U tanooga Bl PATRONS OF ' HUSBANDRY. At th4 meeting of Norwich grange, No. 172 last Wednesday evening In Pythian| hall, Dr.- C. C. Gildersleeve accepted an invitation to give a medi- cal talk and entertained and instructed the members with a paper upon San- itation nf the Body. ° * He said in part:— The literature for the layman per- taining to personal hygeide is in a great measure unsatisfactory and ir- responsible. Many of the so-called health books are of questionable au- thorship, often the compilation of a layman, perhaps an amateur patholo- ‘gist, an insccurate physiologist, a moralist of vague opinions, with, un- fortunately. a tendency to cater to the prupent. Such books make hy- pochondriacs of ‘their readers and if they ipclude advice as to self treat- ment they may do great harm. It is the duty of physicians to correct any morbid attitude of their clientele. We should not have “every man his own physician” as seems often the object in lectures, periodicals, and books re- lating to health, rather give every man fundamental knowledge that will en- able him to understand and if neces- sary, formulate, the requisate rules for health, and to distinguish scientific medicine from quackery. Stripped of its superfluous technicalities, this knowledge may and should be im- parted te_every one of average intelli- gence and education, and it is desir- able that more literature and personal explanation in this direction should come from the American Mgdical Pro- fession. The subject is much too im- portant to be left entirely in the hands of lay teachers and writers. Care of the Skin. A hbealthful condition of the skin depends largely upon a judicious diet- ary systematic exercise, regular bath- ing and proper clothing. I will speak at this time only upon the subject of bathing as dietary, exercise and cloth- ing will come later. For practical purposes baths may be described as cold, below 65 degrees; warm 90-98 degrées; tepid $0-90 degrees. Cold baths are stimulent. should be taken before breakfast and soon after arising. A cold sponge bath is very good thing and next in value to the shower bath or tub. Most persons can take a cold bath if they become accustomed to it gradually. For those advanced in years or any person with weakened blood vessels. cold baths are not indicated. If after a cold bath the body is thoroughly rubbed with a rough towel. & reaction follows and the bather experiences a sensation o warmth and general well sbeing, cold baths are all right for him, but con- traindicated if this reaction does not take place. Warm baths have an ex- thremely sootRing effect on the ner- vous system and for thig reason are night_ before retiring. After al amount of physical labor, hen the muscles are sore and aching, othing is more welcome or soothing han a warm bath. Never, when $veary, take @& cold bath at might. A_hot bath should neyer be taken, except upon the advice of a physician. A tepid bath is generally employed for cleans- ing purposes. and may be taken at any time though preferably in the af- ternoon._ or just before bed time and should be taken oftener than once a year as did a patient we received in the hospital. The proper time to bathe js just before a meal or about three hours after, In order to digest food the stomach needs an abundant supply of blood to form .its neces Jjuices and ferments, and if diverted from the stomach to the sur- face of the body by means of the digestion will necessarily People: should not remain in water until their fingers and lips are blue And teeth are chattering. Ten to twenty minutes is long enough Convalestents and persons with oi ganic disease sould only bath in water when under medical supervision. Turkish, Russian and other baths are not within the scope of their di: cussion. Some people suffer from baths—prurits or itching this is gen- erally due to an irritable skin or ne; vous or digestive disturbances. Kor such people the bath should be of ‘short duration—the skin dried gently without friction and -some dustion powder like starch and zinc oxide ap- plied freely to the skin. In practice. I have often found that adults insist upon bathing and scrubbing children, infants especially too much and themselves too little. If I were to build me a house and could not afford both a bath room and a parlor, I'd give up the parlor. The face should be daily bathed with cold water as it stimulates the blood vessels and im- proves the circulation. ing hot water upon the face and then under- going exposure to cold air and wind has a decided tendency to produce chapping and roughening of the skin. Therefore, young ladies, to keep the chaps away, bathe face with cold wa- ter. If the skin is unnaturally dr ease. (like cold cream) may be used th perfect freedom and without dan- ger of injury.

Conn: ~— “ My baby was eroas and restless and fretted night and day. One morning I discovered that her body was all | broken 6ut in small water blisters and I was told ghe had the eczema the worst way. The eruption first looked like fittle water blisters, then it turned so it looked like a plece of raw meat. It jtched so badly that we had to muffle the baby's hands to protect it spreading all over her face. It certainly disfigured her terribly and sho could not rest at night. Her clothing was wery irritating to the body and when it was removed her body was raw. We had her treated for about two months when it spread all over her body, face and head and seemed to grow worse all the time. I took good warm water and Cuticura Boap and lathered it all over her and allowed 4t to dry on and then when It was thoroughly @ry I applied the Cuticura Ointment. In sbout a week I could see a big change and in three weeks you never would have known #he éver had eczema and sho never has been troubled since.” (Signed) Mrs. George Coe, Nov. 20, 1912, < A sitigle cake of Cuticura Soap (25c.) and box of Cutieura Ointment (50c.) are often sufficient when all else has failed, Sold throughout the world.

Keep the children’s hair! cut often—frequent cutting of the hair does mot increase the number of hairs. Singeing the hair is an ab- | rd idea—as are all hair restorers; and most hair tonics. Care of Nose and Throat. To keep the nose and air passages |below it in healthy condition, the nostrils must be open for the passage of air. The commonest cause of stopping up the nose in children is | enlargement by adenoid growth ‘of the pharyngeal or third tonsil—this'is placed back or behind the rear open- | ing of the nose, and when enlarged may obstruct breathing. Practically | i all mouth breathing children have this {form of obstruction. If this form of | nasal blocking be allowed to persist, it hinders development of the inner | nose from non use—it retards mental | and physical growth. In aduits, de- | formities of the septum cr polyps are the most frequent causes of nasal ob- | struction. 1 think every ome tod: | vealizes how important—how very im- | pertant it is to have nasal and throat defects remgyed. Children suffering from enlargéd tonsils often show a marked gain in weight and health af- ter their removal, and in adults con- tinually recurring infection nece: tates treatment and remo of { al the tonsils before proper hygeine of the throat can be affected.

Often those who keep or try to keep the canal of the ear.clean with spoons, hair pins etc.; have the larges. and hardest masses of wax or cerumen in their ears. Rarely or never drop oil or any other liquid in the ear. Never wear cotton in ears except in emersency. If for- eigr bodies become lodged in the ear, try turning head to side of ear af- | fected and gently rubbing in front of jear—if this is unsuccessful, -get an expert to remove as soon as possible, Eyes. onic to demic to W treatments is best physical Sight is one of the most important senses we ha Some people have second sight-—some see double es- | peclally,_after liberal potation.

The eyelids are of delicate constr on and the physi- cian is often enabled to judge well of the general circulation from their ap- pearance. Rings around the eyes mean sluggish circulation or changes in the ‘composition of the blood. Puffi- ness or swelling of the lids often is a sign of disease of the heart or kid- sometinmes seen in young in the early morning means & quarrel the night before. Black eye is a simple extravasation of blood into the loose tissues of lid: applied continuously helps this condition or try sopping on warm olive oil.

Give the meat to the | or_over-ripe vegetables. to light and conjfection—these or any | | othe they seem to be able to digest | ing. All food should be ther-: onfhly chewed _or masticated before being swallowed. . “There’s more truth than poetry in Fletcherism, ‘he breakfast and dinner should be the heartiest meals of the day, gen- erally speaking, although when'a per- son has a nervous stomach or is the subjeet of indigestion, it may be well | to wait Until the middle of the after- noon- when the heartiest meal should be ' taken slowly, composedly and cheerfully, There should be & few hours_rest after supper before retir- ing. Persons with weakened arteries should eat very light suppers. Chil- dren may eat between meals if they eat something easlly digested. A utllwnrt‘hbonr requires and can digest a larger meal, rich In fats and starches than can a sedentdry or in- dolent person whose. supply of food should be small and digestible. If tea, coffee, cocog, or water are drank at meal time they should be drank before and after eating. Many articles of diet that are con- sidered unwholesome are so usually because they are badly prepared. Too much can not be said in favor of scientific cooking. Potatoes properly cooked are a staple form of diet. Green vegetables are palatable and fairly nutritious. Never use decayed Fruit is us- ually used too largely by the Ameri- can’ people, fruits help the digestive organs. Fruit before breakfast is golden-—at lunch it may well be used, but should not be eaten between meals. The harm in eating fruit may lie in its excessive use or in eating that which is unripe or unsound. Lungs. A large percent of incipient tuber- cular cases are directly the result of improper breathing. Tne apices ~or top of lungs not being fully expanded. Only pure air should be breathed and when the carbon monoxide gas ac- cumulates in the air we breath dire results may follow. I believe it i wrong and unhealthful to sleep in & warm room. Only by proper breathing pure air is the blood stream cleansed and made pure and life glving. Pure air and sunlight are death to germs.

Mr. Jennings is of the old school of teachers and is of opin- fon that there is altogether too much in the curriculum of the present time, more than the average young mind can master, and that the teaching of |the three R's, and that thoroughly wolld be preferable to a general smat. tering of other matters of education, By the three R's the vetéran schoo master does not mean Rum, Roman- ism and Rebellion, but Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic. The report is very interesting read- ing, as it is decidedly reminiscent, contains most excellent quoted para graphs, a really humorous poem, and tellg of the school work and the needs of the department for the best plan of teaching the young idea how to shoot for a good education. Few educators have had longer experience in school work than Mr. Jennings and he ought to know just what is best to impart in the way of bengficlal knowledge to the rising generation. There is liable to be a change or two in the personnel of the school janiters of New London and for a first time the Janitors are to be appointed under a new set of regulations that will prob- ably disbar some who have served fer Niagaras | NEW LONGOW'S SCHOOL JANITORS Govern Them with ‘Increased Salaries—Firemen Ready for Metropolis—Annual Re- Schools |years to the full satisfaction of all ;rnncernf‘d and for the best interests of jthe schools.
