Curing a Cold in a Day

By David Paulson

If you want to cure a cold in a day, you must get after it the very first day that it sets in, otherwise it is likely to run its course. If it has settled on the chest, take a hot foot-bath in the evening and hot fomentations to the chest; follow by a heating chest pack to be worn overnight, arranged on the same plan as the heating compress for the joints. Wrap up warm in bed, and leave the windows wide open.
Or if you feel chilly all over, take a general hot blanket pack in the evening. Finish off with a cold-mitten friction, and go to bed immediately. These treatments translate the individual for the time being almost into the kingdom of health.—David Paulson, M. D.
