Cures Pin Worms
Several have asked me to repeat
the treatment for pin worms by
means Of gentian violet. "a purple
dyo). 0entian violet Is put up In
Gntef3c coated tablets. q coating
that prevents their digestion until
thoy reach the intestine. Each tab
let contains 80 mig. Of gentian vio-
let. Two such tablets are taken
b. IN adult before each meal, for
olght days. The drug Is then
stopped for seven days and again
resumed for eight days. The re-.
suits cause no discomfort and are
harmless.
Those under the age Of sixteen
can take 10 ing. day for each year
Of age. up to l6. Absolute cleanli-
neas Is necessary to prevent REIN
lection. Tablets with q special
Water-soluble coating which disin.
tegrateS in the intestine in four and
. halt hours afford better results
when obtainable.
Again, what did I suggest as a
remedy for night blindness? A great
deal Of night blindness is due to
lack Of vitamin A. The patient Is
able to see after dark but Is blinded
BY bright lights and it is several
seconds after the light is passed be-
for the vision returns.
Vtamin A can be taken by the
mouth, as this vitamin or carotene
u obtainable in capsules or tablets.
Good effects result in about two
weeks. Night blindness reaches its
peak ct dusk or early night. 1t is
the probable cause of many traffic
accidents at these periods. Five
times - many traff1c accidents oc-
cur ct night than during the day.
Apply Cold Towel
A lady from Michigan says her
four.year -old son has frequent at
tacts Of spasmodic Group which last
from . half hour to three hours.
He VIII have q long interval free
from attacks and then be taken
every night for several nights. She
says ] wrote q column on this SUBJ
ject some time ago. giving some
simple remedy, but she can not
remember what 1t was.
6pasmodic Group is an extremely
alarming condition. The child re-
tires In apparently perfect health
o. perhaps with slight signs of q
cold. At midnight or a little later,
he suddenly sits up in bed gasping
for breath. He has q harsh rasping
cough and q shrill Growing with
each breath.
This Is due to q spasmodic con-
traction If the unnecloc IF tho
larnyx or voice box. A simple Group
r. not dangerous. but frightens
every one In the family. The
simplest and most successful treat
Went u the application Of q towel
Wrung out Of cold we'll or tap water
and placed directly to the throat:
this Is covered with q dry towel.
When the towel becomes warm. re-
peat the cold water.
Within ten or fifteen minutes,
the breathing will become easier
and the child will sink into a sound
deep. Move gently and tuck
warm, dry towel about the neck.
He may waken later with another
attack. and Il almost sure to do so
the next night. Application Of hot
water viii afford the same relief.
q Alternate cold and hot.
\ tablet containing " gr. OF
lodi1ed calcium given every hour
The next day will prevent recur-
renee the next night. Continue as
