Morris gives Brussels $300 grant
Medical science has brought
under control all kinds of
diseases, like pneumonia and
tuberculosis, but so far it's been
unable to come up with a cure for
the common cold.
And this isn't because
researchers find the common cold
beneath their dignity as a subject
fof' study: on the contrary, the
more a solution eludes them the
more challenging it becomes.
Trouble is, the common cold
isn't quite as simple as it sounds.
It comes in more varieties than
even the ketchup people could
dream up -- about 60.
Dr. M.W.Fujiwara, a Toronto
pediatrician and the author of
several articles on infectious
diseases, says, "You could have a
cold four times a year, and not
have the same strain of virus
twice in 15 years."
At present, says Fujiwara, the
only thing doctors can do is
ensure that what they're treating
really is a cold — and not
bronchitis, pharyngitis or hay
fever. Then treat the symptoms.
In other words, a runny nose —
or what physicians call rhinorrhea
— is treated with decongestants;
the accompanying cough, if there
is one, with syrup; and the
"dragged out" feeling with some
form of ASA preparation.
Dr. Fujiwara is somewhat
skeptical about the use of lar ge
doses of vitamin C in preventing
colds.We all need a balanced
vitamin intake, he says, but the
research into vitamin C's benefits
is still inconclusive.
A second birth control and
family planning clinic is opening
in Huron County this week,
following the success of the first
clinic, held every Tuesday night
in Exeter.
The new clinic, sponsored by
the Huron County Health Unit
and paid for by a grant from the
National Department of Health
and Welfare, opens tonight at the
Health Unit Office in Clinton. The
Clinic, with a nurse and doctor on
staff, will be held every Thursday
night from 6:30 to 8:30.
Huron County Health Unit's
Director of Nursing Gurpal Thind
says that women in hospital who
have just had babies and young
people have expressed a need for
this service. The Exeter clinic,
which opened in July in Huron
Park is nearly used to capacity.
The clinic will provide
counselling and referrals to
The best way to ward off colds,
he says , is to be physically fit, eat
sensibly, wear proper clothing
and get adequate rest. In other
words, the more vulnerable you
are, the greater your chances of
catching a cold — and the greater
your likelihood of not being able
to shake it off quickly.
But there are no absolute
guarantees: everybody gets a cold
sooner or later, and children and
allergy-prone people are
especially susceptible. Recurrent
colds in children, says Fujiwara,
are usually secondary infections
that respond to treatment with
antibiotics.
. The fact that colds are much
commoner in winter, says Dr.
Fujiwara, has to do with the extra
load on the respiratory system:
with each breath you take, the air
has to be warmed, humidified
— and germs and dust removed.
With colder, drier air, and
because people are more confined
in smaller spaces in winter, the
risk of spreading infection is that
much gr eater. Moreover, the
sun's ultra violet rays dorit have
the same sterilizing effect on the
air passing between people.
Should you go to your doctor if
you have a cold? Fujiwara says
that, if everybody did so,
physicians wouldn't have time to
treat any other form of disease.
So, until scientists come up
with a cure for the common cold,
about the only weapon we can use
against it is common sense.
specialists, discussion of different
contraceptive methods, blood
tests, pap smears, and a complete
physical for every woman who
attends, all free of charge.
Contraceptive devices, including
the pill, are provided free at the
clinic.
"We try to keep up with the
newer methods of contra-
ception", Mrs. Th find says,
"including intro uterine devices
called the copper salmon and the
copper T".
The cli nic is in no way trying to
reduce the county's population,
Mrs.Thind says."We see
illegitimacy that shouldn't be
there. We feel children should be
wanted."
All people over sixteen are
welcome at the clinic, Mrs. Thind
says.Couples are encouraged to
attend together. • Appointments
are preferred but not necessary.
