Rank Foolishness
You occasionally see it stated
that colds do not result from cold
weather. That is rank foolish-
ness. Were it true colds would
be as prevalent in midsummer as
in midwinter. Microbe that caus-
es colds flourishes in damp, cold
weather. To get rid of a cold
take Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
Mrs. McArthur, who had
,visiting her nephew W. B.
and family the past several weeks,
left Thursday afternoon for
her at New Orleans.
