Reeder, La Porte, Ind. Dear Sir: AL
low me to acknowledge my interest II
the Home Health club, for which
especially like this paper. Seeing you
many recommendations for relief O
j others has led me to write you fol
information. Sometimes l think m!
kidneys cause the sickening pain il
my back and again l attribute it tt
/ constipation. Lying fiat on my bact
/ now fails to relieve and am not much
rested in the morning. shall be very
i grateful for any suggestion leading
toward relief. When working e
! overhead work. with both hands VI
and head thrown back, such as paper
hanging, l get a Knockout pain al
/ base of neck between the shoulders
/ which takes some time to overcome
/ l should like to add my mite to the
! simple cures given in club notes
/ Arlstol "a powder resembling pow.
dered resin), sparingly rubbed on
cured when the doctor failed, a case
of ivy poisoning. Yours truly, S. F.
The good old-fashioned herb remedy
which our grandmother used to make
and called compound genital syrup
would be about the best general rem
edy for your kidneys, stomach and the
constipation that l could recommend.
The formula for making it has been
SO frequently given that it is unneces-
sary to repeat it. For the pain in the
back of the neck l would suggest Os-
teopathy. Your cure for ivy poisoning
is new but safe one. Aristol is a
common remedy used by all physicians
and is not at all expensive. Any drug
gist can supply it.
Porte, Ind. Dear Doctor: l have for
long time wanted to write to you
and thank you for the book of lectures
received some time ago. l also re-
ceived the volume two all right last
winter, and procured the herbs which
you suggested Had previously Sc
cured volume one. l was very weak
when l commenced the Home Health
club system. first noticed my
strength coming back slowly and
was a great deal stronger last summer
and was able to do my work and have
kept pretty well this winter, so far.
thanks to you. AS / have not seen
in any of your lectures advice in re-
gard to diet for expectant mothers,
wish you would please give some OF
your future lectures on that subject.
There are so many women who think
they are compelled to eat so much
during that interesting period, regard
less of what it is. Few of them know
that wheaton bread cakes or pastr:
is very bad and should be eaten very
sparing. as it is too ossifying, ard
makes labor very painful. More fruit
should be eaten although too much If
it might be harmful. Your formula
for the Mothers Cordial" is very
good. Squawvine alone, made like tea,
and half cupful taken morning and
night is also very beneficial. l am
sorry to take up so much of your
time to- read this, but we all like to
help a little and you have given your
life to help others, for which you will
receive much blessing. l hope you will
give this important matter in one Of
your lectures before long. Wishing
you success and long life, remain
very truly yours, Mrs. H. ].
Letters like the above give me grea.
satisfaction. 1t has been truly said
that the work of reformer is seldom
profitable, but that must have beer
said by some one who thought that
money was the only kind of profit |
worth working for, when, as a matte.
of fact, the only ambition in life |
worth striving for is to be of service
to others. A certain amount Of money |
is necessary in these days, but 1t Is |
certain that those who pile up vast |
wealth and die hated by their fellow |
men, have made failure of life. They |
can take none of the gold with them,
but the gratitude of those who are
benefited by helpful works will con-
tinue as long as my books and lectures
are read. l will gladly take up the
subject mentioned and will as soon as
possible make suggestions in lecture
in this paper.
