Food Is Usually
Real Cause Of
Spring Fever
BY DR.. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Just what do we mean when we
speak of spring feverg y A feeling of
extreme languor, disinclination to
work, to attend to even our most COM
monplace affairs, explains the condition.
One feels so because spring is a
time of rebirth. Nature calls to all that
is new and young and fair. She clothes
the earth in tender green she perfumes
the air and fills one with an inder
scribable yearning to take part in this
almost holy rejuvenation Thus the
system feels the need Of d spring house
cleaning. just as a housekeeper takes
down the heavy, dusty winter hang
ings, opens wide the windows to let in
the balmy air, so the, body must be
looked after, that it can adjust itself to,
the new season. 20
During the winter we have partaken
of rich, heating foods, that were prob.
ably never at any time completely d.
gested. Much of the, waste matter re-
mains in the system, clogging it with
2 impurities that cannot be thrown off
without assistance. We need, besides
radical change of diet, spring tonics
and spring purgatiyes to thoroughly
cleanse the various channels and drains
in the body. Much of the languor of
spring can be thrown Hoff If one has
sufficient strength of mind to start an
entirely new diet. Nature helps won
derfully by providing an abundance of
new, tender green's and delicately col
ored vegetables with which to tempt
1aded appetites. A
Lenten fare should be pursued
throughout. the spring and summer
months, for, with advent Of warmer,
weather, the continuance of heavy, heat
producing foods is obnoxious to the di-
.gestive organs. Chops and steaks, par
ticularly veal and pork, should be given
up altogether, substituting fish, poultry
and the lighter meats. ~
Eat mre vegetables, such as carrots,
peas, asparagus, spinach, lettuce. Vege-
tables of this character contain miner
ais valuable to the body. If they are
combined with salads. dressed with
olive oil and lemon. Juice, and again
with mayonnaise, they become besides
palatable dishes, foods rich in noufish-
ment. Onions and celery are worthy

the lungs or the heart when inhaled?
Is it injurious?"
Answer: Banana OIL is chiefly q
chemical substance known as amyl ace
tate, although it may also contain ace
tone and benzine. Cases of poisoning
from considerable amounts of amyl ace
tate have been reported. The symp-
toms and avoid inhaling or absorbing
sensation, feeling of fullness and con-
gestion in the head, dizziness, nausea
or temporary blindness and severe head
ache. Painters, engravers, embossers
or others who use paints, enamels, or
lacquers dissolved in banana oil"
should be on the watch for such symp-
tome and avoid inhaling or absorbing
any of the amyl acetate while at their
work.

ger of its becoming a cancer? / have
a number of moles on my back which
have developed in the last few years
since / was forty years old. What is
the cause?
Answer.-If one has a mole which
shows signs of irritation or of be-
coming enlarged he should promptly
consult physician, who will determine
whether or not the mole should be
removed by making study of the
type of the mole, its relation to the
surrounding part of the skin, whether
or not it is inflamed, etc. Certain
moles on irritation begin to grow rap
idly and thus assume the form of can
GERS. The cause of moles, like the
cause of cancer, is unknown. On the
other hand, moles. like cancers, seen
and controlled early, can be properly
handled.

have been using our cistern water for
cooking. The cistern is not deep, but it
is almost block from any other house
and about thirty feet from our ewer
pipe. Is it safe for me to use this
water for food cooked less than twenty
minutes?
Answer.-If the only objection to
the city water supply is the large
amount of iron in it, the authorities
should see to it that this is remedied
as it may be done easily and cheapIy,
If there is any doubt as to the purity
of the cistern water it should be boiled

Acene And Peeling on Ok Skin Be
tween Toes

tWobu 1OcS
L. L. B. says: 30 Is there a cure
for acne, and if so how should it be
treated? What causes acne (2) How
may one cure perspiration. blister
ing and peeling off of the skin between
the toes? What causes such condi-
ton 2"
Answer: /. Acne can be treated sue
cessfully but considerable time is re-
ouired. No single method is success
full in all cases. Both internal and
external treatment have been EN-
ployed in most cases. The treat
ment should be carried out under the
direction of physician. As to causes,
they are both local and constitutional,
the local being bacteria or germs and
the constitutional causes including bad
diet. poor digestion, faulty elimination,
etc. These differ in different individuals
and frequently require medical examl-
nation to determine them.
.. Blistering and peeling off of the
skin between the toes is, as rule,
an infectious condition produced by a
fungus similar to that which produces
ordinary ringworm That also should
be treated by physician. The dag
nosis should be proved with a micro
scope examination. After that proper
treatm can be recommended.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Value OF Prunes And Petrolatum
C. B. inquiries do raw prunes
have the same medicinal value that
cooked prunes have? Is there any
harm in taking petrolatum as laxa-
tive"
Answer-Raw prunes have essential
ly the same effect as those which have
been cooked except that the added
water in the stewed fruit promotes
to some degree the laxative action. For
young children the pulp only of stewed
prunes should be used, since the skins
are somewhat irritating.
Liquid petrolatum, the action OF
which is purely mechanical, is one OF
the least Objectionable of the agencies
used to promote bowel movement. How
it is usually possible to correct con-
stipation by regulating ones habits of
diet and exercise. 1t is always better
to avoid the use of medicines to re-
lieve constipation except to meet spe-
cial emergencies.
Multiple Neuritis
A. ID. says: Il have multiple neu-
ritis and have been advised to have
my local physician give me the radium
water drinking cure, but he does not
know anything about this. Can you
| tell me where it can be obtained, how
it is made, and SO forth? Is it of bene-
| fit in such conditions"
Answer.--Multiple neuritis is caused
by various poisons, such as alcohol
and lead, by acute infectious diseases,
or by chronic infections. When the
cause is removed, that is when no more
poison is taken into the body, when
the infectious disease has run its
course, or when the chronic infection
has been cured, the symptoms of null
tiple neuritis tend to disappear of
themselves. One must be very cautious,
therefore, in crediting the cure to any
treatment other than the removal of
the cause. There is, as yet, no salts
factory proof that any kind of radium
water has any curative effect in this
disease.
Afraid OF A Toothbrush
s. p. writes: How can / teach
my little girl, eleven months old, not
to fear a toothbrush? 1 have the
smallest one with the softest bristles
that l could find.
Ansyer.-It is the opinion of compe-
tent dentists that brushing of the teeth
is unnecessary before the age of two
or three. If, at the age of about two
and half years, your child is given
soft toothbrush as a plaything and
thus becomes accustomed to it, there
will be little difficulty in persuading
her to permit its Suse in gently brush
ing the teeth and in teaching her the
method of using it.
