effective oral treatment for colds and complications was placed before the british medical association re vealed that he had spent 10 years developing the fluid he and his younger brother dr robert thomson were quick to insist that they did not claim their discov ery was a positive cure or panacea for all types of colds the fluid has been put to severe tests in laboratories and clinics br thomson said he suggested that it be tested further at some large bri tish boys school such as eton or harrow last september dr thomson said my brother and i stai ted tak ing two tablespoonfuls of the new vaccine each night before retiring it had no bad effects and despite de liberate exposure to colds we havent had the slightest sniffle the doctor told of a young assist ant in his laboratory who did not take the treatment he contracted a cold and was forced to remain in bed dr thomsons vaccine looks like strong lemonade it has a dry bitter taste and unlike most vaccines which are injected into the blood stream it is swallowed in large doses this according to the discoverer is of great value when a person he said at the outset of winter wants to immunize himself against cold he formerly had to go to a doctor and take shots in the arm which were bothersome and sometimes sent the patient to bed our vaccine we hope some day will be kept in the family medicine chest like castor oil or iodine the whole family can take it in the fall and the attention of a docto will not bo needed dr thomson added that despite his vaccine there would be infectious colds and the only safe treatment would be to place the victim under the care of a physician influenza he said we found un doubtedly to be the outgrowth of the common cold the physician declared that the new fluid had been found to be from 200 to 400 times more effective than by injection he said the vaccine had proved its worth in clearing up many cases of chronic coughs left after fever and other effects of cold had disappeared
