XXIX No. i rOJ THE NATIONAL HEALTH MAGAZINE JANUARY 1914 AIM : To assist in the physical, mental, and moral uplift of humanity through the individual and the home. George Henry Heald, M. D., Editor This Issue No other topic has within recent years attracted such universal at- tention and discussion as the rapidly increasing cost of living. With wages and salaries comparatively static, retail prices are soaring skyward, and there is little evidence that this increase will not continue. " How shall I manage my income so that it will be adequate under the new con- ditions ? " is the almost universal cry. Here is a problem insistently de- manding solution, and it sometimes seems as if the only solution for many must be a lowered standard of living. Our contributors for this month have attempted, from various view- points, to answer- this vital question; and though it cannot be claimed that the topic has been exhausted, or that they have said the last word on the subject, it is hoped that every reader will find in the symposium suggestions that he can apply with profit to his own circumstances. The February Issue Clothing and Its Relation to Health will constitute the important feature of the February issue. Considering the close relation that exists between clothing and comfort, between clothing and efficiency, between clothing and health, is it not surprising that more attention has not been given to this aspect of clothing rather than to its use for ornamental pur- poses and for ostentation? The illustrated article by Dr. L. E. Conradi, of Switzerland, should make this a valued issue especially by the women. The March Issue being devoted largely to the consideration, by physicians and scientists, of the effects of stimulants and narcotics — alcohol, tobacco, and the habit- forming drugs on health and general efficiency — will be an excellent propaganda number. IWM THE DANCEP OF AMATEUP DOCTOPING Cms K. FAP&MGTori. DECIDED to write this article when a dear friend of mine, a physician of great skill, said to me, " I do wish people would stop advising one another what to take in times of sickness." He further explained that he did not mean in cases of serious illness, for then a doctor is usually called in, but in the common minor disorders which give friends such an opportunity to offer free advice, which, if followed, often proves very costly in the end. Before expressing himself as mentioned above, the doctor told me of the latest case of amateur doc- toring he had been called to rectify. Un- fortunately, such occurrences were not rare in his experience, and he was moved to speak strongly upon the subject. After a nerve-racking and prolonged period of time, he had been able to save the life of a patient who, upon the ad- vice of friends, had taken a well-known remedy for the purpose of curing a cold. The remedy was of unquestioned value in relieving certain disorders, but it was never intended to be taken without a physician's orders and his supervision. The user had no idea of its properties whatsoever, and, thinking to be on the " safe side," took a small amount every hour, hoping thereby to break up the cold safely and surely. Often this method of taking medicines appeals strongly to the amateur, for it seems certain to him that no dangerous results can follow, because of the smallness of the dose. He would fear to take an ordi- nary amount of the medicine, but feels that a small quantity could not possibly hurt him. The absolute fallacy of such AUTHOR'S NOTE.— The incidents mentioned in this article were given me by a skilful surgeon and general practitioner. 6 reasoning will be apparent from the re- sults of the case in question. The na- ture of the remedy used was such that it was not rapidly absorbed by the human system; therefore it was possible to take a dangerous amount in small doses be- fore the effects became noticeable, and that was just what was done in this case. The patient then passed into a state of unconsciousness, and it was only after much skilful treatment on the part of the attending physician that his life was saved. My doctor told me that it was custom- ary to give a certain amount of this rem- edy at intervals, but the condition of the patient had to be first taken into con- sideration, for if the heart's action was poor, or if some of the other organs of the body were in a diseased state, it was sometimes best not to use it. The lay- man does not consider such matters. He frequently thinks that what will help one case will also aid another. Let me give the following example, which will assist the reader in understanding the mat- ter:— Acute and Chronic Diseases Cannot Al- ways Have the Same Treatment Two persons come to a doctor's office, both having a form of acute throat trouble. One can be given a local treat- ment, which the other cannot stand be- cause of a diseased condition of the mem- brane of the throat before the acute trouble attacked it. In one case condi- tions before the attack were normal; in the other, long-continued chronic illness had weakened the throat. But the lay- man would judge, because each had the same acute throat trouble, that the same treatment could be given each. And, as a rule, when he attempts to prescribe GENERAL ARTICLES 7 medicines, he falls into the same error, and considers that what would aid one case would also help another. Farther on in this article I shall mention other incidents that will enable the reader to understand fully these matters. The Danger of the Indiscriminate Use of Tonics The " amateur doctor" likes very much to recommend a tonic. He knows of one or more which, by the way, his family physician has used with good re- sults for himself or some member of his family. "Dr. H gave me such a won- derful tonic," you will hear him say. " It built me up so nicely and quickly, and I am sure it will do you no end of good also. You are undoubtedly, as I was before I took it, a little run down. Get a bottle or two; it costs only ninety cents at B's." Again we have an in- stance of the absurdity of the reasoning of the amateur. What has caused the patient to whom he has recommended a tonic to need one? Are the conditions the same as in the case of the sufferer for whom the physician ordered the tonic originally? Probably the amateur has never considered these points. Peo- ple become run down from very different causes, oftentimes from very obscure ones, which the untrained mind would consider similar. And there is another phase of the subject. What size dose is the best? No one but a skilled physi- cian is competent to judge in these mat- ters. How Long a Tonic May Be Safely Used A tonic is usually considered by the amateur to be used for building up a run-down condition of the system. But few persons not in the medical profes- sion realize that there are tonics which can be used for extended periods of time with safety, and others which should be used for only short periods of treatment. For example, my physician told me that he had just discovered that one of his pa- tients was using a tonic that had been prescribed for him three years before, after an acute bronchial attack. The medicine was excellent for the purpose for which it was given, a quickly acting stimulant for both brain and body hav- ing been needed. But in the condition in which the patient was at the present, no active brain and body stimulant was re- quired, but Simply a gradual building up of the nervous system. The physician at once ordered the first-mentioned tonic to be discarded, and specified one suit- able for periods of time covering many months. Now the name of one of these tonics ended in the letters " phite," the other in " phate,"— not much difference in the name, but a vast difference in the effect ; yet, on account of the appar- ent similarity of the name, the uninitiated would consider them as about the same. My physician told me that he had pa- tients, men and women working at their daily tasks, who would be seriously af- fected by an ordinary dose of the first- mentioned tonic, because of the stimulus to the brain, while other patients would receive only good results from a similar dose. The reader can easily see from these examples the great danger of at- tempting to do what one has not been taught to do. Even a Trained Nurse May Not Give Food or Medicine Without a Doctor's Orders In a well-managed hospital even trained and experienced nurses may not give a patient either food or medicine without the attending physician's orders. It would be well for every reader of this article to remember this. Nurses who have had practical training and large ex- perience cannot take upon themselves in any degree the qualifications of a physi- cian. If they cannot do so, is it reason- able that an amateur should ? WHAT I KNOW ABOUT REDUCING THE COST OF LIVING Emma Marie Harris HERE was a time when our forefathers had little trouble over the cost of living. They obtained the supplies for a comfortable living by the exercise of brain and brawn 3E in home produc- tion of food and raiment, not to mention the many farming tools which they were able to manufacture. In the child- hood days o f the writer, the attic in the old farmhouse in southern Maine had an array of imple- ments of handi- craft, which, with the square- hewn beams of the frame now hidden beneath a more modern exterior, told the tale of colonial days. The spin- ning-wheel ; the flax wheel; the clock reel; and the old-time cradle filled with tow, which did duty when the mumps as- sailed the youngsters of the household, a bunch of it being scorched and placed around their heads for their relief,— all these were there, relics of days when 4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4. the housewife, from flax and wool raised on the place, made the family wardrobe. While woman's work was going on within the home, the men-folk outside were none the less busy in tilling the soil, w h i c h yielded the principal ar- ticles of food needed for the family con- sumption. They dreamed not of shirking toil, for necessity taught them to know well its value. Their fields of maize, or In- dian corn, as it was called, well- grown and wav- ing in the sum- mer breeze, lent to them a cheer- ful view of the landscape. The corn harvested, the husking was a tedious job for one man, usually done on cold, wet days unsuitable for other work. It was a happy innovation when neighborly sympathy invented the husk- ing-bee. The corn shelled, away to the mill went the farmer's boy with his grist, re- turning with golden grains from which Some one has said that an ideal is a responsibility; it is the working model that God has set before the in- dividual. Now the ideal manner of living is to have a home, garden, or- chard, and berry patch of one's own. Then there are no high rents to meet, and plenty of fruit is had in season, and for canning for winter's use, at comparatively little cost. But — the ideal is not always attainable. Mrs. Harris suggests the following: — Study to improve methods: improve the culinary art; avoid meats and deli- catessen foods; make your own bread and can your own fruits; purchase at real bargain sales, and of good ma- terial only; avoid ephemeral styles; give thought to the care of the health; do not neglect to take vacations. EDUCING the COST L OF LIVING A SYMPOSIUM GENERAL ARTICLES 11 The home was the factory, and the wife the oper ative, in colonial times. the miller had extracted a small portion for toll. From these same golden grains t h e toothsome bannock was made. From field to table, and not a hint at prices; for toil was master and dealt in his own currency. It would seem that to produce as far as may be the supply of one's own ne- cessities is a good way to avert the onset of high prices; but for only a few is this practicable. Some one has said that an ideal is a responsibility; it is the working model that God has set before the individual. Now the ideal manner of living is to have a home, garden, orchard, and berry patch of one's own. Then there are no high rents to meet, and plenty of fruit is had in season, and for canning for winter's use, at comparatively little cost. For those who t have no garden nor orchard the next best thing near-by farmers enough apples, paring farmer's m e n t s an d prices with the same amounts in small meas- CLOCK REEL ures from huck- sters, stores, and markets, there will be found in favor of the farmer a reduc- tion of at least one half in cost of supplies. In these days of luxurious liv- ing, to deal in detail with the cost of living would take one beyond the scope of this ar- t i c 1 e. There a r e, however, some underlying principles that apply to every family, and our outlook is mostly from the point of view of the housekeeper. The housekeeper should make her work a business to be studied and prac- tised with a view to continual improve- ment in her methods; she should not al- low her work to degenerate into a dull routine from which escape would be wel- come. Often servants are added to the household for the reason that the mis- tress herself has not sufficient interest in her work to make it anything but drudg- ery ; but in e m p 1 o y - ing servants the cost of living is largely i n - creased. The best thought and effort of the house- wife should b e directed toward e x - cellence i n the culinary art — toward SWIFT 10 LIFE, AND HEALTH learning- the nutritive value of foods and how best to attractively serve them. The health and efficiency of those near and dear to her depend greatly upon her faithfulness in this important duty, and her success helps to keep doctor's bills from the list of expenses. In purchasing supplies for the larder, the cost of meats is not considered by those who find a wholesome and satisfying substitute in grains, fruits, and those things that grow out of the earth and are edible. It is a saving to buy a t wholesale, stock that will keep for any de- sired length of time. In canned goods, buy the best rather than a cheap lot that later may b e found to be un- serviceable. D e 1 i c a - tessen foods — store salads, pickles, cheese, bakery cake, and the like — should not be in- , dulged in, as they have the disadvantage of being unwholesome and expensive. A saving is made by buying flour by the barrel and making the coveted home- made bread. Though one is glad to get canned goods at the grocer's in an emergency, the home-canned fruit and vegetables in glass are superior and cheaper. Tomatoes put up in this way are de- sirable additions to the dinner menu. Many inexpensive and nourishing dishes, as baked beans, macaroni and spaghetti, are made more appetizing by the use of tomato sauce in their composition. HUSKING CORN In the matter of clothing, bargain days at department stores, which occur semi- annually, will offer at reduced prices good and attractive material that can be made up into becoming garments; also silks and velvets can be procured for millinery purposes. It is best to ignore ephemeral styles. In the care of cloth- ing, much can be saved by always wear- ing clothes s u rt e d to the work in hand, never wearing street or visit- ing dresses around the cook-stove. It has been said that every man at fifty should b e his own physician. Be that as it may, every one ought to know that seasons of work and rest should be well balanced; for if nerve energy is too heavily drawn upon, and not given a chance t o re- cover tone, the result in some cases will be a nervous breakdown; but constant care of the body-machine will enable it to accom- plish the most work, whatever the pursuit in life. To attend to the utmost clean- liness in house and person and immediate surroundings will dispense with the doc- tor's services, and therefore keep down the cost of living in many cases. A day amid the quiet scenes of nature now and then when the need is felt for a change from the busy streets of the city or from the routine of daily house- hold cares and work, will act as a restor- ative, resting mind and body, and may save the expense of medical attention.
