Medical Notes.


Time was when every one went to
the doctor regularly as the spring came
around to be bled as a sort of spring
cleaning. The idea was that the blood
became thick and impure and that Blood
letting was equivalent to draining off
the impurities just as drain pipe would
carry Off waste material from q house
Blood letting has gone out of use. but
the idea that some form of spring clean
ing OF the system is needed is still in
vogue and not without some reason.
During the winter less active exercise
Is taken; there is less outdoor life: more
heating food is eaten and fewer green's
are used, so that the vital movements
become sluggish. The bowels are often
less active and as there is but little If
any perspiration during the colder
weather more work Is thrown upon the
kidneys which are sometimes over
orked as a result and actually poison
Gus principles collect in the system and
cause feeling Of heaviness If nothing
worse. But in all these results the blood
Is primarily only a conVeyor of the
disease bearing material Just as streams
polluted with offensive material may ex-
ercise baneful influence upon those who
drink of them or even battle in the
waters.
The red blood corpuscles have as their
function the transportation of oxygen to
the various organs and tissues of the
body, but under certain conditions these
red blood corpuScleS are diSproportion-
ately less In number than the white
corpuscles. AS result of this deficiency

me, not if wanted money ever so much.
But I can't help saying you managed
the business devilish neatly for a be-
ginner."
1T all came about more or less acci-
dentally. / am, as you know, Christian

kell paused to clear his throat, and
passed his hand across his brow. There
were two Cinnamon who came here some
months ago. One was called Jinfou, the
other Yung-Lo."
81 know Jinfou, the brute'' said Philip,
revengefully, mot the other"
'He is dead, and he died a Christian. "
"Humph! That was queer for China
man"
ut was, as you say, queer" replied
Gaskell, quietly. But Yung-Lo became
half-converted in London that is, he was
much attracted by our faith. A friend
of mine, called Daw, taught him much,
and tried to lead him into the fold.
When Yung-Lo came here he brought a
letter from Daw, and we had many con-
versations together. Then he fell i'll In
a miserable Slum where he was living,
and during the absence of Jinfou in Lon
don he died, but he died protesting our
faith. Before dying he told me a strange
story-the story of the idol Wang-Ho."
''Ah!' Philip settled himself comfort

from oxygen-starvatton and also from
carbonic acid poisoning, one of the func-
tions of the blood being to carry away
or transform this deleterious substance
into living tissue for building and repair.
The brain controls the circulation in a
great degree and a surplus of carbonic
acid gas paralyzes the circulatory cen.
tiers and also acts poisonously upon the
brain, causing headache and a sense of
oppression often temporarily felt after
heavy meal and often increasing in
intensity and duration as the winter
lengthenS. This is one cause of spring
sickness.
Meat forms a much larger proportion
of food during the winter, and according
to many authorities, meat, especially
beef, causes Bright's disease or some
slighter disturbance of the kidneys
Food too, is more concentrated during
the winter months and thus, the bowels
lacking the irritant stimulation of the
needful amount of waste material, be-
come torpid and do not eliminate the
necessary proportion of effete material
Which Is retained longer than is health
full and is absorbed into the blood
Winter, too, is a season of indoor So
c1ab1lity, late hours and supperS, theaterS
and balls; and all these have their effect
upon bodily health, both from the abnor-
NAL environment and the overcrowding
of many into small, overheated and I'M
6er-ventilated rooms. Heavy clothing,
1mpervious to air, further acts ihjuriously
upon the body, and overheated living and
sleeping rooms add their percentage, and
not a small one, to the deleterious influ-
ences bringing about lassitude and weari-
ness which seems greater than we can
lear. Furthermore, there is a bracing
influence in the air of winter which is alb
sent to an extent in the warmer days oc
spring and it is the sudden failure of this
stimulant tonic which is the last straw
in causing spring collapses.
These have been mentioned thus eX-
plictly because a man who avoids the
causes avoids the effects; man who ex-
ercises brisbly during the winter; who IS
much out of doors; who eats enough, but
not too much; who keeps his bowels
oren: who keeps good hours; and observes
other hygienic laws; does not know that
the seasons are changing by any change
In his own bodily or mental feelings; it is

bundle themselves up to the eyes, who

live to eat and who work harder at night
Tor amusement than they do by day for
profit, that feel "all played out" when
spring comes.
Yet the majority of people In the
spring don't feel like getting out of their
own way. They feel stupid and dull; they
can't think nor work; every movement is
an exertton; every duty task; they feel
istless and drowsy; they have no ~appe-
tite; they have no ambition, but just want
to be let alone. Then perhaps some good
friend suggests thoroughwort tea and,
simple as the suggestion Is, the tea is
good
Thoroughwort tea is one Of our grand
mothers remedies; every spring they
stepped a handful of thoroughbred or
boneset, as it is called, in a pint of water
and every member of the family took a
wineglassful of this bitter tea three
times a day, morning, noon and night.
Smetimes little mint was put with 1t
and sometimes it was sweetened to make
1t more palatable, but good molasses was
used for this purpose because that has a
laxative effect and thus adds to the eff
ficacy Of the tonic bitters.
Speaking of molasses there was another
good old-fashioned remedy that our
grandmothers used in the spring to cure
the humoury condition which is so dis
agreeable and annoying; that remedy was
sulphur and molaSSeS and cream of tar
tar 1t is just as good today as it was
then; teaspoonful Of sulphur teaspoon
full of cream Of tartar and tablespoonful

being taken every night or morning as
desired.
Herb teas, being easily homemade
remedies, always have certain fasclna-
ton fer the home doctor, and they have
the advantage that if they do no good

quarts of water with gentle heat for two
hours and then strain off the fluid The
dose is a Wineglassful for adults before
meals.
Root beers are also of some value ow-
ing to their bitter tonic effects and their
aperient action. Liquid malt extracts are
ply concentrated beers or weak porters,
and there is danger Of creating habit
worse than the disease. The dose is
wineglassful, but the person often ex-.
ceedS the dose to his or her temporary
stimulation and final injury. Nothing
can be more inconsistent than the atti-
tude of certain temperance fanatics who
cry out against alcoholic liquors. yet adj
vocate and recommend medicinal bev-
erages which are stronger in alcohol than
some of the prohibited beverages. The
same applies to medlcated wines, .yet.
these are also good in moderation and
discretion.
Perhaps the most cfficacious tonic is
quinine. An ounce of cinehona bark,
more commonly known as Peruvian bark,
may be stepped for two hours in an agate
ware or earthen vessel in pint of water
at a gentle heat. The dose of this is a
wineglassful three times day. A tonic
wine may be made by adding an ounce
of bark to a bottle OF port or sherry
wine, allowing it to soak in it for week.
