HOMELY REMEDY FOR IRK-
SOME HABIT


Enuresis, doctors call It, pro-
nouncing 1t n-u-ree-sis. It is more
farniliarly called bed-wetting. A
normal occurrence or habit In In
fancy, Of course. Some infants
learn or acquire sufflcient control
over the function Of micturition to
become dry before they are two
years old. But many babies con-
tinue to wet the bed more or less
until they are three years old, and
that cannot be considered abnor-
NAL. That is, there Is no occasion
for any kind OF treatment or
special concern II the baby does
not cease wetting the bed until
three years Of age. II the habit
continues after that age, then
treatment Is advisable.
l say the habit. Parents and
others should comprehend clearly
that wetting the bed in childhood
Is not a weakness" nor an illness,
but In most instances merely q
habit, over which the child has no
more control than an adult has
over, say, the constipation habit
It takes an eloquent psychologist
to convince the average victim Of
the latter habit that 1t Is only o
habit.
I wrote asking for your mono
graph on bed wetting, received It
and sent 1t to friend whose fine
boy Of fifteen was afflicted, reports
Mrs. H. r. D. The boys mother
had been told by the doctor In the
small town where they live that the
boy would never get over 1t. How
ever, she began giving him quinine
as you suggested In the monograph,
and 1t did the trick. He is now 1914
years old, growing quite tall, doing
fine In school, and only once In
great while for a year has the ac-
cident happened.
Quinine sulphate, one grain, in
capsule, pill or tablet, twice daily,
before or after breakfast and sup
per, for children under six years
of age; three times daily for chill
dren over eight years OF age. This
should be continued steadily for
several months.
The effects Of quinine have been
equally satisfactory in many cases
Of bed wetting In children. Quinine
helps to restore normal tone to the
irritable nerve-muscle apparatus Of
the bladder emptying function. 1t
tones the inhibitory nerve center In
the spinal cord which controls mic
turition.
1t will do no harm to try the
quinine treatment In any case OF
bed wetting. But parents should
send a stamped envelope bearing
the correct address and ask for the
monograph or pamphlet on the
habit Of bed wetting. It gives other
suggestions as to the character of
the chiid's diet, drinking water,
correcting the common deficiency
Of calcium and vitamin d, and a
clock schedule for the child to fol-
low to train the bladder function
to regularity.

Eggs Excellent Food
Have habit OF eating six raw eggs
every night. Is this harmful?
Answer = II you prefer eggs raw
1t Is all right, but eggs cooked IN
whatever way one likes are rather
more digestible and nourishing, for
a small part of the raw albumen
may pass through the ailmentary
tract undigested, whereas coagulated
(cooked) 1t Is more likely to be COM
pletely digested. Only reason why
raw egg sometimes prescribed for in

New curtain materials of glass fiber

personal reply.
@. How should one go about
training a child to control MS
bladder?
A. Training should begin when
the baby Is ten months old. 1t takes
longer to teach a baby to control
his bladder than his bowels, but the
method Is the same. The baby
should be given the chamber regu-
larly, at first once an hour while
awake, and gradually the periods
should be heightened. Some simple
word should be used each time he is
given the chamber so that he may
associate the word with the act, and
learn to use 1t himself little later.
Most babies should learn daytime
control OF the bladder by the time
they are two years Of age, and also
should indicate his need. Putting
on training" pants instead Of dia-
pers soon as he can stand will help
in his training. The child should
be given an opportunity to urinate
on going to bed, and again at ten
o'clock, or whenever the mother
goes to bed. Frequently If the child
Is slow to urinate when placed on
the toilet the act may be suggested
by letting water run from the faucet
or pouring a glass of water into a
basin.

ers singing 1t at their work have
reached far more people.
1t may have been a play to
which the children were taken so
in years after they could say
they had seen great artist. But
still there remained the haunting
memory OF something wonder
fully fine.
Depend on it, the seeds of real
enthusiasm for the greatest and
best should be sown In the spring
for, summer or fall blooming.
OF course, 1t often happens that
performances to classical leave
no impact or gripping memory on
which to build.
Art In any form should be pre-
sented to children as much as
possible through the medium they
will understand and be interested
in.
