Former Commissioner of Health, h'ew York City. SOME diseases are named after the men who first described them. Most of such ailments are obscure and rarely met. When we deal with common troubles, creating definite and well located symptoms, they fre given names which correspond usually to the particular parts of the body Involved. There are two of these rare diseases which I shall mention today. I speak of them together, not because they are at all alike, but because they bear the names of their discoverers. The first, is “Hodgkin’s Disease.” This was named for Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who practiced a century ago. It is marked by enlargement of certain glands, the lymph glands. Swelling in the neck is the most common evidence of its presence. If we have a swelling somewhere in the body and it becomes red and sensitive, we give it im mediate attention. If it is just “something under the skin,” something freely moveable, but not sore, we give it little attention. It is just this sort of swelling that in very rare instances may be an early sign of Hodgkin's Disease. Swellings^—tumors, as the doctors call them— should receive attention. Early neglect is responsible for serious later effects. Immediate attention will overcome almost every one of the human disabilities. In the disease we are discussing, temperature develops after a while. Chills and sweating are otner. symptoms “Addison’s Disease- was first described by Dr. Thomas Addison, an English physician, who practiced nearly a hundred years ago. Ilia account of this ailment was so com plete it has never been bettered. In this disturbance the most marked sign Is a peculiar bronzing of the skin. There are genera! symptoms, including weakness and debility, feeble action of ths heart, indigestion, anemia and feeling of prostration. The whole skin area may be in volved. Even the lining of the mouth and lips may be effected. In a cense it is like tuberculosis. There la loss of weight The blood pressure Is low.

By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON. HAVE you ever felt that you ju«t couldn’t go on another minute? If so, a world of rest and luxury are contained in the "per fect bath.” Today I'm going to tell you how to make this daily routine a "pep" restorer and nerve preserver, instead of the dull, monotonous affair usually indulged in— from habit. The morning bath is not like the one taken in the evening, nor is it taken for the same pur pose. The tepid morning bath, with a cold shower or cold plunge finish, tones up the nerves and stimulates circulation, thus preparing us for the day’s work. The evening bath, taken after a busy day in office, shop or over the bridge table, rests and soothes the nerves, relieving that tired, strained feeling. Bath salts adds a luxurious gradeur to the bath that lifts it from the "hum drum” daily plunge. However, the salts are not absolutely necessary, since one cupful of borax will soften the bath water just as well. If borax is sub- rysFDNiisiF stituted, a scented soap makes the evening bath Mtri™ r«Tr\ki a more luxurious procedure. It is the warm “v/UDLLO lUN water and the time spent in it that really does the "work” of sooth ing and preparing us for a night of real rest. A stiff bristled flesh or bath brush, pure soap, fresh wash cloth and a fresh, coarse bath towel are the necessary accessories for the Jdesl evening b*tn. < This hath should be Indulged in after the face and throat have been thoroughly cleansed.

The arms and hands should be placed In the most comfortable position, then, closing the eyes, lie relaxed for a few minutes. If the soothing powers of the bath are at work, you’ll prob ably feel quite drowsy, eo moisten the wash cloth with cold water and hold it to the face for a few mlnutee. Boon you are ready for the cleans ing part of the hath. Work a good lather onto the brush, then briskly rub over the entire body, being espe cially generous with the brushing over the upper arms and thighs, where little dry pimples usually ap pear.

Nothing win erase the little dry pimples from the body as quickly and thoroughly as the vigorous brushing with the delly hath. How ever. should these blemishes persist after ten consecutive dally bathe, special treatments should be taken. Simple as they are the results axs splendid. A vigorous olive oil mas sage over the body after the evening bath, followed next morning with a cool bath and alcohol rub. will prove very effectual. There are a number of bath prepa ration e, compounded especially for extreme fatigue and nervousness. Such bathe may be taken any time of the day. An extremely cold plunge or shower Is somewhat of a shock to the system and should only be taken at the suggestion of a re liable physician. However, in many cases of nervousness, a cold bath cr shower Is advisable. A cupful of refined starch, added to the bath water, gives the skin a lovely soft and velvety flplsh. Starch and borax (equal parts) used to gether, makes e perfect bath com bination. I Love’s Awakening ■ | -r -ftj Adel* Garrison..
