Perspiring Feet.

Perspiring Feet.
o. Excessive sweating of the feet is
a common and very troublesome
complaint at this time of year. The
stockings and also the shoe leather
become damp and often an annoy
ing odor results from bacterial
growth favored by the moisture.
In mild cases about all the treat
ment required is a change of stock
ings In the middle of the day. and
powdering the inside of the shoes
with equal parts of boric and SAIL
cylic acid powders. If the soles OF
the shoes are made damp by per-
SEPARATION, cork insoles are a great
relief. If the perspiration makes
the uppers damp, then the shoes
should be changed at midday, too.
In fact, 1t is a good thing for the
feet to buy two pairs of shoes at a
time, and wear them alternately.
It is not wise to battle the feet
habitually in very hot water, but
tepid or cool water bathing tends
to strengthen and tone the local
circulation and the sweat glands,
and so to diminish excessive sweat
ing.
One good method is to battle with
cool water, dry well, rub with some
alcohol, and powder the feet with
the boric-salicylic powder men
toned above.
In some cases, when Precipitation
creates an odor, it is helpful to
battle the feet once a day for a
week or ten days with a solution of
a tablespoonful of standard GU. S.
P.) formaldehyde solution (Which l.

ter-two quarts or less.
Although theoretically 1t may
seem strange, practically it is a
help to sweating feet to wear cash
mere or wool or heavy silk stock
ings instead of cotton. Cotton alb
serbs and holds moisture better
than wool or silk-in surgery cot
ton is always employed as an alb
.sorbent, never wool. In warm
weather very lightweight cashmere
hose may be worn with much COM

Smearing the soles of the feet
with glycer1n occasionally tends to
tougher the skin and diminish per-
Spiration.
Between the toes bacterial
growth is most active, owing to the
moisture there. Hence it is often
advisable to keep fresh pieces OF
absorbent cotton or lambs wool in
serted between the toes, or per-
haps small pads of gauze, well pow
dered with boric acid or the mix
ture already mentioned.
Expose the feet to the air at ev-
cry opportunity There is no de.
odorant like air and sunlight. The
custom of covering the feet in al
most air-tight and surely sun-proot
armor is the reason why so many
suffer from excessive perspiratior
