Reynaud’s Disease 
Although I have been a subscriber for 
nearly 10 years, I do not recall having 
troubled you for information but once 
before, lienee I feel somewhat at liberty 
to ask If you or any of your readers 
have been troubled with “Reynand's dis¬ 
ease,” u rare incurable disease of the 
fingers. If so, how long have they had 
it. and what they did lo stay its progress, 
if anything? If they met with any success 
through following the advice of a physi¬ 
cian I would gladly pay his fee for con¬ 
sultation if they would send me his name 
and address, Two physicians here in 
Boston say it is incurable, hut 'it does 
not seem to make much progress in a 
warm climate : that sometimes it. can he 
checked by certain treatment. It is only 
troublesome in cool weather, when the 
Ihermometer drops to 40 degrees Fah¬ 
renheit or lower. The fingers get. numb 
and turn purple and white, and often 
feel as if immersed in salted ice water. 
The quickest relief I have found is alter¬ 
nately to dip them in hot and cobl water 
until the blood returns and they begin 
to tingle. Have the water as‘hot as pos¬ 
sible. W. C. M. 
Massachusetts. 
I think your physicians have told you 
all that is known about Reynaud’s dis¬ 
ease. and am sure that there is little hope 
of learning anything new from readers 
of Tins R. X.-Y. it is. as you say, a 
rare disease, though I do not think that 
the outlook for recovery is quite as hope¬ 
less. as you think. Xo treatment could 
he intelligently prescribed for you with¬ 
out a most painstaking examination by 
physicians competent to find fitly under¬ 
lying physical condition that might be 
responsible for the trouble You cer¬ 
tainly should have no trouble in obtain¬ 
ing such an examination, or a series of 
them, by as competent phys : cians as the 
profession affords and, if Boston physi¬ 
cians are unable to cure you, there is 
little use in looking elsewhere. The very 
rarity of your disease would stimulate nti 
interest in you that one with a common 
everyday ailment might find it difficult 
to match. In that respect you are fortu¬ 
nate. I judge from what you say that 
you have the disease in a rather mild 
form and that you do not need to take 
an overly lugubrious view of your situ¬ 
ation. m. b. n.

Remarks About the Milk Diet 
Having read a number of articles in 
The I!. X.-Y. of the beneficial effect of a 
milk diet, and being a sufferer from loco¬ 
motor ataxia. I thought I would give it 
a trial. My friends, by the way. all tell 
me that I am a close kin to a rnule. They 
say that I should let well pnotigh alone, 
but that, old sayiug still holds good, that 
a difference of opinion makes horse rac¬ 
ing. Monday, February 27, I started 
fasting, drank nothing hut water; ditto 
February 2S: ditto M a roll 1. up ro noon 
time. That afternoon I drank two quarts 
of milk; March 2. drank three quarts; 
March 2, four quarts; March 4. four 
quarts, pud four quarts today. Having 
great faith in your paper. I want to ask 
you whether I should abstain from all 
solid food, soups and fruits. I feel that 
I nut not quite as strong as I was before 
I started taking milk, and had not any 
too much strength nt that time. I aril 
unable to walk except with the assistance 
of t wo ^ people, and then can only go a 
short distance without undue fatigue. 
J. R. R. 
Your disorder is rather a difficult one, 
hitt if you would wish to see what the 
milk diet has done for another, who was 
in very had condition from the same dis¬ 
order. try by all means to get a copy of 
I'hijiiCal Cullnrc Magazine and read Dr. 
Bowers’ article. You cannot expect any¬ 
thing hut a rather weakened condition for 
several weeks, especially as you have not 
been using as much milk as would he rec¬ 
ommended to help bring hack normal 
health. You shoqld use at least six 
quarts daily, drinking half a pint every 
hour till you have the full amount con-

Stucco Inside Silo 
I would like to know whether nnv of 
the readers of Thk It. X.-Y. have had*anv 
experience with :i stave silo stuccoed oit 
the inside, and if it was a success? I 
have a stave silo that blew down last 
Spring. We set it up last Fall, hut the 
silage did not keep well, and I was think¬ 
ing of putting wire netting on the inside 
and having it cemented on the wire. I 
would like to know if it will work, or is 
there a better way to fix it? L. H. F.
