1t confirms all I have been saying about the close connection between the throat, stomach and bowels. You undoubtedly have had frequent at tacks of more or less severe appeSldi- citis and unless the cause is removed, this will become so acute as to ru42- ture the appendix, and if at that time you do not have most excellent and thoroughly scientific care, your earth ly career will be over.
 do not recommend the removal of the tonsils unless they are diseased beyond repair, but I do recommend the removal of the cause of tonsilitis and enlargement of the tonsils. Change your diet and your habits in such a way as to overcome constipa- tion. Have your physician read. the above article and then apply the method of treatment suggested. It cannot possibly harm you and it can cure you and if. he does not sufficient ly understand, I will be glad to tell him where to get specific instructions as to technique. If he laughs at you and will not even. try the method, l Will gladly direct you so that you can do it yourself.
 Dear Doctor: Several times during ] recent months have, so my doctor says, been threatened with lung fev- CT or pneumonia. He advises me to 1 go South for the balance of the win | ter, but this is hard for me to do; two of my boys have joined the fight ing forces to help defend liberty and
 humanity and I am left to care for the stock, and if you know anything about an Iowa stock farm, you will realize that it is not job for weak ing. Hired help is unobtainable and
 at Lest is seldom dependable. As your | job seems to be telling people how
 to keep well to preference to letting
 them get sick, I wish you would tell
 me how to prevent. further risk along
 this line.
 N. H., Iowa. ~. (Answer) For several years when l
 was a youth I lived on an Iowa stock
 farm and I know just what you have
 to contend with. Of course, your
 health and life if endangered must
 not be risked in order to care for the | stock. If need be, the animals can
 all be sold and at a. good price Eut
 how could the seasons crops be cared for without the horses? The stock can
 be cared fer and you can do it with
 out risk if you will follow the detailed
 directions ! have given you in a pri-
 vate le;teT, but here are a few more
 suggestions First, turn to your Home Health Club book Vol. 5 or "Medicta-
 al Plants of America" Have on hand
 always a supply of the simple old
 fashioned herb ointment described as
 Grandmother's Ointment, and if al
 any time you feel that there is the least danger, apvly the ointment just before going to bed, and apply it free ly indeed all over the chest, throat
 ur der the arms, on sides and back
 Then lay over the lungs a large piece
 of oiled silk or oil cloth, and wrap
 the throat with a cold compress, Nover that a dry flannel and go to bed. Possibly a good cup of hot ginger tea , would also be advisable, but if you use the ointment freely you will not
 have pneumonia. Next, see to it that
 your feet, hands and in fact your en- tire body is kept warm and dry, each and every day. When you get your hands wet and your mittens or gloves are soaked with the wet snow it is : almost as bad as getting your feet s wet. Keep dry, keep warm, but dc g not get overloaded and then stand
 in the cold while you chat with your t neighbor or the mail carrier about f the prospects for the next years l crop, because if you stand moment s too long there may not be a croI 0 for VOL
