Re- search into this #1 killer of Canadians is on- going. Your donation will help find a cure and could result in helping you in the future. Give generously. When you get a nasty bum, remember to cool the area right away. Damage will continue to be done to your skin until you can lower the temperature of the burnt area. Immerse the area in cold water. This reduces the pain, tool Startling statistics: In 1970, there were almost 19 divorces out of 100 Canadian marriages. In 1990, the number more than doubled to 39. In the U.S., the percentages were 42.3% in 1970 and 54.8% in 1990. Amazing but true. Drinking alcohol to subdue a cold is not good advice. Alcohol suppresses the immune system which you need to strengthen during times of illness. Also, alcohol itself is a drug and can be a bad mix with other actual cold remedies. So forget the alco- hol, but drink lots of water and juices while you have the cold. HURON APOTHECARY Ltd.
