DIET AND COLDS No diet has value for preventing or curing colds according to Dr. Noah Fabricant, distinguished American ear, nose, and throat specialist in his latest book, “The Common Cold.” He explains that yeast, oranges, tomato juice, butter, eggs, vegetables, meat and liver have their enthusiastic advocates. , Yet in communities where the general diet includes more than enough of each vitamin the incidence of the common cold is just as high as it is elsewhere. In regard to the “alkaline” advocates he mentioned that as far as the nose is concerned a. healthy nose is normally slightly acid in its secretions. There are, of course, experts to contradict such arguments, but few will contradict the wisdom of taking advantage of the special properties of Baxters Lung Preserver. “Baxters” gives relief to coughs, colds and sore throats.
