66 Worth more per dollar because 
they produce more per acre” 
strated and a pure product of the islands 
of Langerhans was obtained. Later, 
more simple and better methods of ob¬ 
taining this extract were found, until now 
the pancreatic glands of animals obtained 
from the great abbatoirs of the country 
are able to supply, in practically unlim¬ 
ited amount, all the insulin needed, and 
the price has been so reduced as to put it 
within the reach of all who need it. 
From all that has been said of the won¬ 
ders of insulin, it would be natural to 
suppose that, in it, a cure for diabetes 
had been found. Unfortunately this is 
not the case. Insulin only serves to con¬ 
trol the course of the disease, supplying 
the body with the secretion which the 
patient’s own pancreas cannot elaborate, 
and, without which, death must ultimate¬ 
ly ensue. Insulin cannot restore tissues 
in the pancreas which disease has already 
destroyed, but it can reinforce those 
which are left by substituting for the 
lacking product of the damaged organ, 
and thus enable the body to continue di¬ 
gestion of sugars, starches, etc. It has 
shown itself marvelous in action, even re¬ 
storing to useful health some who had 
entered the unconscious state that, ordin¬ 
arily, immediately" precedes death from 
diabetic coma. It is not a substitute for 
dieting; the majority of cases of dia¬ 
betes may be controlled by dieting alone, 
but it steps in where dieting alone fails 
and it makes possible the indefinite con¬ 
tinuance of useful and happy life that, 
without it, would soon terminate.

for Small Children 
Thousands of mothers tell us 
they would not be without 
Children*s Musterole, the new 
and milder form of good old 
Musterole especially pre¬ 
pared for use on babies and 
small children. 
In the dead of night, when they are 
awakened by the warning, croupy 
oough, they rub the clean, white oint¬ 
ment gently over the child’s throat 
and chest and then go back to bed. 
Children’s Musterole, like regular 
Musterole, penetrates the skin with a 
warming tingle and goes quickly to tha 
seat of the trouble. 
It does not blister like the old-fash¬ 
ioned mustard plaster and it is not 
messy to apply. 
Made from pure oil of mustard, it 
takes the kink out of stiff necks, makes 
sore throats well, stops croupy coughs 
and colds. In jars, 35c.

CHILDREN'S 
Fallen Arch 
Can a fallen arch be cured? I have 
flat feet; the right is affected most; had 
it for eight or nine years. I go to the 
doctors, but I think they do not like to 
tell just how it is. I am on my feet a 
lot, and am heavy on the feet. If I 
could get some work sitting it would 
not bother me in the least. I have 
a farm, and try to work in and outside, 
and this is too much for my feet. 
Patterson, N. Y. j. R. T. 
The milder degrees of flat foot are usu¬ 
ally curable by suitable exercises for 
strengthening the muscles of the foot; 
more severe forms, accompanied by stiff¬ 
ening of the joints, may have to be treat¬ 
ed by having the bones wrenched into 
place and a plaster cast applied for a 
time to keep them there. A properly fit¬ 
ted metal arch support, to be worn in the 
shoe after replacement of the bones, is 
fiu added help. Each case has to be treat¬ 
ed according to its own requirements, 
and to devise this treatment is the work 
of a competent surgeon. M. b. d.

Eye Strain; Destroying Bindweed and 
Thistle 
1. I have been troubled for a long time 
with my eyelids. After reading by lamp¬ 
light for about half an hour I have a 
burning, painful sensation. The only re¬ 
lief I have found is frequent bathing of 
the lids with boracic acid, which is but 
temporary. Could any reader give a rem¬ 
edy? 2. We have a bad weed known as 
field bind weed. How is it destroyed? 
Have any found a remedy for getting rid 
of Canada thistles? In 1867 I killed two 
distinct patches by simply cutting with a 
hoe, and again in 1882 I completely killed 
one large and one small patch by cutting 
off with hoe. I think the whole was done 
some time in June. Canadian.

1. This trouble is frequently caused by 
eye strain, and should lead to an exam¬ 
ination of the eyes by a competent oculist 
—not an itinerant spectacle peddler. 
2. The Minnesota Experiment Station 
gives as methods of eradicating bindweed 
(wild buckwheat) disking or harrowing 
giain fields immediately after removal of 
crops to encourage Autumn germination 
of seeds, with their later destruction by 
frosts. Early Spring cultivation before 
grain is sown to kill those weeds starting. 
Harrowing grain fields, even after the 
grain is up; thorough cultivation of inter¬ 
tilled crops and short rotations in which 
grass crops are raised. 
To eradicate Canada thistles, prevent 
all plants from going to seed, even if 
necessary to go into grain fields with 
scythe and cut down considerable areas 
of grain. Flow deeply as soon as pos¬ 
sible after removing crop from infested 
land, to bring roots to surface, and har¬ 
row to prevent fall growth of plants. Re¬ 
plow late in the Fall to expose roots, and 
adopt a three-year rotation of barley, 
clover, corn or other cultivated crop. Sow 
the clover with the barley so that it will 
crowd the land in the Fall. Two crops of 
clover the following season will prevent 
much re-seeding of thistles and the land 
should be plowed soon after removal of 
the second crop. Clean cultivation of the 
tilled crop during the following season 
will eradicate stray plants. Small patches 
that can be cut by hand may be conquered 
by frequent cutting, as no weed can sur¬ 
vive continuous removal of the plant 
above ground. M. B. d.
