person, to develop a cold.” And one
of the cold’s worst symptoms is a
stuffy, runny, swollen nose. Dust,
pollen, chemicals, dry, steam-

ritants can produce the same
nasal misery.

The host of ailments symoblized
by a runny nose costs Americans
dearly—and in more ways than
one. Translated into economic
terms, the common cold and other
respiratory troubles levy a toll of
S5 million or 150 million working
days a year.
One of the world’s foremost au-
thorities on acute respiratory dis-
eases has predicted victory over
the common cold in five years.

^junjLto check some cold virases.
Meanwhile, cold and allergy
symptoms can be made more toler-
able for the sufferer. A single
dose of a nose drop preparation
called Tyzine, for instance, clears
a stuffed nose -and usually keeps
it clear for about four hours.
• If the cold or stuffy nose drags
on or keeps coming back, or if it’s
accompanied by sinus pains, it is
always wise to sec the family
doctor. ■ **
