CHEST COMPLAINTS.

Erery person suspicious of predisposition to pulmonary consumption ought at all times, but especially in cold weather, to wear a quantity of woollen clothing sufficient to prevent any approach to the perception of chilliness.

Half a teaspoonful of table salt dissolved in a half glassful of cold water will give instant relief in case of heartburn.

Many cases of indigestion, headaches, neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be quickly cured by drinking slowly one or two pints of water so hot that it almost burns the throat.

To inhale steam from a bowl of boiling water is very good for a sore throat.

The sufferer should lean over the steam drowning it in both throat and nostrils.

People with poor digestion should drink no water with meals, but take a - glassful half an hour and drink plenty an hour or so after each meal. Waris may be entirley removed by washing the hands two or three times a day with water in which potatoes have been boiled, or by bathing the wart several times with potato water.
