D. COD LIVER OIL was used many j hundred years ago*as a spiing tonic, j The custom appears t » have origi nated with the Engl* jit. and its con- tinned use was confined almost entirely to Eng lish speaking races, English colonies, and peo ple who are in fluenced by Eng lish culture. Nobody knew why it was a tonic, and be cause nobody knew why it was, several decades ago some of the bright, scientific lights began ro sneer at it and Dr. Clendeaing it fell into disuse. ■ Then, appropriately enough, the Eng- j I is!) scientist discovered why it was j i tonic and vvliat it was a tonic for, ; ind restored its use on a firm scien tific foundation, which it now has. j The disease lor which it is a tonic i.- usually known as “rickets", but in 1 .•onnection with the English origin ; of cod liver oil it is interesting to, know that in Germany its name translated means “The English Dis ease". It was first clearly described by two Englishmen, Daniel Whistler and Francis fHisson, about 1650. This triple association of the name of the disease,’and the frequency of tire disease, and the remedy Cor the disease, with England, contains a val uable lesson for all of us. England ’ is a country of long winters, of short ( winter days, of fog and cloud, of lack m sunlight, and these are exactly the f" tors which make for the appenr- T: of rickets. Exactly how It was that the Eng • should have discovered emnirl* *>!!v the c’,sinus faci thm the ''vet Feet and Skin oj Diabetic Musi Be Carefully Tended Ay LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. DIET ALONE, or insulin and diet j Vlone. are not the only factors in • treatment which the diabetic patient: should watch. The feet and the skin are parts of j the, body which should be most j carefully! guarded. The' diabetic is espe- | dally liable to j foot trouble. There are condi- ! lions named “diabetic gan grene" and “dia- j betic ulcer", both ; occurring during! the course of; diabetes, almost j exclusively on j the feet. The first mat- ■ ter which should i OR Dr. Clendening receive attention < * the way the feet are shod and • protected. Soft woolen stockings are essential, and it may come as a sur- [ prise to know that they are more j comfortable and cooler in the sum-j mer than the thinner varieties. The > important thing is that the feet | should be kept warm and the cirou- , latlon evened in this way. Well fitting shoes are the next: requisite. The skin of the feet, should never irritated or rubbed. | A callus or a blister may be the be ginning of something far more seri ous. Kxtreme care should be observed not to bruise the feet. Stubbing the toe may he a joke to a healthy per nor., but it is liahle to be anything else to the diabetic. While a good circulation should he maintained in the feet by warm stockings, they should not. suffer congest ion.

Born in Huaoif In o. deep sea fish vas astonishing enough of all the things on earth best for the cure of rickets is ’ matter of wondering speculation Jt must think of the active fishing t n dustry of the English and nt the presence of the disease, and the oh serration that, after long fumbling with various remedies, it finally p* came a tradition that the cod five would help it and prevent It. as one of those curious discoveries chat hu man beings are able to stumble upon And we can understand, too. whv (he English experience would not be lively to he repeated in the sunn'ei countries of the south, where the presence of the sun effectively pre vents the, development of rickets in most cases. Perversely enough, the people who live in the sunny climates have developed a skin which p opaque to the sun’s rays, and when it gets sufficiently opaque, as 1 n rhi case of the Negro, this very fact mil! tales to produce rickets in these peo pie. In our native population the Negro is by all odds the most, liable to the disease. We know the explanation for these things now from Professor Mellan by’s work. Rickets is a disease of the bony structures, consisting in $, loss of the ability to utilise calcium and phosphorus owing to the lack of a certain substance known as vita min D. This vitamin is torn e<3 in many oily substances, including hu man skin, through the action rtf the ultra-violet rays of the sun. tr. all animal bodies it is formed in this way, and after being formed it. j carried to the liver to he stored For that reason livers are likely to con tain good amounts o? •he *uT**.i.ne« Why fish should he particularly ac tive in the formation of * , b!> sub stance is ehf: rely a mystery The cod i« not the or fish in which large amounts of .1 arum are found !r> the r<>■»: mop ?p.j halibut liv»t at«n carnr'tt *a 'v * urf'i'. * And it will do something else, ti» that it will protect the hack of the legs from pressure op the edge of * too high chair. Tight garters, which might Induce swelling of the veins, are to be avoided for the same reasons. As to the skin, it has been uuf gested that Job probably suffered s from diabetes on account of the in tensity of his complaints about hid boils. For some reason not wholly j understood, the skin In diabetes Ik ! extremely subject to infection, and | boils and carbuncles form much ! more readily in diabetics than It* \ normal people. Whether this is du* ! to the fact that the blood has an i excess amount of sugar and forms s a better culture medium or not is I debatable. At. any rate, it is known 1 that If the blood sugar is kept down ; by diet, it, minimizes the chances for | this complication. j At the same time, the skin itself needs attention, and only the teat and purest soap should be used for cleansing purposes. The question of the cleanliness of the diabetic’s skin j is far more important, than in a per* > son unaffected with the disease. Aa ! in the case of the feet, however, car* 1 should be taken that, rough scruifiug i and scrubbing must be avoided ; Such irritations as those that coma i from tight or jagged collar-band* | should all receive their proper at.* j tention. I A final accessory method of treat* ; ment In diabetes Is exercise. Many • diabetics learn that if they take a i moderate amount of exercise they ; are able to consume more starchy i food than they would ordinarily, without, showing sugar. This Is per i haps natural, when we remember , that, the glucose in the blood Is oxi , dix.ed in the muscles when they ar* ’! at work, and apparently this extra I effort of exercise will not only re i du.ee the blood sugar, but also In crease the tolerance of the individual 1888, Berlin was educated in Ne* York City, where he started hi* career as a performer in restav . rants and cases.
