REMEDY FOR COLD FEET.

About half an hour before retiring to bed put both feet in hot water for ten minutes. Take them out and immerse them in cold water for a second, then take them out, wipe dry, and then rub them warm with the bare hands, followed with brisk out-of-door exercise, if it can be endured. Put on a pair of cotton socks, wrung out of cold or tepid water, and draw over them a pair of thick lamb’s wool stockings and sleep in them. Wash the feet in cold or tepid water on rising ; also rub the whole body with a towel wrung out of cold water, wetting the head first; follow with plenty of friction with dry towel and bare hands, patting or rubbing the chest on its upper and left side, and exercise a little with the dumb bells, chest expander, or anything to make you breathe deeply and rapidly ; that is, draw long and full breaths ; fill your lungs clear up full at every inspiration, and empty them out completely at every expiration.
