in the southern states for great deal of sickness and disability and is consfd cred to be the cause of the poor, physical and economic condition of what are called the poor white folks of the south It is caused by min ute worm which enters the system in various ways, such as through sores on the hands or feet in those who come in contact with the moist earth, in which the arlvae live. These make their way through the body to the intest1nes and there develop, suck ing the blood from the unfortunate victim, until 8 severe condition of anemia results. In any locality where the disease is found, precaution should be taken against it's contraction by avoiding contact with moist earth whenever sores are present on the hands or feet. The privy vaults should be frequently disinfected with chior- idle Of lime and the water supply should be carefully watched, so that it cannot become infected from such a source. Thymol has been found to be the most effective remedy for the disease. The patient should re- main on a liquid diet for a couple of days, then in the morning 30 grains of tflynroI are taken. This is re- peated two hours later and two hours following an active cathartic is taken. It may be necessary to repeat the treatment in a week or ten days, de- pending on whether or not any para sites are still found in the stools on microscopical examination. I gave lecture on that subject not long ago when it was fully explained

 Indigestion (Part 9 Now what are you going to do about 1t, you take cold easily, simply a symptom of part ly digested food that has caused a cIogged up condition of your system. You are constipated, why don't you clean out the offending matter and then make your teeth do their duty. If you thoroughly chew every parti- cle of food you will not be so likely to over-eat, what you do eat will be more easily digested and the waste more readily eliminated
 L know an old man who knows how and what to eat. He told a body of great physicians that he did not be- disease, that germs were absolutely harmless, unless there was suitable soil in the system, caused by partly digested food, and he dared them to inoculate him with any sort of germs they could find. He was old and did not look strong and they would not take the risk. He taunted them. told them they were afraid he would prove them to be wrong. He asked them to name conditions that would cause a person to take cold most easily. They did and he tried 1t as follows. A cold rain was falling and ne dressed in a suit of pa5amaS and walked in the rain for an hour,-no hat, no shoes. without changing or drying in any way he lay down in the hall between an open. doorway at one end and an, open window at the other and slept through the night Not a sign of cold or stiffened muscle, not an ache or a pain. Then he asked them to supply him with the germ of Tetanus or fockjaw. Tn their pres ence he made an inctsion into his foot put the germs into it and sealed up the wound According to all of their rules 1t would kill him. The wound healed and not a trace of inflammation appeared. Then they tried all sorts of germs on him, but none had the slightest evil effect. His digestion is perfect He chews every particle Of food thoroughly. He eats no meat ors animal fats of any kind and very little vegetable fat His food consists of soups, juicy fruits and vegetables. He is vigorous, active and brainy with clear eyes and a clean tongue. How is your tongue? Is your breath sweet or do your friends turn away w1sen you get close to them?
 Chew your food, quit over-eatfng, quit washing the food into the stom- ach with liquids, quit eating the wrong combinations of food, Fer mentation is not digestion. fernenta- lion causes gas. Whenever you have gas you know that your digestion Is not good.

mUB NOTES.

T will gladly answer all inquiries TOT information on health subjects from readers of this publication if same are addressed to Home Health Club 5o39 Cottage Grove avenue, Chicago Send full name and address with four cents postage.
 There are many, very many letters that come to me from day to day of a nature that cannot be answered through these columns. The writer naturally does not want his letter published or his name to be known to any but the doctor. In all such cases, where the required postage Is enclosed, a personal reply is at once made by letter and it is my constant aim to help those who have been so unfortunate as to yield to harmful habits in. diet or otherwise to fall into the hands of unscrupuious men whose principal object Is earning big fee
 Dear Doctor.-Your extensive work among the people is one of the great est and most conSiderate ever under taken by any doctor I know Of We often get evasive replies from our home doctors The effect of stimu- lanfs on nerves is one of great i'm perfanee and would like to know the effect of coffee, tea and alcohol, also tobacco on the nerves, mean physical effect DO they deteriorate
 
 that stfmulants irritated the nerves. Is the irritation harmful in all cases? I mean when used as a beverage. Is any one who Is addicted to the use of one in line for the whole set of stinnp- lants? Tn other words does the desire for stiYnulants increase in every case? These answers are desired for use in Sunday school work.
 would state that the effect of the stimu1aats mentioned by you will vary depending on the particular indtv1d- uaI who takes them, on the amount taken and on the manner of life led by the individual. Tobacco is rather a sedative than a st1mu1ant, but there is no question but that it irritates the nerves sometimes in fact to the ex- tent of causing partial blindness, and it frequently causes rritab1lfty of the heart Alcohol is also more or less harmful in practically all cases. aI- though here again the amount of dam age done depends on the factors above mentioned. There is no reason why l the use of one of these stimulants
 should lead to a desire for any of the others. Tea and coffee are un- l doubtedly injurious when taken in 1 large quantities and in concentrat- ed form. If taken weak merely for the sake of the flavor obtained, no great harm Is done, except in those who are very susceptible to their ef- l fects.
