Excerpt from The Prevention of the Common Cold

It is my primary object, in the pages that follow, to indicate how this may be done. The fact that a person has frequent colds implies one of two things either there is some error in his surroundings or mode of life (and I hope that this little book may help to show where the error lies) or there is some local trouble which should have local treatment. To avoid carelessness in one's habits of life on the one hand, and, if I may coin a word, crankism on the other, should be the aim of all.

Although, as is well known, many people look lightly upon the common cold, there is also a not inconsiderable number who realise that that serious form of lung disease known as consumption of the lungs, or pulmonary tuberculosis, may originate from a neglected common cold.
