CLUB NOTES.
lndiana.-Dr. David H. Reeder. La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: Will you
kindly tell me through the columns of
the Home Health club, what should
do to Timber up stiff knee that be-
came stlff from lying in steel frame
for one year and two months. | can
bend it some, nearly to the shane of a
steel square but not any farther. II
have practiced and tried my level
pest. l have not applied anything, but
have simply rubbed it with the palm
of my hand. Very truly yours, F. H. A.
In the first place, would advise you
to foment your knee with a decoction
OF lobelia leaves and mullen. Then
to treat the disease constitutionally. I
think you ought to use the Schuessler
method OF treatment. Schuessler was
an old German doctor who discovered
the system of treating disease with
minute doses of the various elements
OF the body. He then supplied them in
that manner to the diseased tract
the specific element required by each
specific condition. the disease being
caused by lack of balance in the tissue
clements, which balance must be re-
stored before a cure is effected. Thus
IL
would relax as well as build up and
feed the tissues in the nerves, muscles.
etc. of the knee would be selected.
BY all means continue the manipula-
tions, l trust you will adopt thes,
suggestions and let me know of your
success.
Mechanics ille.-Dr. David H. Reed
er, Laporte, iud.-Dear Doctor: We
take much interest in your lectures
and have saved many of them. Will
you please tell us what to do in a case
of insomnia in young man of steady
habits? He is married. He is in the
hardware business and, of course, con-
fined to the store most of the time.
He can get but few hours sleep each
night, and then it is after midnight,
He is pale and nervous, and his gem
eral health is suffering.
He would be very thankful if you
could give him some method of treat
ment which would be beneficial. Will
it be necessary for him to get out of
the store? What kind of baths would
you recommend? He will gladly fol-
low your instructions. Medicines seem
to do no good Very respectfully,
yours, L. G.
l would suggest that the young man
take a horseback ride every evening
after supper. Also that he take no
meat after the noon hour, and before
retiring he should take a cup of hot
milk, as follows: Heat it very hot.
but not SO that it boils, then, keeping
it hot, sip it slowly with a teaspoon
| II it takes Is minutes to sip it all, so
much the better. Taken in this way it
will not constipate, and is extremely
soothing and refreshing. A cold
sponge bath in the morning and
tepid, not hot, bath at night, about
twice weekly will be best.
He is probably one of the kind
who do not require much sleep, and
will be better off if he does not retire
until about II o'clock. At the evening
meal, lettuce salad would be good, but
the cup of hot milk should not be
taken until time to retire. He should
use no tea or coffee, under any cir
cumstances, and should make a prac-
tice of masticating his food very thor
oughly, drink nothing while food is in
the mouth, but an abundance of pure
water between meals | trust that
these suggestions will Rove of value.
