 Mental torporl That was no doubt the reason why it never oc. cured to me that your description of the common complaints of per- sons with Iodine deficiency was the very spit and image of myself-con- stant tired feeling and no refresh- ment from rest or vacations, lack of former ambition, bleak and melan- choly outlook, accumulation of stacker flesh, mental torpor, ten- dency to doge off even among cheerful friends and to lie abed too long, and especially poor memory this was 60 noticeable that all my friends wondered if I was getting old prematurely. My comeback since l began taking the Iodine Ra- tion is the occasion of constant amazement and no little envy on the part of my friends. In fact most of the ladies meet these days VOW they are going to begin right away.

 Whoa, Topsyl Now, Ma'am, all I ask of you in return for any benefit you may have received from the Iodine Ration is that you refrain from getting me in wrong with your friends. do hops your alert ness of mind and your memory may have improved enough to make you clearly conscious of. the fact that the Iodine Ration is not medicine, but just food, nutritional material which is essential for health-that is enough to say here, without going into detail for which we haven't space. You and your friends may take the Iodine Ration, If you take 1t at all, wholly upon your own responsibility-I can't say at your own peril because I'm con- vinced there is no peril involved in any instance. But just try to re- member that do not offer any one any assurance or guarantee of any effect from the Iodine Ration. tell what I know and believe about 1t in the pamphlet "The Iodine Ra- tion"-available on written request (no clipping will suffice) if you pro- vide stamped self addressed envel- ope-and it is entirely up to the poor geek who reads the pamphlet to take 1t or let it alone.
 I repeat here what I have said many times before: In my opinion -and I'm still just Q common one horse and Whitfield low sill patent leather dash rubber tired buggy s,sir, genuine cushion tires, too practitioner-in my opinion, for what 1t may be worth to you, every man, woman and growing child in the North American continent who is not or should not be under the care or treatment of @ physciian should take a suitable daily ration of iodine to supplement the inade- quate amount of iodine present in the water, soil and food grown on the soil in most regions of this con- tinent. Furthermore I believe the regular daily intake of an iodine ration as described in my pamphlet can do no harm even if you happen to get enough iodine in the water you drink, the food you eat or the iodized salt you use in place of or- dtnary salt.

 Wait For Me
 Does the milk of cows fed on hay and grain grown on soil with low limestone content, or the meat of pigs fed on corn grown in limestone poor areas, contain less calcium and phosphorus than standards?

 Answer-Huh2 Why bring up such worries? I'm sorry, but I haven't any scientific knowledge, have noticed no studies in nutri- ton literature, and, until now, have assumed that the calcium and phos- phorus content of milk is practice ally constant everywhere. Neither pork nor beef is a significant source of calcium and phosphorus. Milk is the best source of both, for infant, youth, adult or aged person.
 Hospital Spreads Disease
 Believe your advice about having babies at home is good sense. Friends newborn baby broke out with dreadful contagious impetigo in the hospital, and there were sev- eral other cases there at the time.
