the first four ingredients and gradually add the

TONIC FOR DANDRUFF AND FALLING
HAIR
MR.. A. W.-Suppose you try this tonic, it will
doubtless kill two birds with one stone Don't
expect to see luxuriant locks in short time,
because you will be sadly disappointed. It is a
mistake to allow various ills to get such grip,
for they are SO stubborn to remove:
Bay rum, 10 ounces; resorcin, 20 grains; can
tharides, drains.
SHOES AS NERVE RESTORERS
BUSINESS WOMAN.-Eastern travellers say
the reason there are no nervous women in
China is because they wear soft shoes. There is
no doubt that the hard-soled shoes of the West
ern world are the cause of much nerveracking
and mental and physical wear and tear.
After hard day much relief can be found in
the slipping of a pair of soft-soled shoes.
Tired feet and tired will find much
comfort in a footbath, with a handful of
sea salt in it. Paddle about in this till the wa
towel and don fresh stockings If one could
take time in the middle of the day to change
stockings for fresh pair, it would be easier
to keep the feet warm and to ward off rheu-
matism.
Tender feet may be strengthened by bathing
and then rubbing them with methylated spirits
before retiring for the night, and another excel
lent plan is to swathe them with bandage dip
ped in alum water

INSONNIA.-When you are too tired to sleep,
which is the most distressing of the many forms
of sleeplessness, a cold sponge bath will often
stimulate you just enough to let you fall asleep
naturally.
Or. if your sleeplessness is caused by thoughts
crowdine in upon you thick and fast-move so as
Won struggle against them-try putting your feet
in hot water and keeping them there for fully
; ten minutes.
By that time you will be relaxed and able "to
turn off your think" which is the pleasant pre-
lude to sleep.
REMEDIES FOR RHEUMATISM.
/ ANXIOUS.-A solution of sulphur in oil COM
monty called sulphurzed suphurated oil is a
useful local application This solution is made
by prolonged boiling of olive oil, with which
sulphur has been previously mixed. The process
is rather dangerous owing TO the inhammable
character of the boiling oil, and it is abom.
Iinably offensive. The product is not obtainabc
at the pharmacies, but there are special vendors
from whom it can be had mixture of one
part of sulphurized oil, one part of oil of tur-
pentine and four parts of olive oil makes a yet
better lotion; and it can be further improved
by stirring into it, while warm, one drachm of
menthol for every six ounces OF the mixture.
