Diet for Tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids. or tissue-building foods, but only
just the amount which can be assimi-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons.
and hence must be a burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only in
moderate quantity, but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also COM
bination of fats and proteids which is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, is
another food adapted to this class of
patients when it does not produce
"biliousness" through indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila-
tation of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts if the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastica-
ton. Pecans, hickory nuts, almonds
and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half pound of
nuts may be taken daily by the con-
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit. if combined with
other foods. A diet consisting of nuts,
well-toasted bread and fruits is per-
feet dietary for the tubercular patient.
The yolks of a dozen eggs may be
used in place of nuts

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at a dollar bot
tie. Earn it. One should enjoy eating
and he will, if he has a natural appe-
tite, such as comes to one who works
for it.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and a cold morning bath awakens the
brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is a good natural appetizer for bed
ridden invalid.
Another method is a hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes. fol-
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

A Toothaehe Remedy.

A medical remedy for toothache of
great repute is sodium salicylate.
There is no other drug equal to it,

this be repeated every four hours the

The addition of belladonna is often
advantageous and it is said that fif-
teen grains of salicylate with fifteen
minims of the tincture of belladonna
will often give the patient a good
nights rest, when without it sleep
would be impossible.

Thought Blacks Immortal.

The natives of the West Indies
imagined that the negroes, who were
imported in droves as slaves from
western Africa by the early Spanish
governors, were immortal, says Pear
sons Weekly. The black man was
novelty to these islanders, and their
belief arose from the fact that the,
negroes were never seen to suffer
from any natural infirmity. such as af4
fected the white man and the island
ers themselves.
The American climate agreed with
them better than their own unhealthy
Guinea; and from their remarkable
vigor and extraordinary longevity the
Indians not unnaturally concluded
that they were immortal For a long
time they saw or heard of none who
died, except as criminals at the hands
of Spanish executioners, and so they
believed that: the only way to put an
end to negro's life was to hang him.

tees were appointed for the purpose
of carrying forward an active cam
paign against this most terrible of all
the foes of human life. The commit

abroad saw Richard Croker in Paris
and reports that the former Tam
many boss is in fine physical condi-
ton. He is as rudy as farmer and
shows no change from days of yore
except that his hair and beard are

Health-getting, for the chronic in
valid, is simply a matter of training, of
health culture under favorable condi-
tions, which include the discarding
of all disease-producing habits, such
as the use of tobacco, tea, coffee and
all irritating, indigestible and disease
producing foods.
The free use of flesh foods is no
doubt a cause of liver and kidney dis
