remedies are simple fresh air, pure water,
digestible food and rest. These are nature's restoratives, and
the sooner both physicians and people learn to rely upon them
instead of upon drugs the better it will be for all parties. And
as the effect of alcoholic liquors are directly depressing to
the strength and activity of all the natural functions and
processes of life, as shown by the most varied and scientific
investigations, it is important that this fact be taught to both
doctors and people everywhere."--DR. N. S. DAVIS.

FITS:--"Whether the fit be apoplexy or epilepsy all alcoholics
are extremely bad, both at the time and afterwards. Alcohol, the
'genius of degeneration,' is the chief cause of apoplexy, and

giddiness, hiccough, prostration, sinking sensations and

diet needs careful attention where there is much flatulence; tea
is often a cause. Charcoal biscuits are useful in some cases;
lemon juice in others. Fluid Magnesia may be taken. Watch for
the cause and remove it."

HEADACHE:--_The New Hygiene_ says: "This is the manifestation of
a deeper-seated trouble, usually in the stomach. The use of
stimulants is a sure promoter of headache. All users of
alcoholic liquors are, I believe, subject to headache, and it is
also a sure result of overindulgence in tea and coffee.

"To prevent the attacks, live regularly, avoid late hours and
excessive brain work; avoid tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages,
also sweets of all kinds, including sauces and pastries, and
anything fried in fat. Eat plenty of good, plain food, including
fruit, especially oranges. Eat none late at night. Exercise
