PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

Exercise or hard physical work is the
panacea, I believe, for red noses. pinched
faces and shriveled finger tips. for II the
blood circulates briskly, coursing through
the veins, II brings stimulation and
warmth, and this is worth hundreds OF
bottles OF tonic.
However I do not cry down the merits
Of medicine in illness or convalescence.
but do mean that good circulation of
the blood will make one warm and fresh
looking.
of course, the quality OF clothing worn
must be taken into consideration, and /
think a person whose feet are usually
cold should wear cashmere stockings. Ii
these are too warm for the house. the
person might adopt the method of a girl i
know. who has chilblans, and therefore
cold feet, and so when she goes out of
doors over her cotton stockings she
draws on a pair Of cashmere socks before
putting on her street boots. which are a
half size too large. The extra covering
supplies necessary warmth at the time she
needs il.

Relief for Whooping Cough.

Drs. Boue and Triboulet-have spent much
time I'm watching the effect OF morphine
during whooping cough.
They have reported on twenty-six cases
carefully treated by them personally and
of the whole number eighteen cases were
cured in six weeks time. Now the period
for whoOping cough Is given as nine weeks.
Moreover, in these eighteen cases the at
tacks OF coughing were much relieved by
the injection OF morphine In the form of
the hydrochlorate of morphine. This
treatment is said to have no bad effects
from the morphine, and many physicians
in France have begun to follow the meth
DDS of Messrs. Boue and Triboulet who
are among the leading experimental scien-
lists in European medicine.
