WELL, WELL, A CURED PATIENT
 ADMITS IT

Listening in to one of Aimees testimonial meetings where, singularly enough, all the GUS toners have previously tired only resuiar Hea sx icai treatment-and that in neck Of the woods where it is hard to find regular pnysi. cia pfor the hordes of irregulars milling about -one is reminded of a quirk Of human nature We delight to tell the world of our cure II there is anything unorthodox about the remedy or treatment If cured by a regular doctor or by orthodox methods, we prefer To forget 1t.
 But here comes lady who has been cured of Raynaud's disease and doesn't mind admit ting it. notwithstanding the fact that her cure was brought about by common garden dpctors with strictly scientific methods.
 "In your column recently, she writes,
 read an article written by a woman who said she had noticed that twice in one day her fingers had turned a dead white and there seemed no life in them till she put them Tn
 hot water, which brought the circulation back. Your reply was that the condition IS
 known Dead Fingers or Raynauds al. lection and that you knew of no other rehef but the hot water treatment or heat in other forms.
 q just want to say that too was sufferer from Raynauds disease, so much so that
 had two gangrene ulcers on my feet. October
 g. 1928 I had an operation, Lumbar Sym
 pathetic Ganglionectomy performed py DTS Drs
 health and my feet have been perfect ever since.
 If anyone else writes to you suffering with this disease kindly refer them to these doc tors at such and suchc address
 The removal of the sympathetic ganglion (sometimes called "sympathectomyo IS now frequently resorted to- as a means of relief for Raynauds affection In most cases 1t gives highly satisfactory results.
 Other suggestions which have come from readers who are victims of the trouble are:
 Diathermy treatment, with oneelectrode op the arm of the sympathetic ganglion and the other on the limb involved, has given consider able relief.
 Tn cases where the attacks occur at night patients find they can get a good nights rest by wearing on the affected foot or hand suit able tent cover with an ordinary 25 watt cleo tric light bulA burning all night, top rovide moderate warmth.
 In few cases the exciting cause of Ray nauds disease seems to be mild chronic arsenic poisoning, from domestic occupational ex- posture to arsenic in one form or another. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
