cures heartburn and remedies cramps
by removing the acidty from the stom-
ach as we'll as relieving the liver.
THE food Of dyspeptc remains too
long In his stomach, fermenting ana
causing Inflammation. Try helping the
stomach to get rid Of it's contents. Place
one hand at the extreme edge OF the
left side Immediately under the ribs
and slightly overlapping them. Then
work 1t round to the right by pressing
the fingers in as hard as you can, draw
ing the hand across to the right with
the other hand, at the same time swing
ing the body to the right, then to the
left Practice this daily before meals
and reasonable food Will never set
like lead on your stomach. Here Is
good suggestion for plethoric, or
full-blooded man: When waiting for
the fellow that doesn't keep his appoint
ment, place your hand at the back of
your neck where the hair joins 1t and
rub downward. You will thus empty
the glands and prevent their turning
neck at the angle of the jaw and draw
them firmly downward over the course
of the jugular vein. This will remove
the used-up blood from the brain and
make that organ feel light and clear,
helping you to keep from getting hot
under your six collars like Kiplings
engine.
IF you have tendency to varicose
veins, when you sit down elevate your
feet. The blood will flow out of the
turgld veins and give you great relief.
BY deep friction from the heel upward
you can encourage the return Of the
blood to the heart as we'll as give tone
to the feeble veins. If you have red
nose 1t is because the blood enters the
superficial vessels of the skin and does
not return from it. If you would rem
edy this condition, perform regularly
this little feat: Grasp the tip Of the
nose between the thumb and fingers and
massage upward to the root. This
method empties the vessels of used-up
blood and allows fresh blood to flow.
Besides, you are not half as likely to be
afflicted with cold in the head. one
exercise especially designed to prevent
bay window below the ribs is this:

and leg to its full height without bend
Ing the knee. then the other. alternat-
ingg the motions, or vary the exercise
by putting the toes under the bed
clothes, raising the body to the sitting
posture several times. This exercises
the muscles of the abdomen and pre-
vents the accumulation of fat.
cold feet, so often found among
brain workers, can be overcome by pro-
noting a vigorous circulation. Imme-
diate relief can be had by standing in
about one inch Of cold water in bath
tub. Stand on one foot and rub 1t with
times for not more than three or four
minutes. Follow this up by vigorous
rubbing with crash towel, and the
good effects are almost equal to walk
ing in dew, recommended by Father
Kneipp. A fit of blues Is a habit that
