Fresh Air for Colds.

Do not make the mistake of withholding fresh air from one who has a cold. Well-ventilated rooms are necessary. Oxygen is essential. When the cold is accompanied by a slight cough it is best to keep the child in bed, where the temperature Is even and warm, with fresh air. Rub the chest, neck and back with capsicum vaseline and plain vaseline, half and half. Be careful not to get the capsicum vaseline in the chlld’S| eyes. Camphorated oil and spirits of turpentine, equal parts of each, may be used instead of vaseline.
