NEW YORK. April 1. -"If II
wore not for tho thin soled stoking
and thin soled shoos worn by womon,
tho doctors would probably bo bank
rupt." So Dr. Mnry MaoMlllun said
to 300 or more lay and medical men
and women yesterday afternoon nt
tho lecture under tho Joint auspices
of tho X. Y. County Medical society
and hygienic committee of tho City
Federation of Women's clubs, at the
Acadamy of Medicine, No. 17 West
43d street.
Tho subject of tho lecture was tho
"Cause and Prevention of Common

besides Dr. MacMIUan, Dr. Abraham

leal Fraternity; Dr. Emily Lewi, Dr,
William Kelly Simpson and Dr. Alex-
andor Lambert, dwelt with emphasis

"Don't sit In a drafty car on the
way home from a hard day's work.
"Don't sleep In hot or Improperly

"Don't exposo yourself to suddon
changes of toinporaturo.
"Don't change from heavy to light
underclothing with the fit at touch of
spring; wait until tho warm weather
begins in earnest."
"Cold water for bathing Is ono of
tho greatest foco of colds," said Dr.
Jacobl. And I chould ndvlso all
mothers to get Into tho habit of treat
ing their growing children with a
warm salt water douche to clear the
nose."
Dr. Emily Lewi advised against
