. India rubber world. (iiR-miiunr chnical thermometer in the )lar\ar<l casishould be a valuable aid in the sick room. [The Randall-FaichncyCo., llosfon.] NO MORE EXCUSE FOR GETTING COLD FEET. Here is a benefactor who has destroyed the gr^at enemy ofmankind—cold feet. He is Levet A. Long, of Dayton, here is the description of his cold feet annihilator. It is an insole, made of three layers of material. The ac-companying illustration shows a top view of the insole with apart of the two upper layers cut away so as to give an idea ofthe three. The top layer, Xo. 1 in the figure, is made of some. pervious material, either wool or cotton. The bottom layer,.\o. 3 in the figure, is of some impervious material, preferablyrubber. But the middle layer. No. 2 in the cut, is the one thatreally does the work, which perhaps may best be described byquoting from the patent specifications: The upper layer, 1,comes in contact with the sole of the foot. To create a sensationof warmth a suitable chemical irritating medium is layer is formed of Cayenne pepper or capsicum, and isinterposed between the upper and lower layers 1 and 3. Thecapsicum is preferably mixed with wool and united by any suit-able form of binder, such as an antiseptic the insole is in use, the moisture from the feetis sufficient to dissolve a portion of the active principleof the chemical irritant which comes in contact withthe sole of the foot when the fabric 1 becomes moist-ened. The effect of the capsicum will be to draw theblood of the body to the feet, thereby producing asensation of warmth.
