The ranks of the teachers in the Otago district have been seriously depleted this month by sickness, no fewer than thirty relieving teachers having had to go on duty. In many cases the cause of the breakdown is failure of nervous energy, or some functional disturbances of the nervous system.
I know hundreds of people who never attempt to get rid of their winter cough. "Oh, when the hot weather comes, it •will go," they say; "in the meantime it is not very bad." If they only knew it, by the neglect of their cold this winter they are laying themselves out for one next winter, and perhaps, a life-long illness. A cold lowers the vivality of the system, and while in this weakened state you are open to develop consumption, bronchitis, and other similar ills Be advised and look after your cold; it simply means a few doses of Baxter's Lung Preserver which you can get at 1/10 a bottle at your storekeeper.
