Here are some of the commoner defects and their first-aid treatment. The intention is not to help him to dispense with his doctor, but to use a doctor's expert advice to even greater advantage,

Common ailments of the digestive tube are: Indigestion, constipation, toothache, tonsillitis.

Indigestion is not a disease but a symptom, a red flag. Three, things may cause it-in this order of frequency-chronic worry, faulty eating habits, disease.

Nine times out of ten indigestion is due to worry, So Smith should prescribe for, himself pence of mind, at least immediately before, during and after meals.

BAD

AD eating habits are: enting too much (five small are better than three large meals), oating loo fast, too hot, too cold, when fatigued, when without appetite, when teeth or tonsils are septic,

Remedy is to eat regularly, but keep the appetite sharp. If Smith has little appetite, let him take.sweetened fruit-juices or milk with plain biscuits instead of a meal.

If Smith likes to fast occasionally, he should take a sweetened drink every three hours to prevent harmful effects. A complete fast is not good for any one..

He should get up from table feeling not hungry, but sufficiently comfortable to be able to work immediately.

Symptoms that suggest disease and

an idea born?

THIS streamlining of the imagination

acema to me the most difficult part of Smith's problem. If the human mind were. incapable of imagination we should still be living in conditions identical with thone of aur primitive ancestors,

All progrras in material cívilisation, in arts, literature, philosophy, science, is duc to the men who "could think of something clac". Their contribution may have been amail. They had possibly only one idea to contribute.. Donbiless man had discovered how to move heavy objects by means of round logs long before the wheel was invented.

Think of the greatness of that inventor who had the idea of cutting a circular dise

from the end of the log, making ́u'round hole in it, and fixing an axle, to his cart.

By what mental processes and by what gift docs a man "think of something elso"? An honcet confession by men of genius,. telling how they blundered through to their mont brilliant discoveries, would be of in- fensa interest.

Ono necessity is concentration--not a deliberate conscious concentration, which I believe to be impossible-but a concentra- tion which is as 'unconacions and inevitable as the living functions of the body.

You do not tell a young man that in order to be in love he must concentrate on the image of his beloved. If he is in love he cannot help concentrating,

My Aberdeen terrier has a capacity- which I envy-jor concentrating his whole mind and being on a piece of cake just out of his reach. If a man deliberately makes an effort to concentrate, he is thinking about the act of concentration, not about the thing on which he wishes to concentrate,
