Isolation for “Colds.”
Most colds, if not nil, tire distinctly contagious, and frequently, if ono member of the family gets a cold the other members take their turn at it, and it runs through the entire household. Every reasonable precaution ought to be taken to p*event the cold from spreading. If nasal catarrh is a germ disease, as we
are strongly incline! to believe, then this eontagion is busily explained, and putients suffering from <*olds ought to he isolated as far as possible. A cold is most infectious in the early stages, and for this reason it is wise to keep the patient routined to the room for two or three days, until he is over the worst of it. Such a procedure is not only good for the patient, hut also the best means to prevent the cold from spreading throughout the family or community. - Alfred It. o!*ea, .!/./>., in flood Health.
