Are "Cold” Winters Necessary?
You don't catch
cold... it catches
you! Shop in
holiday-crowded
•tores...ride elbow
to elbow on buses
or trains ... sit in a
paoked stadium or movie
house... and you double
the chance of infection.
Coughers and sneezers pass
along most colds—but you can catch
cold from persons whose symptoms haven't appeared
Can you avoid a cold? Yes, in
two ways. Become a hermit
this winter. Or, take precau
tions. When you have to shovel
out the car, dress in several
layers of light clothing; avoid
chilling and overheating. Keep
feet dry. Best defense? Much
rest, balanced diet, fresh-air
Despite precautions, many of
us will still catch a cold this
winter. For heavy colds, bed
rest often speeds recovery.
When colds strike, take Cory
ban, a symptom-relieving drug,
which helps reduce fever, re
lieve headaches, and other
discomforts. It contains anti
histamines, Vitamin C, and
fever-fighting ingredients. If $
symptoms persist, consult your
physician. _
