In order to avoid an operation you will have to adopt energetic meas ures and keep it up for long time As long as the inflammation exists you should apply thoroughly over the appendix, the vegetable ointment to which I have Frequently referred in these lectures. You should also take from two to four tablespoonfuls of olive or mineral oil daily in order to keep the bowels freely open, and if necessary, take enemas before go- ing to bed at night, using from two to three. quarts of tepid water. You should keep up the use of the oil for at least one year to avoid an opera ton.
 Your whole trouble was originally caused by improper diet and insuf11- cient rnastication- The food you eat remains too long in the stomach be- fore digesting and this brings about fermentation. Your whole system is influenced by this more or less, and 1t can be stated plainly that the stomach is entirely responsible for any other complications which may arise. To dope your system with diff fe1ent medicines would never make you we'll, but by adopting a, careful course yof diet and not allowing your self to become constipated you can not only avoid an operation, but be we'll in the future
 Eat generously of juicy fruits and ,vegeta bles, and above all chew every thing you eat thoroughly; drink nothing while eating. but drink plen- ty of water between meals. Drink no tea or coffee at any time for it ially and you must keep it active, if you would avoid future attacks.

I intended to use hot poultices, but every one1said it, was rheumatism and wet poultices should not be used, till T .peremptorily ordered them to apply them. With a broad towel [ was slowly turned, the p1asters were talk en off and flannel or woolen cloth was dipped in hot water wrung out so as not to wet the bed too much and applied as hot as I could stand it. The result was wonderful. At the first ap- plication the pain ceased, and so with every other apc ieation, until after having them on -o-- three-fourths of an houp, the pain was entirely gone
 
 room To make sure, I hadA the same hot water application put on for a short time the met day. The pain has never returned Now, I wish any one suffering from a like pain would try the hot water and obtain the same results. x s. B.
 The above described treatment is given in the Home Health Club books Vol, 2, under the heading of LuTn- bago, except that the Home Health Club method gives additional sugges- tions which are usually found very beneficial. and those who are sup piled with the club books do not act as a rule suffer more than a very short time from pains such as you experienced.
 ago a Dutch fvesse1 was held up by the British and all it's cargo seized, not because it was contraband, but because it was a. welcome source of supply to England. The empty boat was then released On the way across ethee hanneI it was torpedoed by the aGerma ms. And now the British courts hold that, since the Vessel would have been. torpedoed anyway, Eng land need not pay for the cargo!" This is but one of the many, many in- stances that show the sufferngs of fl
