4 f 3 Your Health and Its Care By DR. WILLIAM BRADY. M.D. Reader should address inquiries to: Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camirio, Beverly Hills. Calif. MAGIC MEDICINE FROM NEVER-NEVER LAND 2. Sweating nr. Brady Is a turkish bath advisable for a person who has been on a hard drinking bout? A good many drinkers be lieve it is. They think the pro fuse sweating "gets the al cohol out of the system" and so pre vents ill ef fects the drink er would oth erwise suffer. As a matter of physiologi cal fact when larse amounts of alcohol are taken from 88 to 90 per cent of it is oxidized, burned up in the body. The small proportion that is not burned up is excreted mainly through the kidneys and the lungs, and only traces of alcohol are excreted in the sw"eat. Therefore the notion that pro fuse sweating "gets the alcohol out of the system" is wrong. Moreover, the harm done by 1 alcohol in any quantity is last ing if not permonent, although all of the alcohol is burned up or excreted within several hours, as a rule. The dimwit who thinks he or she can drink to ex cess and avoid the destructive effects of the poison by "getting the alcohol out of the system" well, he or she was mentally de fective to begin with, else why resort to alcohol at all? There is a widesrjread belief that profuse sweating, induced bv applications of neat, hot baths, drugs, etc., is good treat ment for acute illnesses of vari ous kinds. The Wiseacres imag ine the body "throws off or eliminates" whatever poisons, impurities, germs, toxins, acids or waste products their favorite charlatans may regard as the cause of such illness. In my opinion the best all- around first aid treatment for child or adult comine down with any such acute feverish illness as the grippe, acute sore throat, acute coryza, acute sinusitis acute earache, acute toothache (ulcerated tooth), tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, acute pleurisy or pneumonia, lust a bad cold to you, lamebrain, is H. M. F. B. That means a hot mustard foot bath administered to the pa tient in bed. and I mean in bed between blankets, not sitting up. ISO one can take H.M.F.B. himself. Of course a hot mustard foot bath may produce more or less sweating, but that is only inci dental. It relieves or moderates the severity of the illness by equalizing the circulation, re ducing congestion, and so dimin ishing irritation and perhaps sootning or relieving pain. But the quantity of poison toxic waste matter, acid impuri ties or metabolic by-products present in a gallon of sweat in duced by heat is considerably Jess than would be present in a teaspoonful of blood and al though it does no harm to take a few fluidounces (say 30 or 40 Mann's Store Files Incorporation Papers Salem, Ore.,.

Moffatt and John G. Crawford. teaspoonfuls) of blood from a vein in almost any case, no one would seriously urge such bleed ing as a routine method of treat ment for the C-R-I (common res piratory infections) today, v Nine out of ten intelligent laymen if men are intelligent who have skipped physiology or studied it only as a minor fea ture in a course in biology have only vague or confused ideas about the nature and pur pose of sweating. Because a great deal of un- happiness, needless worry and anxiety and, in my opinion, ill health is due to this popular ignorance ol elementary physiol ogy, it may be well to devote this space tomorrow to defining the difference between active and passive sweating.
