CLUB NOTES.

Hartville. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: l wish to
consult you regarding my little
boy, aged six. When he was two
years old he was stricken with
paralysis. It came on all at once. He
seemed cross all day and at night
staggered when he walked. The next
morning he could not walk at all and
for over year he did not walk, but
crawled around. At first when he
sat in his chair he would twist his
head and neck as though his back hurt
him. After he had been this way
about a year he began to walk again
a little at time. He now gets around
quite we'll, but one leg is somewhat
shorter than the other which seems to
be all right. He cannot move the toes
of the one foot but very little. and If
allowed to go barefoot he walks on
the outside of his foot.
One doctor told me that 1t was
caused by an adherent prepuce. An
other doctor said it was a dislocation
in his spine. Our family doctor,
laughed at both these ideas and said
that no doctor could tell what caused
1t. What is your opinion: Can it be
entirely cured? Our doctor says the
only thing to do is to let him exercise
and nature do the rest. Respectfully,
p. M.
I would refer you to the lecture
which was recently published on the
subject of "Infantile Paralysis" and
would advise you to read it carefully
and adopt the suggestions therein
given. If treated promptly by the
method described a cure can nearly
always be effected.
The doctor who laughed at the sug-
gestions made by the other doctors,
was himself the one who should be
laughed at, as either one or both OF
the conditions could cause the dis
ease and q careful examination ought
to disclose the cause.
Sterling.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Sir: I am q reader
of the Home Health club and must
say that I like your instructions very
much. and I believe your advice vi.
he worth much to ME. have for
years been troubled with bad COM
plexicn and with pimples and black
heads on my face. and would be so
thankful to you for . remedy. Also
will you please give me instructions

HELPING OTHERS.

In Club Notes recently asked that
anyone who knew of good home
remedy for any of the ills of life,
should tell me of it so that might
tell all of the readers. Some who may
be grateful to you for many years for
the kindly help which you have given.
Not long ago there was meeting
here at the headquarters of the club
of some of the more earnest and
thoughtful members, and some Of the
scribed to the special report of the
meeting expressed the belief that the
Home Health club has been and is
now one of the most powerful factors
for good that has appeared for many
years. Time, labor and expense have
not been spared to make the club
work the most helpful and practical
possible, and while you and l may
never know who nor how many suf-
fering ones we may help, yet we have
the consciousness of having given to
suffering ones the means which have
been tried and tested, of relieving
pain.
For seven years this work has
steadily grown until to-day many
thousands are constantly helping it
along by telling to others what it has
done for them. The Home Health
club seems to have the faculty Of in
spring an enthusiasm for health and
right living which is resistless. l do
not claim to have discovered all OF
the secrets of perpetual youth, but l
have been able to not only grow young
er, stronger and healthier myself, but
to help others do the same thing.
Good health enables one to succeed be-
cause there will be enthusiasm to
back up the energy and fresh rich
blood to the brain which supplies the
ideas, master at the helm Of strong
craft sailing steadily forward over the
sea of life, ready at all times to help
the struggling ones who have been
shipwrecked.
have always said that enthusiasm
was the glow of the soul, the lever
which lifts men out of the rut OF
cynicism, pessimism, gossip and doubt
to a higher level than the common
man and give him a power for achiev-
ing desired results, that is almost
God-like in its potency. Given a
sound mind in a sound body any legit-
innate object within the range Of hui
man abilities is possible, and the man
who is determined to have q sound
mind in a sound body can have It.
The Home Health club will help
any and all, and in many cases during
the past years has turned despair into
10y and dependency into brightness
and happiness. Life in its fullness,
with gladness and happy faces, hope
for future and helpfulness to others is
the portion Of the Home Health club
members. The watchword of the club
has always been: Pass 1t On Tou
have been helped. Tell it to others,
get them to subscribe for this paper
and they will then come into the circle
of Home Health club influence and
may at any time receive help also.
Write to me of your ills and I will
try to help you. Write to me of what
has helped you and will tell 1t to
many thousands.

CHURCH FLOOR cOLLAPsEs.
Funeral Services Are Attended by a
Terrible Tragedy.

New York March Eleven persons
were killed and upward of fifty in

collapse of the flooring OF the Fleet
Street African Methodist Episcopal
church in Brooklyn last night. OF
those killed eight were women, two
men and u child.
The building was an ancient, ram
shackle, frame structure erected
sixty years ago i'll the heart Of the
colored section of Brooklyn in Fleet
street, near Myrtle enu Arrange
mients had been made yesterday to
hold funeral services ove Sidney L..
Painter, one of the Oldest members OF
the church, and the auditorium, which
is on the second floor of the building,
was crowded with an audience of up
ward of 800 persons, OF whom the ma
jOrity were women.
Crushed in the Wreckage.
The congregation was waiting in
silence for the arrival of the body and
Pastor Jacobs was standing at the
altar waiting the summons to meet
the funeral procession at the door,
when a splintering of timbers was
heard and in an instant half the audi
forum nearest the door collapsed,
carrying down more than a hundred
persons who we're crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring and pews.
A great volume of dust for a few
moments hid from view the victims.
The remainder Of the audience, find
ing themselves cut off from the door
and expecting every instant that the
rest of the flooring would collapse UNI
der them, fought madly to reach the
windows, and in some instances they
leaped from them and sustained seri-
Gus injuries.
On the arrival of the police and
fremen the work of rescue began.
Out of the wreck ten bodies were
recovered and taken to a station
house and about thirty were removed
to the Brooklyn hospital.
Church Was Condemned.
Sidney l.. Painter, at whose funeral
the congregation had gathered. was
the organist of the church. About $50
seats in the front of the church had
been reserved for the mourners, who
were to accompany the body. This
led to the massing of the congregation
in one place and a consequent IN
c%entration of weight on the rotten
floor beams, which is believed to have
been the immediate IL of the o
lapse.
After examining the bodies Coroner
Flaherty pronounced death in nearly
every case to have resulted from suf-
location, caused by the victims being
piled on top of each other in a mass
several feet deep. The coroner said
that the church was condemned as
unsafe several years ago and that he
intended to prosecute a thorough in.
quiry to fix the responsibility for the
disaster.
According to Pastor Jacobs money
had been raised for a new church, the
erection of which was soon to have
been begun.
