At Plattsburg, Miss Anthony was a guest at Judge Watson's.

Before leaving Rochester she had had a pair of high boots made to protect her from the deep snows, which were so much heavier than she was accustomed to that they almost ruined her feet.
She was at that time an ardent convert to the "water cure" theories and, after suffering tortures from one foot especially, she came home from the afternoon meeting, put it under the "penstock" in the kitchen and let the cold water run over it till it was perfectly numb, then Crapped it up in flannels.

That evening it did not hurt her a particle, and concluding that what was good for one foot must be good for two, she put both under the "penstock" till they were almost congealed.

In the morning she scarcely could get out of bed, all the pain having settled in her back, but in spite of protests from the family she resumed her journey.

All the way to Malone, she had to hold fast to the seat in front of her to relieve as much as possible the motion of the cars.
