Show Getting Warm in a Cold Bed. Many peopi- have to sleep in cold zooms in winter, and some, not beinr able to warm up readily aftor entering the bed, lie awake a Ion time. To warm up quickly in a cold bed, lie upon the back, with the bedclothes well tucked in about the neck and shoulders, draw up and extend one foot, then the (ither, alternately, drawing draw-ing the foot up is far as possible. Keep this up for a few moments; and if done with vigor, by the time one has Jrawn up each leg and straightened it out, say, 100 timos, one will be in a glow, and will usually feel sleepy, the blood having been drawn away from the brain to the muscles and skin. Feeble patients can do a few strokes, and rest a moment or so, and then begin be-gin again. |
