reminds us that a better way of insuring peace was put into practice by en English Missionary doctor Theodora Pennell 36 years ago In hia ministry to these very same tribes he traveled unarmed and alone with his medicine chest ministering to the warlike enemies of his country in such way as to win their confidence So successful was this singichanded ministry that Doctor Pennell was acclaimed by a high military authority as "worth a couple of British regiments" in keeping the peace of North-West India Gradually will the armament-minded come to see that Jesus was not speaking idly when He gave

uncalcuhiting love James Barton MD Methods of TreaUng Bedwetting-Enuresis One of the embarrassing conditions that some nervous children have to endure is bed-wetting Despite punishments and rewards these youngsters are unable to control the outflow of urine during sleep Many parents nave worked out a system whereby the youngster is made to pass hia urine just before going to bed Then when the parents are about to retire they wake him up and have him go to the toilet and pass hia urine again Should either parent be awake during the night the youngster is again wakened and sent to the toilet This method works out fairly well but is as you see dependent entirely upon the watchfulness of the parents Many parents have some success by using a dry no soups milk or other liquids after 4 The use of atropine has been a of physicians for years as it serves to "tighten" tlie muscles controlling the opening or neck of the bladder Some months ago a idea in treating bedwetting (enuresis) was suggested in that sandwiches containing a great amount of salt were given just before bedtime Formerly salt was avoided as much aa possible as it made tlie youngster thirsty but salt taken just before bedtime actually draws water from the whole body to itself a single gram of salt can hold 70 times its own weight of water With this great amount uf salt in the system holding water there would nut be as much water get into tlie urinary blud-der and there would be little or no desire or need fur the youngster to pass this small amount Still another treatment for bedwetting comes from Great Britain Dr Brookfield in The Lancet London tells of administering ephedrine (the Chinese drug) in 38 cases of enuresis over periods up to several months The enuresis stopped in ten cases and there was improvement in 14 others Half a grain of ephedrine alkaloid in tablet form ia given at bedtime The dose ia increased by half a grain every three to four nighta Until in some cases as much as five grains is given 1 like to pass along any suggestions on Hie treatment of enuresis as the embarrassment and distress of these youngsters is great indeed Health Booklets Available Eight helpful booklets
