Tho cnm mon way of protecting the throat is to bundle and wrap it up closely, thus ovefteatipp a11 rendering it ten der and moie liable to colds ami in flatniiton than before. This practi6e is all wrong, and results in antich evil. Especially is this the casoe with Chil dren, and whean in !aadi-ioa to the muin.ng of tie throat the extr:emiti< are insuiflioientlY clad, as i.- often ilo 0,as, tile bot pos.sible ndiion z are presented for the prtod-ticn i: af ae throats, coughs, Crolp, and all sorts of throat and lung avaet ions. It is wronag to excIioil col air from the neck. and if it i, overheated a por. tion of the time, when it i, expo'ed soie form of disarrangenient of the throat will be apt to occur. The rult) in regard to dlothing the neck should be to keep it as coel as confirt will tllow. In doing so you will suffer mIuch less from throat ainIaents than if you are always fearful of having a lit tio cold air come in contact. with ld neck. Any one wh'lto la.is been accus tomed to have his throat iufiled should b. careful to loave off gradl ly, and iot all at once.-/ era/d of Health.
