in cases where the malady has been neglected, operation is necessary to prevent excessive scarring or exhaustion from continued discharge. It is imperative when glands have broken down, and are discharging, that they should be kept extremely clean and free from external infections by the use of local antiseptic washes and applications. The arm must also be kept at rest. A GIRTON GIRL.—Should persons with organic disease of the heart marry? is a question which is very much easier to ask than it is to answer. In this case we have not to consider the dangers of heredity, for though heart-disease, and still more so, the commonest cause of heart-disease, rheumatism, is undoubtedly sometimes hereditary, it is not sufficiently so to forbid marriage on this score. Our personal experience is that heart-disease is not hereditary. Nor is heart-disease an infectious disease like consumption, which you could communicate to your children or husband. Valvular disease is so varied in its nature and degree that it is impossible to lay down laws which are applicable to every case. GLASBURY.—Influenza is a terrible disease, and it often leaves much suffering in its train. Indeed, we know of no disease which leaves so much ill-health behind it. You, it has left with dyspepsia and nervous weakness—perhaps its commonest legacy. You must be exceedingly careful of your diet. The wind in your stomach you can relieve by bicarbonate of soda or by two or three drops of essence of ginger in a wineglassful of water. At the present time you should feed as well as your dyspepsia will admit; and, really, to treat indigestion properly does not entail many privations. Meat and malt wine, or cod-liver oil and maltine would do you good if you can digest it; or you might derive great benefit from a course of iron with quinine or other bitter tonic. But you cannot take the last until your indigestion is relieved. EVELYN.—If you go to a dental hospital, they will tell you where you can get artificial teeth cheaply. It is against our rules to give the name or address of any person.
