The pain in my shoulder Is very bad
Just now. Sometimes it is SO bad
that / cannot do anything with my
right arm, and shoulder just gives out.
Have burning sensation in right side
and pains in my stomach and bowels

short Of breath II catch cold / am
worse. Often have dull headache.
I must always take physic or use in
lection for my bowels, which does not
do much good.
I am a big eater and am almost
afraid to eat as much as I desire. but
I have to work hard, as we live on q
farm, and always have plenty to do
l have catarrh in my head with q drop
ping Of phlegm in the throat, making
it necessary for me to clear throat
often. am afraid to take much med
icine for my trouble, as am afraid 1t
might be injurious
I am so anxious to hear from you,
hoping you can tell me what to do so
I can get well and then would be
the happiest person living, for have
suffered SO long. I read every letter
that is published in the paper and cut
them out and save them. Thanking
you for any advice you may give, l
am, Respectfully,-Mrs. P. s.
I am inclined to think that large
portion of your suffering is caused by
overeating. It is not SO much the
quantity Of food as the assimilation
of what is eaten that gives one
strength to do a great deal Of work.
It is evident that the various organs
of elimination do not properly per-
form their duties and you are to
some extent poisoned by the waste
matter which should be promptly
eliminated. Continual dosing with ca
thartics will in time reduce your
health to most miserable condition.
Adopt the Home Health club method
Of eating as described in the Club
Book and So frequently in these lee
lures, and you will find that less than
one-half the quantity will amply sat
isfy your wants, while at the same
time you general health will greatly
Increase.
For all the other troubles enumerat-
ed, carefully follow the directions CIV
en- in my private letter.
Freeport.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La

you make a suggestion for the relief
of my poor old body? I suppose |
must call it old-others do. But !
am almost through with it, and only
need to patch it up a little here and
there. I shall soon leave it, pre-
sumo, as I have occupied it nearly 80
years, and it has served me we'll
dislike to have it suffer while I re-
main in it. During these many years
myself and family have lived accord.
ing to. the teachings Of good old Dr.
Thompson, and used only the herb
remedies such as Nature gives us SO
bountifully, and we were well and
happy. Ny husbands body died few
years ago, but he is still living in the
higher life, where / expect to join
him. While serving him, my body
was strained and severe pain in my
right side still remains, though not SO
bad as at first. I describe it more
closely in a separate letter. I enjoy
your great work. It is good to see un
selfish devotion to humanity. The re
ward is always certain. have read
this paper since it was first published
Il is good. Sincerely yours. Mrs. s.
E. D.
The pains you have SO well de-
scribed, may be, sas the local doctor
says, Of a rheumatic nature, but
think they originate in strain Of the
muscles. Use the remedy which
have written you for rheumatism and
neuralgia and in addition apply
thorough hot lamentations to all Of
the right side and spine. Allow 1t to
remain on for 80 or 40 minutes and
after remaining, rub first with hot
vinegar then follow that with thor
ough rubbing with warm olive oil
after which cover with flannel and 90
to bed. Next morning the pain will
be almost entirely gone, and anoth.
er treatment will probably complete
the cure. l wish to congratulate you
upon your long, happy and useful life.
know that many will rise up and call
you "blessed." Our bodies are simply
q temporary dwelling place, and !
wish that more could realize it. ]
thank you for your kind words for me
and for this paper.
