circulation of the blood in the human
body have brought out the fact that If
a man could retain one individual blood
corpuscle coursing for 81 years through
his body, it would have travelled about
$3.50, $50 miles. Assuming that the
heart beats 50 times in minute, blood
travels at the speed of 2o7 yards in a

TO CURE A COLD.

Whatever you do. begin the instant
il dawns upon you that you have taken
a severe cold; that your head is stopped
up. your throat raw, your lungs sore
and every bone in your body aching.
Don't wait TO see if the cold will wear
off; the chances are ten 10 one against
you.
For immediate relief of head and
chest, pour boiling water in the wash
bowl. cover your head and the basin
with a towel and inhale the steam for
fifteen minutes. Afterward, good,
strong snihs Of pure alcohol or men
thol will keep down irritation.
Vaseline rubbed over the nose and
into the nostrils will prevent the un-
pleasant swelling and sensitiveness
from the constant use OF the handker
chief Rub the chest thoroughly with
vasclinc, and cover it with one or two
thicknesses of hanncl-preferab bly, red
hannel-~if there are Indications Of
trouble there.
4 gentle purgatiye is one Of the es-
sentials for carrying off cold.
Dovers powders before going 10 bed
will give ut least temporary relief.
Five drops of camphor on lump of
sugar at night, and five grains of qui
nine in two doses during the next
morning, can be depended upon in an
ordinary cold, but the worst cold you
have had in five years calls for
A hot foot-bath with plenty Of mustard
in il. and
Hot lemonade, ginger tea or whisky
toddy before going to bed.
Go to bed and stay there twenty-four
hours If You can, making it point to
pcrspirc eighteen hours out Of the
twenty-four, with hot water bottle
AT your feet, something hot To drink
within reach, an extra blanket over
you, and flannel dressing sack as pro-
