Wyoming.-Dr. David H. .Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: We read your
weekly lectures and answer to CLUB
Notes, and receive many valuable hints
on health. You say you would like to
have US write and tell you Of anything
we know Of that will help the sick ones.
l will tell you OF a cure found last win
ter for sweating feet. 1t is to drink
three tablespoonfuls of good, strong,
homemade vinegar once a day for a
week or ten days. It the vinegar is too
strong, weaken with water and sugar.
One of our sons has had catarrh for sew
eral years, and has taken a good many
different methods Of treatment, without
satisfactory results. But nothing has
helped him SO much as lnhaling the
fumes of boiling vinegar. One nos
tril was so stopped up that he could
not breathe through it, but the fumes
of the vinegar helped that, so now he
has no trouble with breathing through
that nostril, and we believe it will cure
him entirely of his trouble.
Now I will tell you of cough cure
that l have never known to fail. Take
equal parts of turpentine, kerosene,
olive oil and spirits of camphor. put
in a bottle, shake we'll before using.
When the patient goes to bed, let some
one take some of this liniment in the
hand and rub it over the lungs, across
the chest, and UP and down between
the shoulder blades. 1t is also good for
backache when rubbed across back
where the pain is. I trust that these
home remedies will aid some one who is
in need of them, as know they are
good and tried remedies. Very truly
yours, Mrs. A. G.
l thank you most heartily for your
contribution to Club Notes. The reme-
dies suggested are excellent, and are
also perfectly harmless, and l trust
many will be benefited by their use. Any
such contributions are always thank
fully received, and would like to see
all the readers send in their mite.
