Health and Medical Hints from 1901

• Never begin the journey until the breakfast has been eaten.
  

• Never omit regular bathing, for unless the skin is in active condition, the cold will close the pores and favor congestion and other diseases.
  

• A headache can be prevented if you pay attention to diet. Try to eat only vegetables and fruits that are easy of digestion. Forego meat, cheese, pastry, beer, in fact, neither eat nor drink anything which is stimulating in character and at all likely to tax the digestive organs.

• Most persons suffering from a cold of the chest can be greatly relieved by eating boiled or roasted onions. They will be found to be a most excellent remedy for a cough, and the clogging of the bronchial tubes, which is usually the cause of the cough. If they were eaten freely at the outset of a cold, they will break up what promised from the severity of the attack to have been a severe one.
  

• Cure for corns – soak a piece of bread in strong vinegar; apply to the corn as a poultice. The effect its, the corn is softened so that it can be easily removed.
