keep the feet warm at all hazards until the
health can be set right. Don't be afraid OF
making them tender. They are tender al
ready or sensitive to cold, and attempts at
hardening them lead to danger of cerebral
attacks.
WOMEN PAST MIDDLE AGES.
Women between 10 and 30 often suffer
with this disturbance of circulation, and
they must keep warm if they live like
Russians to do so. At night sleep in warm
socks, with hot soapstones at the back and
the feet. Sit with the feet on the register or
not footwarmer. Electric baths and coarse
diet, with outdoor exercise, will correct the
faults of circulation. The thick stockings
of waste silk, just introduced, would doubt
less be of great comfort.
5. wants to know what will keep her hair
from falling out. It was once very thick
and nice, but has been falling out for years,
and continues to do so. She can give no
reason for it, as she is we'll as far as she
knows. Will cutting the hair cause it 10
CROWN again? The cause is probably not
disease SO much as sheer neglect OF the hair;
Its exposure to the dry heat and dust OF
ordinary houses and want of regular treat
ment. If woman would preserve flne
head of hair she must take the same care OF
1t she would velvet gown; air it, brush it,
keep it from dust and bad air, and wear 1t
tenderly.
INDIGESTION AND BALDNEss.
Impaired indigestion often has tbs effect of
making the hair fall long before its presence
Is noticed in other ways. In fact, half the
people in the world don't know whether
their internal economy is right or wrong till
1t is almost beyond repair. The first step to
restore the hair should be to wash the head
gently with the yelk of fresh egg beaten in
pint of soft water, and we'll rinsed off with
quarts of warm water. Do not suari the hair
i'll the process, but braid it in dozen tight
braids and wash the sItin between them care
fully, then wipe with a soft towel and dry
over hot stove or register. Do not go out
in the wind till the hair is thoroughly dry.
There is not only danger of neuralgia but of
injuring the roots of the hair by sudden
chill. Ali women whose hair falls will find
it best to sleep in caps of bobbinet or in silk
nets.
1t should always be braided for the night
in one or two braids, the ends secured by
little elastic bands, and these braids pinned
round the head so that the hair will not rub
between the shoulders and pillow, which
wears it out Then daily it may be sponged
at the roots with one or other of the lotions
below. The shops have sponge with an
apply lotions to the scalp. 1t is called the
capilave, costs % cents upward and is quite
a convenience.
NATIONAL HAIR REMEDIES.
To remedy falling of the hair each nation
has its prescriptions. The American treat
ment with vaseline is the only one I can
recommend from experience. The French
cling to the use OF brandy and quinine, a
taaspoonful of quinine powder to half pint
ofbrandy, diluted to suit the skin, applied
night and morning to the roots of the hair. A
weak decoctioI of walnut leaves is another Of
their fsvorite washes. The English believe
justly i'm DR.. Erasmus Wilson's lotion of
eight ounces of cologne, one ounce tincture
OF cantharides, with half dram each Of oils
of rosemary and lavender. One OF their old
recipes for the hair is q small handful of
box leaves infused in pint of boiling water,
with five tablespoonfuls of Jamaica rum
added after an hour
The decoction may be strained or left
few days with the leaves in. These are
standard old recipes against falling of the
hair and badness, highly recommended for
generations. i have been, told that Nor
wegians and other people of the north of
Europe use fresh sperm oil for the hair, and
priced restorer in this country owes its
virtues to the same thing. A Danish recipe
highly praised is this: One ounce of salt,
three ounces of sweet oil, an ounce of
cayenne pepper, a small glass of spirits of
ammonia, put in large quart bottle and
filled with hot water. 1t is well shaken
and stands for ten days, when it must be
strained through linen and kept for use. : A
sponge is wet with the fluid and the roo is
of the hair we'll rubbed with it at night. II
must think the quantity of ammonia excese
sive. For most women this will bear at
least another pint of water.
