Health Notes. — Perspiration

Health Notes.
Perspiration.

Some women perspire freely on very slight exercise. This is not a healthy sign as it usually means that they are “run down.” The hands, too, are often unpleasantly clammy and moist.

This state of affairs means that there is something wrong with diet and habits. A change is called for in the nature of an abundance of fresh air, wholesome food and also open air exercise—graduated walking is the best form of this exercise. In addition, it is advisable to drink freely between meals—water, milk, fruit drinks, etc.

A daily hot bath is another important factor in the desire to feel fresh and clean, and to have no qualms about the impression we give people, we must eliminate the trouble of stale perspiration. If the result of the change of diet and habits is not immediately forth-coming, a good tonic is needed for a few weeks.
