THE USE OF DRUGS Mupy of our correspondents have written to us, asking for advice in re gard to treatment and, particularly. concerning the yalue of some. particu- lay drug as a remedy for: the illness ‘/of which they are the victims. We refer -to this because. if shows that-there is a lack of wnderstending coucerning the use of. drugs. In the first place, the proper treatment of di- seuse depends upon a dingnosis. Some trentment may be given to relieve the symtoms of which the patient com- plains, but the real treatment of dis- ease is directed, as for-as ‘possible, to- wards ‘the removal of the cause of disease. If, for example, a patient sufferes from headache due to faulty eyesight. the proper treatment of such “i cnse is not. to give some drug _ te deiden the headache, but to remove the Giuse, by preseribing es which will end eye-strain—the can se Of headaches. AIl cases are not us simple and “di- rect as this, however. In many cases it calls for‘all the skili which the phy. sician acquires, from years of training and experience, which .the lay-man lacks, whicel’ makes it. dangerous for people -to attempt. to trent themselves Not only may considerable: harm — be done by the improper use of drugs, but in addition, time is being lost in obtaiz ing skilled medical. treatment for the red cause of the trouble.

The long- er trentment is delayed the less chance there is for it to be successful. a For these reasons, tt seams. evident that it is the interest of the patien? to secure proper, adequate treatment from his physiclan,. rather than . to attempt to trent himself, POSITION WANTED Capable ciderly woman wanis job in camp a8 cook, house-keeper, hotel work, or my other work that offers.
