THE TONGUE.

What does your tongue tell you.
Watch 1T carefully, for 1t Is just
as good an indicator of your ply
steal condition as a thermometer is
Of heat or cold.
The coated tongue is an indication
of gastric disorders. while the fam
ing tongue tells that the owner Is
feverish.
When something has gone wrong
and impaired the action Of your Ill
gestive tract a glance into the mir
tongue looks broad and thick.
If there is irritation of the blood
supply OF the stomach and bowels
you may observe that your tongue
is elongated and somewhat pointed.
If the tongue is dry beware Of
CASTRO intestinal disturbances. If
you have been overeating Of late and
your stomach has more than it can
properly handle. a heavy coating at
the base of the tongue will suggest
the need of an emetic.
When a person is i'll and the coat
ed tongue becomes furred or shaggy
in appearance, you may know that
the disease is in an advanced stage
When there is extremely high
fever and temperature and much
prostTation the tongue will be found
to be dry and brown in appearance.
But If the tongue becomes dry and
red, 1t is an indication that the pa
tient Is in a more serious condition
than when the tongue was dry and
brown.
When a person has been seriously
i'll with a marked dry tongue and
that organ gradually becomes moist
again it Is sign Of a turn for the
better"
The disappearance Of the coating
on the tongue. with increased mois-
ture and gradual subsistence of ire
mors, are indications Of a return to
normal.
Anxiety and Worry May Be Cause of
III Health.
Mrs. NJ. S.: You certainly were
under the care Of a physician at the
time that your baby was born and
would earnestly advise that you
consult him in regard to your condi-
ton. II it should chance that he is
now in war service, go to some other
competent man. 1t Is possible that
the anxiety that you have had con-
corning your little one and the extra
work that it gives you Is entirely
to blame for your i'll health, but 1t
would seem wise to have some def
mite personal advice in the matter.
