instance of frozen feet was heard of yes
terdsy in our peregrinations around
town. The matter heretofore has been
kept a secret from US for fear that ampu-
tation would ensue and the patient might
" die :" under the treatment. The case
occurred in this wise A clerk and
helper in one of our grocery stores was
very anxious to take little Of the coast
ing that was going on, and particularly |
as far as the large sled was concerned. |
He wanted "to be 10 with that" He |
asked the proprietor of the store where |
he worked to give him permission to be |
absent for q certain length of time. The |
proprietor asked him the reason for his |
request, and in reply to which he stated
his object. The proprietor granted him
the desired favor, and told him to wash
his feet and put on clean socks, which
would lessen his chances of becoming
frost bitten. The said individual not
only did as he was told, but, for fear of
catching cold, filled his clean socks with
cayenne pepper. The result may be
imagined. He made one or two trips,
and the pepper commenced to warm his
feet. On return trip he stopped in
at the store to tell them how we'll he was
getting along-his feet were warm and
he was comfortable. OF course the pro-
prietor of the store was pleased to know
that his employe was enjoying himself.
The sleigh rides were continued. and at
the end Of each trip his feet became
| warmer, in fact, burning. Finally he
| thought of the advice of the proprietor
of the store, and imagined that he had
not exercised due care, and that he was
really frost bitten. Becoming frightened,
he quit the sled and went home hastily.
After getting there he procured bucket
full of water, mixed with plentiful'sup-
ply of snow, into which he doused his
feet in short order, keeping them there
as long as possible. The result was that
the cold water on the pepper caused the
sensation OF burning to increase to an
unlimited degree. The clerk imagined
he was gone; that amputation would be
necessary, and accordingly went to bed.
the burning heat of bis feet causing him
to place them outside of the bedclothes
for the night and sleep in that style.
The next morning he awoke with the
burning pain and a few blisters on his
feet, only being able to wear slippers.
He is now hobbling around. but does not
think his feet are frost bitten.
THAw AND MuD.-The recent pleasant
weather that we have had "over- head"
places the ground in that predicament

allowed to complain, just the least bit.
