New Book on Colds

by Dr. G. H. Heald, editor of Life and Health.

The object of this little book is to enable you not only to treat successfully all colds, but to so live that you will not be susceptible either to colds or to any of the common ailments.

Symptoms of Colds

This book emphasizes the necessity of giving immediate attention to the symptoms which indicate a cold, and enumerates certain serious maladies, the symptoms of which are similar to those of a cold.

Colds Classified

The doctor speaks of Hot-weather Colds, Epidemic of Colds, Predisposing Causes, and tells what part the imagination sometimes acts in the taking of a cold.

Prevention of Colds

In the chapter on “Prevention,” instruction is given concerning the temperature of living rooms, especially in winter, with simple diagrams illustrating proper and improper methods of ventilation; important suggestions on bathing, diet, exercise, etc., are also given.

Their Treatment

“Treatment of Colds” is the chapter which will be most eagerly studied by those who need its help. Here will be found practical suggestions for “breaking up” a cold, not by the use of drugs, but by simple means. Sore throat, including laryngitis and tonsillitis; cold on the chest; (tracheitis or bronchitis) and coughs, all receive due attention.

Use of Hurtful Drugs

The use of such palliatives as quinine, opium, and cocaine usually increases the difficulty, and prolongs the attack, or at least renders the user more liable to future attacks.

Study Dr. Heald’s book, and learn how to treat your cold rationally, and thus prolong your life.

“Colds” is beautifully bound in white leatherette, stamped in brown ink.

Price, 25 cents.
