 Dear Doctor: Thank you for your valuable advice in our paper. Will you please do a, kindness to many children and older people by telling how to rid the system of pin worms. Many a child is fretfu1 from these troublesome little pests.
 MRS. B. w.
 Pin worms are threadIike looking inch in length. often coating the ex- crement and seen about the rectum, where they cause so much itching and scratching as to occasion a red ness, sw cling and inflammation of the skin. The ordinary treatment for pin worms is injections. Each morning the bowel is to be we'll washed out with cold water and castillo soap, be- ing sure to raise the hips of the child on the pillow when giving the injec- ton in order that the water may flow as far back into the bowel as possible. It is sometimes well to anno1nt the rectum with vaseline after it has been thoroughly washed with soap and water, in order to remove the eggs of the parasites When the pin worms are not readily removed with soapsuds injections these may be followed by injecting one-haf of strong solution of common salt. and water, which should be retained in the bowel as long as possible, a folded towel being placed against the rectum to keep the water, in. Such injections should be repeated each day for ten days.
 Santonin is a common internal remedy for worms, but in some cases it is dangerous and should only be &J,o for Ivy d effective in many cases. Another well known remedy, used by many Home Health club readers to good advant- 1 age, is a special selection of the tissue foods, which have frequently re- ferred to in my lectures consider them the safest, simplest, most effec- tive and scientific method of treat mert.
 Dear Doctor: Will you kindly tell me through the RArne Health Club department a home remedy for my trouble, which is indigestion, I sup pose, as my stomach feels so bad. I also have pains in the top of my head and in my left side and breast; get very nervous at times Have neu- raIgia in my chest at least think it is neuralgia It bothers me greatly at times, in my shoulders and backbone. Have palpitation of the heart: can not stand much work. Am 27 years old; have 2 children. If you wiI! ad- NISo me or some treatment Tor this trouble I will be very grateful.

 Your trouble appears to me to be indigestion, combined with extreme nervousn ess. One of the first things which you must learn as a dyspeptic is that you cannot eat any and every thing. The fact of the case is that none can do so, but this is partic1- larIy true after the stomach is af- fected- You should oh loose your foods very carefully; eat only the plain, nutritious foods of a light character, such as will give only life and strength, and yet not overtax your di- gestive organs. Above all things chew your food thoroughly The greatest trouble with the average per son is that they let the teeth shirk one-half to three-quarters of the work which they should do. Of course, then some other organ has to do much more than it's share, as the teeth do less than theirs. This imposition falls to the lot of the stomach. The aver age stomach is all right if you give it a fair chance When it asks for bread do not give it a stone, or some thing equally bad. What it wants is plain, wholesome foods which serve the purpose of the system, and if you supply it with these element properly prepared, it will most invariably take the best of care of them, and with
