“That Body of Yours By "JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. Dangers of Underv eight HILE most individuals whose weight is not within normal lm its, are carrylog too much weight, with the aliments which so often ac ompany it, nevertheless there are a number of underweights who hive con. siderable physical distress and do not realize that underweight Is the cause of this distress, When a meal Is eaten the under- welght individual immediately becomes conscious of this meal; it feels heavy. Any change of position of the body Increases this sense of weight and in some cases actually causes pain. Usually the stomach hangs down too low, as there is no fat to help support it, thus it cannot empty its contents into the small Intestine so readily With some of the food remaining in the stomach when the next meal Is eaten, indigestion with gas pressure pains may follow. Naturally with the weight of meals causing discomfort, and the slowness of tle emptying of the stomach caus ing further discomfort and palin, the individual is IncV'ned to eat even less food than he needs and continues to lose weight. A few years ago operations were performed to hold up the stomach or other organs that were hanging too low In the abdomen. Operations are not a8 frequent now as more scientific methods are being used to fatten up these very thin individuals, They are encouraged to eat the more concentrated foods such as butter, crezm, fat meat, eggs, and to sit down and rest for a few minutes after each meal Comfortable abdominal belts are worn which permit natural breathing. yel hold up the abdomen and its con tents. This removes the “draggy' feeling, and so helps the stomach and intestine that when they squeeze or contract their contents, these contents arg carried along their course with ot having any high hills to climb. In order that all the food will be out of the stomach before the next real is eaten, these thin Individuals whenever possible, lie on the right side for fifteen minutes just before lunch and before dinner. By lying on the right side, any food In the stomach will flow down (nto the small intes tine, leaving the stomach clear and ready for the next meal There are severe cases where the stomach or other organs may bave to be fastened up by operation. » » » The Research Worker T IS certainly gratifying to the med lcal profession and to all others who give the matter thought, to see grate ful patients recognize the difficulties of research workers and endeavor to give them some financial ald Thus, in England, a group of asthma sufferers have completed an organiza tion to ald research physicians who are doing work or the cause and relief of asthma. H. i. Wells, the author, has Invited his fellow sufferers with diabetes to follow the example of the asthma suf fers, and help all workers and institu tions spending their time on diabetes He points out that, thanks to a reg plated diet and to insulin, they are liv- ing active, happy lives, while a few years ago many “would have been un comfortable and dying slowly or al ready dead but for the work of » small group of experimenters and practitioners who have brought this particular maladjustment or disease under control.” Mr. Wells says that diabetics, now financially able to do so, should not only help these research workers but help also those diabetics who are not well enough off to get the diet and Insulin treatment. In other words diabetics in good or falr circum stances should tax themselves for the benefit of all diabetics, When we remember the years de voted to the dietetic control of dia betes by Joslin of Boston and others then the work done by Banting and Best, discoverers of insulin, in Toron to, under the most trying circum stances, with the final refining process of insulin developed by Collip. we can get some idea of the patience and per. severance of practitioners and re search men. As you know, If these men were pald for the lives saved, it would run into many millions of dollars, aside from the happiness achleved and suffering relieved. All that research men ask, In fact, they do not ask for anything; all they would like is that they be supplied with a place and equipment with which to work, and enough to live on. and they are willing to give them: selves to the rellef of the (iis of ho manity. In fact, many of them are doing this without proper equipment, and without resources to actually sup- port themselves, You'll agree that Mr. Wells has done a good plece of work In calling the attention of his fellow sufferers to the need of helping the cause of all diabetics, (Copvriaht. y= WNT Bervies.

She set a precedent for all gold-diggers by coming away from Solomon's court laden with 6,000 wagons of Jewels, perfumes, oils and myrrh, Although Solomon wanted to make her his 762d wife, she was too much of a feminist to relinquish her own kingdom and turned down his pro- posal. Legend has it that after she returned home, she had a child by Solomon. According to Doctor Dun- sinia claims descent from the queen of Sheba's son by Solomon, The Biblical account of the queen's vigit to Solomon affords the best in- sight so far found into her personal This account shows that the queen was among the first of her sex to realize that the brilliant fem- inine conversationalist Is a woman of few words; that expert listening is more effective than talking, The Bible that plied Solomon with hard questions, draw- ing him out and steering his thoughts to that most engrossing of all subjects—himself, Nor was the queen of Sheba above nsing a little well-chosen flattery. Her expertness in that line is shown in the following passage from Serip- ture: “And she sald to the king, It was a true report that I heard In mine own land of thine acts and thy wis. dom, = “Howbelt 1 believed not the words most states she eves had seen it; and behold, the half was not told we: thy and prosperity ex- dih the fame which 1 heard” that the Bible wisdom Ce Small wonder then reports that: “Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever ghe asked” HOME LIFE MAKES STRONGER APPEAL TO MODERN GIRL Ordinarily the much-used ques tionnaire regarding personal matters is not worth but the conclusion reached by a western col lege from replies sent by its coeds to a general Inquiry as to their tions for the future, is so what one would 3u8 that it seems prob. consideration, inten expect able the conclusion is correct, The majority of young women sty- dents in all the classes admitted that they were looking forward to mar riage and home life.

People have learned that the right dose of a [roverdly prepared liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or'after, The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a nalural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar- tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average persons bowels back to regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for use. Member N. R. A.
