DIR. David II. Reeder, Lnporte, Ind,
Dear Doctor - You ask those that
have been helped by the Home Health
Club suggestions to pass 1t On" and
! want to tell what apples did for me.
l was a great sufferer from constipa-
ton and piles. l ate from one to three
apples every night, generally one was
enough, and was not troubled with
constipation or piles all winter. SO l
know by experience that they are very
beneficial. used to laugh Mt father
when he wanted me to eat them at
night. l now tell all of my friends to
eat them, but chew them well and not
swallow them in chunks. l trust that
others will try this as 1t certainly is
not at all a dlsagreeable method. Sin
cerely, MISS G.
l would suggest that all who have
the opportunity to use the above
method to do so, as it is very whole
some one and certainly can cause no
harmful results. / would be pleased
to receive other contributions along
the same line from members of the
club. Remember that pass 1t On
is one Of our notices.

DR.. David II. Reeder, LapOrte, Ind:
Dear Doctor-I notice in our paper
that you will answer questions regard
ing health. Although l have eaten
only what / thought would agree with
me for more than year l find that my
stomach seems to continually grow
worse. After eating my stomach be-
comes quite large and seems to be
filed with gas. l have not eaten Da-
con- ham, pickles, pepper, vinegar,
spices, etc, for a year, nor nave l
drunk coffee for two years. l work
hard out of doors and never drink any
thing but water and milk. Sometimes
an odor seems to come from my body
Just after eating, and 1t is so disagree
able that one hates to go TO entertain
ments, etc. l take three or four baths
week, but it seems to do but little
good. Such condition makes one
very nervous at times. Perhaps l eat
too much or too hurriedly. Sometimes
never eat any supper and often miss
breakfast. For breakfast to-day ate
some crackers and stewed prunes, for
dinner, roast beef, potatoes, four slices
bread and a glass of milk; for supper
handful of uncooked prunes and some
crackers.
What shall one do-what occupation
is the best for one so affected? If you
will kindly give me some advice l will
be very grateful and will closely fol
low your method Of treatment. Re
spectfully, j. M. o.
It is not so much what you eat in this
case, as your selection of food is good
but am inclined to think that the ma
lor portion of your trouble Is caused
by the way in which you eat. For one
week begin each meal with n piece OF
very hard dry toast or zweibach ana
chew it. each particle of it, until it be-
comes like liquid in the mouth. Take
absolutely no liquids while eating, but
mastlcate every particle of your food
as long as there is anything left to
chew. Drink an abundance of water
between meals, and you can soon eat
three meals daily and feel well.
Outdoor employment is best. If your
employment is sedentary practice the
exercises "Ten Minutes For Health,
as described in Volume l Of the Home
Health Club Books.
