TEACHINGS FOR TEACHERS
 TO REACH

TO REACH
 The geographic centre of the United States is somewhere in west central Kansas. The populat ton centre at present, I estimate, should be 35 miles northwest of Shawnee town, Ill. Here is a letter from the intelligence centre of the country: Dear Doctor Brady:
 I have read your daily lessons for over several years, have filed a great number and use them, and have found them enpoyable read- ing, humorous, clear, concise, re- liable, reasonable and practical"
 Let's take time out while I blush. Of course every one of the adjec- tives the correspondent applies to my little lessons in the ways of health pleases me, for I rool many of somersault here in my playroom trying to make them and keep them just so. Also of course receive plenty of criticisms which make my face red, but from another emotion: dashes of acid on my feeble attempts at humor.
 "Many of your teachings have become part of my daily life. For example, l air-bathe while shaving, enjoy Brady coffee, use wheat-germ and irradiated yeast, provide Brady-pioneered humid ity in our home during the sea- son of artificial heating, shun cri- victims, use quinine for prophy- laxis, practice belly breathing, and possess fund of knowledge of physiology and hygiene I would not have and enjoy were there oil Doctor Bradyp"
 What, no somersaults? No daily setting-up exercise? No Iodin Ra- tion2 No keys to vite? Now we come to the important part of the correspondents letter.
 "As a teacher, commend your stand that American schools with hold vital knowledge from young people. Algebra still substitutes for physiology. Occasionally I have opportunities to retail your teach- ings in my high school classes, and in every instance I am struck with the pupils interest and their desire to learn. The first sneeZe and cough In each class occasions @ presenta- ton of the facts about the range of cough, sneeze and conversational spray droplets. Each vacation time l pull the hand from under the cheek to show them why the correct Schafer (prone pressure) method is more efficient than the modified prone pressure method taught by so many lay or seni-medical agen- cies. But 1t is only 0 voice in the wilderness.
 Redouble your effort: 8 series of articles addressed to high school students would find them appre- ciative learners, I know, and might start 8 fire under the administra- tors.
 With best wishes to a great teacher,
 Yours sincerely, .... ..,,..,. ,.','''''
 Look out above and so long be- low. I'll be seeing you in 8 week or two when I come down to earth again.
 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Women Have Hernia
 It does not seem to be generally known among the public that wo.- men have hernias. Both men and women patients of mine have ex- pressed surprise when they learned that I treat women for hernia. Women have inguinal, femoral, unn- bilical, ventral, and most common of aH, post-operative hernias, and they respond rather better on the whole than men do to anibulant treatment. (M.D)
 Answer -- Thank you, Doctor. Readers with hernia should send for monograph on Hernia-inclose stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
