    Do NOT I/AY ASIDE THE WARM CLOTHING OE WIN- TER, AS SOON AS EINE MILD WEATHER SEEMS TO ! have begun, but wait until you see that Nature-is taking their winter garments away from the birds and the beasts. Never expose totjrsele to a chill without extra clothing, when you are weary, as well as warm. Never sit in draughts oe cold air without putting on extra clothing. Keep in brisk exercise when you are unablb- to avoid oubj&ents oe chill air, and are at the same time eatigued by exertion, and thinly CLAD. Never remain in damp clothes longer than you can help. Damp clothes chill the surface of the body very rapidly by carrying away its heat as the moisture is turned into steam. Wet stockings and boots, or shoes, are injurious, for the same reason as other kinds of wet clothing. They are not more • dangerous than other kinds of damp garments, but they have to be encountered much more frequently on account of the ground often remaining wet for lono- periods, when there is no great excess of moisture in the air. Wet feet produce harm more frequently than wet clothes, because they are much more common. _ By a careful and constant attendance to the prin- ciples laid down in these Golden Rules, the attacks of manv grave diseases may be avoided, and the ad- vantage which is intended to result from the influence of warm clothes, may be most certainly secured.
