Self-Doctoring.
From Moaery, Farn,ing.1

= AOAu JAOHCfW II Fd1HtWy.J
Many people think that any ache or
pain that does not force them to remain
in bed can be cured at home, so to
speak. The sensible and economical
thing to do, they believe is to go to the
nearest drug store and buy bottle of
some widely advertised patent medi-
cine; indeed, they often conclude that
the more it Is advertised the better the
medicine must be. And their diagnosis
OF the ailment which they hope to cure
Is the result of many incorrect theories,
an ever active Imagination and fear.
The average person has but slight med
ical knowledge on which to base con-
illusions regarding his health; further,
it Is easy for him to imagine symptoms
that do not exist; and In his dread Of
becoming seriously i'll. he resorts to
self-doctoring, In the false belief that

One is Enough.

New Orleans Christian 4drocdte.l
We recently read these suggestive
words: There are many roads to sue
cess; how many have you tried?' With
out undertaking to interpret the mind
of the writer, we suppose he meant to
say that there are SO many avenues
open to success, that there is no excuse
for failure, the explanation Of failure
being in the fact that the road to sue
cess has not been followed. We should
bate to believe that man must spend
much Of his life trying out roads before
he can find one that will lead him to
the goal of his desire. If there is one
road to success, that is enough; and if
there are more than one, still one is
enough. OF one thing we are sure: no
matter how many roads there are to
success, no man will be able to traye;
them unless he properly equips himself
for the arduous journey. He must start
out with determination, courage, the
willingness to work hard and, if need
be, to suffer; and he must have the
moral virtues without which apparent
success is nothing more than camou-
flaged failure. Only good men gain the
goal of real success.

sit and joke, while the others hunted
the ''possum.' The reward of the hunt
ers was big coon. Then weiner and

Make the Most OF Them.

New Orleans Christian Adrocate.l
We may have great many cloudy
days, when the sun seems to have dis
appeared from the heavens; but glo-
riously beautiful days do come some-
times. We may not forget the bad
days-but we can make the most of the
good ones we do have.

dies, the family does not pay the doc
tor This method may seem unfair, but
the underlying principle is sound
enough. The proper time to go to doc
tor is when one is but slightly i'll or,
letter yet, before one is ill at all. Thus
serious breakdown may pe prevented
which may cost hundreds of dollars
and perhaps even the loss of life.
Americans are realizing the truth OF
this argument more and more, and the
old adage "An ounce of prevention is
better than pound Of cure" is rapidly
becoming one Of the most popular and
most highly respected in our collection
of proverbs.
We are learning that many a sore
throat that has been treated with a
stocking and slice of salt pork has
been the onset of malignant case of
diphtheria. Many simple cold has
been the first symtom of measles or
smallpox Many cough that would
not vanish under treatment with a
creasote or white pine cough syrup has 8
been the first warning of tuberculosis.
A certain amount of self-drugging is
inevitable. But every drug store in the
country has on its shelves preparations
that are moderate in price, and that
are not advertised so as to cause the
purchaser to magnify trivial ailments
and dose himself unnecessarily. These
preparations are some of the simple
official products from the e. S. Phar-
macopeia or the national formulary,
whose standards of strength and purity
are constant and enforced by law. If
the self-treated ailment does not re-
spOnd to the use of such nOnsecret
preparations. the doctor will be better
able to tell whether the patients symp-
toms are due to the disease or to the
drugs that have been taken.
But all self-doctoring carries with it
a certain degree of danger. The human
body is a complex machine whose ten
dency in sickness is usually to get well.
In nine cases out of ten we would re-
cover from our minor ailments more
quickly If, instead of taking drugs, we
would slightly modify our dietetic and
hygienic habits If this does not bring
results, or five do not know just how
to make the change. we should ask the
doctor. And the surest way to ascer-
tain whether the body is functioning
properly at all times. even if we are
feeling perfectly well. is to have thor
ough physical examination by first
class physician at least once of twice a
year.
The first step toward taking ones
health seriously is to avoid patent med
icines. Millions of dollars are spent
each year by the people of the United
States for nostrums that do not cure.
In the office of the National Tubercll-
l0sis Association are files containing
the descriptions and histories of hun
dreds Of fake consumption cures. many
Of which have been exposed and taken
off the market by the activities of that
organization. 1t is certain that for the
present at least the only cure for tuber-
culosis is rest. fresh air, sunshine and
good nourishing food properly pre-
pared. One Of the greatest problems of
the association is to educate the public
regarding this fact. For this and other
phases of their work, tuberculosis
associations throughout the country
will hold their fifteenth annual sale of
Christmas seals during December.
