Colds: Their Cause, Prevention, and Cure
Modest in size, but attractive in its appearance, is the latest book issued by the Review and Herald Publishing Association. Its title is “Colds: Their Cause, Prevention, and Cure.” The author is Dr. George H. Heald, well known to many of our readers as the editor of Life and Health. With an evident perception of the needs of the common people, Dr. Heald treats the whole subject in a clear and simple manner, giving such information as to causes, and making such suggestions as to treatment, as are practical in their nature and capable of being readily understood and applied. To such as do not have a cold and desire to remain free from this unpleasant experience, the book will be a valuable help. To such as have the habit, and whose usual reply to an inquiry concerning their health is: “Pretty well, except a cold,” this book will bring deliverance, unless they count self-indulgence more desirable than health. The diagnosis of the causes of colds is sensible; the suggestions for prevention are such as commend themselves to the average reader; and the methods of treatment recommended are rational and helpful. We are confident that there are very few people who would fail to be benefited by a careful perusal of this little book on colds. The price is twenty-five cents, and it can be obtained through the usual channels.
