Proper Care of the Feet

A frequent footbath is not only soothing and refreshing but Is beneficial to the health of the feet and that of the entire system. The foot is an excretory center and by keeping the pores clear and free the waste matter of the system Is removed. A good footbath for nightly use is composed of water as hot as it can be borne In which a little powdered boric acid has been dissolved. Let the feet soak for five minutes, wash them off in cooler water and finish with a good brisk rubbing of cold cream.
