. Have You Had Your Cold Yet?
Have you had your first cold of the year? Chances are that you
will be one of the estimated 150 million people who will have one or
more colds this winter.
According to the latest authoritative estimates, 400 million colds
will hit the nation this cold season. While many people look lightly
on the common cold, it continues ♦--——
to be our most costly ailment.
Almost 50 per cent of our in
dustrial absenteeism is attrib
uted to the cold germ, causing an
estimated $420,000,000 loss in
wages. It is estimated that Amer
icans will spend about $210,000,
000 this year on cold remedies.
Yet despite these facts and the
continuing ligh cost, the com
mon cold sr,ill remains a vast
mystery to medical science. Re
search against this “bug” is go
ing on night and day in our
universities, medical foundations
and in the research laboratories
of our pharmaceutical firms.
It is now believed that more
than one organism, probably vi
ruses, cause the classic symptoms
we identify as the “common cold.”
Man is the only animal in which
the cold occurs naturally. It re
spects no age limits, no geograph
ical boundaries. It attacks kings
and the laboring man. At one
time or another, almost every
human suffers from this pesky
infection.
Children suffer more frequent
ly from colds than adults, a fact
that is attributable' in part to the
school classroom where one cold
can be spread quickly and easily
throughout the entire group. So,
with school underway the season
of coughs and sneezes and chills
among the younger set is upon
us.
Since medical science, with all
it:; hard work and vast resources,
hasn’t solved the problem of the
< .mnion cold, v.hflt can the aver
;.£• ;:.rr an do to prevent it?
A booklet published by ilie U.
°. IX partmeut of Health, Educa
; op and Welfare gives these gen
ral rules: ]
1. Avoid people with colds j
[ / 7vt^/;A— Hd
whenever possible. When you are
with them, keep your distance
when they cough and sneeze or
shake out a used handkerchief
for another blow.
2. Wash your hands often,
especially before eating and after
touching a person with a cold.
3. Don’t use a drinking utensil
or towel which may have been
used or soiled by a person with
a cold.
4. Keep your resistance up by
maintaining good general health.
Avoid chilling, wet feet, and fa
tigue. Eat well balanced meals.
Give your body every possible ad
vantage when there are more
than the usual number of colds
around you.
If a cold persists, or if you run
a high fever and have what
seems unusually severe aches and
pains, see your physician. A cold
can easily lead to a more serious
ailment, which might be pre
vented if you get proper medical
care and advice early enough.
