in the treatment of diabetes or any other condition.
 Any physician who is experie <ed In the use of insulin for diabetes knows that 1t is perfectly safe to give any one moderate doses of in- sulin. provided tho patient is in- structed about taking some food along with a doso or soon after ward.
 Insulin shock, or hypoglycemia, sometimes occurs where large dose of insulln is given and the pa tient fails to take some food with 1t or soon afterward. In certain cases of diabetes, where the pa- tient's diet is restricted, this is risk which requires vigilance on the part of the physicians and a modi- cum of intelligence on the part of the patient. In ordinary circum- stances, however, where there Is no diabetes, merely nutritional deh- ciency, insulin shock simply does not happen.
 I have had reports from hum dreds of underweight readers who are delighted with the gain they have made under insulln treatment.
 By the way, 1t should be of in- terest to all underweight individ- uals, whether they receive insulin treatment or not, that Q liberal in- take of vltamin B has an effect comparable with Q moderate dose of insulln, after you have taken the vitamin B for several weeks.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Giddlness
 know 1t Is common and nothing serious, but curiosity prompts mo to ask what is the "blackness" one sometimes feels right after getting up from q sitting or recumbent po- sition, often accompanied with c tingllng sensation as when a foot or arm "goes to sleep". (R. M.)
 Answer-Any one may feel such glddiness for a moment on suddenly getting up from bed or from Q chair. If 1t is too troublesome 1t bespeaks inefficient circulation, hCBitGt VI uatiy tAtIGldts ONGIedt~ ing, shortage of vitamin c, or ane- mia.
 Condiments
 What food valuo Is there in pep per, spices and condiments? Are they necessary for health, strength and "pep"? (M. A.)
 Answer-They have no food val ue. They arc not essential for health, strength or pep. They sometimes serve to stimulate Q poor appetite. They act as carmin- atlves, slight irritants to the stom. ach and secondarily to the genito- urinary tract. The practice of dous- ing mustard, pepper, hot sauces on food which Is in itself not appealing to appetite, accounts for a great deal of bad health and bad behav- for. Occasional use of condiments Is perfectly healthful, but abuse of such stimulants is akin to alcohol ism, indeed 1t probably exciets the craving for alcohol In many in- stances.

 Interference
 Sister expects baby in a month. Her doctor who is (not 8 regular physician) wants to induce labor two weeks before term. He says the last two weeks a baby only puts on fat (Mrs. D. D.) .
