GETTING DISCOURAGED: Part 2.
An operation was ordered and in two
months another and again in six
months, still another. They had a we'll
stocked farm and a fair bank account
when she first complained Of stomach
trouble. Constipation had been persist
ant for a long time liberation was the
diagnosis when boiled down. In all,
during the two years following the
first call of the doctor there were six
operations, over years hospital SER
vice besides all the pain, suffering and
anxiety. I will let you guess at the ex-
pense item. Throughout it ALL however,
she never lost courage, but remained
bright and cheerful.
Without telling me all she had gone
through, but simply describing the
symptoms and saying that she had
been told that she had liberation of the
stomach and bowels, and wanted to
know if there was anything she could
do to help herself. I suggested that
she make certain herb tea composed
Of Myrrh, GOldenseal and Ginger, as
described on page 80 of Vol. of the
Home Health Club books and at the
same time to get about 10 cents worth
Of slippery elm bark, soak it in cold
water, take that also according to the
directions given in the same book. She
had the book and I heard no more
from her for several months. but oh
what flood of gratitude came in the
letter. She was not only at home and
we'll but was doing her housework and
as happy as the days were long.
The total cost of all the herbs she
used did not amount to much over one
dollar, and just to think there was the
cure, right there, all the time, so sim
ple so easy and had it not been for hel
courage / believe she would not have
survived the terrible suffering she was
forced to undergo. I wish I could tell
to the whole world the wonderful pow
err that is at hand, all the time in
the humble waysde plants if they will
only use them. Don't get discouraged
look up and smile.

Dear Doctor
I am so extremely nervous that
dread to go out among friends. The
muscles Of my face and neck twitch
and contract. 1 feel it but do not seem
able to control it. 1 am perfectly nor
NAL otherwise with the exception OF
some slightly minor ailments. The
muscles of my chin and throat are over
developed as a result of the constant
exercise. I can seem to control it per.
haps a fraction Of second but finally
have to give in. There have been times
when it was scarcely noticeable and
others when it grows much worse.

This is form of nervous affection
which is known by the rather peculiar
name Of Tic. It is, Of course, found ir
only those of highly nervous tempera
ment, and is closely related to Other
Neurasthenic states. The only perman'
ent cure for this condition consists in {
form of retraining Of the mind so tina,
complete control over the nerves is re-
gained. 1t is usually of no use to try
to make any effort of the will to con
troll such movements, as thereby the at
tention is only directed more closely tt
them. You must make an effort to for
