The doctor said

that he had appendicitis and that, it would be necessary to operate if he expected to be well again.. We decided to try Poo On Chinese Herbs and after a few treatments the boy became well and is now able to do all kinds of hard work without any more pain.

Mia F. Meinhart, who resided at 13, H. Street, Modesto Cali, U.S.A., says For 25 long years I suffered with severe pains in my left side that at, times confined me to bed for days.

Words cannot express my suffering during these years My husband spent thousands of dollars seeking relief for me, I have been to stores of doctors, many of whom were rated as specialists of high standing, but none was able to tell me what was the trouble and relieve me.

These Children Of Ours.

THE CONVALESCENT CHILD.

One of the most difficult of the "constructive fun " problems for mothers is providing recreation for children who are convalescing from Winter illnesses. Children who must lie flat on their backs but are allowed the use of their hands and arms will occupy long hours with modeling clay and crayons.

When able to sit up, the con- valescing child will enjoy simple forms of handwork such as cutting pictures from magazines and mik- ing them into a scrap book, sew- ing, coloring pictures, dressing paper dolls, stringing large beads,

and seeds,

forth, making animals, furniture and figures with toothpicks, corks, nuts, vegetables. These may all be done without, äs sistance from a grown-up. But none of the projects should be con- tinued long enough to cause fatique.

One form of the guessing game is played with rhymes. The per- son who is "it says, I Am thinking of a word that rhymes with 'call.'" Then the others nak, Is it 'tail' Is it fall and so on until they discover that brother's red ball is the answer.

Imaginary hide-and-seek is play- ed by having one person imagine himself hidden in a certain place and the others guess where that pince is. Don't you remember what fun the "old, old lady" and the "hay with the twisted kace" had playing this game. without even stirring from their garden seati
