The obsessions the reader de-
scribes were originally conceived In
good faith by well-meaning but ig-
norant doctors, ignorant of physi-

notions as mainstays of their busi-

standard book form 1t might have
greater appeal for many victims OF
the habit. But after all, what there
Is to say on the subject is said IN
the dinky pamphlet you could carry
In your purse without bullying no
ticeably, and anyway the confirmed
habitue will not get the idea unless
he or she reads the booklet through

times. Even then good many who
have had those obsessions for years
will be unable to grasp the truth.
1t Is not easy to get out Of rut

A weakness Of the involuntary
muscle Of the CASTRO intestinal tract
and weakness in the autonomic
or sympathetic nerve mechanism
which regulates or controls the d.
gestive processes throughout the
length Of the alimentary tract, Is
due to certain vitamin deficiencies,
particularly 3, q and d. and prob
ably accounts for good deal of
simple constipation or sluggishnesS
of the digestive processes. To cor
rect this deficiency 1t is a good plan
to supplement the daily diet with
irradiatc ! yeast tablets, taking two
to four such tablets three times a
day, or six to twelve with break
fast every morning, chewed along
with other food or swallowed as
tablets. Such a daily ration Of vita
Minis B. G and D will steadily i'm
prove digestion, assimilation and
the nutrition of the whole body, and
this gives greater self-confidencc
to the addict in the struggle to re-
gain freedom from the habit.

Whenever your child becomes
sick, has high fever and pain in
the throat, and seems dull and
apathetic, a doctor should be called
Immediately. He will examine the
cinild's throat, as well as his gen.
eral condition, and determine
whether he has diphtheria, a throat
infection. or some other condition,
since the symptoms which mark the
onset of most infectious childhood
diseases are, TO an unframed eye,
apparently the same.
The membrane created by the
diphtheria germ In the throat is
characteristic of that infection.
There occasionally are severe strep-
tococci Infections which will pro-
duce q somewhat similar white
membrane.
Unless diphtheria Is brought
promptly under control, its men,
brane will spread TO the whole
throat and even TO the palate and
nose.
1t has foul odor which Is rather
characteristic Of diphtheria; in fact.
many an old-time doctor used to be
able to diagnose the disease simply
by its odor.
As the membrane spreads, germs
form in greater numbers and more
Of their poison gets into the blood
stream and affects the body as a
whole.
II O doctor Is convinced by the
appearance Of the membrane that
the disease Is diphtheria, he will
not await the health department
report, but will Immediately inject
sufiicient antitoxin 10 have def
mite effect on the disease.
Once 1000 TO 5000 units OF an
titoxin were considered a SUFFICIENT
first dose; nowadays, most doctors
give 10000 units Of antitoxin i'm
mediateiy and, In severe cases, as
many as 10000 or 10000 units as
first injection. There Is o far
greater danger Of death, oftvarious
forms of paralysis, or Of serious
complications from this disease
than from any excess amount OF an
titoxin used in the treatment.
The doctor will continue TO use
antitoxin In the treatment as long
MS the symptoms persist and the
disease seems to be making head
way. In most cases Of dlphtheria,
the proper use Of antitoxin Is the
most significant measure OF treat

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 90
U.P)-A revival of hydraulic min

foreseen today as a result of Pres

halt the muddy flow induced by
hydraulic operations and permit
a resumption of that kind of min
ing which was common in the

where to resume hydraulic opera
tions as soon as the dams are con-
structed.
