 Dear Doctor: My brother received d saVere injury about years ago, and with dizziness. It nearly ceased for a time until after an aggravated at tack of the grip. 3 years ago. This trouble has been manifest by spells, and he has been able to work all the time This spring the attacks have a portion of the time, and very little hard work at any time His appe- tfte is good. He is temperate in all his ahaBlts. He is about 65 years of age height feet 8 inches, weight 145 pounds. He had always been a healthy man until he was injured He has to lie down wfae en the dizzy spells come onAand remain quiet until they pass away They occur now about every day. Hez also has a, gnawing sensation In the stomach which he relieves by eating His right shoul- pains him occasionally. Lately he has had headaches He is also troubled with constipation
 IWould also ask you to advise me in regard to my sisters condition. She is about 2 years younger than the height and weight She has always been troubled with her lungs si11ise having typhoid fever when she was about years old Every winter she has q bad cough. Two years aaso' she had what we thougI1t shingles. with Q rash. and she was quite sick for long time. Her cough has been V orse since then She is better in the air, when the weather is warm, but she cannot stand the cold air During td1e last winter she was terribly bad as she could hardly breath with the doors and windows closed and a good fire, and the outdoor air, was still worse for her. She has never been healthy. bat has nearly always been at work Her. appetite and diges- ton seem to be all right except when she feels badly Has always been const1pated. B G.

There is no doubt one near you to whom he could go for exanlin- atton and treatment. believe he can give the desired relief. There is evidently an injury to the spine which osteopathdc treatments will relieve. The gnawing sensation Is not hunger, but more likely indig gestion He should be careful of his diet, chew all of his food thoroughly, drink no tea or coffee but plenty of water between meals. A drink of water will, I be- Ifeve the gnawing sensation as effec- lively as food, and it would be better for him to take 1t, or a little Juicy fruit at that time. This will also have ! tendency to relieve the constipa- kson-
 Tho sister should carefully follow the suggestions given in Vol on the home treatment. prevention and cure of weak lungs and consumption, as wass as asthmaa This does not mean that she has consumption. but those instructions will be very valuable to her. They will benefit her very ma- teF4aIIy, and if in addition to that method she win take special prep arAt1on oE the tissue elements, regu- 1a7ng her diet, she would I believe get along nscszys
