This dentist goes on to say that he believes the decay of teeth, especially at the roots, and accumulation of tartar upon the teeth, is directly due to indigestion. That a continual disturbance of the stomach will destroy the teeth. I believe this to be true. Therefore, if one wishes to have sound teeth he should not only care for them locally with a good, vigorous brushing, but he should be careful about taking hot or cold things into the mouth, or biting things needlessly, like biting off threads, cracking nuts and the like. He should, also, by proper diet and proper abstinence from food, keep his stomach and digestive organs in good condition. A Matter of Doctors. "There were two sisters living in a certain town," said a good story-teller, "who warred constantly about the two great schools of medicine. One pinned her faith to Allopathy and the other to Homeopathy. "One day there was great excitement in the family of the lady who believed in Allopathy and it was soon announced that she was the mother of bouncing twin boys. "The other sister came down in a hurry. 'Well,' she said, 'now see what's happened. I wanted you to have a Homeopathic doctor. After this I guess you will listen to me."" For Sciatica. Stretching the large nerve of the leg is sometimes very effective. At first a simple method of stretching may be resorted to, as follows: The patient is laid on the back on a hard couch or table. The affected leg is flexed on the hip by raising the leg upward. Each time the treatment is given more and more force should be used, until the knee is forced against the chest of the patient. This strikes the sciatic nerve of the upper leg and may be sufficient for a cure; if not, a surgeon should be called. To Remove Hair. As I have frequently said, there is nothing in the line of drugs that will permanently remove hair. But it frequently happens that it is desirable to remove obnoxious hair even though it can not be taken off to stay. A good formula to remove hair is made as follows: Sulphate stronium, two drams; oxide of zinc and pulverized starch, of each three drams. These are to be mixed and applied with enough warm water to make a paste DR. JOHN D. MILES, DIVINE HEALING. Present or absent treatments.

INVESTMENT With Health and Happiness Included In the mad chase for dividend dollars the average individual entirely loses sight of the all-important fact that money made at the expense of health is money LOST many times over. I offer an investment opportunity that will return you not 6 per cent. or 10 per cent., but 1000 per cent. or more, giving you vigorous health, and health insurance for life. At no expense to you, I will analyze your physical balance sheet, and tell you the worth of your most important asset: your health. Then, if you wish, for a modest fee I will show you how, by selecting and combining your foods to meet the chemical requirements of your body, you can acquire and maintain normal health and vigor until you die of old age alone, like the "one-hoss shay"; full of efficiency up to your last minute. Consider what this means from a financial standpoint only: the saving of bills for medical treatment, surgeon's fees, drugs, etc., for years, will alone show 1000 per cent. profit on the original investment. Then think of the indirect cash value of the increased usefulness, happiness, and success that result from complete, continuous health. Here is a case in point.

The flannel fades and keeps my flesh red. I perspire so much that it is very disagreeable. I was informed that the flannel would absorb the moisture so that I would not be chilled when the air strikes me, but I cannot see that it does. I wish to take it off if it is not necessary to wear it. I also want to ask you some other questions. 1. As train oil will limber joints when used on leather, will it be helpful to stiff joints caused from pain? 2. Will an ointment made of pig's feet oil and camomile flowers be useful for stiff joints? 3. About what amount of water should 1 drink in a day?-M. A. R., Alabama. Answer: Wear underclothes that are the most agreeable to you. I should think red In writing to advertisers, please mention Of all fabrics, woolen would be intolerable. In reply to your other questions, I will 2. Never heard of pig's feet oil and camomile flowers being used as you suggest, but should think they would be all right. The Greatest Absorbent Remedy of the Age. The Philosophy of Absorption. Every atom of the Human Body comes from the Earth, and is homogeneous with the Earth. There is a constant diffusion of the fluids of the body through the glands and this is called osmosis. If the exposed flesh of a healthy person, A, should be brought in contact with the poisoned flesh of a diseased person, B, the poison and disease will pass to the healthy person A and with probably fatal results. If a substance can be found of such a homogenous and active nature that it can take the place of the healthy subject A and draw out and absorb the disease and poison from the diseased subject B it would be the greatest triumph of Modern Science. Think what this would mean to humanity. The cure of disease by removing the cause. Invalids made well without taking poisonous drugs and without the tortures of the knife. After years of patient investigation, this has all been accomplished and is within the reach of all in the Wonderful Toxo-Absorbents. (Poison Absorbers.) A pure Virgin Mineral has been discovered with materials like the human body. It is found hundreds of feet below the surface. When warmed above the normal heat of the body, it has the power of drawing out and absorbing the germs and poisons which are the cause of disease and giving back the atoms which rebuild and restore the wasted tissues. The most wonderful cures are reported and whole communities are using this to the exclusion of drugs and operations. Hundreds of cases pronounced incurable have been promptly cured. The Toxo-Absorbent can be relied upon to do even more than is claimed for it and the most wonderful cures are reported every day. It is pronounced everywhere The Greatest Miracle of Nature. Cancers, Tumors, Ulcers, Goiters and abnormal growths have yielded promptly to this treatment. Scrofula, Erysipelas, Bone Diseases and all Blood Poisons have been treated with perfect success. If life and health are dear to you, send for the free books on absorption. THE TOXO-ABSORBENT CO., 575 Query No. 5: Do you believe that colonflushing would relieve me? Answer: I doubt very much whether colonflushing would correct intestinal indigestion. In the first place, because the small intestines are sure to be involved, and are almost invariably involved much more than the colon. In the colon the fluid contents of the bowels gradually disappear, leaving a cheesy and hardened mass, which does not often create auto-intoxication. There are conditions of the colon, however, in which flushing is very salutary, but I feel sure that flushing the colon would not reach such a case as I judge yours to be. Colon-flushing at best can only reach the descending and transverse colon. The hepatic flexure of the colon is apparently greatly distended in your case, causing a fullness and tenderness of the right side, extending toward the middle of the abdomen. Query No. 6: Is there any remedy which you can recommend for stomach and intestinal trouble? Answer: I would place an appropriate diet at the head of the list of remedies. I have advocated buttermilk a great many years, and it is now coming into prominence, I am glad to say, as a preventive of bowel fermentation. A great many medicinal remedies are useful, no doubt. I have a tablet composed of pure lithia salts which I find applicable In writing to advertisers, please mention to some cases. I should place vocation as second on the list-a vocation that requires outdoor exercise every day, without causing too much fatigue, and exercises in which the mind is exercised as well as the body. The third in importance would be medicinal and other forms of treatment. I have no confidence in electricity in such cases. Drink more, breathe more, eat less. Every day eat raw vegetables, such as tomatoes, cabbage, onions, radishes, celery and the like. Health Without Drugs.

L., No. 118 East Liberty Street, Cincinnati, O. THE COLUMBUS MEDICAL JOURNAL. Query: My little boy had a very bad cold last week, was stopped up with his breathing, and has a cough. I would like to know what would be a good cough syrup, for him.-Mrs. R. K., Ohio. Answer: A good cough syrup for your little boy can be made by putting two fresh eggs into a pint of strong vinegar, and letting them remain there until the vinegar has dissolved the shell entirely. Then beat up the eggs in the vinegar, and add one pint of water and one pound of loaf sugar. Before you add the water or sugar, you had better strain the vinegar and eggs, so as to get out the white membrane next to the shell. This will make an excellent cough syrup. It is perfectly harmless, and is nourishing to his nervous system. The dose is one teaspoonful, which may be given midway between meals and at bedtime. Another dose can be given in the night, if he should be troubled with coughing. Send For Our FREE BOOK Query: Has a doctor any right by law to enter a home and vaccinate children without the consent of parents? If a law, when was such a law enacted?-Mr. M. A., Ohio. Answer: No, a doctor has no right to enter a home to vaccinate children without the consent of the parents. There never was such a law, but the doctors do not need laws always to warrant them in doing things. They have been in the habit of riding over the people so long that they think they can do anything they choose. Once in a good while they strike a man they cannot scare, then tl.ey back down. If you keep your children out of school there is no law compelling you to have them vaccinated. In writing to advertisers, please mention THE COLUMBUS MEDICAL JOURNAL. |
