The "cold Air Cure.

Cold air purifes the blood, ener-
gizes the heart, puts new vim into
the muscles, helps the stomach, wakes
up the liver, lifts the whole being to
higher plane of life.
The most successful consumption
resort in the world is Dayos, winter
resort in the Swiss Alps, near the En-
gadine, where the snow Is six feet
deep and the temperature close to
zero all winter. Every winter hun
dreds of tubercular patients from all
parts of the world resort to Davos to
take the cold air cure"
Cold air cures (there is no doubt
about it,, when accompanied by wise
and skillful management, and careful
regulation of diet. In the summer
season this great healing force is
available only in small measure by
means of cold baths, ice rubs, and
fans; but in the winter season, the
keen frosty air is everywhere, ready
to be put to work as the great uplift-
ing power it is when rightly applied.
The winter season alone provides
continuous tonic conditions The
dense air, containing from one-eighth
to one-fourth more oxygen than mid
summer, stimulates all the vital pro-
cesses to higher degree of activity.
Here is a healing force which is in
operation day and night, and steadily
lifts the patient up to a higher level
until the ebbing tide of life turns
backward, and renovating forces of
the body resume their activities with
all the old-time vigor.

Piled the fuel is not entirely con-
sumed. This leaves "cinders" which
are the cause of many chronic dis
eases, and of premature old age.
The fuel supply may be regulated in

ent on the kind and amount of air
breathed. Cold, crisp, fresh air fur
nishes perfect draft. The blood takes
from this kind of air. when it is
breathed in. just the element needed
to burn the food.
Six breaths of outdoor air contain
as much of this element-oxygen-
seven breaths of overheated, indoor
air. AS man breathes about eighteen
times per minute this means loss of
four thousand breaths a day by living
in hot, close. indoor atmosphere.
The amount taken in depends on the
habits of life. A deep breath must be
earned. A few moments vigorous out
dor exercise will do it. The nostrils
dilate, the chest heaves, the heart
quickens, the lungs expand. and the
fresh air is pumped into the body at
rapid rate. The draft is open. The
cinders are burning up. The whole
system is being cleared of rubbish.
Don't be afraid of cold air. There's
life and health out of doors.
