no possible harm. However, IN your
case, it Is wise to build up the general
system and increase the activity Of the
organs of elimination by the use Of the
good old-fashioned herb remedies. In
your case, the use Of the compound gem
tian strip would be best. The formula
for 1t has been given number of times
In these columns, so presume you are
familiar with it. 1t is especially good
for one of your age, because It will in-
crease the activity of the kidneys. and In
that way reduce the swelling in the
feet and ankles. 1t is wise to drink an
abundance of water between the meals,
but not while eating. The fact that
you have access only to hard water 10
probably the cause of your rheuma-
tism- If you could have this water
slightly heated, and then filtered
through sand and charcoal filter, 1t
would be much better, because it takes
out great deal of the lime. A better
way would be to have it distilled with
a distilling apparatus which you can
easily procure, and better still, drink
fresh buttermilk instead of water. I
trust you will be benefited by my sug.
gestions.

this paper and am especially interested
In the health items which you contrib

ing. / am woman 40 years of age, and
have very good health, but the fact that
| snore annoys me terribly. l notice
II ! fall asleep lying on my side, my
breathing is all right. but whenever I
sleep lying on my back am sure to
snore. Hoping you may be able to cure
me OF this very annoying habit, re-
main, respectfully, X. 2.
can tell you how to make little de-
vice for preventing the habit of snoring,
which is quite effective.
Make little knit cap something like
the shape of the heel of sock, and fas-
ten 1t under the chin and up over the
head with an elastic band, so as to keep
the mouth closed while sleeping. This is
the whole secret, for when the mouth il
closed snoring does not occur.
Maine.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: l was advis-
ed to use ten drops of Fowler's Solution
in q glassful of water during the day,
taking only sip at time. It helped
me very much, and ! felt no Ill effects:
] advised friend to do so, as knew
Of another person that had been helped:
but the druggist said he would not dare
give so much. find she is In a delicate
condition, and l hasten to ask you Il
you think it safe. Very truly yours
Record No. 1859.
l do not approve of administering
Fowler's Solution Of Arsenic under any
circumstances. 1t is true, there il
many case in which 1t acts the same
as 1t did yours, but the after effects are
sometimes worse than the original dis
ease. There are many other methods
which will bring about the same result
without danger. Especially would adj
wise against the use of it in the case OF |
your friend at the present time. /
would suggest that she read the lecture |
on Motherhood" which was recently
published, as 1t will probably prove val
liable to her.
