163 THE IIKALTH BULLETIN. That is a time-worn remedy for toothache that was ancient even to our grandmothers. They used bags of hot sand or salt, or even a hot iron, when a "cold settled in a tooth/' with excellent results. Now why, in this day and age, should we give the credit for such a cure to a nickel-plated gas pipe? Certainly some of us do like to be humbugged. Constipation is one of the subjects treated at length in the joke book. Some four pages are devoted to this subject. We quote again: 'There i3 but one true way of overcoming and curing constipation, and that is to begin at the fountain-head or source of the difficulty. Every one afflicted with constipation should take an inventory of his daily habits as to breathing, eating, drinking and exercise, and correct the faults that he sees hrve brought about his condition." Now% it is a matter of common knowledge that such a course will cure most cases of constipation without further treatment. But note what follows: "While correcting the causes of his constipation, which the patient can and must do in order to be permanently cured, let him aoopt the following program: Apply the Oxypathor at Strong Force w^ith one disk over the liver at lower margin of right ribs and cover abdominal surface with cold water or apply, with the disk removed, a cold compress for 2 or 3 minutes." And so it goes on giving the time-honored treatments for constipation, including proper habits and diet, hot and cold compresses, fruit and a glass of cold water before breakfast, and so on, but never failing to have the Oxypathor applied in some spectacular w^ay in every instance. And yet some people can be persuaded to pay $35 for a piece of gas pipe and for such information, which they have been taught or should have been taught from childhood up. In this joke book there are enough simple home remedies our grandparents taught us, together with a little everyday hygiene and sanitation that the average schoolboy ought to know, to remedy the minor ailments, but the constant reference to the Oxypathor misleads people easily susceptible to suggestion to attribute their recovery to the Oxypathor, instead of to the real cause.
