Eyelashes and Eyebrows.
X. c. asks: will you kindly tell me
how l can grow heavy dark eyelashes
and eyebrows? Also will you please
tell me what will make my hair grow
long and thick? II is very scant."
The best thing to make the brows
and lashes grow is to massage them
every night with vaseline and with
toothpick or some small pointed
brush put a little vaseline on the line
of the eyelashes. If your hair is not
normally thick. you need to attend to
the proper blood supply at the roots
This you can gain through massaging
the scalp and you can stimulate the
roots of the hair by massaging in a
good hair tonic. This hair tonic and
the massage simply call more blood to
the roots of the hair. Then you must
good circulation of well-nourished
blood. The nourishment must come
through the proper food supply and
the purity of your blood will be reg
ulated by deep breathing, a good cir
culation to the vital organs, so that
the food digests properly and the
waste is eliminated. Kidneys. intes-
tines. lungs and skin must be kept
active.

part in the circulation of blood
through the skin. Do not hold nerves
too tense.
Prolapsed Intestlnes.
Mrs. T. H. p. asks: My bowels drop
down to a pouch and I have 4 very
weak feeling around them. Cannot
bear corsets on long at a time. Can
you send me directions for general ex-
ercises?"
II the bowels are prolapsed. 1t is
probable that the stomach is prolapsed
and possibly the kidneys also.
The quickest and best way to bring
these organs up to place is complete
rest in bed. with lying down exercises
to strengthen all of the abdominal
muscles and ligaments. The intestines
should come back to place in about
six weeks in bed. accompanied by gen.
eral exercises for abdominal strength
and exercise and massage to mechanic
ally move the organ to place. Your
general weakened condition may result
from the weakness of all abdominal
tissues, and also from general debil-
ity which has allowed the stomach to
prolapse. My earnest recommendation
to you is to take this time of for
rest. because you will never feel per-
fectly we'll and strong until the in
testines and stomach return to their
normal positions. feel that you will
save yourself not only suffering in
the present. but possibly suffering In
