Sun Gives Way To Colds
With the quick exit of warm weather and the perennial
siege of spring fever, residents of Klamathi county- now find
themselves plagued with an even more annoying malady the
spring cold. Following the brief period in which King Sol
made a pleasantly surprising appearance, the rains came, and
with them, the aforementioned ailment.
Perhaps the most common cause of the spring cold is im
proper clothing, according to Dr. Peter H. Rozendal, Klamath
county public health officer. During the time when vitamin D
was in plentiful natural supply every member-of the' female
sex was seen sporting about in anything . from shorts and
halters to cool summer cottons. Not wishing to give up with
out a struggle, despite the sudden advent of wet weather,
these same women. cursed themselves with a healthy case of
the sniffles. , .
It is of prime importance to take especial care when, struck
down witn the unfortunate Infirmity, Rozendal said. A liquid
diet' is usually prescribed,, and bed is the best place if. you
have an overload of time on your hands. In the event that
the spring cold is accompanied by a fever, the. family doctor
