 understood appreciated for many
 years to come. The head of the great
 American nation. the richest nation
 on earth, is quiet, temperate chris
 tian man. When various foreign coun- | tries were sneer1ng at what they 1 thought to be a weak and vacillating quietly and patiently endured their
 taunts and continued the strongest display of temperance under terrible temptation ever exhibited by the head of a powerful nation. Just as the successful climax of his
 masterful policy appeared in sight, the long dreaded European war be- came a, fact and the tremendous pres

 portance would appear to overwheln a man of iron constitution and great physical strength In the midst of this terrific avalanche of public demand for careful and concentrated and tenn perate action, his beloved wife, who
 has been his true helprnate and in spiraGon for so many years, was stricken by death and even though the entire nation with it's mind upon the awful war, pauses to weep with him, the man of temperance continues to patiently do his duty.
 As read the glaring headlines of
 war news in my paper, was struck ] by the frequent reports of various per sons who had become insane or died of shock and fear after reading war bulletins A special dispatch from Rome headed in a, big black type says: .~War makes people ilI.'' Another dis patch tells of a physician on board one of the steamships bringing Americans home from abroad, who went violent 1 sly insane as a result Of worry over the war.

 knew a man who was on strict diet at a sanitarium- He was hungry
 and asked if he could eat oranges, knowing that the fruit was regularly
 prescribed for cases like his. The at tendant told him, t.'Y es, eat as many
 as you 1ike.'' He ate 36 in one day and nearly killed himself. As he was
 recovering from the effects of that, he
 one day, drank double the regular al-
 lowance of milk and again was made severely i'll. While believe that the whole world would be the gainer if
 the productions of alcoholic liquors should forever cease, know that in temperance would not at the same timeScor1e to an end. but it would help

 Dear Doctor:-I am ashamed that. have not written to you before now
 regarding the Hay Fever treatment which you so kindly told me about. It
 was for my husband who had been a
 severe sufferer of this distressing dis ease for a number of years. He had
 tried everything he heard of, had used a lot Of medicine, had also tried diff ferent climates, but without any great
 relief. Two years ago he heard of the Home Health Club treatment, secured l it and although beginning rather late | tn the season, he felt very much bet I ter, the attacks not coming very often l or being of a hard character. Last I year he only felt miserable about one hour. He cannot speak too highly of I this splendid treatnent and he never fails to tell others who are similarly l afflicted. He remained at home all last
 season working as usual. This is cer- I tainIy good results obtained consider l ing that he had suffered for more than I 20 years and had never been able be- fore to attend to Business. We are all very grateful to you for your ad- vice and wish that we could recipro- | cate in some way.
 i SsThis isqu1te a typical letter of many [ have received regarding home treat l ment of hay fever according to the methods outlined in recent article. Tt is timely just now and those who I are in need of that treatment should l not hesitate trying it. It gives prom ise of both temporary and permanent l relief.
 have gone, so will report as desired. l Am endeavoring to keep to the diet I you prescribed me. am eating no | eggs, hardly any meat at all. no tea l or coffee. I eat well of the things 1 you mentioned, have no trouble what I ever with what eat My bowels now move regularly and am hope 1 ful they may continue to do so in the 1 future. I feel well and am gaining in I strength and also little of the weight I I lost Am content to wait and be l thankful for what has been already accomplished. If all the tendency to trheumatts1n disappears I will indeed
 be still more pleased.
 This change in the diet I suggested T to you has evidently benefited you a T great deal and you seem to be gaining l in all respects. You probably remern- Der that I stated from the beginning I that it would not likely secure for you l immediate relief, but would slowly aid
 in increasing the activity of the dor
 nnant organs. The best advice I car 1 give now is to continue along the same lines as before The more conscien-
 tious you are the more certain you can
 be of permanent results. I also pre- dict that the rheumatism will bother T you very little if any from now on
 Your digestive organs are good. your
 elimination is normal and this will
 clear your system of aecumulations of
 uric acid. By also following the local
