Common Cold Is
in for Big Battle
e . Q
Joint Action of Many
Sciences Proposed to War
on Disease.
New York.—Medical men and funda
mental scientists are asked to co-op
erate in a determined effort to con
quer the common cold, which is sald
to be the most persistent and harmful
enemy of mankind, causing more
deaths and greater economic waste
than any other disease.
The joint attack was suggested by
Francis P. Garvan, president of the
Chemical Foundation, in a recent ad
dress before the American Drug Man
ufacturers’ assoclation, in which he
urged that body to bring together
physician, pharmacologist, chemist,
bacteriologist and pathologist for the
purpose of making a co-ordinated
study of the common cold and formu
lating a cure for it. The Drug Manu
facturers’ association has appointed a
conmimittee to co-operate with the
Chemical Foundation in instituting
the work of research planned.
As in the days of war, scientists in
all fields will be asked to pool their
knowledge and resources in an exhaus
tive investigation of the evil to be
fought. Each will contribute his
share in close co-ordination with the
others. In this way all the aspects
of the disease will be covered and
what is now a scourge may yield to
the common attack of experts and
cease to be a blight on human health
and happiness.
Colleges Will Help.
The 7,000 hospitals and the 400 uni
versities in this country will be asked
to become partners in the undertak
ing. They will become Pasteur insti
tutes to study the nature of the cold
and to use the facilities of their lab
oratories in such away as to make
each supplement the work of the oth
ers. Hospital and laboratory work of
this kind will be supported from a
common fund to be created for that
purpose.
There will be no difficulty in raising
the fund, Mr. Garvin thinks. The
main task, according to him, is to lead:
the public to see the stupendous
waste in physical energy and economic
productiveness which the common
cold causes, and induce organizations
already existing and amply equipped
to merge themselves in a collective
endeavor.
In Mr. Garvin’s opinion the re
sources of the whole domain of funda
mental sciences are needed to achieve
victory. As all sciences overlap, the
task of conquering disease is no long
er that of the physician alone, but of
the chemist, the physiologist, the |
pharmacologist and the bacteriologist |
as well. The common cold is a dis-‘
ease that demands the co-operation of
all thgse scientists. It challenges, ‘
likewise, the employer, the business
man and the parent.
Other Ills Have Yielded.
The pooling of the resources of all
the sciences involved, Mr. Garvin be
lieves, can be depended on to accom
plish against colds what similar co
soperation has accomplished against
other diseases. Scarlet fever, smallpox,
tuberculosis, hookworm, yellow fever,
diphtheria, typhoid fever and diabetes
have thus been subdued. Intelligent
interest on the part of the public in
any struggle of this sort for human
well-being is a requisite of success.
The whole human race is weakened
by the common cold. The expectant
mother is affected by it and transmits
its influence to the child. Because the
common cold is regarded as an un
avoidable disease, people are inclined
to pay little attention to it, though
the need to fight it is as urgent as if
it were a disease with a terrifying
name.
More than half of the expenditure
of the hospitals of the country goes
toward combating the effects of the
common cold. From 60 to 80 per cent
of the physician’s practice deals with
aiflments attributable to the same
cause. The lion’s share of the nation’s
$500,000,000 drug bill is spent for cold
remedies. Os this amount three-fifths
{s paid for patent medicines alone,
most of which are sold as cold al
leviatives.
There are said to be 45000 drug
items on the market, most of them
supposed remedies against the com
mon cold or its effects. Thirty years

Story of Joshua Supported by Exca
vations in Biblical City of
Kirjath-Sepher.
New York.—Science has unearthed
new evidence in support of the Old
| Testament, and has under scrutiny
| possible new evidence corroborating
the New Testament.
Melvin G. Kyle, president of the
Xenia Theological seminary in St
Louis, arrived here from an arch
eological inspection of the excavated
ruins of the Biblical city of Kirjath-
Sepher founded by the Canaanites in
2000 B. C. and finally destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar, the Chaldean Kking,
in 600 B. C.
Doctor Kyle declared that succes
sive ages of the city, mentioned in the
book of Josbua, and now called Tell-
Beit-Mirsam by the Arabs, were traced
by layers of ashes from the five times
it was burped, and by kitchen utensils
' THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA.
$ v ey
ago there were 2,700 items on the drug
list, all told. The fact that there are
80 many “remedies” against the cold
would seem to indicate that some of
them are not remedies at all,
An Enemy of Health.
According to figures available, the
ravages of the common cold are far
beyond anything imagined by those
who suffer from the disease without
paying much attention to it. It com
pels every man, woman and child to
abstain from work for several days
every year—some estimates run as
high as seven days. It paves the
way for other diseases. It imperils
and causes the postponement of sur
gical operations.
During the influenza epidemic all
such operations, except in emergency,
were delayed two weeks in all the
hospitals in the city. This was due to
the fear of post-operative pneumonia,
which develops after an operation and
spreads through a ward rapidly. Nine
ty per cent of child mortality is due
to colds. 4
The waste caused by common colds
in the basically important industries
is enormous. Besides suffering direct
loss in productivity, these industries
are obliged to maintain expensive
medical departments, employ large
staffs of health workers and engage
safety directors to attend to cases
that are the outgrowth of colds. They
‘could afford to pay large sums to
eliminate or reduce the loss thus en
tailed. \
Considerable work has been done
toward ascertaining the nature of the
disease. The bacteriologists have
spent years in laborious investigation,
The medical profession made an ex
haustive study of respiratory diseases
during the war. The United States‘
public health service, numerous
health committees and local health de- 1
partments as well as insurance com-‘
panies kave contributed to the purely
statistical presentation of the problem.
Cause Still a Mystery. |
In spite of all attempts to deter
mine the specific cause of the com
mon cold, the cause remains unknown.
A cold, as the doctors explain it, is
a catarrhal inflammation of the lining
of the mose, mouth and throat. It is
held by some to be due to infection
with some peculiar germ which as yet
has not been found. Some think that
this micro-organism is so small that
it cannot be detected even by the

The city, which Doctor Kyle esti
mated to have had a peace time popu

lation of perhaps 15,000, had under
neata it rock-hewn rooms for water,
food and war supplies. He estimated
that the ruins provided a complete ac
count, in agreement with the Bible, of
the Canaanites from 2000 B. C. until
the exodus and the city’s destruction
in 600 B. C. The expeditipn led by
Doctor Kyle, which has employed from
sixty-five to eighty-five laborers since
excavation began, cost but $2,500.

Prof. Solomon Zeitlin, it is said in
dispatches from Paris, as an incident
to examination of a manuscript re
cently found in Russia. He will go
to Russia to study a document said to
be a copy in Slavonic of Josephus’
most delicate instrument. At varfous
times various bacteria’ have been
thought to be the cause of colds, but
no definite organism has /yet been
chosen to bear the blame. Medical
authoritles generally are not quite
agreed as to the bacterial origin of
the disease, Evidence is still being
collected and weighed. |
"Others think that the cold is due to
chilling, wet feet, wet clothing, ex
posure, drafts, etc. But people who
live in the colder regions of the earth
seldom suffer from colds. Eskimos
are not subject to coughs and colds,
even when exposed to dampness and
drafts. They often fall ill, however,
after visiting a ship.
Colds are most common in the tem
perate zone. In this country few per
sons are immune from them. Not
more than fifteen out of every hun
dred are lucky enough to escape with
only one cold a year. The ailment is
most frequent in early childhood and
least frequent after middle life.
According to Dr. A. R. Dochez of
the Presbyterian hospital, who is do
ing special research in the field, the
cold, in itself, is of comparatively lit
tle importance. Its chief harm lles
in the fact that it predisposes the pa
tient to more serious diseases, such as
measles, typhoid fever, scarlet fever
and lobar pneumonia.
How Chemists Can Help.
Chemistry, Doctor Dochez sald, can
contribute to the fight against the
common cold by inventing some anti
septic to be used locally to shorten
the life of the bacteria or stop the de:
velopment of the induced disease.
The aid which chemistry is in a po
| sition to lend the physician grows in
| scope almost daily. In many instances
it has made the very progress of medi
| cine possible. Ether, discovered in
the Thirteenth century, began to be
utilized as an anesthetic five cen
| turies later. Magnesium sulphate, used
| for relieving lockjaw, burns, strych
| nine poisoning, etc., was recognized
by medicine only after two centuries.
| The medicinal properties of amyl
| nitrite became known to the physician
23 years after its discovery by the
| chemist. -
Thus, humanity has continued to
| suffer unnecessarily because physi
| cian, chemist and pharmacologist
| were not brought together to work
out a problem none of them could
solve separately.
: The complex ailments of the body
cannot now be treated by one class
of scientists alone. Other groups must
| take a hand-in the work, the labors
| of all to be co-ordinated and unified.
\ It will be the duty of the new body
sponsored by Mr. Garvin to create the
| conditions necessary for co-operative
research into the nature and the cure
| of the commen cold and other alil
| ments.
“Jewish Wars,” presumably written in '
80 A. D., in Aramaie,
Extant Slavonic versions of Joseph
us contain references to Jesus, but
their authenticity is questioned by
some scientists who believe them to
have been inserted by translators.
Schelars hold that if Professor Zeit
lin establishes the authenticity of the
Russian document, and finds in it a
reference to Jesus it will amount to
a refutation of claims made in 1835
by the German, Doctor Straus, that
the whole story of Jesus was a myth,
&s well as claims that the early his
torian, Josephus, had ignored the ex
istence of Jesus.

SOUTH GEORGIAN DRIVES OUT
ENORMOUS QUANTITY SOUR
BILE WITH DODSON’S
LIVER TONE.
After a long period of the worst
form of weakness and the terrible
feeling of sickness that comes from
a system loaded with sour bile, &Ir.
Sam Puckett says: “When I kept get
ting those bilious attacks reckon 1
took enough calomel to kill a mule.
Got worse all the time. Finally I
turned saffron color all over. My wife
happened to read about Dodson’s
Liver Tone in the Weekly Constitu
tion, so we drove to town and got a
bottle. It was like magic. It drove
quarts of sour bile out of me as black
as ink. From that day I have felt
as if I had a new liver, and whenever
I begin to feel weary and bilious, with
no appetite, a dose of Dodson’s Liver
Tone puts me to rights.”
This wonderful, quick-action, liver
starter ought to be in every house
hold, if for no other reason than to
stop the use of dangerous calomel.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is pleasant to
take, even- for children, and never
makes you sick,
Dodson’s Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs but a
few cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
