No. 3 [page 1, column 1] ~ People Don’t Catch Cold But Have Fever ~ Inflamation[sic] of the Nasal Musus[sic] Membrane is the Cause of the Contagious Disorder. Germ Not Known. Common So-called “colds” are the [m]ost widespread and least dangerous [of] all infections. The term, “catch[in]g coldl [sic]” hides a termendous[sic] amount [of] ignorance and relieves many a care?? as physician from criticism. Many person believe that exposure [to] cold and drafts produces this trou[bl]e, hence the term “catching cold” ?s an actual matter of fact a ther[mo]meter will show that instead of hav[in]g caught cold we really have fever. [If] a person has made a hot house plant [of] one’s self, then exposure to drafts [an]d cold may do some harm, but more [co]lds are caught by going into poorly [ve]ntilated and crowded rooms than by [ex]posure to cold. Under these condi[ti]ons there is often times a dryness of [th]e nose and throat, which certainly [m]akes it more liable to infection. The [no]rmal secretion of our noses is a pro[te]ction against infection. the flow be[in]g outward and washing out dirt and [ge]rms. The action of this secretion ?? readilly[sic] seen when one’s nose is ?own after a dusty railroad trip. Ex[po]sure to drafts in a person who is ?t accustomed to an abundance of [fre]sh air sometimes produces a similar [re]sult. Colds are unquestionablly[sic] contagious at what germ produces them is not ?sitively known. It seems certain [th]at several kinds have the ??wer, since the “cold” is only an in[fla]mmation of the nasal mucus mem[br]ane, and is not a specific disease in ?? sense that typhoid fever and tu[ber]culosis are. “Colds” occur in epi[dem]ics and are spread by direct con[tac]t of one person with another. Sneez[ing] is one way in which “colds” are ???ally spread. ~ Hematite Items ~ Rev. CROPPER preached at the Chris[tia]n Church Saturday evening and [Sun]day morning and evening. Mrs. C.
