through the skin. The patient
s. ould remain in bed as long as there
is any fever, and should be kept
quiet in a darkened room with
plenty of ventilation.
An ordinary case Of acute tonsil.
litis will last three or four days,
even under the best treatment. If.
diphtheria patches begin to form
upon the throat it is a wise plan
to call physician who can supervise
! the case and use whatever local
treatments he deems advisable. If
these greenish patches do not appear
the patient is perfectly safe in con-
sidering the case one Of tonsillitis,
and should continue to use the elm
NATIVE measures / have suggested.
One who is subject to acute tom
sillitis may have recurring attacks
several times during the year, pro-
vided he does not study to find the
causes which are especially respon-
sible.
The diet must be corrected so as
to reduce any systemic disorders
caused by hyperacidity of the
stomach.
The use Of deep-breathing exer-
cises is especially to be recommended
to one who has tendency to either
chronic or acute throat troubles.
These exercises may be taken with
advantage when one is taking his
daily walk.
One of the simplest ways to learn
how to breathe deeply is to run a
few steps every block or two and
thus induce a natural deep-breath-
ing. If one will watch how the dia-
phragm works during this enforced
breathing, he will soon learn the
secret of systematic breathing exer-
cises.
In tomorrow's article I will ex-
plain more about the cure of chronic
tonsillitis.
Questions and Answers
Question: Mrs. C. H. writes:
'Will you kindly tell me how to re-
duce the upper arms ?"
Answer: Any kind of arm exer-
cises will reduce the fat on your
arms. The best ones to take are
those requiring reasonable amount
of muscular tension and, at the
same time, these exercises should be
used rapidly and with vigor. Prob
ably the best plan would be to pur.
chase one of the "chest weight exer-
cisers" which you can secure from
any sporting goods store. This APP
paratus is attached to the wall, and
the exercises are taken by raising
and lowering the weights which are
attached to handles by ropes running
over pulleys. Also, buy booklet
describing how to take these exer-
cises. This booklet can usually be
purchased in the same store where
the apparatus is sold.
Question: Mrs. Albert J. asks:
Speaking dietetically, is it ever
advisable to use any kind Of bread
stuff with a meal containing either
potatoes or meat"
Answer: Genuine whole-wheat
crackers or mullins may be used in
a limited quantity with either pro-
TEN (meat, etc., or starchy foods.
(potatoes, etc., by those in good
health. This seems to be an excep-
ton to the general rules regulating
the use of proteins and starches..
Bear in mind, however, that say
proteins or starches-not proteins
and starches, meaning for instance,
that potatoes and meat should not
be used together.
| Question: Mrs. LMJ. asks: It's
there any cure for incipient tuber-
culosis ?"
j Answer: Incipient tuberculosis
is durable if the proper methods are
used-even advanced cases can u.s.
ually be cured if every habit Of the
patient can be controlled. If you
will send your name and address I
will be glad to send you some
articles on the subject which I have
