PEROT pS EEE AR, i ; ABOUT CHILBLAINS. THE MOST BOTHERSOME AIL- MENT OF MANKIND. Generally Begin Operations with the Cold Weather—How to Treat—An English Innovation—Some- times Extremely Painful. Coming of A chilblain is a painful swelling and redness of the skin, usually of the feet, but sometimes of the hands, ears, or other parts, occurring in cold and damp weather. One who hag ever suffered from chilblains, however, needs no def- inition of the malady, for his memory will never leave him. The trouble usu- ally begins with the first appearance of frost, and persists obstinately until the return of mild weather. One who has once suffered may usually count upon a fresh infliction with each recurring au- tumn. After he has been standing and walking for some time with cold or wet feet, a redness of the skin appears as the feet get warm again, and this red- ness is accompanied by an intolerable mixture of itching and burning. This state of things persists with varying in- tensity, but is always worse when the feet are warmed, and so causes especial annoyance at night, when the sufferer begins to get warm in bed. The itch- ing is such an unbearable symptom that in England, the native home of the chilblain, extraordinary remedies are resorted to for its relief, some old-fash- ioned people going so far as to whip the afflicted part with sprigs of holly until blood is drawn, in order to relieve the congestion. People with a rheu- matic tendency seem to suffer most from chilblains, and it is found some- times that unexpected relief of the local trouble is obtained by anti-rheumatic remedies. A person subject to chil- blains should carefully avoid shoes which are too short or too tight. He should wear soft woolen stockings and well fitting, thich soled shoes. Some can wear overshoes or ‘“Arctics,” but most sufferers find that rubber shoes or boots increase their distress. On returning from exposure to cold or wet, the shoes and stocking should be changed, the feet bathed in cool water, and “patted” dry with a soft towel. Warming cold feet over a register, in front of the fire, or, after the manner of farmers, in the oven, is the worst possible practice, and will almost sure- ly cause chilblains in those who have never had them. When the pain and itching become unbearable, a measure of relief may be gained by putting the feet into a basin of very hot or very cold water for a moment, and then an- ointing them with a salve containing borax. Sometimes slight continuous pressure, such as is made by painting the chilblains with collodion, is bene- ficial. Some cases are benefited by painting with tincture of iodine, but this remedy is uncertain, and may evep aggravate the distress. SOCIAL STRIFE ON EAST SIDE. Heartburnings Over the Dewdrop Pleas- i. ure Club's I Trouble, arising from social jealous- brewing in the Dewdrop Pleas- ». There are mting fac- which, unless they succeed in recon g th misunderstandings threaten to disrupt the organization, says the New Yor pune. much information was gathered last week by a woman shopper at the ribbon counter in one of the large dry-goods stores. “Now, Mamie,” the salesgirl with the purple stock was saying to her neighbor with the Roman-striped necktie, “after the way I’ve been treat- ed you can bet I don’t go to that ball. You know, George and me was to lead the grand march; that was settled long ago. Well, here last week the other party (the last two words spoken with bitter emphasis) decided to give that place to another couple. That was enough and too much for me.” Mamie murmured something about its being better to go and have a good time anywa. even if you could not lead the march, but she was promptly re- proved: “Mamie Perkins, I don’t have to be turned down more than once to take a hint. My principles wouldn’t allow me to go now. No, ma’am; the Dewdrop Pleasure club will have its ball this time without me. If I went folks would say it was the only affair I had to go to this season. Yes, ma’am; that ribbon is 29 cents a yard, best quality, marked down from 35,” she continued rapidly in the same tone to the woman customer, who had by this time come to fee! more interest in the ball than the contemplated purchase. ure ¢ tions, Milk as a Beverage. Many pe n that they eannot drink milk without being ‘“‘dis- tréssed by it. The most common reason why milk is not well borne is! due to the fact that people drink it too} quickly. If a glass of it is swallowed hastily, it enters into the stomach and then forms in one solid, curdled mass, difficult of digestion. If, on the other hand, the same quantity is sip- ped, and three minutes at least are oc- cupied in drinking it, then on reaching the stomach it is so divided that when coagulated, as it must be by the gas- {= juice while digestion is going on, istead of being in one hard, con- lensed mass, upon the outside of which only the digestive fluids can act, it is more in the form of a sponge, and in and out of the entire bulk the gastric juice can piay freely and per- form its functions.
