Answer-The surgeon is the
best judge of how long a patient
should refrain from working
after a hernia REPAIR. Patients
are usually kept in bed for at
least two weeks, but when the
repair Is of a previous hernia, it
usually requires q longer time
for healing. The use of a spinal
anaesthetic has no influence.
r. W.-Our children do not
eat vegetables so well. Are raw
vegetables as good for them as
the cooked ones. such as carrots,
cabbage. potatoes, celery, to-
matoes and the like?
Answer-Very few children
like vegetables. They are more
or less Of an acquired taste.
Childhood days are made hor-
rible by food faddists who insist
on children's eating vegetables.
Raw vegetables are just as good
for them as the cooked vege-
tables. Meat is very good for
children.

QUESTIONS. ANSWERS

A. C.-After the surgical re-
pair of a hernia, how long should
the patient refrain from any
heavy work? Would the period
be affected by the fact that the
repair was that Of a previous
hernia, or the use of a spinal
anaesthetic?
