RUMAN BEINGS PO NOT GET ENOUGH
VITAMINS IN WINTER TIME
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
Editar, Journal of the American Medical
Association, and of Hygeia, the Health
The winter months are the season
of foughs and colds. ‘These repré-
sent today the most common com-
plaint from which human beings
suffer and lead the causes of ab-
dénce from work ih most industrial
plants. :
In giving ddvice as to how colds
mby be prevented modern hygien-
ists ‘demand first of all that human
Beings ‘be keépt in the best possible
dordition. This means good hygiene,
including proper food, adequate rest
and sleep, a ‘sufficient amount of
water and exercise. It is probably
equally. important that the human
being be not exposed to undue chill-
ingl or moisture.
It is doubtful that there is any
specific drug, vaccine, serum, medi-
cine or physical apparatus that is
of particular - benefit in preventing
a cold. Various types of vaccines
are used by many physicians be-
cause they are convinced that they
help to buud up resistance, but the
majority of physicians are not yet
convinced of the value of this mea-
sure. :
The general impression is that the
human being needs both vitamins A
and D to help resist colds. Vitamin
A can be had through egg yolk,
butter and the leafy vegetables, and
amin Dis found richly in cod
liver oil.
It is, of eourse, realized that the
ave human being in the temper-
al
e zone does not get hough sn
sht during the winter mont! d
‘body is deficient in vitamin D at
fiis season. He may theréfore ‘get
his vitamin D in the manner men-
tiowed, or he may sécure it by tak-
mg cod - liver oil concentrates: - of
vitamins A and D, pow available in
tablet form or by ilar me .
“It should be borne in mind, how-
eyer, that hobody | Biol utely cer-
thth as to just how frirch vitamin D
has to do - with The ‘prevention of
éol@s, and that the use of the ap-
paratus or the . prepara that

Perhaps the silliest custom has
been the feeling ‘of certain mothers

invariably it -is the slender, under-

The best authorities are convinced
that the child should wear in win-
ter undergarments containing about
30 per cent of wool, that the under-
wear should have full-length arms
and legs, and the caiid should wear
long stockings, which may be part
wool, during the winter season.
In addition, the cnild under four
ears: of age when taken outdoors
should wear leggins and an outer
coat which can be fastened well
around the neck and allow a knitted
sweater underneath.
