But the lungs are really first IL a hops
Of a cure is to be entertained. In fore
going lectures, how to increase the ac-
tivity Of the lungs anu skin by simple
home methods have already been
given.
What is commonly termed suffusion
on the lungs is merely .this watery
waste which has accumulated, it being
the condensed vapor that should have
been breathed away. This is dropsy OF
the lungs, frequently called water on
the chest, or pleurisy." Simply pack
the upper half of the back to allay in
flammation, after which apply a gently
rubbing with hot olive oil between the
shoulders to increase the action of the
lungs. If used in time, this alone would
ward OF the threatened condition.
Another form of what is called
dropsy Is watery swelling over the
stomach and bowels-that is, the con-
densed vapor that should have passed
off by exhalation and perspiration coll
lects, in such cases, over the abdomen.
AS was the case with water in the
cEest" action of the lungs should first
be stimulated by the above methods,
the action of the skin quickened by
sponging with strong, white vinegar,
then rubbing, first with lather, and
next with fresh olive oil, thereby, il
such a thing be possible, securing q
natural, healthy condition of the skin.
And by this method of procedure the
kidneys will be relieved.
In cases where the feet have swollen
first and the vapor waste has risen
farther and farther upward, the skin
is the first thing demanding atteEt ton.
1t is we'll, too, to place large bran
poultice to the lower half of the back,
which viii! have an ideal effect on the
kidneys and bowels. Instances are re-
called where this alone removed the
water and entirely cured the dropsy.
The first thing is to be sure the
lungs are stimulated to perform their
part, then attend to the skin and Sc
cure it's cooperation in eliminating
the waste matter, stimulating the kid
neys and bowels with genial heat. Be
careful and exact in this, and when
there is any chance for recovery you
will not be disappointed.
1t often occurs IN cases of dropsy
that the heart action Is impaired. The
blood is accordingly not supplied rap
idly enough, and waste matter ac-
cumulates on this account. Here again
direct action toward the organ itself
is wrong, the proper thing being to re-
move the water as easily as possible,
as 1t is itself a heart poison.
Ir thetreatment, Of this disease, as
we'll as in all others, the question OF
diet presents itself. That which is
most easily converted into rich blood
is certainly the best. All club members
know from former lectures what this
is. 1t often occurs, however, in cases
of this kind that a constant thirst 10
felt, In which event place two drops of
strong acetic acid or lemon juice in
each cupful of water taken. Whole
wheat foods should compose the prin-
cipal part of the diet.

you an eetimate Of the proper storage

| am informed by your clerk that a
$4,000 bond issue has been authorized

ang reservoir, in addition to the gravity
line. l have investigated the problems
sufficiently to report that $4,000 will
construct small concrete reservoir,
say of 100000 gallons capacity, and a
distribution system through the town
that will equal any system of any town
of the same size in the northwest, and
be ample for all your needs until the
town exceeds 1900 population.
If the town will construct a system
for distribution at a cost of $4,000 there
ought ought to be no difficulty in en-
listing private capital to construct the
storage basin and gravity line equipped
ready for use and buy the lands neces-
sary to complete the project on such a
basis that the principal object in con-
structing the works. namely, securing
fire protection, will be attained at a
reasonable cost to the city.
Interest on the bonds will be $500

but that the security from fire alone il
worth that sum. Further, the intro
