BATHING THE FEET.

The frequent bathing of the feet is of far more importance to the general health of the body than many suppose. The skin is nowhere more active in throwing off the impurities of the system than at the feet. By the usual method of dressing the feet, the perspiration is kept in close contact with those organs, and is largely absorbed again into the system. By this means a large amount of poisonous matter is thrown again into the general circulation, to do its evil work upon the more delicate organs. Keeping the feet warm and dry is very necessary in regaining, or even retaining, the general health of the body. One cannot long go with cold, damp feet without suffering in some way or other as the result.
