PREVENTING COLD FEET.
Many people suffer from cold feet during the winter, especially at night. To make the feet warm, and keep them so for hours, there is nothing better than to give them a brisk rub with a rough towel in this way. Sit in a chair and hold the towel longways across the foot Then, by pulling it backwards and forwards, start a quick rubbing of the sole. About five minutes should be given to each foot, and at tlio end of this time the feet will be glowingly warm.
Another advantage of this treatment is that it will positively prevent chilblains. Anyone who is prone” to suffer from chilblains should try the friction treatment, and they will be surprised at the result. Even when chilblains have actually appeared, as long as they are not broken, the rubbing will restore the natural circulation and make the inflamed places disappear.
