TO HELP THE HOME DOCTOR
Some Suggestions Regarding Treat
ment Of Small Wounds and
Ailing Feet.

Salt is said to be a preventive of
fostering in scratches, open wounds, ETC..
An American teacher in Porto Rico was
surprised to see a native, who was clear
ing a tract aef brush, apply fine pow,
dered salt to his feet and legs. The
scratches could not be avoided, but a
pinch of salt could be depended on to
keep them from fostering, the mar said.
Contrary to common opinion, salt does
not %aggravate the %painfulness of open
wounds, says Peoples Home Journal.
The value of salt as an antiseptic is
demonstrated by it's general use las a
p~reservative.
Affections Of the feet are especially
distressing in spring and early sum-
mer to those who are obliged to be much
on them. The troubles are not due, as
so many suppose, to tight or ill-fltting
shoes, but to the excessive exercise of
the feet in close shoes without free ac-
cess Of the air to the muscles in action.
The bare-footed boy is seldom footsore,
but the lad whose feet are incased in
close shoes in summer, when the per-
SEPARATION is abundant, is likely to be a
sufferer. One of the remedies for this
trouble is to wear low shoes; so that the
feet may be partially ventilated. Next
in Importance to proper ventilation, is
proper bathing. All persons ought to
battle and rub their feet vigorously once
a day and put on fresh stockings.
Stockings may be aired one day for the
next. It is not always necessary that
they should be put through water every
day. Simply drying and airing them
may be enough. Thus two or three pairs
OF stockings may be worn in rotation for
aweek. Persons who suffer from excess
sfve perspiration of the feet should be
especially particular. They should
battle their feet in cold water, rubbing
alcohol between the toes and powderthe
feet carefully with equal parts of orrfs
root and starch. When a person suffers
from cold feet, frequent bathing is often
ef1cacious, but the feet ought to be
rubbed vigorously after the bath.
