The value of good milk-chocolate

According to the 1915 book The Mistress of the Little House, milk chocolate can help you avoid colds!

"A cold or a chill can often be avoided if a little sustenance is taken when one is out in the wet. For instance, few things are more beneficial than milk-chocolate or raisins under such circumstances, and when anyone is bound to be out in the fog or the wet, it is wise to eat a little to keep the system from getting below par. The value of good milk-chocolate as a sustaining food is not sufficiently known." (page 112)

Any excuse to indulge - it's medicinal!
