How to Avoid Colds.

A woman who for years suffered from violent colds, which several times threatened to end fatally, claims to have attained immunity, by the use of pure cold water as a medicine and an ordinary horse brush, for currying, as a morning and evening exercise. Owing to a severe nervous breakdown, she was obliged to consult a New York physician, famous for his original and simple methods of treatment. After laying down the law on the subject of diet and fresh air, he said: “You Will also go to some big department store and purchase, for 35 cents, a horse brush, with which you will give your whole body a thorough rubbing each morning, liefore you bathe. As soon as you arise you will fill a qurtrt pitcher with drinking water, and sip It slowly while dressing. At night, do the satnft thing over again, omitting of couise, the bath.”—Washington Htar.
