New Ulm review., 1922-07-19


hammer and nails or we will have no
house to live in.
! One Of the best things Mature ever
gave to us and without which we could
not live is water.
! The old swimming hole, the ponds,
lakes, rivers and creeks seem to be Just
made especially for boys, well, yes, f5r
| girls tco. I find they are lots stronger
and more vigorous when they are good
swimmers.
| ! believe there has never yet been
devised any sytem of exercise that is a
better all-around developer of lungs
and muscles, as we'll as alertness of
mind, than swimming.
If you watch baby, kitten or
almost any animal when they are
sleepy you will observe that they curl
/ up. The entire length of the spine
make an arch that is more or less half
circle. The head is thrown around
toward the abdomen. In this position
the blood does net circulate 80 actively
in the brain. Again watch the animal
when some startling noise warns it Of
danger. Instantly the head is thrown
up and the eyes snap open, the spine is
Strengthened and every faculty is alert.
! In swimming the head is thrown
back, the chest expanded, long deep
breaths are necessary, every muscle
and Joint CT the body is full of energy
and activity.
Good swimmers usually carry their
heads high when walking or running.
If they keep up the swimming all
through life they do not get round
shouldered nor are they dull and sleepy
looking. Every child should be taught
to swim as soon as to walk and they
should keep it up Throughout life.
1t is not necessary to be an expert or
to hold a worlds record or even q
medal but it is necessary to learn and
to practice often.
ss Club Notes.
Mrs. ]. P. of Nebraska writes about
pains in the back: So
Dear Doctor Reeder: Ihavs hard
ly known what pain Of ache was like
since / spent little time in your care a
few years ags, until the last few weeks
have been troubled with pain in the
small of my back and 1 wondered if
this could be any kidney trouble. We
are always glad to, hear from you,
either by letter or through the paper.
Answer: Your kidneys are not in
the small part of your back but much
higher, normally up under the short
ribs. The trouble in your back is
what has been called rheumatic lum-
bago. You would secure immediate
relief by using the simple home treat
ment described in your Home Health
Club book, Volume 2, under the head
ing of "Lumbago," but you must 60
farther than that. This trouble is
caused by pus which you are absorbing
into your blood. remember that you
had gold crowns on several teeth and
the chances are ten to one that the
roots of all Of them have pus pockets.
Use the home treatment for relief but
60 to your dentist for a permanent
cure.
Mrs. H. X. of Michigan also writes
about kidneys:
Dear, DR.. Reeder: I have not been
well for some months and last week I
went to our good family doctor and
after told him what could, he made
an analysis of the urine and then he
tested my blood pressure and also took
few drops Of blood to examine. I
could net get him to tell me much
about what he thought of my case
but he said finally that I need not be
alarmed, he would have me O. K. in a
few weeks.
My husband then talked with him
privately and of course you know men
can't keep things to themselves, ST.
through him I learned that there was
albumin in the urine and high blood
pressure with too much water or per
haps not enough red in my blood. He
thought I ought to go to sanitarium
for few months or else go home to
mother in the country and live out
doors, take nude sun baths and eat
~.
nothing but fruit, vegetables and milk
all summer. What dc you advise DR.
Reeder? I will appreciate your reply
very much indeed. nss
Answer: My advice is that you have
a most excellent family doctor and yor
should do as he has advised. If yor
can afford to go to one of the best
nature cure sanitariums and dom,
4 want your m other to have the care o
you, go to the best IN America. Other
wise, go to your mother and loaf bu
don't forget the nude sun baths. You
doctor will tell you how.t get the bes
results. Iwould also advise an X-Ra.
