very thankful If you would give us
some advice regarding Inflammation
Of the lungs. My husband has had
this severely twice, and doctors say
II he gets it again it will be impossible
to cure him a third time. What do

In regard to your personal difficulty.
it would seem that the liver is some
what at fault, and the probabilities
are that you are troubled with an &C.
cumulation of fecal matter in the
colon. You should use fountain
syringe, and thoroughly flush the
colon with warm water about two or
three times per week, for couple Of
months, and you should use the COM
pound gentain sirup for the purpose Of
increasing the activity Of the liver.
and overcoming the pains Of which
you speak, especially the pains in the
shoulder, which are reflex pains com.
ing from the liver. The pain around
your heart is probably caused by an
accumulation Of gas In the stomach;
the gas comes by reason Of indigestion
Of food. Prepared charcoal tablets for
gas in the stomach would remove this
accumulation. It would be quite diff
cult to instruct you how to cause your
face to look more fieshy without you
were familiar with the art of mas
sage II you could apply facial mas
sage it would benefit you great deal.
It would be wise for you to reduce the
flesh on your body II you are heavier
than you ought to be, by following the
directions that are given in the cloth
bound book of Home Health Club lec-
lures, or in pamphlet No. /, on Obe-
sity. You would grow stronger and
healthier. You would also find in the
same book instructions for home
treatment Of Inflammation OF the
lungs, or pneumonia. The subject was
recently discussed in these columns,
and I Iwould advise you to refer to
that lecture. It is probable that your
husband has weak lungs, and should
not be in such q severe climate.

developed into rheumatism and dia-

begin the use OF herb remedies, which
will increase the activity Of the vafi-
