CLUB NOTES.
If Mrs. J. p, of Mayer, Ore, FIl
write again, giving her full name,
will cheerfully answer her letter to
the best Of my ability. -
Granada.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: AS read
"a. of this paper I take the liberty of
asking your advice about a severe
cause OF constipation which has been
troubling me for several years. 1 have
tried eating apples, prunes, dates, and
other foods Of loosening nature, but
to no avail. Boiled wheat helped ME
for time, but did no permanent good.
Occupation is that of a farmer Any
advice will be gratefully received
G. E.
In stubborn cases of constipation
such as your own, the condition is
often two-fold, both internal and ex-
ternal, and is not overcome by any
form of internal treatment because the
external cause is ignored, and is, there
fore, thought to be incurable. But
such is not true, for it must be treat
ed by combination of internal and
external methods, and the two-fold
cause removed, when a cure will fol.
low naturally. What these two causes
are, and how to remove them, is fully
told in the club lectures. Therefore, I
refer you to this lecture, which is
headed Constipation and Piles" and
I think you ought tc adopt the method
of treatment therein described.
New Jersey.-Dr. David H. Reeder.
Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: As I see
you for some time publish remedies
sent in by readers, take the liberty
of giving one which is said to be very
good for pneumonia. 1t is so simple
it is worth while, perhaps, when
everything else has failed This sim
pie remedy has never failed to cure
this too often fatal malady. Uusually
two Or three applications will be suf-
ficient, but continue always until per-
spiration starts freely from the chest.
This remedy was formulated many
years ago by one of the best physi-
clans New England has ever known.
1t is also an excellent Group remedy
when applied to the throat. Take
six onions, chop fine, put into
large spider over a hot fire, add vine
gar and rye meal enough to form
thick paste. Stir 1t thoroughly,
letting it simmer from five to ten
minutes. Put into a cotton bag large
enough to cover the lungs and apply
to the chest as hot as can be borne.
In about ten minutes change the
poultice. In few hours the patient
will be out Of danger.
Here is another remedy called onion
sirup which is excellent for Group. aad
brings instant relief. Put layer of
sliced onion in an earthen dish on
the back OF the stove Then a layer
OF sugar until dish is filled. Let
simmer slowly and give strip to drink.
When children at night will awaken
screaming, as tney sometimes do when
suffering with worms, a drop OF tur-
pentine on a lump Of sugar, or even
the smell of turpentine will give re-
lief at once.
