Food and HEALTH

FOOD ana HEALTH
There are all the indications of it. The
weather will be uncertain; we shall have no
severe frost, but much damp, rainy weather,
exceedingly fertile in creating miasma in the
air and propagating malaria. Throat diseases
are sure to prevail, perhaps more so than those
Of the chest, as the organs of the throat are
quicker attacked by the damp air. Nervaas
diseases will also prevail, as the low, dull tenn
perature will lessen vitality still more in those
who already possess little. Loss of appetite
will troubl Gus, and digestion is not improved
by damp, soft airs. Malarial fevers will attack
crowded houses. SO smll pox and all blood dis
eases will find fertile soil to grow in. These
damp, low winters, though perhaps easier to
bear than the sh arp, frosty, cold seasons, are
generally fruitful in disease. 1t will require
great care to keep ont Of it.
What are our safeguards against disease?
Thorough ventilation In houses, proper cloth
ing for head, throat and feet; good exercise:
nutritious living and all avoidance of taking
cold. Immediate remedial action, when this
has taken place. In such winters as these we
must not allow colds to grow upon us, as they
bring other troubles in their rear.
One great preventive of taking cold is to
never remain in wet-clothes, and to use outside
wraps that will absorb wet and not allow it to
penetrate. Above all to avoid wet feet; also to
keep the feet warm, and If q cold has been
caught to use mustard and hot water for the
feet at once. The foot bath must not be taken
higher than the ankles.
