A thor ough inside cleansing" is ofttimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

Boils-What Causes Them and What
to Do for Them.

to Do for Them.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
Boils are due to bacteria on the
skin. Under normal conditions the
body does not suffer from these bac-
terra on the skin but when the vital
itv becomes lowered and the bacteria
enter through scratches or other a
brasions, they multiply, produce puss
and cause inflammation, swelling and
pain.
The best way to prevent boils is to
clean the skin thoroughly and keep 1t
clean. Persons with boils should take
bath in hot water and soap twice
day-morning and night. The skin
should be scrubbed with a coarse
wash-cloth, and even the scalp should
come in for good cleansing. After
the bath, the patient should be dress
ed in clean clothing which should be
Changed daily, especially all that
touches the skin. If there are boils
on the neck, face and hands, that
part of the bed linen touched by them
should also be changed daily.
One who is subject to bolls should
build up his resistance by simple NV
ing-cold bathing, out-of door life, day
: and night, the disuse of much meat
and heavy food. The diet should con
sist chiefly of fruits and vegetables
The bowels should be made to NOV
once or twice daily.
The best treatment for a boil tia
has become painful is the application
of moist heat. This may be don
: through soft poulticing. The kind Q
2 poultice is immaterial as its only va
! liable properties are warmth and mos
= ture.
