 1	    We hear it said: "I exercise daily in the open air. I
  	take cold baths, in order to overcome a predisposition to
 3	take cold; and yet I have continual colds,	                                Hygiene
  	catarrh, and cough." Such admissions ought	                                ineffectual 
  	to open people's eyes to the inefficacy of material hygiene,
 6	and induce sufferers to look in other directions for cause
  	and cure. 
  	    Instinct is better than misguided reason, as even na-
 9	ture declares. The violet lifts her blue eye to greet the
  	early spring. The leaves clap their hands as nature's
  	untired worshippers. The snowbird sings and soars
12	amid the blasts; he has no catarrh from wet feet, and
  	procures a summer residence with more ease than a na-
  	bob. The atmosphere of the earth, kinder than the at-
15	mosphere of mortal mind, leaves catarrh to the latter. 
  	Colds, coughs, and contagion are engendered solely by
  	human theories.
