Woman and Her Health
The most forward step in medicine is
the lack of it. This is not an Irish bull.

In other days medicine was given for
every known ailment, real and imagi-

preston, a slight cold, night of indi-

stomach had to digest as many oppos-
ing medicines as foods. 1t was the clear
ing house for every IL.
Patent medicines were as freely taken
as those from private prescription What
Il neighb0r recommended was cheerfully
swallowed without a thought of the adage
that what is flesh to one is poison to
another,
Considering the centuries of this abuse
of medicine the drastic change is as
startling as an airship and wireless
message. These things are together in
the marvellous achievements of the CEN

The classes. and some of the masses.

Doctors do not hesitate to omit it alto
gether in certain cases. The expensive
and widespread fight against too much
belief in patent medicines has put the
nation on it's guard.

erS. have been severely taught to leave
a neighbours medicine alone as they
would her chickens or her flowers. The
doctrine of one prescription for one per
son has been preached into every intelli-
gence.
1t has also been beaten into the human
brain that it is not always wise to be
ones own doctor: that the prescription
of two years ago is not the medicine for
today.
The laity has been unpleasantly as
Sured that the CD smcals that would cure
one person might kill another.
Schools and doctors have taught wOm-
IN SO much about her body, her tissues,
her nerves, the lntrlcacleS of her StOm-
ach. that she has an abiding fear and
respect for herself. She has learned the
body's power, and she is afraid to tam
per with it.
And so today there is a Joyful reyolu-

titude toward health. She has learned
great lesson, which may preserve her
and bequeath to posterity finer bod
lily equipment to fight the battle for life.
She has been taught to use natures
remedies instead of those of the drug
gst, and her instructors are doctors.
She has learned that Indigestion means
rest for the stomach; that headache
means rest and sleep for the whole body;
enforced period Of quiet life; that bad
temper IS the outcome of OverWOrked
nerves and that she wants to give her
self less to do.
She has learned that depression and
melancholy are cured by fresh air and
exercise; that too much self-dcpreciatlon,
SeH-crlhciSn, mean that she is too much
involved in her own affairs, and that she
needs contact with others woes and
joys.
She has learned the Importance of

tonic of keeping a few hours for her
