CURE FOR COLD FEET.

simpls Means for Avoiding = Common
Winter Amietion-
Before many more days shall have
elapsed not q few Chicago women will
be suffering from a complaint which
doors terror and thus aggravstes the
trouble when going abroad becomes
unavoidable. Cold feet are not I'M
common even in warm weather, but
the suffering at such times is mild,
while in the fall and winter It is little
less than torture. A doctor who was
consulted on the subject has this to
say: Physical disorders of the most
unexpected nature are traceable to this
complaint. 1t can be safely said that
large proportion OF lung diseases are
que to cold feet. The blood repealed
from the extremities goes to the lungs
and eongests them. Asthma arises
from the same cause, and brain and
eye troubles can sometimes be traced
to habitually cold feet don't say

they reached womanhood the mischief

Obliged to suffer on, II they knew
enough, to mitigate their suffering by
such sensible remedies as rubbing and
warm bathing, with proper regard
for the covering of the feet. Wear
WOODEN, cotton or silk stockings, ac-
cording to your comfort. II the feet
are prone to be dry as well as cold
they should be soaked in hot water for
ten minutes every night, thoroughly
dried and rubbed with small guam
tity Of sweet oil, bestowing special at
tention upon the soles. Nothing that
can keep the feet comfortable should
be considered a trouble. as, aside from
the fact of their affecting the physical
condition. their relation to the nerves
must be considered. Trouble with
the feet means nervewearing strain
The following has sometimes proved a
simple cure for cold feet. Stand erect
and gradually lift yourself to the tips
OF the toes, coming to the natural po-
sition in the same easy manner. Re-
peat this exercise several times each
day and the circulation of the blood
must be improved. Diet has some
thing to do with the degree of improve
ment, and afflicted women are advised
to shun much sailed meat, pies and rich
puddings."

supposed to form part Of sHudibras, {"
and SO confident have even scholars been
on the subject that in 1884 a wager was
made at Bootle of 30 to / that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was referred to as the
arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea Of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
Every fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, "Pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, in what
canto they are to be found2"
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con-
fess "that man might be ignorant of
the author Of this we'll known oouplet
without being absolutely fool. +" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar The one that comes
nearest is the following, in "Hudibras,
book 8, canto 8, verse 248:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
The fact, however, is that the couplet,
thus enormously asoribed to the author
Of Hudibras, occurs in small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written in the reign Of Charles
u.-Exohange.
