WOMEN'S TROUBLES.

A. u. desires to retard the grayness In
her golden hair and put the scalp In
healthy condition. Also wants some
thing to strengthen the gums and Keep
them from shrinking from the teeth
and something to sweeten the breath.
Ans.-The early grayness proceeds
from the same cause which looSens the
gums and corrodes the digestive organs:
impaired nutrition. Keeping the hair
very clean with yolk Of egg shampoo, or
the fine comb, according to the case,
and brushing it good deal gently will
stimulate the scalp. But something
is wrong, and very wrong, with digeS-
ton. Small doses of epson salts,
small spoonful half an hour before each
meal, is an effective sweetner OF the
breath, as appears by its medical name,
sulphate OF magnesia, After meals
brush the gums with warm water and
half a teaspoonful Of tincture Of myrrh,
having quarter of boraI dissolved In
four ounces of the tincture. After rims
ing the mouth we'll with this, pour 8
few drops into fresh water and drink it.
Myrrh alone is purifier OF disordered
stamach. But the trouble is with the
bread in most OF these cases OF defective
nutrition. Americans are celebrated for
having the worst bread in the world,
hence grey hair, unpleasant breath,
loosened teeth and other unloyely con-
ditions.
Becky would like something TO turn
her gray hair dark brown, its natural
color. 1t is also very oily, something
Nth hafr
Ans.-There IS no possibility OF re-
storing gray hair TO its original color
unless by dyeing it. AS all the re-
searches of modern science have not
discovered any way of restoring the
color OF the hair without dyeing II,
trust my readers will pardon me for
preferring not TO delude them on the
subject.
For oily hair nothing is more con-
yenient than this wash: Dissolve ia
blespoonful (half an ounce Of powered
camphor in as little alcohol as will re-
duce IL, add spoonful OF glycerine and
one spoonful OF powdered borax, and
pour on quart OF soft boiling water.
Let all simmer q moment, cool and bot
tie as soon as possible. Dampen the
hair with this daily before dressing IL,
parting the hair many times and wet
ting tho scalp with tho lotion on soft
sponge. This cleanses and strengthens
the hair and Is said to prevent loss OF
color. Comb the locks well with large
comb often, without irritating the scalp
too much, and wipe the hair daily with
flannel to remove dust and oiliness.
Il. NJ: Are there corsets that will not
wrinkle around the hips, or Is there
anything that will prevent their doing
so? / always wear DR.. IS aodom-
inal corsets and would like to know OF
o better kind.
Ans.-A very short corset, known as
the Bernhard, the Spanish or riding
corset, gives better figure to stout
persons and cannot wrinkle, as 1t hard
iy reaches below the waist. Some
women cut out large cure from the
corset over the hips and rebtnd II. Or
they slice the hip piece to the waistline
and insert gore Of linen. A stout wo-
man cannot do better than TO have her
corsets made for her, Of strong fine
French round thread linen, which is
strong and light, having them cut to
the waist only and reducing the size
below 1t with linen bandage laced or
pinned. The pressure alone will reduce
size. The thick, heating bandages sold
as obesity belts favor deposition OF flesh
rather than its loss.
