think that tile exercises described in the
Home Health Club Book of Lectures for
the home cure of catarrh would be very
beneficial. Kali. muir. taken in proper
form for several weeks while taking
the Home Health club exercises, would,
believe, complete the cure.
Montana.-Dr. David II. Reeder, La
porte, Ind. Dear Sir: l have read
your lectures in this paper ever since
you began writing them. l come to you
for advice on something do not under

cannot read or study. usually sleep
about six hours when lie awake un-
til time to get up. Sometimes sleep
seven or eight hours, but am just as
sleepy the next evening. My habits ara
regular, health is fine, and this seems
to be my only trouble. It is of several
years standing and seems to run in
the family, as l remember my mother
for years nodding over her knitting
or reading in the evenings. Several of
the children after they passed 80 are the
same way. A towel wrung out of cold
water and wrapped around my head will
not keep me awake. am 80 years old.
Please send me a list of the books you
have written with prices.
Thanking you for anything you may
suggest, remain yours very truly. M. E.
I should judge from the description
that your trouble arises from indiges-
ton, and think it would be wise plan
for you to carefully and thoroughly reg
ulate your diet, making a practice of
masticating all of your food very thor
oughly. and drink nothing while eat
ing, but drink large quantities of water
between meals. You should also eat
very light suppers; the heartiest meal
should be at midday. and your supper
should be largely fruit and cereals. Do
not drink any milk, tea or coffee. Rest
for perhaps half an hour after eating
the evening meal, after which you
should take some light exercise; think
you can sit down and read with comfort.
II you desire it, you could take cup of
hot milk before retiring; it should b.
slipped slowly, however, and taken very
hot, but not boiled. This will have
tendency to make you sleep all night.
/ am sending literature describing all
of the Home Health club books and lec-
lures.
Illinois.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind. Dear Doctor: We have
been readers of the Home Health club
department for some time, but are not
members of the club. Would like infor-
nation and particulars as to joining the
club, also how to obtain the books.
Would also like to know what you think
OF the condition of my husband. He is a
farmer and for three years has been
troubled with his arms paining him at
night when he uses them more than
usual. After picking corn for couple
of days, for instance. he cannot sleep
nights-his arms ache so-and in the
morning his hands are so swollen that
he cannot close them at all, in fact, he IL
unable to do his milking His arms
and hands ache and prickle just as q
limb does when we speak of it as being
asleep. He has doctored considerably,
but gets very little relief. am sure the
pain is severe, for he always gets very
thin and all worn out when husking
corn. He can get little sleep by let.
ting his arms hang over the edge of the
bed, which gives him little relief.
They do not bother him at al. during
the day and after couple of h)urs in
the morning the swelling goes OF of his
hands. Do you think it is caused by
poor circulation?
Any advice will be gratefully re-
ceived. Sincerely yours, E. S.
In regard to the condition Of your
husband, If you will follow the Home
Health club plan as described in the
cloth-bound Book of Lectures, Of plac-
ing a thorough hot fermentation to
his spine, covering that portion from the
tip of the shoulders down about to the
middle of the back, at night. for about
three-quarters of hour, continuing it.
for two or three nights, think large
portion of the symptoms of the trouble
in his arms will be overcome. You
should observe very carefully the meth
DDS Of instructions given in the book Of
lectures. In addition to the method
above referred to, the following should
be carried out: Rub the back thorough
ly with warm vinegar. good and strong,
then rub it with warm olive oil, after
which apply the fermentation, again rub
bling thoroughly with the olive oil after
The trouble is in the cir
culation and this will benefit him gen.
orally. While he is lying upon his back |
upon the fermentation, you would do
we'll to thoroughly massage the arms,
using the olive oil and rubbing the flesh
in all directions thoroughly and deeply.
The fact that his arms and hands swell
during the night indicate that there |
may be some kidney trouble; therefore
| would suggest the use of good herb
remedy, like compound genetian strip.
This good oldfashioned herbremedy will
not only benefit the kidneys. but also i'm
