WiScOnSin.-Dr. David H. Reeder.
Laporte, Indiana-Dear Doctor: Will
you be so kind as to answer me per-
tanning to the following: 1 have a
little girl, IL years old, who is very
much troubled with tonsilitis-sore
throat. The doctor says that the only
cure is to cut the tonsils out. The
child has been troubled this way since
last fall. Will you please tell me if
there is any other method of treat
ment for her?-Mrs. H. w.
object to the surgical treatment of
enlarged tonsils about as vigorously
as the average mother does. have
seen great deal of that kind of work
and have also seen such cases treated
without surgery, and the result was

and found them the natural and safe
home remedies for all such troubles

those that have been helped by the

apples did for me. l was a great suf-
ferer from constipation and piles l
ate from one to three apples every
night. generally one, which was
enough, and / was not troubled with
constipation or piles all winter So 1
know by experience that they are very
beneficial. l used to laugh at my faith
er when he wanted me to eat them at
night. I now tell all of my friends to
eat them, but be sure to chew them
well, and not swallow them in chunks.
1 trust that others will try this. as it
certainly is not at all a disagreeable
method. Respectfully.

l would suggest that all who have
the opportunity to use the above
method do so. as it is a very whole
some one and certainly can cause no
harmful results. l would be pleased
to receive other contributions along
the same line, from members of the
club. "Pass it on

this case. as your selection of food is
good, but / am inclined to think that
the major portion of your trouble is
caused by the way you eat. For one
week begin each meal with piece of
very hard dry toast or zweibach and
chew it, each particle Of it, until it be-
comes like liquid in the mouth. Take
absolutely no liquids while eating. but
masticate 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 ca.
three meals daily and feel WELL.
