. July 30, 1950 Dear. Mrs. Cosh: -

Queen Mary has just received the two parcels of garments from the Queen Mary Needlework Guild and commands me to thank you and all the kind members of

the Q. M. N. G. Charlottetown Branch most warmly for their continued interest in the work

of the Guild and their unselfish work for far away London, when they have so many local and Canadian charities crying out foi help-particularly this year with the great distress caused by the floods in,Winnipeg all Canadians must have felt that their first call was to help sufferers from the floods-so Queen Mary is greatly touched that in spite of all calls and claims upon the members of the Charlottetown Branch they have once again been so kind as

to send this much appreciated contribution from Her Majesty's Guild.

Queen Mary will be glad if you will convey her grateful thanks in all contributors.

With kind regards, Your very sincerely, Constance Milnes-Gaskiii Lady-in-Wailing.

WHAT IS THE COMMON. COLD ?

Because the" common cold af- fects more individuals than any other one ailment. not excepting rheumatism, we read more about it in medical journals and news- papers today than ever before. in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Arthur L. Bloomfield, Stanford University. San Francisco, states that both patients and P11yS1C1!m5 are giving too much thought to the use of antihistamine drugs. The llistflmine manufactured by the patient renders him more likely to suffer with colds, just as histamine is believed to be the underlying cause of allergy (being sensitive to certain substances such as food. feathers. pollen. dust). While there is no question but that antihistamine drugs helps ai- lergic patients, it is not definitely proved that they ward off or shorten the period of the common

old. C The common cold has definite characteristics. (1) The patient

must be perfectly well before the onset of the cold. and (2) he must have no chronic nose disorder which can be aggravated and so confuse physician and.patient. with these two underlying con- ditions present, there must also be the following characteristics or symptoms. (1) A constitutional or body reaction-tiredness, chilliness, dullness. aching-often occurring several hours before the "real" or organic symptoms appear. (2) In some cases, slight fever. (3) Local burning in the nose. discomfort or dryness of the mouth, throat and bronchial tubes. These symptoms may start anywhere in nose and throat. (4) Discomfort spreading p or down during a period of a ow days. (5) In some cases no signs of disturbance in nose and throat in early stage. (ii) Disease lasting about five to seven days unless complications arise. That is, the cold itself disappears with- in the week but there may be tiredness, raw nose or throat. or dry cough. (7) No increase in white uus,. l which help fight on infections. such as is present in other diseases of nose and throat. What about treatment of the common cold? The common cold is going to run its course of five to seven days. no matter what treatment is given. But pneumonia. b.onchopneu- mania. pleurisy. and oven tuber- culosis. may be wardcd off by rest. warmth. and the use of quiet-

lng drugs in some cases. - .GNMff
