HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
L. R. asks: "Is there an ailment
known as chauffeur's knee and what
are its symptoms?"
Chaufeur's knee is not a joke. Symptoms
are pain in the knee, particularly
when the limb is flexed. There is
swelling on each side of the patella.
Treatment consists of rest and we;
dressings.

Relieved.
Acid Iron Mineral (non-alcoholic,
natural iron) is taken from a great
deposit found upon a poor farmer's
place near Hickory. Mississippi and
the story of this great gift of nature's,
which made the farmer rich and the
medical world richer, and makes it
possible for people to quickly treat
stomach, digestion, kidney, blood and
:heumatic complaints at borne, makes
interesting reading.
An old man while digging a mill
race on the Horn arm. ran across it.
Ke was afflicted with an old fever
??.? ?' and blood troubles which were
considered incurable. During the several
weeks digging bis feet and legs
were wet each day as water gathered
and be noticed that this water tumeo
a reddish color caused, by mixing of
water with the vien of peculiar looking
mineral, almost like powder, which
had apparently laid for centuries en
cased in a marble-like casing of rock i
and clay. 1
