who take but little exercise, may warm
their colt feet without going to the
fire, All that is necessary is to stand
erect amt very gradually to lit ones
self up upon the tips of the toes, so as
to put oil the ;endons OF tue foot at full

toes as long as possible. thea gradually
coming 10 the natural position. Re-
pea: this several times, and, by tho
amount OF work the tips Of the toes are
made to do, in sustaining tue body's
