WINTER WISDOM
A simple but very effective remedy for "raw" throat and chest, experienced especially by singers and speakers, is to drink hot milk, then for a minute or two bathe the chest with milk as hot as can be endured. Instead of water for .a cold-pack, you might try alcohol—full strength; not only is it more effective.,, but better still, one is not so liable to take cold the next .morning after removing the pack. To relieve a cough take a teaspoonful of heated honey. This will often quickly stop a cough and seems to be especially effective at night. Tor tickling in tho throait, coughing, and hoarseness, a very good remedy is glycerine heated and rubbed hot as can be borne over the throat and chest, covering with warm flannel. An excellent method of relieving a cough is to place a hot-water bottle on tho chest.
