QUESTIONS. ANSWERS

d. B. Does the tannin or
tannic acid in tea give an acid
or alkaline reaction in the
body? Tea is green leaf and
should be alkaline. "
Answer: Tannin is an astrin-
gent only in the m u [ h and
stomach. 1t. however, produces
slight acid reaction in dhe
body. But tea or coffee would
not be the same without tannin;
the best teas and coffees have
the most tannin.
II. DIS electrolysis perma-
nent? Is it painful and does it
leave scars ?"
Answer: The amount OF salts
faction derived from electrolysis
depends entirely on the skill Of
the operator. About 10 or Is
per cent of occurrences is inev-
liable. Pain is hardly noticeable
with skillful handling. Soaring
occurs, but is the result Of inn
perfect technique.

which are on the extremities
and liable to exposure and are
also the greatest distance from
the heart so that the circulation
is not maintained-it may af-
feet any part of the skin.
The factor which enters into
its production is change in
environmental temper ture,
which has a direct effect on the
peripheral circulation. Naturally
the feet and hands which are
furthest away from the heart
are most likely to be affected by
these changes.
LIKELY TO RECUR
All symptoms of chilblain are
increased in severity during Fall
and Winter, and when an attack
has once occurred. it is liable to
come back Winter after Winter.
Certain people, it is we'll
known, are particularly sensi-
tive to sudden changes in tenn
perature-it need not be a freez-
ing temperature and these
people are the ones who suffer
from pernio.
1t has a tendency to occur in
the early Fall and is most
likely to occur in females
probably due TO greater expo
sure of their bodies.
SYMPTOMS OF PERNIO
On the skin. pernio is charac-
terized by raised, red areas
ranging in size from a pin-point
area to several square inches.
The involved skin appears to be
In a state of chronic inflamma-
lien and feels cold to the touch.
IT is tender and has tendency
to break open and weep as long
as cold weather persists.
The imperative thing in
treatment is protection of the
patient from all cold elements.
Warm clothing which completely
protects the sensitive parts. the
feet, hands, arms and legs is
the first consideration.
However, after the disease
manifests itself, excessive
warmth produces discomfort and
pain. and heat should be applied
moderately. Daily cool baths,
gradually lowering the tempera-
ture are Of great value.
AN UNUSUAL CASE
In managing these patients Il
is important TO restore and i'm
prove their circulation by means
of passive vascular exercise such
as on the Sanders bed, and hav-
i ing them do exercises which al
ternately raise and lower the
feet so as TO open up channels
of circulation.
An unusual example of pernio
is reported by Doctors Sheaffer
and Sanders of my own city in a
woman who had inflammation
OF the skin of the legs and arms
and also of the feet and hands.
So severe did the case become
that the patient was required to
remain In a warm room from
November Is to February II.
This seems very extreme but in
severe cases shows what may be
necessary.

She was conscious suddenly of soft

Campaspe was never quite sure.
All the next week passed. with
hardware letters filling Campaspe's
days and loneliness her nights. There
was no word, no sign from Tom
Burton. Not that she thought there
would be, after she'd seen the paper.
She wondered whether she should
write him note of apology for her
impulsive cooking orgy in his kitchen,
then she thought that letting the
whole silly matter die was probably
the wiSest thing she could do.
But the following Friday night she
received telegram which made the
little vein in her throat throb pain
fully. 1t said:
Found something in apartment
that belongs to you. Not sure you
want it. Please be there Saturday
at five to see - Tom Burton
Campaspe racked her brains, trying
to figure out what she might have left
behind. Maybe some important paper
that had slipped behind the desk
drawers But why couldn't Tom Burton
have phoned her? She looked at the
telegram again and saw that it had
been sent from Sacramento.
She dressed very carefully the next
afternoon. She dreaded the ordeal
ahead of her Because if Tom Burton
was married now, it would seem just
too much to have to face his wife

Sam left, and Campaspe stood hesi-

what she should do. and why Tom

asked her to be here.
Then she walked into the living
