Any conspicuous rise in the atmos. phene temperature al leads to a crop of hot weather ailments. Medical men resignedly accept an increased number of patients, while everyone blames the weather for such heat sufferings, but hardly Janyone thinks of blaming the suf-forers for not combating the weather with wise weapons.

People should consult their own medical man before rushing to possibly unwise action. For instance, fruit and fresh vegetables, eggs, white fish and milk make the best hot summer dietary in a general way, but there are many men and women whose constitutions demand a regular daily supply of red meat, and most doctors have a number of summer patients whose ailments are mainly resultant from their having adopted an ideal hot weather food scheme"—without regard to their individual natur Individuality, too, must be studied with clothes. Thin and filmy summer garments are all very well, but there are some folk who need to wear thin wool or silk next to their skin and long-sleeved underwear all the year round. This applies particularly to men and women suffering from: nerve complaints.
