COLDS CAUSED BY GERMS

HOW THEY BEGIN— AND HOW TO CURE THEM Colds are spread by germs — germs that float in the very air you breathe. These tiny germs, or microbes,. enter the system through the nose or mouth. They lodge in the numerous little cavities of the nose, throat and lungs, where the warm, moist conditions provide an ideal breedingground. Once there, they multiply rapidly. These germs then infiame the mucous membranes lining the nose and throat, and cause those membranes to "respond" by flooding the breathing passages with mucus or phlegm. The way to cure colds, then, is first to destroy the germs that cause the condition, and then get rid of the condition. There has recently been evolved a new scientific treatment that works in this way. The method is to sprinkle a few drops of Karsote Inhalent on to a handkerchief and inhale the vapours that arise. Laboratory tests have- proved that Karsote vapour will completely destroy the germs of colds, influenza and cartarrh in less than. 10 minutes. Although Karsote is such an effective germicide, it is perfectly safe to use, even by children. Moreover, it is very pleasant to inhale. Each inward breath you take floods every crevice of the bronchial- tubes, right down to the bottom of the lungs with an atmosphere in which germs cannot possibly live. At the same time, the penetrating vapour opens up stuffed nostrils and clears away that 'unpleasant mucus from the back of the throat. Karsote is put up in handy little bottles with sprinkler top and screw cap . So it is just the kind of thing one can conveniently carry in a pocket of a handbag — ready for use anywhere, and at any time. Most chemists and stores now sell Karsote in two sizes, smali 1/6, and 2/3 per bottle.
