 Calcium Lactate And So Forth For Hay Fever And Asthma Whenever I sustain a particular
 ly hard crack look up at the por--
 trait of the beloved T. R. and pretty soon I'm ready to fight back. Whenever I get a testimonial I look at another portrait over my
 work bench and wonder. This one lis John J. Coincidence. Johns only | comment is generally something | akin to Bronx cheer.
 A testimonial really isn't worth a hoot so far as proving anything is concerned. But I'm printing this one today for a purpose. hope to get the attention of many readers who have taken calcium lactuate for one thing or another, and I hope they will tell me what their experience with the medicine has
 been. In the course of the years I have suggested this harmless rem edy for all sorts of troubles, as 1t might seem to be uninitiated, but always there has been reason be- hind it. Some of the conditions are hyperesthetic rhinitis-that's real ly a highbrow and exclusive mal- ady and you common folk need not bother about it-asthma, hay fever. migraine, hives, angioneurot- ic edema-that's another rather
 swanky complaint which, in ordin- ary language is known as giant
 hives. Then I blush to find from Tipping over the files, that I have recommended calcium lactuate for food sensitization and even for
 rheumatism. That is, of course I didn't suggest it for rheumatism myself, for if I did some bright reader might immediately ask how come at last admit there is such a thing as rheumatism. I just quoted report of a physician in Germany who praised calcium lac- tate as fine for neuritis. neuralgia, rheumatism m everything. The testimonial comes from a woman reader:
 Wrote several months ago and told you I was treating my husband for what physicions called hay fever and asthma, with cod liver oil, iodin and
 calcium lactate. I have kept this treatment up nearly two years now. Where he used to
 have an attack every week, lasting for three or four days, the interval stretched out to
 two weeks and then month,
 with the attacks lasting only day. Now I begin to hope he is cured, for it is nearly three
 months since his last attack and that was a very light one"
 That reminds me, I have sug- gested that the assimilation of caf- ctum is promoted by daily ration
 of cod liver oil, oh, say. a table, spoonful daily, and also by daily exposure of the naked skin to sun light. So far all scientific observa- tion supports me. But now it just
 my notion, for which I have no scientific support, that suitable
 iodin ration also promotes the util-
 ization of the calcium, and for child or an adult a suitable iodin ration, still in my opinion merely,
 is oned TOD of tincture of iodin in
 a drink of water daily for a north
 in each of the four seasons of the year-saw the months of Novem-
 Der, February. May and August. Or if you prefer take a drop twice
 a week the year around.
 We are only beginning to learn about the metabolism of calcium. There is considerable evidence that ductless gland functions, particu-
 larly the parathyroid gland, control or regulate the calcium metabolism and there is also some evidence
 that certain vitamins in turn infiu-
 ence the functional activity of ductless glands It is all pretty
 complicated, and if I were you I'd just take calcium lactate for a while an dget plenty of sunshine and greens and fresh vegetables and see what comese Of it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Stunned
 When I saw an automobile hit pedestrian was so stunned and
 shocked I didn't know. what to do for the victim. Please tell me just
 how to act in such emergencies,
 or direct me to.a source. (N. H.) Answer = Take course of in- struction in first aid in one of the series given periodically by local chapters of the Red Cross. Or ap- ply to the public library on first aid and read the general instruc- tions.
 Queer Drug Store When tried to get the vitamin and mineral preparation you rec commended, our druggist said he
 had it but it was just passing
 fad and he could not sell it to me
 .. (Mrs. I. P.)
 Answer-There are queer folks in all trades. Some druggists do not
 keep things their customers want.
 Others do not sell them. This prep aration, being food, is harmless.
