This Day in History: 1945-12-23
Because of the many colds sweeping the State of New Jersey, Director of Health Dr. J. Lynn Mahaffey issued some tips to state residents as to how avoid and treat them. Although a few schools had been closed, he stated there was no epidemic at this time. He suggested that people eat a varied diet in Vitamin A and C. To people who caught colds easily, he suggested cod liver oil or some other vitamin concentrate. (Bristow)
