Dress Warmly in Cold Weather
Almost all physicians agree concerning the necessity for dressing warmly in winter, and regard the popular theory of getting hardened by the cold as fruitful of danger. Woolen undergarments, or very thick silk, say they, should be worn by everybody. Thick clothing is not more needed in January, in clear, cold weather, than in the damp chilliness of November. During early spring and late fall the moist air is a good conductor of heat, and the body loses warmth readily and becomes chilled. If the day be warm the change should be made only in the outside garments. Europeans dress more warmly than we, and have less catarrh. One of their ablest physicians once said: "Flannels should not be put off until midsummer's day, and should be put on—the day after."—Sel.
