Reply.
1. Most migraine tablets contain
acetanilide, phenacetin or some SINH
lar coaltar derivative which depresses
the heart. Unless you are sure your
heart will stand it, such medicine is
dangerous, not rarely fatal. 2. The
stuff consists essentially of these
drugs: Strychnin, aloes, arsenic, iron,
potassium sulphate. Figure it out for
yourself. g. The surgeons who for
merly operated on tuberculous glands
in the neck are now treating them by
non-operative measures with more sat
isfactory results in most cases.

Hypertrophy or thickening of the
turbinate bodies in the nasal passages
is common cause of a red nose in
young people. General lack of tone in
the circulation is another Find out
about the turbinate bodies, and take a
tepid or cool sponge or plunge bath

Before you go away for your health
Three things must be carefully con-
sidered by the invalid who is planning
to change his climate for the sake of
health. Particularly must these things
be considered by theindividual who
has, or fears he has tuberculosis.
Some of the tragedies following up
on hasty and ill-advised journeys to
distant places in search of health-giv-
ing air could be prevented II chronic
invalids would but realize that an en-
thusiastic friend who has been there"
is after all not so reliable an author
ity to consult as is a physician who
has studied the matter from a prac-
teal medical standpoint.
Sometimes we think the sanguine
or hopeful temperament of the tuber-
culosis patient is really a detriment
instead of a blessing. Early, in the
incipient stage, when the signs and
symptoms are so slight that even the
doctor is placed at considerable trou-
BILE to make a definite diagnosis, the
patient resists all opportunities to
leave his indoor work and get out in
the open. He or she assumes that 1t
is only bad cold" or a run down
anu ItluSeS IO lSltH 10 the
pleadings of doctor or friend. Then
months later when the disease has be-
come active and the patient is losing
ground steadily, despite all manner of
home care, there is a sudden decis-
ion to send the patient of to some dis
tant resort, without the doctors ad-
vice, yes. contrary to his advice
This is folly. desperation, tragedy. But
enough OF that.
Three Important Details.
Before travelling to a strange land
the invalid should first be sure the
same benefit cannot be obtained right
In HIS own home or dooryard or at least
within convenient reach of home For
tuberculosis, at least, this is possible
in many places.
Next. he must take into considera-
ton. or his friends and relatives
must. that inconsistencies is a terribly
severe handicap to many invalids for
many weeks after they arrive at a
health resort.
Finally, and most important OF all,
the tuberculosis patient going away
to seek the benefit OF another climate
must be provided with money suffici-
ent to pay his way for at least ten
months.
