THE PROBLEM OF COMMON COLD.

‘‘ln nearly every hospital there is a legendary student who threw up the medical profession in disgust on realising that doctors had not yet found out how to cure the common cold, and fame and fortune await the iqan who will discover some rapid way of defeating this widespread disability. The medical! “Go to bed” is still not taken seriously. AA r e Have had colds before and survived. Moreover, lie. she. and they all have colds. How can everybody go to lied ? So we set out miserably in the rain. ‘And give a eold to somebody elso’ would have been the natural ending to that sentence long ago. But this season there is a new line in suspects. It is not the sufferer at tho sneezing, flowing stage who is most dangerous, but rather one in the unnoticeable early stages. Still Another complication is that those who have had so many previous colds as to liavo become themselves almost immune are great carriers and breeders of the disease. AA r o no longer even know who to avoid.”— “Evening Standard.”
