WARM FOOT-BATHS.

il still remains one of the best modes we
have of combating a bad cold. 1t must be
properly given, but this is very easy mat
ter. The patient should be we'll covered as
to the body: the pail or other receptacle for
the water should be deep and preferably
narrow, for the higher the water reaches up
the calves OF the legs the better. A heaping
teaspoonful of mustard should be added. and
the feet should go into water hot as can
be borne, fresh hot water being slowly added
as that in the bath cools. The whole proc
ess should last twenty minutes to half an
hour. during which a glass of hot water or
lemonade should De slowly slipped.
1t is perfectly ridiculous for the patient to
take the feet out OF the water, dry them,
and go to clearing up the room, is some
times done. Five minutes attention from a
second person Is absolutely needed at this
juncture, il Is most important that the
feet should be quickly dried and the patient
