By Harry Julius Johnson, then the Medical Director of the Life Extension Institute and Examiners, who lived to 91.

"This booklet tells you as much as medical science knows today about preventing colds... Colds are caused by germs, or a virus. Not by drafts, or by letting your feet get wet, or by going without sleep. No one of these things causes colds, but they do lower your resistance so that the cold germs can get in their work."
