Soap, Water, Sulphur Lotion Treatment - Boils

By Herman N. Bundeien. M. O. SINCE the time of Job. and doubtless before, mankind has rated boil- a* among its moat painful affliction*. Poor Job scraped himself with a [mtsherd and cursed the day he was born The modern man fortunately, has other and better resources agalnpt this skin infection, which la ktw»wn to debtors as furunculosis. The parts of the sktn mod often attacked by bolls are the back of the neck within the hair margin, the sweat and fat stands in the armpits, the buttocks and the forearms. Infection* wblrh penetrate deeply into the skin arc called carbuncles. Location and Severity The treatment of furunculosis will depend on th*» location and severity of the inaction. In the case of small boils which develop in the back of the npek Ilf. S. Wat son Smith of England, suggest* that the area which Is affected >»■ washed twice a day with soap and water, followed by the application of a sulphur lotion without putting any gauce eftverint: over the area. As soon a* the boll* soften he advise* they be opened using a (minted match stick dipped in a mild tincture of iodine. When many small bolls develop in other parts vs the body. Dr. butith adnaea cffvcrlßf them with gettia* violet monnog and trtght tor a week. Affler the boiL are opened, be adviae* that a magoeai

What's In a name? Everything, the late Charles F. Hurley would have said. Elected three times state treasurer of Massachusetts, he went on to the governorship in 1017 and !»>. Nothing so remark ahle in this, perhaps. But he has had three successors as state treasurer, all of whom are named Hurley. o_o Income taxes of auy kind in this couutry are unpopular, and therefore interesting. Toledo. <>. has just approved of a one percent payroll income tax by a slender majority—for the ordinance, ST.MR and against It, SS.M2. It Is estimated that the revenue derived from It will reach >4,000,000 a year. The funds will be used to liquidate or finance depression relief area debts, capital improvements. expanding Are and police and recreationlal facilities, and other city Improvements. To pay for them, everybody living or working or doing business in the city will be obliged to pay the city one percent of his earnings. —o— The world's armies are going home, fly the end of 1048. If all go*-- well, th«- British armed forces will number only 650.000, a drop of 5.000,000 from top strength. China, with 7.000,000 men. will reduce 'the number to 1,512.000 in a year, and six months after that to 840,000. The Russians, too, arc sending millions of soldiers home. Itu-sian soldiers are just discontented as Americans when made to stay In uniform for what they consider an unnecessarily long time. They want to get back to tbelr production of food aud of articles so badly needed for their homes. -0 The army has established a "gripe board" advertised as the first of its kind at Washington, to establish better relations between the army officers and the enlisted men. It is said to have Jnst finish ed its first batch of reports. The procedure of opening up sore spots might usefully be spread over a larger area than has hecn contemplated so far. One of the most profitable and soul-cleansing acts for the human system Is to get rid of gripes

urn sulfate paste spread on gauze be applied and changed every four hours. Cover Carbuncle* In the case of carbuncles he does not believe that they should be cut open He thinks the best treatment is to cover them also with a magnesium sulfate paste and to give injections into a muscle of penicillin. A penicillin preparation instead of the magnesium sulfate paste may be applied liberally to the carbuncle. The logic of this is plain when it Is understood that in most instances both are caused by staphylococcus germs, which are among those most readily attacked by pt niclllin. Hotis or carbuncles may !»• danI gcrtids. Hence, it is suggested by > br. Smith that the patient lie kept > at rest In bed; that he be given a good diet and preparations coni talntng vitamins such as yeast. Sometimes, vaccine made from I staphylococcus germs may be i' helpful In preventing attacks of ; boils. One of the sufonumide drugs, such as sulfathlazolc may : also be administered. He does not i believe that a sulfonamide olti ment should Ire used on Imlls. After recovery from an attack > of boils bas occurred, it may be a . good Idea to give the patient some i iron-cootatntng preparatioo to ov--1 efeome any am-tpia or Macnitig i of the coloring tpfftter tn the blood • which ba* developed-

CHAPTER FTFTEEh t "CLAIRE!" 1 SAID shakily. 1 •Claire what d’you think! I've found a package of Margot's let- 1 ten." "You WHAT?" Claire, too. was • bolt upright and on her feet in- , stantly. "Letters to Margot Ingalls?" ( “No. Letters written by her." I ( slipped on my shoes and joined her , on the sofa. “Remember what I told ( you she said Wednesday night? i All muddled, but adding up to let- i ten she’d written that might end ; her career?" “Yes. I remember," Claire nod- I dcd. "You think that them ?" I removed the rubber band. "I I don't know. But it's queer, finding them stuffed down in the chair, i Look! No envelopes. No dates. Nothing!" We glanced at each other for a second mute question. Then our heads bent together and we started to read. “The fool! The abysmal, stupid idiot! No wonder she was scared of blackmail!" Claire broke out when we'd finished the first three. The letters were written to a lover. of course. A man she called "Darling" and "Dearest" and "My Beloved'' and every other endearment imaginable, but never by an honest to goodness, traceable name. But they were more than just love letters. In them poor Margot had laid bare her soul. Making fun of herself and her "stupid pot boilers," as she called her work, and even more fun of the editor who regularly serialised her stories in hh world-famous magazine. Claire and I knew the man well. Well enough, at any rate, to know he wasn't the type to forgive the slurs on his intelligence and the sarcasm about his appearance and personal traits the letters contained. Margot Ingalls had been perfectly right: it would have been curtains for her, so far as he or his magazine were concerned, if they had ever reached him. "She must have been insane to write such things," Claire said, overcome for once. “Baby! If the papers get on to these you can kiss your cominisrion on that just-aigned contract goodby!" “ _. But , * *«n't worrying about commissions just then. I was too tM»y trying to recall every word had Mld Wednesday night. When a woman of my age falls in love she goes crazy," she'd told TS A .!L to ° tn,thfu «y. It seemed *",! !t “* er ha PP* n « to you, don t trust, don’t write letters.” And later—or was it before?— shed told herself, "I can't let It happen.

what Margot nad said and went on j reading her poor, pitiful letters. They changed, one by one There was no more criticism of the publisher in the later ones And the happiness went out of them. too They became first puzzled, then worried, and at last desperate. None of them bore a date But I could place the probable time of one by the mention of her divorce And in some of the next ones, full of dismay about "darling's" departure, without her, for some unnamed destination—the month of Dita's wedding was indicated by her wails about loneliness in “this hot heap of stones," that could only mean New York, and the time of her last visit to my aunt "Wonder where he went," Claire remarked idly. “There doesn't seem to be much choice in war time Di* coast, or Canada, or Mexico. What d'you think?" I didn’t think or care. I was too choked up with pity for Margot Ingalls. She said: “You lie to yourself an I you bumble yourself," and Lord how she'd done both? Ono of the letters read: "Don’t be cruel, my darling! Come ba< k to me sometimes! If I can't have all <>f you I’ll accept what you are willir; to give and give you nil in return. All I have. If only you'll be a little kind to me I’M cut ail my remaining ties. Let my family shift f r themselves, I don't care. All 1 have, all I can cam, shall be yours." -Goofy! Plain demented!” Claim kept murmuring. And then suddenIv gave a whoop of joy. "Will glory be! Here she's getting good and mad at last!” “I’ve stood for much, but you ve gone too far thia time. 1 won t let you cut me dead and mnke me look like a fool before my friend.-,” r< ■ the passage Claire indicated to me And on the next page: “From now on I shall deny all acquaint.inwith you. if we should ever meet in public by chance. And deny it iu‘ insultingly as possible, I promts' you that!” I couldn't go or reading Tie words brought back the scene at my reception too vividly. D*anc! Could he be the man after all ? Claire was devouring the last le • ter while I stared at nothing in my dismay. , “I can’t yet believe It You. black mailing me!” she read aloud 'Hu' of course, I shall give you the ten thousand you ask for the letter-’ when I am in New York. For al the letters, you understand! Beyond that, however. I shall not go. matter what you threaten to do to me.
