Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Progress and Problems, in Preventive Medicine
When I was a boy they told me not to catch cold, but they could not tell me what to do in order not to catch cold, and if they did it was mostly poor advice. Thus I was taught to fear the night air, whereas now we know that the air by night is cleaner than the air by day in that it contains less dust and fewer bacteria; our common sense confirms the observation that the night air in itself containsno injurious qualities. Patients with tuberculosis, and even pneumonia, are freely exposed to the health-giving tonic properties of the cool night air.
