gestions will prove of value, and that
your interest in the Home Health Club

Dear DOctor-When bad breath and
a poor complexion indicate deranged
stomach, what is the best remedy? Is
powdered charcoal good stomach
purifier? If so, how often and in what
quantities should it be taken? Does
it make any difference what kind of
wood is used to produce it? S. j. r.
Charcoal tablets made from willow
are the best and are an excellent thing
for such complaint. One tablet after
each meal Is sufficient. The cause OF
the difficulty, however, must be re-
moved or cure will not result. The
bad breath may come entirely from
catarrh or from bad teeth. Write
again, giving a more detailed descrip-
ton of your case, and will be able to
advise you more fully as to the cause OF
your trouble.

Dear Doctor-I am an interested
reader of your Home Health Club lee
lures and notice that we are entitled
to write to you for advice. l wish to
become about twenty-five or thirty
pounds heavier than 1 now am. / am
nineteen years old, FIVE feet seven
inches high and weigh about 100
pounds. l live in the country and can
eat almost any kind of food with the
exception of onions. Sometimes l
have very severe pains in my back.
My blood seems to be too thin and l
have poor circulation. My COM
plexion is very poor and am, as rule,
quite pale. If you will give me some
advice 1 will be very thankful. Re-
spectfully, j. u.
I think you are wise to wish to put
on more flesh, because according to
your figures you are abnormally thin,
while if you were to gain normal
weight your blood would be enriched,
and you would not be so liable to pains
and aches as you now are. How to
put on the needed flesh is described
in the cloth-bound book of lectures, I'M
der the subject Of Obesity and Lean
ness. The many other lectures which
this book contains will be Of value to
you in correcting your habits of living,
and enabling you to rid yourself OF
aches and pains. If after applying the
treatment outlined in the book for
leanness, the pain in your back does
not disappear altogether, write me
again of your success, and 1 may be
able to help you further. have sent
you circulars regarding the Home
Health Club and its books. You should /
also follow the Home Health Club
method in regard to diet. To increase
flesh you should eat as q dessert once
daily after your principal meal about
one ounce of almond nut meats, the
skin being removed from the meats,
and If they are dipped in chocolate, it
will be better. You should also eat
about one ounce Of fresh layer raisins
and afterwards drink an abundance OF
water.
