QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
SuuIi,rbt v Tuberculosis


Several friends have advised me
to try the sunlight treatment for
tuberculosis OF the throat, l am
told that there are a large number
Of persons here COLORADO Springs,
COlo.) who have been greatly bene-
fitted by the treatment. Would the
sunlight treatment be harmless
and is it really beneficial IN tuber-
culosis? Is. A. WI
Answer-It is not wholly harm
less. but under medical supervisory
it is harmless, and often of great
value in the treatment Of tubercu-
losis Of any part of the body.
Ouch. Have a Heart
l. What are the early symptoms
Of cancer of the stomach, and how
long does it take stomach cancer
to develop? 2. What would you do
if you had cancer of the stomach?
(W. X. NJ
Answer-There are no charac-
teristic symptoms. Any person ov-
er thirty-five or forty years of age
who begins to have obstinate stom-
ach trouble which fails TO respond
to diet and medication, may well
think of the possibility Of cancer,
since the disease is so very com
mon and occurs in every family
now and then. Vomiting Of blood
stained material and loss of weight
are also suggestive. AS TO what /
should do if / had cancer of the
stomach, why raise such unpleas-
ant points in a discussion like this2
Having taken a whirl at the ether
and the knife recently, l think that
1 should not hesitate a single day
about letting a surgeon get in
there and try his luck. 1t is a Hob
sons choice.

Passage by the lower house of the Kansas

It is much to be feared that Germany will
be disappointed if it hopes to raise any consid-
cradle loans in this country. 1t will find that
since it has been beaten and discredfted it has
lost most of the sentimental support that fig
ured so prominently short time ago. Future
favors will be few and far between, and dis
tributed on a purely business basis.
