Northern Advocate, 30 April 1940, Page 2

"Advocate” Office, Water St., Whangarei. Tuesday. April 30, 1940. DEAR NORTHLANDERS — If you know a properly guaranteed, absolutely foolproof cure for colds, please write at once. H.Q. is absolutely prostrate. Leastwise. I am, and the S.P. has developed a teniffle or two. Princess is duly scornful and talks about the bracing cold, while I can’t get close enough to the fire.' And on top of it all I would get a cold—the sneeze-every-two-minutes, head-like-a-pumpkin variety that makes one feel worse than a vain storm on Guy Fawke’s Night. However, 1 don’t suppose it’s much use growling. But I would like a cure, though I’ve read somewhere that doctors say you must let a cold take its course, and that there’s no known cure. The Chief Reporter suggests rum, the Office Boy lemons, the Tohunga some botanical remedy that I’d have to search for days to find—and then probably return with the wrong thing. I really don’t know whose advice to take; but it this eolcl of mine doesn’t get better soon I’il risk the consequences and try all three remedies mixed up together. “And you’ll probably get indigestion as the result,” thp Princess said. “What you need, milord, is to sleep with your window wide open and to get out early in the morning and do exercises while the dew is still on the ground.” “And probably die of pneumonia through getting wet feet,” I said. Princess’ advice didn’t sound too sympathetic to me. I much prefer warm rooms and heaps of blankets and as much sleep as possible these cold mornings, don’t you. Northlanders? Your Chieftain, Rangatira, Northland Tribe.
