CLUB NOTES

Minnesota.-Dr David II. Reede',
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Friend. We have
boy who has been sick for five or six
months, The doctor here calls it
Bright's disease. He swells up all
over his body, but worse in the lower
part CT the body | would be very
thankful If you could give me some
good method of treatment and the
name of the sickness. He is IL years
old. Very truly yours, ]. E.
Such a condition as Brights dis
ease should have very prompt and
careful treatment. II arises from dis
eased kidneys, making itself manifest
by degrees, the swelling being one of
these. would first advise a general
constitutional remedy for building up
the glands of his body, and particular
ly the kidneys, gradually restoring
them to proper functional activity, and
a specific form of herb medication
which will act Immediately upon the
parts affected, and arrest the progress
of the disease For the former | do
not know anything better than the
vegetable remedy which | have often
referred to and given the formula in
these columns compound gentian
syrup. This is a glandular form of
treatment, and would permanently
build up his entire system. The specific
treatment should supply to the vast
ing tissues Of the kidneys, etc, the
lacking elements necessary to their
restoration. This is the form of treat
ment discovered by the old German,
DR.. Schuessler, hence the tissue ele-
ments are called after him They are
usually In tablet form, and would be
very beneficial for your son.
However, for immediate treatment
of the condition, would advise you
to bathe the boys body with very hot
vinegar every night just before retir-
ing. Have it very strong. This should
give temporary relief.
Wisconsin.-Dr David H. Reeder,
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: am a
reader of this paper and would like to
tell you of my trouble, may be you
have a remedy to suggest
have pain in my left leg between
the hip and the knee. 1t varies in de
gree, but seems to get worse all the
time. 1t varies in location, but moves
always between these two points.
have had 1t since last fall, but for the
first few months was only slightly no.
ticable, The pain seems to be
drawing together kind, and is always
worse in the morning at getting up, so
bad that | can hardly move about One
doctor pronounced 1t muscular rheu-
'matism and prescribed for it, but this
and many other remedies were all of
no avail. Please tell me what to do
Yours very truly, S. w,
From the description which you have
given Of your condition, am inclined
to think that you are troubled with
sciatica. Now these pains many come
from rectal trouble, and If you are
troubled with constipation or piles
or any kind Of rectal trouble, then 1t
will be necessary for you to overcome
this condition before you will get much
relief If, however it is caused by uric
acid, in other words, rheumatism
alone, then l would suggest that you
use the Home Health club method of
treatment for that condition.
