HEALTH NOTES.

Are Well Those Who ktb a good complexion depends largely on the proper circulation of good blood' throughout the body. Good blood depends upon the assimilation of digested food of the right quality. Anything which Interferes with the proper circulation of the blood t«nda to make the complexion poor; for example, tight lacing, tight shoes, tight neckbands and tight waistbands. Many cases of red nose are due to some form of pressure. Red hands, too, are often due to some impediment in the circulation of the blood; for example, tight gloves often produce and coarseness of the hands. In c -rly youth redness of the hands is as vfWu as not due to impeded circulation and to their exposure to cold winds after they have been washed. When redness of the hands proceeds from a chapped skim—a very frequent source of trouble—the remedy is to dry the hands very thoroughly and to strengthen and soften the cuticle by means of glycerine rubbed on while the hands are moist, and also of putting on and wearing loose kid gloves at night. Glycerine is a safer application than vaseline, because vaseline increases the growth of hair on the face and hands. A simple but effective remedy to remove the swelling and inflammation of a sprain which causes great pain consists In three drops of turpentine and the yolk of an egg, beaten together very thoroughly. Rub the sprained part every morning and night with this.
