    TAKING COLD. Diseases and theie Causes. The health of man- kind is deranged and destroyed in a great variety of ways, and by a vast number of means. The ways in which the health is deranged are termed “diseases,” and the means producing these derangements are the “ causes” of disease. Diseases. The generally re- cognised diseases are about ninety in number ; and these produced, in Eng- land alone, in the year 1861, 427,460 deaths. The causes of these ninety kinds of disease are, of course, various, and not always single; sometimes many causes contribute to produce one disease, and sometimes many di- seases result from one cause.
