treatment is given or as soon thereafter as the necessary skilled service may be available.
 Unfortunately for many victims of the idea there is Q popular be- lief that certain salves or other local remedies will prevent scar. Some of the peculiar remedies the old wives suggest for the purpose may do no harm except to prevent or postpone the necessary skilled treatment, but others are directly responsible for irritation which re. tards the natural healing and hence causes increased scar formation.
 The healing of any burn, wound, boil, sore or injury necessarily in- wolves scar formation. The amount of scar and the chance of disfigure- ment may be kept at c minimum only by skilled surgical care from the earliest possible moment.

 What is the Lest way to remove acid from the body? My sisters sys- tenn is very acid, as Q black tarnish forms on the rims of her glasses and on the bows behind the ears. She has stopped eating grapefruit.
 (Miss Fl. O.
 Answer-The black discoloration is 6 sulflde of the base metal in the gold alloy-perhaps silver sulfide. It is no indication of acid In the sys- tenn, and in any case grapefruit and other citrus fruits are not yespon. sible for any acidity-fruit acids ale ways tend to prevent acidity in the system.

 Hay Fever
 Kindly advise diet for my husband who has been affected with hay fever for several seasons. (H. R.)
