THE HOME DOCTOR.


Dr. Robert Walker says in Hc1lth: It
Is coming TO be too frequent practice
to recommend and employ hygicn1c agen-
cies AZ medicines, and TO rely upon them
as panaceas. The use Of lemon juice has
been SO recommended and employed to
the injury of many patients Lemon
juice Is not q medicine. but food in o
very concentrated form, and, taken I'M
diluted, is calculated to irritatc the
stomach very much IN the same way
that drugs do, and produce injury in
stead OF benefit. Lemon juice well
diluted in water. say the juice Of one
lemon 10 pint Of water, is an admirable
drink IN febriIe diseases particularly;
but 70 take the lemons in concentrated
form or to drink the juice Of several
lemons, as is sometimes done must
necessarily produce injurious results,
and has been known even to destroy
the coats of the stomach. Let lemon
juice be taken in moderation as food
or drink, and it will often be beneficial;
but If used as a g~eat cure-all, will GER
tainly make repentance come too late.

A Boston doctor says in the Ckristian
&c Work: Few ills that flesh is heir to-
give rise to more annoyance than q
s'cOld." The term s'cold" is neither
definite nor scientific; being descriptive,
il anything at all, of the manner in
which the malady Is supposed to origi-
nate; that is, taking q chill. Vet this
cause brings about, as we'll as many
other troubles, the chill affecting the
part Of the body most prone 20 disease,

other diseases
What causes colds, and how can one
guard against taking thema Taking q
cold" means sudden abstraction of heat
from the surface of the body By expos
ure to cold, the effect being intensified
If dampnese be added to the cold. To
render such exposure comparatively
harmless, the great necessity is to keep
tho body in such condition that q prompt
and healthftll reaction is sure to follow
and neutralize any chill. Nothing brings
this about so satisfactorily as to accns-
tom the body TO react from Chic cold
sponge bath taken every morning, The
habit Of reaction thus established is IN
valuable.
We must vigorously protest against
the custom, dear TO the hearts OF moth
ers In Israel, of giving each member OF
the family Saturday night serubbing
with hot water and soap. Many colds
date significantly from this event The
daily sponge bath insures all necessary
cleanliness. The system relaxed by the
use of hot bath becomes abnormally
sensitive TO chill.
A daily walk, briskly taken, does much

from cold. All weather can be faced,
with suitable preparation in the way OF
clothing Sitting in an over-heased room
preludes cold almost as surely as taxi
ing hot bath. Hixty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit is the highest safe tempera-
