Many of the ailments for which ply
sicians prescribe bismuth and q varie-
ty of other lads to digestion" would
be entirely relieved by exercise as
much as possible in the open air. Even
a frail person, one who has fairly
reached the age of decrepitude, should
be encouraged to use the wheel chair,
receive massage and be taken out OF
the bed everyday for while. The
day should be varied as much as pos
sible, and the body exercised SO that
it will be possible for 1t to rest natur-
ally during the long periods Of rest
which the disease, whether acute or
chronic, necessitates. There are GER
tain diseases which are called fatigue
diseases-tremor, writer's cfamp and
local spasm. These are all caused by
the excessive use of special muscles,
and no one so afflicted should fail to
stop for a certain time each day as
long a time as can be spared, and let
the part have the repose which 1t de-
mands. This suggestion is specially
meant for teachers and operators on
the typewriter, and clerks-men and
women-who spend long days at the
desk working over figures.

the detachment happened to be on the

They vary in color, have large heads
and many Of them pronounced mutton

finest Of the breed have a small fur

Of the chest.
