The Wingham Advance-Times, 1949-12-14, Page 4DECEMBER is here and with it lurid the "common cold"! Ontario citizens
are reminded now of a few simple helpful rules to safeguard their
health, and that of others.
Prevention of the common cold is the responsibility of all, and if everyone
plays his part much unnecessary illness, expense and discomfort may be avoided.
With the holiday season looming ahead, when so much happiness depends on
everyone feeling fit, why run the risk of "catching cold"—or letting members
of your family face that danger ?
In the interest of parents and families, the Ontario Department of Health
recommends every Ontario citizen to study the common sense precautions
suggested below and act upon them.
