"It will be easily seen, by these figures, how a quiet or tranquil life
affects longevity. The phlegmatic man will live longer, all other things
being equal, than the sanguine, nervous individual. Marriage is favorable
to longevity, and it has also been ascertained that women live longer than
men." {368}
[Illustration: HOT WATER THROAT BAG. HOT WATER BAG.]
HOW TO APPLY AND USE HOT WATER IN ALL DISEASES.
1. THE HOT WATER THROAT BAG. The hot water throat bag is made from fine
white rubber fastened to the head by a rubber band (see illustration), and
is an unfailing remedy for catarrh, hay fever, cold, toothache, headache,
earache, neuralgia, etc.
2. THE HOT WATER BOTTLE. No well regulated house should be without a hot
water bottle. It is excellent in the application of hot water for
inflammations, colic, headache, congestion, cold feet, rheumatism, sprains,
etc., etc. It is an excellent warming pan and an excellent feet and hand
warmer when riding. These hot water bags in any variety can be purchased at
any drug store.
3. Boiling water may be used in the bags and the heat will be retained many
hours. They are soft and pliable and pleasant to the touch, and can be
adjusted to any part of the body.
4. Hot water is good for constipation, torpid liver, and relieves colic and
flatulence, and is of special value.
5. _Caution_. When hot water bags or any hot fomentation {369} is removed,
replace dry flannel and bathe parts in tepid water and rub till dry.
