I answered that the. only time I have had a cold for many months followed immediately after a Erecent trip to New York which re- quired a. day and a night on a Pull man car. tried my best to get ven- ltilation. but there were so many other passengers that wanted the ventila- l tors closed and the heat turned on to l the full extent, that simply had to lswelter. I succeeded in securing a berth back so that the fresh air that came in when the doors were opened 1would help, but as soon as as asleep the porter very carefully closed and l cold. Once woke up during the night land found myself drenclIed with pers- Isplration. As long remained Iawake I again kept the curtain open land was comfortable.

 2 Dear Doctor.A friend of mine, a
 woman about 40 discovered a lump on f a1nderside of breast She consulted
 doctors, who could not agree on what . this was but they had it removed in
 a hospital. Tn a few weeks the othe & breast was affected and this was re-
 moved in the same way. Again it
 came on the remaining part OF the
 first breast and she had 8, third opera
