To Frerent Frozen Feet. In cold weather never wear a woolen stocking inside a thin tight shoe. To do is to invite frozen feet, says The Ladie$' J f ante Journal. The wool grows damp and clammy with insen sible perspiration, the shoe pinches the bloodvessels into sluggish torpor. Be twixt them you have a frozen foot al most before you know it. Much bet ter put a thin silk, lislethread or cotton stocking next to the foot, and draw the woolen one on outside the shoe. With arctics over the stockings, you can defy Jack Frost, if you are shod like Cin derella herself. WITHOUT KNIFE OK HUE. Mrs. S. E.

My wife refused to have it cut or burned, but at the same time it con tinued to grow worse. After a time she commenced taking S. S. S., which effected an entire cure. She used a Half dozen small sized bottles.
