Cold-Catching, Cold-Preventing, and Cold-Curing. The preven- tion and cure of colds are partly medicinal and partly general. It is possible to cure colds or prevent them by general measures, and these will be re- ferred to in detail. But medicines are the most powerful agents we possess both in dealing with colds when taken, and in fortifying the constitution against their recurrence.Common Cold in the Head had never before possessed a treatise devoted entirely to itself; The Common Cold has thus triumphantly vindicated its right to be deemed a serious disease in the estimation of the British public. About The Author : John Henry Clarke (1853 –1931) was an English classical homeopath. He was also, arguably, the most important anti-Semite in Great Britain. He led The Britons, an anti-Semitic organisation. Educated at the University of Edinburgh, he received his medical degree in 1877. As a physician Clarke had his own clinic in Piccadilly, London, but he also was a consultant at the London Homeopathic Hospital and did research into new homeopathic remedies.
