PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF COLDS
That persona with colds
(Should go to bed and stay there
'for three days, or until conva-
I lesent was the recommendation
of Dr. M. J. Rosenau, an out
standing medical authority who
was known as “The Father of
(public Health.” It was his con
viction that this measure would
do much to prevent further
i spread of the infection and less
en cold complications.
A multitude of cold studies and
experiments have been made
since Doctor Rosenau’s prescrip
tion. None have effectively with
stood the test of time. Physicians
now generally agree that the in
cidence of colds is not altered by
the use of vaccines. Carefully
(controlled studies have shown
| that the giving of one or more
I vitamins or mixtures of vitamins
i will not protect against the oc
currence of respiratory infec
tions. No evidence has been
found that ultra-violet light has
any beneficial influence on the
co m mon cold. Experiments
among university students have
shown that a certain percentage
oi colds cleared up within a few
days regardless of the type or
absence of treatment.
Caused by Virus
Most medical specialists agree
that the common cold is caused
by a virus—one of those toxic
organisms so small that it can
pass through the pores of a clay
filter. When the virus sets up a
cold, other germs may attack the
areas in the nose and throat that
have been damaged. These germs
include the ones that cause pneu
monia. those which produce sore
throat, the staphylococci related
to pus infection, and the influ
enza germ.
The fallacy that colds are due
directly to exposure, drafts, sud
den changes of temperature, and
chilling of the body clings per
sistently. These, authorities be
lieve, are merely predisposing
factors. They cannot originate
the specific cold organism.
Bed Treatment Best
The concensus of medical opin
ion seems to be if persons would
isolate themselves by remaining
in bed during the first three days
of a cold, they would not only
benefit themselves, but would
largely prevent the spread of the
infection. In the usual uncompli
cated cold, symptoms should
clear up within a few days.
If the cold is accompanied by
fever, a persistent cough, or a
pain in the chest, face, or ear,
a physician should be consulted
immediately. In secondary infec
tions, some of the newer drugs
may help when administered un
der the direction of a physician.
After Effects Serious
Could the suffering, inconven
ience, conditions left as a result
of the disease, and economic loss
from common colds be totaled, |
these infections would be re
moved from the trivial into the
rank of serious diseases.
While colds themselves are i
never fatal, the complications
and after-effects are serious.
These may be rheumatic fever,
pneumonia, sinusitis, nephritis,
heart diseases, and a depressed
vitality which favors other infec
tions and hastens the progress
of organic diseases.
Individual efforts to prevent.
the spread of the common cold i
would aid the suppression of tu- !
berculosis and cause a diminu- I
tion of pneumonia and complica- I
tions of the upper respiratory
tract.
Pevention Often Possible
The prevention of colds con- I
sists, first, in avoiding the infec
tion and. secondly, in guarding I
against the predisposing causes.
The debilitating causes include
conditions that diminish resist
ance: contaminated air, dust,
drafts, sudden changes of tem
perature. exposure to cold and
wet. overwork, loss of sleep or in
sufficient rest, improper food,
and other conditions that lower
the general vitality of the body.
Resistance may be strengthen
ed by good hygienic habits—es
pecially diet, rest, sunshine, and
fresh air. Hand to mouth infec
tion should be remembered and
the hands washed before eating
LYERLY WOMAN HELD FOR ASKING
CASH FOR FICTITIOUS IB VICT’K
ATLANTA —A pretty 24-year
old Lyerly woman was charged
recently with quoting the Bible
and using the mails to defraud
unsuspecting, would-be benefac
tors of an indigent “tuberculosis”
victim.
She indentified herself before
IL S. Commissioner Frank A.
Holden as Eugenia West, 24,
Route 3. Lyerly. Unable to raise
82,000 bond, she was committed
to jail to await trial in district
court.
Postoffice Inspector J. A. Cal
lahan said she had sent out
thousands of mimeographed let
ters asking for a “loan of $1” to
help treat a “fellowman suffer
ing with a serious development
of tuberculosis.’
Callahan said the letter quoted
the Bible on benevolence and de
scribed the “ailing’ man as
“nearing 50 years of age” with
