Protecting the Elderly from Cold

At this season of the year old people need to take especial care to avoid getting chilled. Cold is one of the most deadly enemies of old age. A large share of the elderly people who die succumb to the influence of cold, inducing pneumonia. An abundance of warm clothing, with warm but well-ventilated rooms, is essential to the old during the cold season of the year, and they should avoid the exposures which younger persons may endure without injury.—Herald of Health.
