 Dear Doctor: would like to ask a number of questions, but fear to in- trude your time too much. I am a young unmarried woman. feet, 2 inches high, and generally weigh abo1t 120 pounds, although my and less in hot weather help with the general housework on a farm (that is milking, caring for the milk, washing ironing. sweeping. etc..9 but rncuh Of the time am so tired and feel as if I can hardly drag around. My limbs feel so weak and trembIe soma ndays. My head bothers me a good deal and has for the past year. On the asright side it roars and rings much of the time. I notice it espe- cially when I lie down at night. It feels somewhat dizzy, or to better ex- press it, kind of a mixed up feeling like one has when one has the grip. Last spring I had a slight attack f the grip and sore throat with it.
 T have never been so very strong, and seem to require more sleep than some. My appetite is generally very good, and perhaps sonetf14les eat more than ought am sure I have catarrh in the throat or back of the nose, as the mucous drops in my throat. and have to hawk and spit to get it out sometimes My memory is not so good as it used to be. Per haps let trifles worry me too easily. Now. doctor, from my explanation do you think there is anything you could suggest that might do to feel bet ter? I'D.

 It is evident that the various or gans Of assimilation and elimination are not properly performing their du- ties. The result is that you are not well nourished. and your food does nOI QO the ,5OO0 IC ~ has a habit of remaining too long in the stomach and bowels before being digested and eliminated. The result is fermentation which develops an leaeid and gas The acid passing into the circulation as uric acid into rheu- hnatisrn, neuralgia, etc. while the gas pressing upon the diaphragm against the heart irritates it, causing dizzy spells. bloating, smothering sensa- tions etc.
 am inclined to think also that you have been working harder than you ought, overtaxing your strength, as it were You ought to take a rest while undergoing treatment, all of which should be directed, as told you in my private letter. toward in creasing the activity of the organs of digestion and elimination. The gen. eral weakness, trembling and con fusion will disappear as your general health improves.
 Dear Doctor: learn that you will give any of your readers information pertaining to health. should be glad if you would tell me what to do for cramps in my feet and legs, and oblige. J. M
