remedy is to use about a tablespoon ful of the liquid or green soap and dis tribute it over the surface of the body where it is desired to secure results and then rub it in for about five min utes. Allow it to remain on for an other five minutes and then sponge it gently off with Iukewarm water Af- ter reading over again the chapter re- ferred to in your book, think you will not. use the method as it is not complete and not likely to give the same satisfactory results as the old fashioned method will give.

 Dear. ,Docter-I have had for sever al years a skin disease, commonly known as blackheads. It never affects any part of my face except my fore head, but 1t is now on by back and chest. Please prescribe treatment, diet, etc. F. K Answer-The skin trouble known as blackhead is not as a rule due to die tetic errors. although in some cases an excess of pork, buclwhaate and syrup might aggravate the condition, also in some cases the difficulty is aggravated by being around a hot stove, or where there is an abundance of steam. This causes the little sweat glands to open and become thoroughly relaxed, and not closing readily, lit tie dirt lodges inside or the opening and clogs it up. The precipitation in attempting to escape Is held back by the dirt and forms a hard lump or mass, which upon being squeezed out liiks like worm with black head. It is not. however. but is simply accu- mulated waste matter with a little dirt at the end of it.
 Every night before retiring you should very thoroughly wash your face with mild antiseptic soap and soft water after which apply the fol- lowing solution: One ounce com merciaI (32 per cent)f acetic acid; two ounces Witch Hazel and one-half ounce of GIycerine. This will cause little smarting but you can put it on without any fear of injuring the skin. Let it remain on for 15 or 20 seconds and then rub the face thor. ioughly with a soft cloth. You will find a great deal of dirt which has been left on the skin by the soap and water will readily come out You will be surprised at the amount of dirt you will get off in this way. Af- ter rubbing carefully then apply the liquid again and leave it on. The next morning you will find the skin looking much cleaner and clearer and it will be soft and flexible. Wash every, night before retiring with soft water and mild soap. and apply the aoetic acid solution two or three times per week only.
 Dear Doctor-Our little boy two years old quite often cries in his sleep. I thought he might be bother ed with worms, but one doctor thinks not. His cheeks, especially at night before retiring, are flushed and do not think his breath smells as sweet as it should He began to talk very early, and has always talked very plainly, but the last three months for two or three days at a time he has stuttered great deal.
 Answer-The little boy's trouble is undoubtedly due to worms. ! would advise Gale. Phos. in 6x tablets, three at a. dose, four times a day.
