TraInIno the skin.

The usual effect Of a draft Of cold
air upon the back Of the neck is a cold
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard. an eminent
French physician, devised a by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. BY blowing upon
the back Of the neck with a pair of bel
lows. increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
II is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft Of air on the back OF the neck
in order to obtain this result. BY
means OF the cold bath, the wet-sheei
rub. the shower bath. towel friction,
etc, the skin may be educated to con
tract on the slightest increase Of cold.
Daily exposure to the contact OF cold
air Is Of the utmost importance. II Is

the size of an ordinary packing case
is ranged beside the road. In these
sit bathers OF every age and both
sexes. with their heads protruding.

refill the boxes from the springs. For

TUBERCULOSIS in CHILDREN :

The number OF deaths due 10 tubcr-

Is spoken one inssinctively thinks OF
pulmonary consumption. This IL the
form which attacks adults and which
We see daily gathering IN It's victims.
There are other forms, however, more
common IN children. that levy trib-

Diseases and consumption Of the

eases. Until quite recently, however,
a few years at most. nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
culoais.
Now, however, the attention OF the
world. the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
its durability and preventability.
The causes. the modes OF scatter

The children suffer from tubercu-

Cause and Cure Of Gastric cstarrh

Cause and Cure Of Gastric cstarrh.
Chronic congestion Of the stomach,
known as gastric catsrrh, Is usually
caused by n of the following errors,
or by all Of them put together: Eat
ing too much or too fast; swallowing
food ~insufhciently m~asticated; the
use Of such coarse foods as cabbage,
greens, etc; mustard. peppersauce,
ginger and other condiments and
spices; pastry containing animal fats;
free fats, which lodge in the stomach
and remain there a long time; pork,
griddle cakes and burned fats-these
are the things that produce gastric
catarrh.
The first and most necessary step
in the treatment OF this disease is TO
emove the cause OF the trouble. We
may induce activity Of the skin by
hot applications followed by cold or
hot bath followed by a short applica-
ton Of cold: lamentations followed
by a short cold application to the
stomach. These treatments are use
full. but the most important factor Is
the regulation Of the diet. A fruit
diet is best, for the reason that In gas
trio catarrh there is a great aecumula'
ton Of germs, watch are destroyed by
fruit juice. A Eell-prepared diet OF
toasted bread. zwieback. granose bis.
cult, etc. is also useful In these
cases.

rub one foot with the other. rapidly.
ten or twelve times. Then change and
treat the other foot in the same man
