over my body; my feet, legs and back
are very sore and the pain moves
around Tt is worse at night.
have two boys and they seem to
have a cold all the time, as well as
catarrh of the head. The little 67year-
old boy has little punches on the sides
of his neck and throat and has a bad
cough Do you think it comes from
the water in the cellar? Please tell
me what you think would be best to
MRS. I.
(Answer) I note what you say in
regard to the latitude in your town
and I think you are not wise to live
in a house where the cellar is fr1u Of
water You and your family only,
have one life to live and if were as
you age now I would desert, give
away or otherwise set rid of what
ever property I had there rather than
remain and grow diseased from it.
on cannot hope to have good health
while you remain there, and as that
is the most valuable thing that you
can possess you should at once get
into a better locality. especially for
the sake of the IL o boys. The little
boy who has the punches on his neck
will In all probability develop tuber-
culosis unless you can get him into a
17zgher and 5drier atmosphere. You
should procure at once a special pre-
paration of the tissue foods for the
purpose, of overcoming. the bad eff
fects, already manifested and over
coming whatever diseased matter
there may. be in the. glands at the
present tin1e- Yo71. should try to keep
your house dry. have a fire as much
as possible and be sure there is plenty
OF ventilation under the house as well
as through it while you are forced to
remain.
Personally you should partake/ of
butterrni1k freely as it will aid in
counteractfng the rheumatic eondi-
tiofs, but this will Tot be good for
the boys. They should be given plenty
Of sweet milk to drink every day,
all they wan@ Of If, and keep them
out of doors as much as possible.
