look with pity upon the restlessness Of

And this reminds me Of O talk had

our quiet town. We rather like him,
this DIR. SanaterR, He 10 not very
young; but his knowledge 10 fresh, as
ne 10 not many years out or the schools
and hospitals.
And he will talk, and, what is more,
talk sense. dOn'tthink he IL quite
dependent upon his practice. II he be,
ne stands very much In his own light,
for his one aim seems to be to teach
people how to keep themselves well.

why and wherefore, 80 that you do not
blunder along In the dark, and regard
medical science as kind OF magic art.
And this Ia q bit Of one Of his talks.
1t was a cool, fresh autumn morning,

you were warmly dressed or very busy,
you were q little inclined 10 be chilly.

do: Heat 10 life, and cold Is death.

mo. there is little dangar OF forming
the habit Of depending on II. In time
the circulation may be better, aud the
extra heat only resorted to when II Ia
needed. But half the people live with
cold feet, and then they have head
aches and all sorts OF disturbances, and
then they want medicine forsooth-as II
any magic OF medicine would creep up
Into their brains and draw away the
pain, ...........
How to restore The circulation?
Well. the best remedy l know for
cold feet 10 plenty of exercise and good
digestion. But II you can'l live on ex-

know:

Keep warm. In our climate. with
its sudden changes, very few can do
without the protection OF flannel next
