thin light weight cotton is quite as cool
As Isle. though It is certainly a lirtle
omre expensive in that Il wears through
in less time. lii all cases the stockings
should be changed several times a day,
anil always after having walked any ris-
tanee At the same tome the feet should
be wiped with a cloth wet with soda
water.
The end to strive for, is 10 keep the
feet cool. and anything that does this will
help in the cure. Baths and lotions {
also aids, and very simple treatment
when hot and tired is to rub the soles
of the feet and the instep with a fresh
cur lemon. Let the juice dry on and

and one-half drains of lycopodium, one
third dram of alum and fifteen grains of
tannin.s This powder may also be busted

sometimes follows walking in summer is

a powder of one-half ounce of alum. one

essence Of lavender This is particularly
good where there is a tendency to pers-
piration, and should be applied after the
bath Or when changing the stockings.
At least fAso different pairs of stock
ings should be worn during the day in
summer. one for the morning and the
other for afternoon and evening. The
