AN OIrNcE OF PREVENTION

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
It is a trite but true adage; AN
ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" This particular
ly applies to the prevention OF
illness and especially to the
prompt cure and treatment OF
small Affections that may result
seriously, otherwise. There are
many times when prompt action
will turn aside long spell OF
sickness, prevent a big bill from
the doctor; save much valuable
time; hinder a crippled condition
for life. or even checkmate
death.
When this is so palpable IN
common experience and backed by
proverbs such as that quoted ana |;
"a stitch in time, saves nine /,
etc. it is somewhat remarkable
that so many persons utterly lg-
more it all and reap the dire re
suits.
A scratch that becomes in
famed; a silver under a finger
nail; a chafed foot that has been
poisoned by the dye OF a stock
ing; while in 80 cases out OF lUo
or in far greater proportion
these may heal naturally and
with little care, upon the slight
est sign of inflammation, the most
perfect prevention should at
once be resorted to. Otherwise
there may come the danger OF
blood poisoning, lockjaw and
worse.
When you find any cause OF
danger, remove the cause at once
by thorough treatments taught IN
the Home Health Club books. IL
you are not in possession OF the
books, write to the club and the
proper advice will be given you,
freely and without charge.
Don't neglect a little cold, stop
it, don't. go around with sore
finger, heal it; don't watch your
hair falling out, prevent it; don t
growl and endure decaying teeth.
remove the cause; don't wait un
til the lump in your breast be
comes cancer, or the brown scab
on your check developes into Il
lungs treat them to finish, and
if you do not know how, ask the
Home Health Club.
There are simple home remedies
and home treatments for all all
ications, from a distressing itch
ing to tuberculosis. Properly ad-
ministered under proper circum
stances, these remedies and treat
ments will make you whole again
and all of it can be done in your
own home and with material that
you have at hand, for the most
part.
CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor-My little girl
four years old is afflicted with
nervous trouble. The doctors
here say that the nerve leading to
the cerebellum is affected. It
was first noticed Sept. 4th, 1910.
She first complained Of pain in
the back of the head, and in q
short time she began to stagger
and fall when she was walking.
She has been trouble much with
constipation, but is some better
Of that now. She falls when she
closes her eyes while standing,
cannot look upward without fall
Ling. She vomited very much,
and with great force, up to two
weeks ago. Is plump, weighs
SO IL pounds. F. P. T.
I would not attempt to dag
nose the case of your child from
the description which you have
given further than to say that it
shows a few of the symptoms OF
Locomotor Ataxia, although these
are not usuallysfound in SO young
patient. / think you would be
wise to have a very thorough and
careful examination made of the
spine by a reliable and skillful
osteopath, for probably there is
some slight luxuation Of the
spinal column, and have it also
examined for adherent propuce.
/ would not care to make ad-
ditional suggestions without see-
ing the case.
Dear Doctor--Two months ago

urinary organs. / have frequent
