It does not do to let that cold persist. It can drag down your strength to a minimum until you are not only incapable of good work, but irritable and despondent into the bargain. Especially for the child at school, where one infection seems to come right on top of another, it is important to do something towards soothing and cleansing the nasal passages. Do not use an inhalant that is too strong, like eucalyptus. It should be gentle and pleasant. "IMMUNE" writes from Nelson: "There have been curious, persistent colds and chills this year, affecting chiefly the sinus nerves. One of the best remedies is to put a teaspoonful of Friar’s Balsam in a pint of really boiling water and inhale the steam. A towel ‘should be used to keep the steam from becoming dissipated. Friar’s Balsam stains badly, so use both a jug and a towel that do not matter.
