No especial nlhnent requires a special
poultice . AlY one of the list may b chosen ,
whether stomach , back or brain Is the tor-
mentng member. To produce a good heat
nothing Is speller In effect and simpler In
make than the chiiiil's Ilollce of breaU and I
milk. Wheat bread Is tIm hest to use. The I
crust of the bread shell b removed , the
milk heated without being , and the whole I
thoroughly Ilosled , so that no lumps oblrulle. ;
The bread retains heat for an Incredible
length of time.
lme.
A Poultice of naxseed Is usually consid-
ered Ihe most emcnclolJs of all. Its soothing
quality , that penetrates the brain centers ,
comes from the pungent steal oC the heated
flax , an herb whose medicinal benefs were
considered by olden dames a panacea for e\-
cry ill.
The flaxseed should be ground up Into
very coarse meal and slowly Incorlral
with being water until a consistent thlcl-
ness Is reachell. No guide ] Is needed for the
quanlly of waler to use , for even an ama-
' teur's eye can judge of thl requIsite stiff-
11055. l the pain Is severe n handful of
110wllerid slippery elm bark added 10 thIs Is
excellent , or the poultice can be an equal
COlllolnd of tIm lwo. Yeast can be added to
the faxseed to give 111ckness , If the bark Is
not procurable.
I tIle pain becolws intense , tobacco awls-
toned with hot water Is very soothing , and
other narcotics serve tIm sale purpose. They
should ho mixed In very thoroughly after the
meal has been prepared.
Doctors universally advocate the usagE of
mustard leaves instead of the home made
efficacious and less
plasler. They are more emcaclols
troublesome. HOltever , In cas of emer-
gency , It Is best to stick 10 plain mustard
and water In the lall up , unless the suitor-
' tender tu stand the sting ;
cr's skin Is too tnder thE stng
10 alleviate this countlr irritant , vinegar ,
molasses or four can 11 sparingly mixed In.
For ulcers , wounds or sores that have
healed badly or have not healed al all , a
charcoal mixed
poultice made of powdered
with bread , or yeast , does more 10 remedy
and reduce irritation than any salve. , I has
n particularly cleansing effect that Is most
gralylng , _ _ . " . . _ _ _ _ . _ _
To make all place a pOUtce as no nurses
at the hospitals do Is something of an art , as
insignificant as It appears. The sufferer ,
sensitive to ph'sl-
whose racked nerves are sensilvo )
cal Impression , writhes under a badly made
application mora than the healthy person
aplllcalon realzes. Pounds of Irregularly laid meal ] ,
thick unwashed cloth , that irritates the
flesh , Edges not caught together between
which the substance oozes over patent and
bedclothes , are condItions that counteract all
probable good.
When your substance Is carefully mixed ,
.and prepared , no lumps and 10 pools of
water appearing , put It aside for n few IIP-
monte to cool While I Is settling down

your mixture on one corner , leveling I over

tortre. Is not Intended to renew the poultice ,
only heating It anew , a modicum of glycerine
should be poured on the surface of tIme
cloth ; otherwise the skin w\ break out In
small pimples or rough patches be lefl when
It Is removed.
The application of poultices Is too seductive -
tive and apt to bo abused , and the conse-
tve quenco Is that the skin ] becomes white ,
wrinkled and sodden and bols , are apt to
Corm and time circulation about that part
Is seriously retarded.

Baths should bo largely regulated by per-
sonal experience IS to what Is beneficial and
what Is not. However , Il Is wel for every
one to know some general truths , for instance -
stance . that a cold bath Is nol cleansing ,
and that an unmodified hot ana 11redlsposes
the bather to cold ; and again , that n tepid
plunge Is n hopeful bid for n headache.
What then ? What now ! When It Is a
mark of a lady
recognized ' and necessary
to take a full bath every day , though our
very wise grandmothers did nothing of the
kind ?
kindVehi , unless you have n personal physical
Idiosyncracy In their favor , you had better
drop Iho tepid [ bath from your list. I Is
much used , but It I not usoful. Take hot
amI cold baths comhlned , and cold ones alone
frequently. A hot bath . as hot as It cnn
frequonty. , Is very luxurious , very cleansing
and very freshlng , but no one shouh stay
In it longer than five or eight mlnules. Then
I
n quick cold sponge or spray removes nil
danger ot taking cold. I you think this
sounds severe , I only ahowB you don't know.
A cold sponge after 1 tepid bath Is n terrible -
ble shock. but when yea are just out of avery
very hot bath there Is no shock about I , I
Is delightfully refreshing
Wo have been learning the joy of hot
baths frol the Japanese , but before time
Japanese became eu fashionable Mrs. Lang-
try did mich tQ start actresses on n course
of hot baths , for 10 them she attributed ( and
attributes ) liar success In Ilresorvllg hem'

Such n bath ns this , with plenty of soap
all a bath brush , taken every other lay ,
leans one free to take t cold plunge on
the lay between wIth a good conscience
That Is the greatest safeguard against colds
and Ileumonla In tile world : I the bather
Is very delIcate , the plunge can bo ex-
changed for a Iulcl , 011 sponge , but gen-
