Taking Cold (the cause of half our diseases) : Its Nature, 

 Causes, Prevention, and Cure. By John W. Hayward, M.D., M.R.C.S., 

 L.S.A., etc. (London: E. Gould and Sons, 59 Moorgate St. 1S87.) Price 

 is. 6d. 



This little book, which has now reached its 7th edition, was originally pub- 

 lished under the conviction that, by attention to the directions it contains,

 frequently cure a cold at its onset, and thereby prevent the development of 

 many of those serious diseases that would otherwise follow. It contains, in 

 our opinion, a large amount of most useful informution.
