Many people have a great horror of going out of doors for fear of taking cold. If it is a little damp or a little windy, or a little cold, they wait and wait; meanwhile, weeks and even months may pass away and they never during that whole time breathe a single breath of pure air.
The result is, they become so enfeebled that their constitutions have no power of resistance; the least thing in the world gives them a cold, even going from one room to another. Before they know it they have a cold all the time. If an opposite practice had been followed, of going out an hour or two each day regardless of the weather, a very different result would have taken place. The truth is, the more a person is out of doors, the less easily does he catch a cold. It is a widely known fact that persons who camp out every night, or sleep under a tree for weeks together, seldom get colds at all! (This article was written in 1871 but still holds true today!)
