Taking Vaccine
for Colds
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
? Bell Syndicate.? WNU Service.
THERE has been much writ
ten the last few years about
"colds" because colds not only
cause many absences from
school or from work but are the
starting point for more serious
conditions such as bronchitis,
asthma, broncho - pneumonia
and pneumonia.
That colds are due to the entrance
into the body of a tiny organism
ana lis proaucis u?
the belief ot many
physicians, but
there are many
"head colds" that
can be traced to
foods, pollen of
plants, lack of vita
m i n s, tiredness,
moisture in the at
mosphere and infec
tions (teeth and ton
sils) which so drain
Dr. Barton the patient's vitality
that a cold has no
difficulty in starting up in the nose
! and throat.
That the use of a vaccine ? cold
vaccine ? has been helpful in pre
venting or lessening the number of
| colds cannot be denied, but the re
sults vary from 10 per cent preven
tion with some physicians to 40 to 50
per cent with others. Also, most
of these cases have been treated by
i injecting the cold vaccine under the
skin. It is interesting therefore to
learn of results of taking these cold
vaccines by mouth instead of by
hypodermic injection.
Cold Vaccine by Mouth.
Dr. George E. Rockwell and Her
man C. Van Kirk, M. Sc., Cincin
nati, in the Journal of Laboratory
and Clinical Medicine, tell of their
studies of 191 patients afflicted with
colds, treated by cold vaccine taken
by mouth.
"The patients came from various
walks of life ? boys in an institution,
cfflce workers, medical students,
factory workers and school children.
In each of these groups half the
persons took the vaccine and the
same number acted as controls (did
not take the vaccine). The patients
using the vaccine took one capsule
with a half glass of water at least
one hour before breakfast every
morning for seven mornings, after
which one capsule per week was
taken throughout the season. One
hundred persons took vaccine and
100 did not (controls). All had suf
fered with about the same number
of colds each year in the past.
"Results: During the experimen
tal year the controls (ones who
didn't use the vaccine) had 375
colds, whereas the ones who took
the vaccine had a total of 94 colds?
a decrease of about 75 "per cent.
There was also a very marked de
crease in days of illness from all
causes among the vaccinated group
as compared with the controls."
For those who suffer with fre
quent colds the cause of which can
not be found, the cold vaccine by
mouth treatment should be worth
trying.
Dementia Praecex.
When it is realized that practi
cally two of every three cases of
dementia praecox ? schrzophrenia ?
or persistent dream state as it is
usually described, have their begin
ning before the boy or girl has
emerged into manhood or woman
hood it certainly gives us all food
for thought. That an apparently
average everyday normal boy and
girl can develop into "day dream
ers," is hard to understand. Some
times, however, as parents or
friends think back a little, they will
remember that the individual was
just a little "odd," had peculiar no
tions about some things, seemed al
ways satisfied in his or her mind
that the way they did things in
school or in the home was the right
way even if it was different from
the way it was usually done by oth
ers. Thus today we find parents,
teachers and physicians watching
more closely for any of these signs
in their children, pupils, or young
patients.
Just how the youngster or some
times the adult got started along
this line of conduct can often be
traced to certain circumstaoces of
early life ? even before the school
age? whereby the youngster, by
withdrawing into himself instead of
mixing, perhaps fighting with, or
studying with, others, could satisfy
himself or be contented in his own
mind, instead of going out among
others and being not the hero he
pictures himself in his dream state,
but just one of the crowd and per
haps not even up to the average in
mental or physical ability.
Dr. Benjamin Pollack in the Psy
chiatric Quarterly says that the
main point is that to this patient his
dream world is the real world, not
the world others live in. In his own
world (the dream world) success or
gratification is easy to attain and so
he is satisfied, and he doesn't want
this idea disturbed.
Hi Ho on Hypocrisy
"Hypocrisy," said Hi Ho, the sage
of Chinatown, "is exercised for the
benefit of those who find courtesy
so scarce that they are willing to
pay for it."
