PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Heart and Morale. | It seems still the way of folk who do not understand to refer to lung tuber- culosis, if it is in their own family, as “weak lungs” although the lungs of persons il of tuberculesis are usualiy as strong as. often indeed stronger than. the lungs of persons who have no tu-; berculosis. 1 recall a striking instance —a group of 40 young who under- went a physical examination. One of them stood out by reason of his fine physique and his phenomenal chest expansion—he could expand his chest over five inches whereas most of the vyoung mes had just normal chest ex- pansions. around two inches. This phenomenon. however, was the only one of the group who had tuberculosis. snd to his surprise and indignation he was rejected. Being a “physical eulture” enthusiast, he just naturally acorned th: doctor’s advice, for all the plausible “nature” healers who adver- | tise in the magazines of the “physical culture” cult assure prospects that regular or “allopathic” doctors know nothing but pills. On a strenuous regi- men of exercise, including even deep breathing stunts, of course the unfor- tunate youth did not last long. but he @id manage to get a testimonial or two published pefore he lost interest in the campaign the mail-order and short- cut healers were waging to curb the “doctor’s trust.” “Weak kidneys” is the vague term empioyed by some people to signify a mere fancy that there may be some- thing wrong with the kidneys, and by others to signify any disturbance of the function of the bladder. Weak nerves. weak stomach. female weakness, weak ankles, weak eves, and ! weak heart are all popular fancies, but never weak brain or weak mind. That's the queer part of it—folk who are wi ling, nay, eager, to be told by Tom. Dick or the doctor that th: have “weak nerves” or “weak heart” are SONNYSAYINGS RY FANNY Y.

Also glasses call a halt to certain kinds of headaches, T suppose. and incidentally make us see hetter—and yet no woman likes to wear glasses. especially when she has gone without them until the dreaded fortics and accepts them then as a sort of symbol of the fact that she's nearly old enough to be a grandma For my own part I think a woman appears younger when she looks straight forward without squinting on the world before her than the sensitive old dears who won't wear ‘em and go through the little facial gestures neces- sary to focus their hypermetropic ey But don't overlook the fact that when a woman wears glasses she must take special pains in selecting her hats.
