Dear Doctor: Please give the cause of waterbrash and the cure.
 Waterbrash is about the same thing as what is more commonly called heartburn. There is something the matter with the digestion, and this must be corrected before the trouble can be overcome. For temporary relief try a. teaspoonful of lime water (buy this of your druggist) mixed with about the same quantity of Witch Hazel, taken in z a g4ass zof milk. g,e. .-.ss

LONE HEALTH CLUB

(Edited by pr. David H. Reeder.
 Chicago)
 Autumn: This is the season when
 many people wonder how they ever
 happened to take such a heavy cold. l In many cases they at once declare l that as usual, it will probably last
 all winter unless they go south As
 a matter of fact the cause is quite
 evident if they will only stop to an ] alyze their own actions when the first | cold days are at hand.
 Usually the fire thing done by you
 is to shut all the doors and windows, l even the bed room windows remain ed tightly closed all night. The
 midday is warmer and the doors and | windows are again opened but as evening comes on they are closed and
 a fire is started n the long unused 1 furnace or stoves. The dust that has accumulated in the furnace pipes or radiators stove pipes and fues, is l quickly dried and carried by the heat | into the air of the closed rooms. The l family breathe this dust laden air and some of the more susceptible members cough and sneeze, then they remark that they must have taken 1 cold when the windows were opened at noon
 Now suppose that instead of the usual plan you just start the fur l mace or stoves going at noon and leave the doors and windows open, let the dust and dirt go out doors | and the clean fresh air come into the rooms. Don't try to get the dust out of the air hues or radiators by wiping with wet cloths. that is. unless you wash them clean. It's better to use dry dusters or better still a bellows or a vacuum cleaner. Get the house thoroughly warm and dry for the chilly evening and then you can continue the open windows with comfort. Overheat is the prop CT name for colds. There is, of course, a predisposing cause in your own body and when you shut off the fresh pure air and turn on the heat you breathe in the germs which find suitable soil in your nose and throat for breeding places, whereas if you had put on plenty of warm clothing and remained in the fresh, pure air, especially at night, there would be no trouble. Night air is just as good as day air. The cattle and other animals that remain in the open sell dom have colds, though their coat is wet to the skin, while those that are carefully housed in basement barns with all the doors and windows clos ed to prevent drafts, suffer continu- ously.
 The body should be cleaned puri-9 fled and prepared by the Home Health Club methods of living and then l there would be no suitable soil for disease germs to work and breed in.
