Not a Bite of /. {. Breakfast Until
 Y You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves behind a. certain amount of stncom- bustible material in the form of ash es, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves. in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indiges- tible material. which. if not com pletely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for the mil lions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left over waste, toxins and ptomain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feeling right must begin to take in side baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink glass of real hot water with .easpoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty9feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of pois- ons and toxins and to keep the en- tire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick headaches, colds, biliousness. con- stipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath. backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urg- ed to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sani- tation This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and water cleans es, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the stomach. liver, kid neys and bowels. '.

The champions Of the past in this
matter say that we are a generation
OF moflycoddles. but the champions
OF the past are usually persons Of I'M
menfely strong physique. and they
take credit to themselves for what
has been merely their good luck.
Worse, they will attribute their
longevity and their good health to
some perfectly unrelated habit.
II am eighty-five and have all my
own teeth" says a man. why?
Because shave after washing. The
new generation washes after shaw
ing. II 1t would only shave after
washing"--etc."
With all our alleged mollycoddling
we live appreciably longer than our
ancestors. Some will assert that
since life Is a nuisance, long life Is
q still greater nuisance.
But II you ask these wether they
would be willing to go back to the
old state Of affairs, the answer will
either be In the negative or 1t will
be a lie. In some ways we have re-
tanned the foolishness Of the past.

We have not yet arrived at a
comprehension Of the deep truth
that a man who Ia his own doctor
has a fool for his patient. iEven
doctors rarely treat themsclves)
but you must know how to choose
your doctor!

and no amount of funerals will eff
feet his infallibility., Nevertheless
we are like savages In another
point, that sometimes we kill our
magicians, that Is to say, we
change our doctors, often for no
reason except that we want fresh
magic. Then we have to choose
q doctor. How?
Well. we are apt to 80 TO "the
nearest man." not because high
speed is essential, but because some
times It Is simpler to go to the
nearest man. Yes, and it happens
sometimes that we choose a doctor
because he plays good golf or coed
tennis. or because his motor-car
looks smart, or because hts poll.
teal opinion comedies with our
own. or because he takes a dig

the town, or because he has a nice

Have Learned q Lot.

And. in the second place. the doc
tors have learned q lot. Doctors, I'm.
Guiding panel doctors. were called
up and put under the very best men
In all sorts Of hospitals throughout
the country. Doctors were also ut.
tached to medical boards and Den.
sion boards.
They necessarily acquired pre-
cious Information concerning the alb
solute necessity Of careful diagnosis
according to routine which omitted
nothing. and they returned to their
ordinary practices loaded with the
said Information and habituated
methods Of diagnosis and treatment
which. at any rate, are not unscien.
tific. And 50 the doctor Is now more
or less able to SUPPLY what the en-.
nghtened patient demands.
Before the war. everybody who
was accustomed to both English and
French doctors must have been
struck by the more searching and
thorough methods Of the latter.
The difference between the two was
indeed sometimes quite startling.
do not desire to praise French
doctors at the expense Of English.
and I am entirely convinced that
: English hospitals, both military and
civil. were and are superior to
French: but know from an expert
ence extending over years that the
French doctor had at least a SCI
entific attitude toward disease. and
especially in diagnosis. which was
exceedingly rare In the English.
The reproach Is now somewhat
diminished, IL not removed.

War Set New Style.

And he called again in precisely
three weeks. And this was not
uncharacteristic Of him. Yet he
had a big country practice and
was beloved as a magician.
Modern standards show, II must
be admitted. some Improvement on
those Of even seven years ago, and
for two reasons, both due to The
war.
In the first place. during the
war perhaps five million men either
went through hospitals or came up
frequently for hospital parade. And,
despite their frequent dissatisfac.
ton, they thereby learnt a very
great deal about medicines and
medical and surgical treatment.
Ihey now know something about
what a thorough diagnosis is. and
they have spread their knowI.
edge among families and friends.
II they fall Ill. or II their reIa-
tives fall Ill. they expect a scien.
tific attitude and some attention
to detail from their doctors. They
are aware Of some of the latest
devices and they are disconnected
II the said devices are not an.
piled to themselves.
The day is going when the
doctor. on being summoned. could
come and chat miscellaneously and
pleasantly Of nothing in particular
Tor q quarter OF an hour. and then
glance casually at the tongue for
two seconds. take the pulse In thirty
seconds. and. murmuring vague re.
assurances and. a promise to dis.
patch colored medicine. depart full
OF complacency and honor. A doc
tor who behaved thus to a man who
had been through q military hospital
would stand in danger Of being re.
quested to clear out at a moments
notice.

Many Get Hysterical.

Today, Just as In the past, there
are certain diseases, especially those
affecting physical attractiveness, as
to which women will unfailingly be-
come hysterical. And men as apt as
ever to become hysterical II their
digestive organs go wrong.
Also. a person who knws he suf-
fers from q chronic malady will at
tribute all his ills TO that maiady,
tprgetting that he Is as liable as his
Fellows to some scores OF other
maladies.
On the other hand, q man Will
still as Of old deny to himself the
existence Of patent chronic malady.
and carry on his existence exactly
as il his proper place was not In
bed--and then die suddenly and have
the effrontery TO be surprised
thereat.
Again, We still dose ourselves a.

sneer at doctors. 1t Is true that
doctors don't know much about dis
ease. but they know immensely
more than laymen.
Our forefathers INDUCED In what
were called herbs and simples. We
indulge In tabloids. and on . far
vaster scale. Herbs and simples
possibly did some good in q few
cases, when used with knowledge
and discretion. The same. and not
more, may be said Of self.adminis-
tered tabloids.
You can get tabloids scientifically
and admirably prepared. to cure any
mortal thing short Of q broken leg.
Nothing can be said against good
tabloids. But much can be said
AGAINST the ignorant and immoderate
users of good tabloids. that is. the
great majority Of us.
Tabloids. form part Of the secret
of life of nearly all Of us. We have
the vice of drug-taking. and about

Ills Cure Themselves.

Most ailments get cured or cure
themselves in the end, yet II the
new doctor has a nice smile or
plays good golf and the first case
is a success. then he is unalter-
ably established in our esteem Us
a magician for years to come.
The fact Is that doctors simply
are not chosen for. their profession
al skill. and professional ski Is
only one Of the ingredients Of
successful medical practice. and
not the most important one. Not
seldom indeed a very successful
practice Is achieved without any
professional skill worth mention
ing.
At best doctors are chosen for
their character-and how many Of
us are sure judges of character?
Human nature is such that the
, best of, us may be deceived by a
doctor who is honestly deceiving
himself.

May Use Mysticism.

He will assuredly not give the
impression to the patient that the
malady is accidental, or that the
treatment consists wholly or even
chiefly In bottles of medicine and
powders and pills.
II q doctor conducts his pro-
fessional work in this spirit, with
this thoroushness and with this
sense Of proportion and of per-
spective, the chances are that he
really knows his Job and has the
character and ability to execute
his Job successfully. II he doesn't

Patients were enormously I'm.
pressed. At the end Of his splendid
career that doctor had the convio-
ton that he had positively saved
tho lives Of half the community
which he adorned. And he was not
alone in the conviction. Hence. his
triumph.
The patient will naturally ask:
But how can Judge the profess
sional skill Of a doctor?" The an
swer il that he cannot. To q Ger.
tain extent the laity Is at the mercy
of the medicals.
But the patient can at any rate
Judge his doctor on the manner In
which he approaches the case. The
doctor approaches the case in .
spirit Of scientific inquiry. He will
not limit his attention to the par
ticular ailment or symptoms which
are the occasion Of his visit. He will
know. that an ailment seldom stands
by itself.
He will inform himself about the
patients age, vocation, daily habits
and medical history, and he viii note
these things down.. Then he will
get at the history Of the particular
aiIment, the present symptoms and.
especially, just what made the pa
tient send for him at Just that mo-
ment.
Then he viii make a thorough ex.
animation of the patient. and. II the
case is serious. he viii make several
examinations. He will consider the
patients physique as a whole and
his existence as a whole--and then
he will prescribe.

was four inches high. and he wore
