AFTER THE HOLIDAY.
Br A PHYi'ICIAN. " Thfere is no air in tho office. The vhole town smells' Phew! I hate work," you mutter. You can't take a deep breath. You feel tired and depressed. , , Yet you have just returned from a wonderful holiday. This is the common lot of all ot us arid it has a medical reason. Tho sea and country air with its freedom from fumes and the by-products of industrial operations fills our lungs with o.xvcen. /,■ , . The blood, instead of combating poisonous gases and fighting organisms, has the comparatively simple task of biapplyinß tho tissues with oxygen and removing the products of combustion. The sudden change to the used-un air of the towns throws extra work on the blood and it takes several days for it to get into its stride again. , , ,< Do not overtax your strength for first two or three days. See that you get a certain amount of fresh air and exercise and you will then reap the benefit of your holiday.
