Your Health,
The First Concern.
TRY THIS FOR YOUR COLD.
The next time you have a cold an-
alyze your diet and see if you haven’t
for some time been on the diet that
is too high in acid-ash foods—breads,
cereals, pastries, flesh foods, eggs.
Dr. Volney Cheney, medical direct-
or of a large industrial concern, made
an intensive study of the colds of the
employees of the concern. He found
that in every case there was a change
of the chemical condition of the blood.
There was a lessening of the alkali
reserve, so that there was a mild ac-
idosis. A mild acidosis can be caused
by a diet that is too high in the acid-
ash foods.
The doctor began te-treat his pa-
tients with a cold, in the beginning,
by giving them doses of sodium bi-
carbonate (ordinary baking soda) an
alkali. In every case, the cold was
aborted. He didn’t state the dosage;
probably it differed with each person.
The doses of bicarbonate of soda giv-
en in the Materia Medica is 5 to 25
grains. That is about 1-12 to # dram
(a dram is approximately one level
teaspoonful). The bicarbonate of soda
is given in seltzer, vichy or water,
two or three times a day.
If you have a cold, you might try
this. However, you should also im-
mediately go on a diet which has no
.acid-ash foods; that would mean that
you would have to eliminate the foods
that I have mentioned, and confine
your diet to vegetables, milk, cheese,
nuts and fruits (with the exception of
prunes, plums and cranberries which
have a slight acdi-ash). You should
always have a diet that is higher in
these alkali foods, anyway, because
this mild acidosis seems to lower the
resistance to all sorts of trouble.
THE MORE ABUNDANT LIFE.
That our bodies begin wearing out
at the age of 12, is the startling be-
lief which Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk,
.director of the Life Extension Insti-
tue of New York, a few years ago
reached as the result of his life-long
study of old age.
If your mirror, madam, reveals
gray hair and crowsfeet, blame not
-your having passed the age of 40.
Old age imprinted its withering kiss
“in childhood though the mark of its
.cold lips was long in showing.
Why do men and women begin to
grow old when they are little more
than half-matured?
Mediral science hesitates to answer;
no two experts agree on why the
death rate of young people has been
reduced in the past 30 years while
that of people over 25 has increased.
The Rubner school physiologists
maintains that death is a natural hap-
pening—like the fall of withered
leaves in autumn. From the observa-
tions of Dr. Fisk it appears that our
leaves are withering and falling dead
in the summer time.
Of men between 21 and 31 called
up under the draft, 38 per cent were
rejected on account of physical de-
“fects. Old age had already sunk its
talons into 38 out of every 100 of our
manhood.
The doctors figured that more than
half of these physical defectives were
the victims of carelessness, ignorance
and lack of physical training—in their
youth.
How ve ean check this increasing
“tendency of people to die at the age
which should be their very prime?
“The late Prof. Metchinok, the butter-
milk champion, led the scientists who
“believe we could all live to be 150 by
correct eating. Metchnikoff died at
71,
Old a~e is more than a problem of
“buttermilk, bran bread, and gymna-
siums. Its causes are worry, over-
work, nervous strain, dissipation and
occupational poisons.
Alcohol dissipation is one of our
chief assassins. Numerous other part-
ners of death are in our social sys-
-tem. That means they can be fought
- —conquered.
We have said that the causes of
our physical frailty are inherent in
our social system and we do not mean
to withdraw the statement. It is
true, even if not the whole truth.
But the truth has another, a spir-
jtual side. After we have abolished
child labor, after we have made mines
and factories and workshops uniform-
ly safe and healthful, after we have
established a larger degree of social
justice and freed the honest and faith-
ful worker from the haunting specter
of sickness and old-age dependence,
human life may still languish unless
we remember that man lives not by
bread alone.
The body exerts a constant and im-
portant effect upon the mind and if
abused or neglected drags down and
suffocates the mind. But neglect or
abuse the mind and (even more im-
portant than mind) the soul or moral
and spiritual nature, and you no long-
er have either a healthy man or even
a man at all. You have a mere brute,
less powerful physically than the gor-
illa and as insignificant otherwise.
The heavy muscled prize-fighter who
has no intellectual or spiritual devel-
opment lives shallowly and does not
live long.
The body is only a servant. The
soul, as Dr. Saleeby (a celebrated
London physician) says in his book
on “Health and Happiness,” is the
master. Man, is a spirit, and only
as he lives in the moral and spiritual
world, does he know nobility, truth,
righteousness, and beauty, and live
deep. The body left to bodily satis-
factions is cheated of its rightful
nourishment, and like a mateless bird
soon pines itself away.
