SECTION VI.

COLD HANDS AND FEET.

For the rather common complaint of cold hands and feet something morę than a strong heart is nceded ; therc must be plenty of hcalthy blood and a perfect system of “ pipes ” to carry this fluid to the extremities.

Healthy blood means that only flourishing food is eaten and that the digestive apparatus is norma!.

A city that possesses a large rescrvoir into which is forced the purest water by powerful pumps, would derivc little benefit from this supply if the pipes that carried the water were smali, so in the body the extremities will get little benefit frow the blood if the veins and arteries are smali and weak.

There is no medicine that will strengthen these ducts or en large the canals.

Exercise is the onlycure.

It will be readily seen then that in addition to cxercise the reraedy for cold hands and feet depends not only on the amount and kind of Food taken into the body, but also on the condition of the digestive and circulatory apparatus.

(See exercises for Waist, Abdomen, Indigcstion, pages 63, 66, and 82.)
