Club Notes.
| Grasslake.-Dr. David H. Reeder
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Sir: We have
long been readers of this paper and
are much interested in your valuable
health talks. / am writing to you
now, asking your advice about our
little girl, child between six and
seven years of age, who has several
times risen in her sleep and walked
about the room. She is an active,
healthy child, of a cheerful, energetic
disposition, playing and working very
earnestly. We live quiet country life.
She has never gone to school-spends
her time playing with her brother and
sisters, and occasionally helping me in
little ways about the house. Has never
had any illness, and is normal in every
way except for this tendency to rise
in her sleep. We have three other chill
dren, all of whom are healthy. There
is no trace of somnambulism on either
side of our family and we are totally
at loss to account for this in our daugh-
| ter.
First noticed it about six months ago
and it has occurred some six or seven
times since. She allows herself to be
guided back to bed, still apparently
asleep, and in the morning seems to
have no recollection of what has oc-
Cured, though she has told me of dis
! tressing dreams, such as being lost, etc.
can you inform us as to the cause, and
what course we should pursue, to check
it, or if We can hope that she will out
grow it? Respectfully yours, G. S. L.
| l fully sympathize with your little
| girl because l was afflicted in the same
way myself when child. The trouble
usually arises from indigestion, and you
should see that she eats a very light
| supper, and that she eats nothing after
about half-past five to six o'clock in the
evening Also be certain that there is
| plenty of fresh air in the room in which
she sleeps, and that she does not have
| too much bed-clOthing over her A
| cold footbath every night just before
retiring would Go wonders in helping
| her. The immediate cause of the trou-
BILE is that the blood does not proper
ly circulate, instead of going to the feet
circulates too rapidly in the head. If
the digestion was perfect, this condi-
ton would not exist. l think you would
be wise to procure and have her use the
vegetable remedy for that condition.
You would find it described in pamphlet
No. and the formula has been fire.
quently given in Club Notes.
De Kalb.-Dr. David H Reeder, La
porte. Ind.-Dear Sir: Will you,
through this paper. kindly give
formula for tonic for lady who
physician says is on the verge of nerv-
Gus prostration, brought on, partly at
least. by poor condition of the
blood
Second, can you recommend any
course OF treatment to retard growth
Of tumor (smalD situated in abdom-
inal cavity? Very truly yours, H. L.
First-She should procure the Cloth
Bound Book of Lectures and carefully
follow the method of treatment there
in described. and she will soon be
strong and we'll again. In addition to
this. she should also have the vegetable
remedy CT which l told you in my pri-
vate letter, which would build her I'D
| generally and greatly aid in overcom-
ing the condition, by increasing the
power of digesting food, and building
up the various glands of the body. She
should then drink large quantities of
fresh buttermilk daily, two or three
quarts will not be too much, and take
plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise;
avoid worry and overwork
Second-Electricity, applied in the
hands of skillful operator. is the best
method of not only retarding but en-
tirely curing the growth of tumors in
the abdominal cavity. The tissue tab
lets discovered by DR.. Schuessler would
greatly aid you in overcoming the trou-
BILE. You should be able to procure them
from your local druggist at nominal
| cost.
