Kill That Cold! It Costs $204,000 Here Alone!

By JOE COLLIER HE common cold, which usually gets only the unscientific attention of a handkerchief, this winter will cause an estimated actual $204,000 cash wage loss to Indianapolis employers and employees. There are three sources for this information. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, Health Board secretary, estimated that 85 per cent of all Indianapolis people will have at least one cold in the next eight months and 60 per cent of the 85 per cent will lose from two days to a week because of colds. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce estimated there are 60000 wage earners in the city and their wages are approximately $5 a day—as an average. The United States 1930 census placed Indianapolis’ population at 364.161. The rest is mathematics. It works out that 13.600 wage earners will lose 40,800 working days because of colds this winter. n n ”n

R. MORGAN said an additional 37.400 Indianapolis wage earners will have at least one winter cold but will struagle through without remaining at home from work and thus tear down their resistance and make themselves liahle to more serious respiratory diseases. He said the $204,000 does not in any sense represent

- .

the economic loss, because the percentages were taken only from the estimated 60,000 wage earners of the city and were not applied to the whole population. Taking 364,000 as Indianapolis’ population, 309,400 Indianapolis persons this year, according to past performances, are certain to have one or more colds. The cases of 20 per cent of all who have colds go into major respiratory diseases, and if last year's mortality rate is duplicated, 247 of every 100.000 of the city’s population will die as the result of the disease that started with the cold. These figures are for the eight month period beginning Nov. 1. Already, Dr, Morgan said, the seeds of the first probable respiratory disease peak have been sown in a flurry of common colds noted during the last few weeks. That 20 per cent whose colds will develop into serious respiratory diseases will be disabled from weeks to months, Dr. Morgan said, and the after effects of these diseases on the human mechanism is difficult to estimate. td ” » “ ANY cases of chronic invalidism result from this severe tvpe of respiratory disease,” he said, “such as heart trouble. chronic ear infection, loss of hearing, Kidney disease and others.

“All the public was greatly alarmed when, during the past summer, infantile paralysis appeared. But there were only 16 cases here and only two resulted in deaths. In November last year alone, there were 55 deaths from respiratory diseases, and during last year there were 788 “Any respiratory infection which produces fever should have medical attention. An infection that produces fever, muscular soreness, headache and a feeling ol malaise is ample reason for resting in bed for 24 consecutive hours; or at least for remaining indoors with proper medical care. n ” ”

‘“DARTICULAR attention should be paid to body . ‘elimination. One should drink plenty of fluids. Whisky is not a specific for cold and is harmful in certain stages. “Lowered phvsical resistance from overwork, mental anxiety, loss of sleep and insufficient rest, together with a foggy sunless climate and smoke and soot-laden air all conspire to help the cold get a start. “It is my opinion that early treatment of common colds this year in Indianapolis would reduce by 50 per cent the anticipated number of deaths from respiratory diseases.”
