New York. March li.--L4ncoln
Beachey announced in March. 1918.
that he was through with flying. He
had become known as n most daring
aviator. and in making known his re-
tirement h. raid he held himself re
sponEibIc for the deaths of number
of men who had tried TO emulate him
IS defer Of death. Six months later
he was back at the game and his first
fiighs resulted in an accident at Ham
mondsport. ". Y, where his machine
swept two gtris from the top of q
hangar, killing one of them and Sc
rtausly injuring the other.
About that time Pagoud. a French
aviator, was startling the world by
performing freaky tricks in the air.
and Bcachey told his friends that the
Frenchman's success had convinced
him that flying had become reason
ably safe sport. and that Its business
usefulness would develop rapidly He
said he intended to devote his atten-
ton TO that feature Of It rather than
the spectacular.
Within month. however. he was
ooping-the-loop in hts aeroplane,
fying upside down, and cutting spirals
In a fashion to thrill even those who
had watched Pegoud. On one occas-
ion he was seriously hurt while try

There was apparently no limit 10 his
daring. and his faculty for devising
new ways Of riskinE his life was al
most uncanny His success seemed
to convince him that the aeroplane
had finally become as safe az any
other motor crafts.
Had Many Thrillcrs.
A year ago this month, Beachey
went to France to study the aerial
capers OF Pegoud and returned to this
country with new stock of N1rillers
which he exhibited at Brighton Beach
track last May. On that occasion he
| looped -the-lcop four times. cut his
initials in the air with a series Of tail
slides, loops and corkscrews. and lost
a mile race ny three seconds to Barney
Oldfield. While Beachey had been do
ing these things in the air and moving
along at the same time, Oldheld had
been driving his 00-horsepower
automobile around the track In SO 2-5
seconds. 1t was quite the most thrill
ing exhibition New York had ever
seen.
Beachey was born in California thir-
IL years ago and began his career as
a fiier with dirigible balloon, one
of his stunts having been to fly into
washington and to circle the capitol
dome. on another occasion he navi-
gated his dirigible around the tall

 s5 Dear Doctor: Would you be SO kind as to give the symptoms of gall stones. also treatment for same? Is this trouble often fataI2 Is there any medicine. food, or treatment to pre- vent formation Of gall stones Is an operation necessary and is the opera tion considered critical ? An answer to these questions with any dther information you can give, will be very gratefully received by one who has a sister suffering intense pain at times from what a, doctor says is gall stones. MRS. G. A.
 The pains, which occur when the gall stones are striving to leave the gall bladder, are excruciating in character and very intense They may come with regularity every few days or weeks or months, The att tacks commence generally with dull pains in the right ribs, usually after eating or exerion. The pain soon grows sharp and intense in gripping character, extending to the abdomen ing of food and mucous, and occa- sionally chilIs and convulsions, but no fever. The face becomes pale and jaundice often arises. Often the whole surface of the body is cold and covered with precipitation. Such symptoms may last for hours and days before the stones are evacuated Y If you have read my lectures on the treatment of gall stones you would note that seldom recommend surgery. Operations for gall stones are serious matter. and nothing but an absolute and forcing necessity should compel any one to undergo operations for this trouble. Many a time have given directions, through the following of which patients suf- fering with gall stones have recover. ed within a short time.
 She should use internally, a. special preparation of the tissue foods or cell salts, to be selected for her condi- ton. I consider them the safest and most scientific and effective treat naent that I can recommend, Besides she should take wine glassful of pure olive oil every night before re- tiring,1 and in the morning take one teaspoonful of cream of tartar in half a glassful of water.
 Dear Doctor. I wish to tell you had started to maturate and become very ugly looking Isoaked it in hot water and vinegar number of times and then put mutton tallow. It drew out the pus which had gathered and it is healing now nicely.

 Vinegar is most excellent as a dis infectant and can be used with per feet safety in washing out sores of any kind. am glad you had good success with it and hope that others
