How many scores Of names there may be
for different brands of liquid petrolatum we
haven't the slightest conception, but there
must be as many as there are wholesale
drug houses at least Possibly there may
be slight differences In weight, freedom
from taste, odor. etc. But virtually II is a
negligible difference.
The more common names are liquid pc
troleum, purified petroleum, mineral oil,
Russian" oil, paraf1n oil.
SO long as there is no unpleasant taste.
and no aftertaste, the preparation is good
enough whatever name II bears
Mineral oil is called an "intestlnal lubri-
cant" and II appears TO serve such pur-
pose II is unlike castor oil. olive oil,
butter. and other things used for laxative
effect, in that II Ia never absorbed. 1t lub-
rcates that is all.
Being tasteless, II is not difficult to take
like water. The dose for an adult is say,
a tablespoonful several times a day; for
n young child. n teaspoonfu Is sufficient.
Being only lubricant, the dose must be
repeated frequently. An automobile driver
feeds oil to his engine continuously.
Better not mix oil with meals, however.
II will do as we'll. or better, an hour or
two from meal time oil Of any kind puts
n sudden quietus upon the secretion of gas
ten digestion.
Particularly appropriate is mineral oil
as a remedy In that vast number Of cases of
intestinal stasls constipation. due to kinks,
sagging or ''ptosis' as doctors say, weak
ened abdominal and intestinal musculature
(this in women who mold the figure with
corsets instead of breathing and exercise).
These are the very cases of costiveness
which are only aggravated by physics.
Now mineral oil has never cured any
thing, in our opinion. It Is a harmless
remedy and very grateful thing TO use
in lieu of the injurious liver pills, A. B. S.,
salts, castor oil. calomel and herbs" SO
commonly resorted to when intestinal ac-
tlvity Is inadequate. To take a powerful
drug. even II II is obtained from purely
vegetable" or herb" sources, just to re-
lieve food stasis or constipation, is to store
up worse trouble than the constipation IT.
self will produce. Mineral oil will obviate
the need of such drugs, and, remarkable
though 1t seems. 1t never does any harm.

| WHAT" exclaimed Missus Goat.
Complaining about your food again, are
| you? What will you do when you get to
the front and have a little piece of pork
and bean to eat?"
| Billy opened the letter and read:
