physical labor; but would like to be
more feshy since I weigh just about
100 and am real poor. Any advice will
be very much appreciated. Very
truly, Mrs. E.
Every night just before retiring
drink a large cupful of very hot milk,
not boiled, but heated just to the
boiling point, and sip it slowly with
teaspoon. Eat no meat at the even
ing meal but take plenty Of juicy
ripe fruits. For breakfast, among
other wholesome foods, eat q generous
dish OF stewed prunes or apples.
Drink no tea OF coffee. If a hot drink
is desired. let it be hot milk or
chocolate. Do not drink while food
is in the mouth, but masticate all Of
your food thoroughly. For dessert at
the MONDAY meal, eat rice custard,
rice pudding. or other dishes of rice
with cream and then eat about one
ounce of almond nut meats. The
skins of the meats should be removed
by scalding and the meats should then
be Drowned, buttered and sailed or
Drowned and dipp,d in sweet choco-
late. Drink an abundance of pure wa
ter between meals and breathe plenty
of fresh air both night and day.
The face must be carefully washed
with warm soft. water and soap every
night before retiring and after care
fully drying apply lotion CON-
posed of glycerine and witch hazel,
equal parts; this will overcome the
blackheads if the washing is thorough.
Follow this regime and your complex
ion will not only be perfect, but, il you
don't worry, you will take on flesh and
be as plump and rosy as you desire.
Moorehead.-Dr. David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Kind Sir: "Ringw0rm
Of the scalp is essentially the same
consists in the growth Of micro
scopic vegetable which causes light
Inflammation and irritation Of the
surrounding skin. In consequence of
the presence of the hairs, however,
ringworm of the scalp is a far more
obstinate affection than ringworm on
parts of the body not covered with
thick growth of hair, for these micro
scopic plants grown down into the
little sacs or fOllicles which surround
the roots of the hairs; hence it is far
more difficult to destroy and eradicate
the parasites when they acquire
foothold on the scalp than it is when
they grow upon the surface of the
skin elsewhere"
"Favus" is caused by another vege-
table parasite, a member of the fungus
family of plants, the achorion schoen-
leinii. This parasite grows only on
the hairy parts of the body as a rule,
tho it occasionally appears on the 9TH
er parts of the skin. In this disease
crusts are formed in and around the
hairs; they are often matted together
so as to constitute an enormous scab
over a large part Of the whole of the
scalp. These crusts are of yellowish
color, often somewhat saucer-shaped,
and are pierced in he middle by .
hair. When the crusts are removed
there is observed underneath a reddish
surface from which the skin has been
separated; in bad cases deep ulcers
are found underneath the crusts. When
these masses are removed by treat
ment the skin heals again, but in
many cases the sites of the disease re-
main permanently bald. This results
from the fact that the hair follicles are
entirely destroyed by the growth OF
the parasite. In aggravated cases,
where the disease has been neglected
for months or years, the entire scalp
may be absolutely devoid Of hair
The above is copied from the "Prac-
tical Physician" and gives descrip-
ton of the trouble / have. Have had
it for several years, on my forehead
for about three years. Have not seen
any doctors for it, and the only thing
have used is tincture of iodine
but no cure. Have taken blood medi-
cines, but it is no disease of the blood.
Washing it seems also to do more
harm than good. If you can form an
idea of what my trouble is from these
lines, hope to hear from you. The two
diseases. by the description, are so
much alike, that mentioned both.
Respectfully, J. p.
The description which YOU have CIV
en- is fairly accurate, but the method
of treatment is practically valueless.
The Home Health club treatment of
ringworm is given in Volume II of the
club books. and I am quite certain that
if you apply the treatment described
you will be relieved. have also writ
ten you privately as to further home
treatment.
