! ointment to prevent inflammation
Keep in fighting trim and you car
laugh at the flu
1t is said that in 1918 the flu killed
5000 people in Chicago, in eight weeks
but happen to know from persona
observation that a big majority o1
those people died from the dope that
was given as medicine, whiskey and
quinine was freely prescribed and now
the same doctors tell the people tc
avoid all kinds of alcoholic liquors and
most of them advise against quinine
and asperin.
The osteophathic physicians gave nc
medicines but they lost only three
per cent of their cases. You probably
know of the terrible death rate among
those who took drugs.
Home Health Club Notes.
Mrs. J. C. w. of Ills, writes:
Dear Doctor Reeder: We have been
helped over so many bad places on the
road to good health by the Home
Health Club that we are coming to
you direct.
Our little boy was exposed to whoop-
ing cough while at school, he caught
a slight cold recently by playing in the
wet show and now has bad cough.
l fear it is whooping cough. Is there
anything we can do to shorten the
attack and lessen it's severity. I will
appreciate reply. ...
Answer: There is much you can do.
First, keep him from school until he is
well or you know that it is not whoop-
ing cough. Keep his bowels open, OBJ
serve the suggestions for avoiding
colds. Keep hm dry and warm
For the cough there is nothing better
than the following:
Get from any grocery store about
pound of garlic, remove the dry husks
and chop the little cloves OF roots
up into very. fine pieces and spread a
thin poultice of this chopped garlic on
2 pieces of cloth the size of the bot
toms of children's feet. Bind these poul-
tices onto the bottoms of their feet
every night when you put them to bed.
Do not bind too tightly, but after
putting it on put on pair of stockings
so that the garlic will not be lost out
in the bed. Repeat this every night
after they get to coughing and you
will not experience a severe night
cough. When garlic cannot be had
use onions.
Mrs. M. T. B. Of Mimi, writes:
Dear Doctor Reeder: A very dear
friend of our family, now only % years
old, is in very bad condition. He
was rejected for the war but l think
he has done more physical and mental
work since then than any one of the
accepted soldiers have done i l.#ls
His father, strong and powerful
hard working, successful farmer, died
leaving the % year old boy to run g
5000 acre stock farm. No help to be
had except the inefficient kind.
He has kept things going but unless
he gets help of the right kind soon he
won't last. His heart is bad and that
is why he was rejected Your methods
saved my son from similar trouble
and I hope you can save our gooc
friend Mr.. B. He is one of the kline
worth saving. ?"
Answer: OF course he is worth
saving, so also. is every one else. NJ
matter who they are or what ails them
In the last page of your letter which
l have not given above, you have sale
several important things, and I have
written you privately about these
Now get Mr.. B. to have an X-Ray
photograph made of the roots of hi
teeth and send this to me for examina
tion, and have him answer frankl,
the questions I have asked. Thel
have him get busy on the direction
given in the Home Health Club bool
