“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

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,

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
gy —
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. 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.
