When electricity is properly applied
by one who understands it, it is nearly
always beneficial, although there are
some cases In which it does not seem to
have any effect. Therefore, unless you
are familiar with the use of both the
galvanic and faradic batteries, | would
NO recommend you to use them. II,
however, you have a physician who il
skillful in their use, it is alright.
Infammatory rheumatism will gem
orally give way quite readily with the
use of the Schuessler tissue remedies.
These are inexpensive, and can do you
no possible harm. However, in your
case, it is wise to build up the general
system and increase the activity of the =
organs of elimination by the use of the
good old-fashioned herb remedies. In
your case, the use of the compound gen.
tian strip would be best. The formula
for it has been given a number of times
in these columns, SO l presume you are
familiar with it. 1t is especially good
for one of your age, because it will in
crease the activity of the kidneys, and in
that way reduce the swelling in the
feet and ankles. 1t is wise to drink an
abundance of water between the meals,
but not while eating. The fact hat
you have access only to hard water in
probably the cause of your rheuma-
tism. If you could have this water
slightly heated, and then filtered
through a sand and charcoal filter, it
would be much better, because it takes
out a great deal of the lime. A better
way would be to have it distilled with
a distilling apparatus which you can
easily procure, and better still, drink
fresh buttermilk instead of water. I
trust you will be benefited by my sug-
gestions.
Elmwood.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Sir: am a reader OF
this paper and am especially interested
in the health items which you contrib
ute. Doctor, l write to know if there
is anything that will cure one of snor-
ing. l am a woman 40 years of age. and
have very good health, but the fact that
l snore annOys me terribly. l notice
if l fall asleep lying on my side, my
breathing is all right, but whenever I
sleep lying On my back l am sure to
snore. Hoping you may be able to cure
me of this very annoying habit, l re-
main, respectfully, X. q.

vice for preventing the habit of snoring,
which is quite effective.
Make a little knit cap something like
the shape of the heel of a sock, and fas-
ten it under the chin and up over the
head with an elastic band, so as to keep
the mouth closed while sleeping. This is
the whole secret, for when the mouth is
closed snoring does not occur.
Maine.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: was advis-
ed to use ten drops Of Fowler's Solution
in a glassful of water during the day,
taking only a sip alta time. 1t helped
me very much. and l felt no ill effects.
l advised a friend to do so, as | knew
of another person that had been helped;
but the druggist said he would not dare
give so much. l find she is in a delicate
condition, and l hasten to ask you>if
you think it safe. Very truly yours

do not approve of administering
Fowler's Solution of Arsenic under any
circumstances. 1t is true, there is
many a case in which it acts the same
as it did yours, but the after effects are
sometimes worse than the original dis
ease. There are many other methods
which Wilt bring about the same result
without danger. Especially would l ad-
wise against the use of it in the case CT
your friend at the present time. I
would suggest that she read the lecture
on Motherhood" which was recently
published. as it will probably prove val
liable to her.
