give relief. First rub the back where
the seat Of the pain is located quite
thoroughly with warm olive oil. Then
saturate a double thickness of flannel
in good strong vinegar that has been
we'll heated. A little salt added to the
vinegar will ala. Lay the hot cloth
upon the back and Owe that place an
oil cloth Or oiled silk 50 that the mois-
ture will not eyaporate. and Oh top OF
the oiled silk Or oil cloth place Il good
sized hot water bag. Keep it lCI for
an hour. Remove all the applications
and again rub with the warm olive Gil,
using care to leave no oil on the SUI
face. Finish the rubbing with witch
hazel extract and cover with dry fan
mel. A repetition of this treatment FOR
two Or three evenings will usually cure
the most obstinate cases of luin1aso
or pain in the back.

DR.. David II. Rccder. Laporte, Ind:
Dear Sir-I am an interested reader
of your Home Health Club lectures and
l wish to ask you how enlarged toasils
can be removed. l was told by oar
doctor to have them cut out, but Go
not like the thought OF it. Kindly let
me know what to DO as soon as posi-
BILE. and l will lie more than thankful
Respectfully, FL. IL.
1t is unnecessary to have the tonsils
cut out. You can cure them yourself
by the home treatment of which | have
written YOU privately. You should also
practice the exercises for the CUR OF
catarrl and bronchial troubles.

DR.. David II. Reedcr, Laporte, Ind:
Dear Doctor-I am Il reader Of 1hi
publication, and l see the offer of ycul
free advice to its readers.
l have Il soil eight years old who is,
l believe, troubled with catarrh and
also enlarged tonsils. He does not
seem TO have any trouble with his
breathing while awake, but at night
his nostrils seems to stop ny, and while
asleep throws his head far back. His
general health is good, and always has
been, with the exception of three years
ago he had Il stroke of infantile paraly-
sis, which left him partially paralyzed
in his left foot. Any advice would be
very much appreciated. Respectfully
yours. A. A.
While most people would consider
this case almost Identical with tina: Of
II. X, of Dauphin, yet the fact that
the greatest difficulty is experienced
while lying down would indicate a
growth in the nostrils Or polypus, a sort
of sack or bag of the mucous men,
brane caused by weakened tissues,
originating perhaps i'll the catarrh. If,
as you suggest. the cause is wholly one
of catarrh, it could be cured by the
use of the method described i'll the
Home Health Club Book of Lectures.
But l suspect that it is not wholly due
to catarrh. but. as I stated before. to
polypus. In order to ure this. it is
necessary to supply an element to the
system which is lacking, and which
causes the weakness of the mucous
membranes. This can be done by the
use of the tissue clements or cell salts,
although the usual method Of treat
ment is to cauteriZe or snare and pull
them out, a practice which I consider
brutal and ulfwarranted. Supply the
lacking tissue elements, either through
the food or direct, and a cure will fol-
low.
In regard to the lameness of his left
foot you should carefully read to-day's
lecture and follow the directions there
in given, and 1 believe the lameness
will disappear.
