would say that if a person who
complained OF dizziness when taking
hot or steam baths would put a cloth
wrung out of cold water upon the head
1t would relieve the faintness at once.
Yours very truly, Mrs. w. S.
l am glad to learn that the Home
Health Club has been of value to
you, and sincerely trust that you will
receive as much or more benefit from
it in the future. I thank you for your

porte, 1nd.-Dear Doctor: Will you
kindly state, through the columns of
the Home Health Club, the proper
treatment for a case showing the fol-
lowing symptoms. The lady is my
daughter, a farmers wife in Massa-
chusetts. She writes my left hand
keeps going to sleep. 1t gets numb
and prickles, and then sharp, shoot
ing pains go through the arm and
into the fingers. My hand is stiff, and
has to be rubbed briskly before can
use it. For two years I have dreaded
to make button-holes or do darning.

daily, J. c.
Have your daughter foment her en-
stire arm and hand thoroughly every
night. Then follow by a good rub
bling with pure olive oil. Each morn
ing upon arising massage the entire
arm and hand for at least five min
utes. There need be no particular
movements used in this massage-just
work the flesh smartly with the other
hand; stretch the fingers, roll them,
pinch them; stir new life into them.
A mechanical massage roller would be
of great value, however.

mentation is; but, for fear you don't,
I will describe how to apply one to
your daughters arm. Simply wiring a
wooden blanket out of boiling water.
and wrap this hot mass around the
hand and arm. 1t is better to rub well
with oil first, so as to avoid burn
ing. Be careful, when removing, that
the arm does not become chilled, or
harm will result.
Knoxville.-Dr. David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: Will you
please give me the cause and cure OF
what is called water brash? And
oblige constant reader. H. w. Pl.
Waterbrash is about the same thing
as what is more commonly termed
heartburn. There is something the
matter with the digestion, and this
must be corrected before the trouble
can be overcome. For temporary re-
lief try teaspoonful of lime water
(buy this of your druggist) mixed with
about the same quantity of witch
hazel, taken in a glass of milk. Then
follow the Home Health Club methods
for curing indigestion and you will be
well.
