IIKKD THE ItKFLKX AND SPAUK TUB PILL
Among the many things I
am
Uite c,lnnky nhout Is lhe me.clfi
form of request a correspondent
uses to ask for my advice about
constipation. For instance, I have
no cure for constipation. I offer
no treatment or
remedy for it. I
don't know what
you mean by tor
pid or lazy liver
and neither do
you. I preserlbo
no diet for "coli
tis' and I suggest
no way of dealing
with a case of
autointoxlcnt ion.
Oh, I'm almost insufferably par
ticular about the way you ask for
my ndvice about this common
trouble. You see I'm a psychol
ogist mnybo you haven't noticed
that, but I nm. . My psychology, I
am proud to sny, is very homely
and not ut all Imposing. I have
never even tried to hypnotize
anybody nnd my eye well, my
eye! Hut Just the same I have
plenty of evidence that my psy
chology Ih a little bit of all right.
And so I run along this way, con
tent to count nn occasional suc
cess and always trying to sensitise
the ensual reader's mind to good
health suggestion.
Constipation Is, in rare cases, an
actual organic disease, nnd as such
requires the best care of physician
and surgeon. Hut In the great
majority of cases it is purely u bud
habit. My purpose Is merely to
help victims of tho habit to cor
rect the bad habit.
Dr. Kdwln Iloros aptly terms
constipation a "by-product of civi
lisation" nnd explains how it is
brought about by suppression of
the call of nature or postponement
of answering or heeding this re
flex. He gives some excellent sug-
Rations, some of which may
be
mentioned here. The patient re
ives two tablespoonfuls of lac-
tose (sugar of milk) In one-half
glassful of cold water half an hour I
before breakfast. At 10 a. m.,
the patient should eat n moderate

or dates, or half a pound of
grapes. The laxative effect of
prunes la enhanced if they nre
soaked two hours in water before
eating. At 4 In the afternoon re
peat the 10 a. m., lunch. At bed
time repeat the lactose. Of course i
all other artificial aids are stopped
when this treatment begins. Dr.
Bur os finds there Is usually no
bowel action In the first three days
of this treatment. He allows the
patient to take a tenspoonful of
gamneslum oxide powder three
times the first day, half a tea
spoonful three times the second
day, one-fourth teaspoonful three
times the third day nnd that's nil
there ain't .goln' to be no more.
The first three days are the hard
est. After that. If the patient does
not lose confidence and break the
spell, everything's gonnn bo all
right. (I am relapsing now into
my own vulgar language). Dr.
Horos states that these sugars pro
mote fermentation In the intestine,
and that is desirable; considerable
gns Is one effect, nnd It is Impor
tant for the patient not to try to
suppress that. Finally, the patient
must faithfully heed the reflejt
or the natural Impulse at what
ever time It comes, usually shortly
after breakfast mornings, and al
ways nt that regular time.
My experience Is that the aver
age victim of the -.; must he
willing to stay in ino fight four or
five days without weakening and
resorting again to the old physic.

A GIum of Water Is Worth a Lot
. . . assure you of my high ap
preciation of your Invaluable arti
cles. One item you printed some
time ago was worth much more
than a year's subscription to the
paper: it was your advice that one
drink a glass or two of cold water
with every meal, as a drink, not
to wash down morsels of food.
For years I had suffered wit,h
thirst for two hours after dinner in
the evening, nnd my old doctor
forbade me drinking water within
two hours of a meal. . When the
two hours was up I drank enorm
oUHly and was made uncomfort
able. Now I enjoy a drink when
1 am at table, and I find it much
better . . . (W. A. F.)
Answer. Despite old traditions
or theories, it is usually nn aid to
good digestion to take a drink of
cold water when you are at nil
thirsty, and especially Just before
or in the course of a meal.
A Yast Difference
Some time ago I asked you
about an injection treatment for
rupture and you sent the circular
buck marked '"Humburg." Now I
see you commend the ambulent
treatment of hernia. What is the
answer? (B. C. J.)
Answer. I commend the injec
tion treatment of hernia in the
hands of a reputable, responsibble
physician, and I arn you against
, any such treatment offered by. a
Jj quack who, of course. Is not re-
' sponsible nnd not reliable. If you
do not understand what n vast dif
ference this is, it is time somebody
Instructed you about the wiles of
j quackery. I nm unable to name
doctors who give such treatment,
j Any doctor who can give an ordi
nary hypodermic may successfully
give the treatment if he deems it
suitable.

. Lewia Carris of the National So
ciety for the Prevention 'of Blind
ness recently spoke of the need for
special vocational guidance anions'
children of defective vision.
He told ,f the work done In the
slsht siivlng classed organized
throughout the United States In
which about 4.000 children are en
rolled. In describing the classts he said:
his poor vision this, of course, wns
impossible. Ills teacher, however,
was able to Interest the hoy In for
estry nnd he now Is leading a hap
py and healthful life engaged in
tree surgery.
"In another case n girl of artistic
bent wanted to become a painter.
Since her sight made this Impos
sible she wns persuaded 1o study
horticulture. She now is doing
landscape gardening with n large
staff of helpers nnd ghe Is pros
perous as well as happy In her
work."
Such guidance Is necessary for'
all children who must live their
lives under handicaps. Parents as
well as teachers need to face In
telligently the limitations which
physical disabilities Impose upon
the work which children with han
dicap can learn to do.
They n.ist help them to make
their adjustment ns early as pos
sible. Years of fruitless effort, dis
appointment nnd discouragement
could be snvcrt If those In charge
of such children would help them
to meet their problems on a rea
listic basis.
Teachers should direct children's
ambitions Into channels which fol
low the strenm of natural Inclina
tion yet take

is possible.
