202 COLDS. 



Let it be remembered, for consolation, 

 that COLDS or coughs thus treated, before 

 they have been suffered by neglect or penury 

 to become obdurate by long. standing, gene- 

 rally subuiit to a very short course of trouble 

 or expense; whilst tardiness in procuring 

 expeditious relief is often productive of events 

 that no futiu'e assiduity can relieve. By 

 immediate bleeding the obstruction is con- 

 sequently reduced, and the circulation pro- 

 moted ; rarefaction is effected, and the stric- 

 ture upon the vessels removed by the warm 

 mashes, and cordials ; the irritating mucus 

 engendered by the inflamed glands is like- 

 wise divested of its acrimony, and the pres- 

 sure upon the lungs reduced by relaxing and 

 lessening the contents of the body. Under 

 these advantages you are eased of the com- 

 plaint almost immediately, or a critical dis- 

 charge comes on at the nostrils, and termi- 

 nates, in a few days, what neglected soon 

 constitutes a confirmed cough, asthma,

In respect to these disorders, their de- 

 scriptions (or rather the different conjec- 

 tures) have been so extended, turned, twisted.
