Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Don’t be a target for winder ailments!
The raw and chilly months of winter used to be dreaded
because of the serious health threats that came with them.
Pneumonia, for instance, was especially feared.
Just a few years ago, this disease claimed one out of
every three of its victims. Now, fortunately, the threat of
pneumonia is much less serious because the sulfa drugs
and antibiotics are so effective in most cases.
Pneumonia is still dangerous when treatment is delayed.
This was shown in a recent study of 15,000 cases. The case-fatality
rate was twice as high for patients treated after the
fourth day of illness as for those treated earlier. This is
why you should call the doctor immediately when you
suspect pneumonia. When treated promptly, pneumonia
can usually be cured in a surprisingly short time.
What can you do to escape becoming a target for pneumonia?
One of the wisest things is to take proper care of
yourself when you have a cold. In nine out of ten cases of
pneumonia, colds occur before pneumonia develops.
Should you "come down" with a cold, stay at home and
rest in bed, eat lightly and drink plenty of liquids. //a co/d
persists . . . and especially if you develop a slight fever . . .
gel in touch with your doctor promptly.
High fever makes the difference between a "slight cold"
and a "serious cold," because it usually means that complications
have developed. If, in addition to fever, you
also have chills. painful coughing or difficult breathing. report
these symptoms to your doctor at once, for they
almost invariably indicate pneumonia.
While winter is upon us, it is important to protect your
general health. You may do this if you get all the sleep
you need, eat a balanced diet and avoid exposure to severe
weather unless properly dressed. In addition, keep away
from anyone already suffering from a respiratory ailment.
By guarding your health, your resistance to colds, virus
infections and pneumonia may be increased. In the event
you develop one of these ailments, your ability to fight
the infection and recover quickly will be greater.
