Weather and Health by Royal Scopeland
Poor circulation causes chilblains usually on extremities with inflammation and possible eruptions. Avoid heating directly from cold to a fire. cold hands or feet should be sponged with cold water. Wear loose shoes and protective stockings, skip tight garters, and use iodine in collodion on sores. Weather changes affect health. summer heat harms some, while others suffer in winter. Diet matters. in cold weather rely on fats and starches, breakfast with cream and sugar, and cocoa instead of tea. Daily salt water sponge and rough towel friction boost circulation. Exercise and outdoor walks are beneficial. A note on social quips and a government ad about warming tips ends the piece.
