Winter Colds

By Dr. Samuel G. Dixon

Gimmiaimr of Health of Pensqrhama

During the frigid weather, you want to keep well nourished. To do this,

your meals should be taken with regularity, and you should take a moderate amount of exercise, not too near mealtime. No better form of exercise can.be found than that of walking with a good brisk step and swinging of the arms. You should keep up a good circulation of blood

that th« digestive glands may secrete a healthful quantity of digestive fluids, and the food be prepared for and assimilated by the body. No excesses should be indulged in, particularly the taking of alcoholic beverages. You should live in pure air night and day, but the very young and the very old should not be exposed to extrefnely low temperatures. Careful observance of these suggestions will do much to prevent, and at least to some extent, help pull you through congestive or even Infective colds, which are prevalent when the weather is so very changeable as it is In winter in our North Atlantic climate.
