tween shoulder blades. Am "a years
old ard very feshy, except in fat.
which is thin and pale. | would ss
very thankful if you would give us
some advice regarding Inflammation
of the lungs. My husband has had
this severely twice, n doctors say
if he gets it again it will be impossible
to cure him a third time. What do
you think of the matter? Respectful
ly,-Mrs. D. E.
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 ac-
emulation of focal matter in the
colon. You should use a fountain
syringe, and thoroughly flush the
colon with warm water about two or
three times per week, for a couple of
months, and you should use the COM
pound gentain strip 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. 1t would be quite diff
cult to instruct you how to cause your
face to look more f1eshy without you
were familiar with the art of mas
sage. If you could apply facial mas
sage it would benefit you a great deal.
1t would be wise for you to reduce the
flesh on your body II you are behyle7
than you ought to be, by following the
directions that are given in the cloth
bound book of Home Health Club lee
lures, or in pamphlet No. 1, 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 would advise you to refer to
that lecture. 1t is probable that your
husband has weak lungs, and should
not be in such a severe climate.
Salem.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Sir: Since becom-
ing a subscriber to this paper l am a
careful observer of the health talks,
and enjoy this department most of all.
| am not the very strongest and the
past year finds me not so well as
usual, though | do all my own house,
work. l have rheumatism mostly in
joints; hand and feet puff up; also
in mornings upper eyelids are full,
but by noon it is gone, and eyes look
sunken with dark circles round them.
l am greatly co~nstipated, bowels do
not move without the aid of a laxative.
Have had piles for six years, and rec
tum. is swollen. Took electric treat
ment without benefit. l believe consti-
patton would disappear if the piles
> could be cured, Last fall | had what
) | call chilly back; commenced across
} kidneys and crept up to shoulders.
: Am seldom free from it and that is
5 only after l get warm in bed with
, hot %soapstone, to back. | have noticed
i when | have this trouble, that the kid
! neys do not operate regularly. | have
been drinking freely of water, and it
seems to go right through and of light
color. Have no pains in region of
= liver, but complexion is sallow and am
very nervous. Appetite is usually
good, but food is not nourishing, as |
keep thin and pale. Digestion is poor.
e l try to eat slowly and masticate my
food thoroughly; stomach very seldom
|, hurts, sometimes have heavy feeling
s two or three hours after noon meal,
t with some raising of gas. You will
think me a bundle of aches and.
troubles, but l can work, but tire cas-
e lily. If you can give me relief for this
e troublesome back and the piles or COM
g stiption, it will be greatly appreciated,
and your advice will be followed to
d the letter. Gratefully-Mrs. R. G.
r The difficulty in your case appears
to be originally indigestion, which has
e developed into rheumatism and dia-
: betes insipidus. I think it would be
wise for you to have a thorough and
e careful examination made of the urine
t to determine the exact condition of the
f kidneys. You should also Immediately
|, begin the use of herb remedies, which
will increase the activity of the vari-
e Gus organs of elimination. There are
the glands of the body of which the
e liver is the largest, the kidneys next,
e etc. For this purpose | know of moth
n ing better than the compound gentain
| sirup of which l have so often spoken
: in these columns. You should also
use the Home Health Club method Of
treatment for the cure of piles,
q All readers of this publication are
r at liberty to inquire for any informal
v ton pertaining to the subject of health
at any time. Address all communica-
tons to the Home Health Club, or DR..
