The Common Cold Can Be Beaten
Sir: • I was interested in your-:-article in the
Feb.. 10th- issue, ',Outgrowing Common
However, the opening sentence,
,"There is no cure-all for the common
cold", may no longer be true.,
The noble prize -winner, Dr. Linus
Periling •published a book in '1970 en-
titled, Vitamin C and -the Common Cold,
in which he presents overwhelming fact-
ual evidence that we - can prevent the
cold." Dr. Pauling claims that, we can
do this by taking a sufficient amount of
Vitamin C daily - from one to two grams
(1/4 - teaspoon-). ioVitarnin, C .hars
the advantage of being a natural sub-
stance, is completely non-toxic and thus
is quite safe, which cannot be said about
most of the other drugs , we take to
fight our colds. If you happen to take
too. much Vita'min ,C, it simply is nat-
urally pagsed out of the body-- It is
also relatively cheap. A year's supply
will cost from $5 to $20 per person,
depending upon how much you need to
take to maintain health; it varies for
each person. This price is for the pure
crystal or powder form which you have
to order from a drug store. It comes
in 500 gram and 1 kilogram bottles.
It's much too expengive if 'you buy it
in the 'tablet form' in small bottles on
the shelves.
If interested I suggest you get the
full story in Dr. Pauling's book, pub-
lished in Bantam paperback. It's very
convincing; and if Dr. Pauling is right,
this -indeed is a modern miracle, I'm
on a Vitamin C program now, so, ask
me next year how many colds or 'flu
attacks I've had.

Long Term Decisions _
I'm rather interested in the subject of
marriage these days, for various reasons.
Not for myself. Oh, no. Once bitten ...
But I was asked to write a ceremony
for a mock wedding to take place at a
bridal shower recently. I used some stock
gags. "Marriage is a solemn institution,
and is only to be entered into if you
wish to spend the rest of your life in
an institution." And "Do you take this
woman to be your aVful wedded wife?".
And the conclusion, from a' "bishop" who
has his services confused, "And may God
have mercy upon your souls:" Stuff like
that.
Thought that was the end of it. Then
my daughter arrived home for a weekend,
with her current fiance. It seems the
young man had asked her to marry him.
The weekend was pretty obviously a
confrontation thing, where the parents and
the boy friend are'exposed to one another,
with the potential bride sitting by,- darting
wildly, nervous glances at both parties.
Let's_ listen in. for a moment as panicky
thotights,scoot through her mind.
(Oh, why did Don have to say that?
MomU think he's stubborn and stupid just
because he didn't agree with 'her. Oh, no,
he made another gramtnar error! Sure
enough, Dail pounced on that. Oh, please
Mom, don't go into that three-hour story.
about how you and Dad lived on $60 a Month
when you were married. Oh, lordy, why
is Dhd asking him all those questions
about how much- a sculptor makes, how,
many sculptures he's sold, and how he's
going to payback his student loans, as
well as mine because by George he isn't
going to...support us? Oh, dear, I wish I'd
never mentioned it.)
Actually, it wasn't like that at all. In
fact, I took the whole thing very lightly,
as who wouldn't whose daughter has been
engaged three times within a year.. The
only thing that floored me was that Kim said
this fellow wanted to ask my permission to
marry her. This seemed so old-worldly
in this day' and age that I immediately
became suspicious, as . —
(Ch-"huh. Wants ,my permission, eh?
Let's see. Permission means approval:
Approval meads it's going to cost me a
lot of money,. one way or another. And
so on.)
However, as I said, I took it all
rather off -handedly until I went downstairs
Sunday morning, and found my wife and
daughter arguing about the wedding:
tow many guests, who they were to be,
what she'd wear, where the reception
Would be , and all that jazz.
"What wedding?", I roared into the
maelstrom. At least it stopped them long
enough.so that they could re-group forces
and attack me. I discovered that -I was
an old fud, a-fuss-pot, an obstacle in the
course of true love, a cynic, a mater-
ialist, and a few other things such as a
miser, a hypocrite ("you and Mom didn't
- have a nickel when you got married"),
and a misanthrope., 1 cheerfully agreed
to all the charges, which took the steam
out of their attack.
Sent the kids off with a flea in their
ear, and half our Sunday roast. The flea
will buzz unheeded, and the roast will be
scoffed with gusto. That's life.
Would it were as simple for every-
body as it is for the chap who ran the
following advertisement in the"personal"
column of the city paper recently:
PROFESSOR
of surgery and head of surgical research
of a North American university, widower,
age 60, financially very comforta.ble, bril-
liant, good looking, in excellent-"'health,
active in sports, with broad interest in
the humlnities,, arts and music, wishes
to meet an elegant lady of Jewish faith,
age 40 to 50, good looking, intelligent, and
independently wealthy. Object -
matrimony.
The rest of the ad dealt with the
mechanics. The ladies were to send photo-
graph and all details. If they .shaped up,
a meeting would be arranged selectively by
telephone.: If they didn't, they would get
their junk back.
Well, I can't help but admire the
` man for . laying it on the line, even though
he is obviously an arrogant boor. He'll
get so many letters he'll never have time
to get married.
Nor could I help composing in my
mind a ,similar advert extolling my own
virtues for Leap Year ladies. It ,an to
only twelve words., As a party game, try
making up your own marriage advertise-
ment-."You might be surpriSed at how much
you have to offer to that vale of tears
and laughter. Marriage is a solemn in-
stitution. 1 f you are a solemn prig,
