Feeble Circulation.

An old person has feeble circulation in the feet and legs. Nothing contributes more to relieve the difficulty in breathing, and the chronic cough and other troubles about the head and chest, so common among all people, than keeping the feet and legs warm. Mr. S., a bank officer had been sitting in a bank nearly fifty years. He came for some advice about short breath, wheezing, and cough. “Your feet and legs are very cold." “Yes, but how did yon know’” “By these troubles about your throat and lungs. There is congestion—too much blood there. If the legs and feet were warm, if they had their share of the blood, this congestion about the upper parts would cease, and this short breath, wheezing, and cough would be relieved at once.” —Home Science.
