode of living will prevent anyone from ever having a cold many theoretically admit this but few will practically carry it out oat too man many y are like the patient who when informed by his lie lle would lose his eyes if he did not stop brandy drinking said good by eyes agthe As the suffering caused by colds exceeds that caused by all other diseases combined one would naturally think that when an easy way was shown whereby all could avoid catching cold 11 or could easily get rid of a coid coldi cold that there is no one that would not gladly adopt it but such is not the case and for several obvious reasons the plan is too simple it comes in contact with preconceived notions both the cause and the cure it ma makes kes us deny ourselves the gratification of certain artificial appetites and we will not do this to get into he heaven aven or to keep out of purgatory much less will we to prevent a little temporary suf fering ferin ghere here many people cannot for a moment e entertain nt ertain the idea that they are doing anything tato to get well without they are dos dosing themselves with medicine and the actual fact is that when then to so iel iee get well weli ve 11 it is as a rule in spite of the medicine d 1 c 1 ne but this wie will be considered heresy and I 1 A HERETIC |
