OZENA. DRY FORM OF CATARBH WITH UNPLEASANT ODOR

One of the most. emlaarrasing and dlSi'Te&Sll'l;,' ailments of man- kind is the third or dry form of catarrh in which the lining of the nose and of the adjoining sinuses becomes inflamed. dries into scabs and these scabs have a terribly disagreeable odor. The disease is tailed ozena.

Various methods of treating oz- ena. including the use of the drug prostigmin. sometimes called neos-l tigmine. are available. This drug helps many cases as does also sex gland extracts. as there is a very dennite relationship between the nose and the sex glands.

In Minerva Medicine. Turin, Dr. G. Finocchi reports his results ob- tained by use of chlorophyll in the treatment of ozena. "Three pat- ients. with ozena at the initial or early stage. and seven in whom the disease had extended to the back of throat causing headaches. wast- ing of bone. formation of scabs and the characteristic unpleasant odor. were treated with chlorophyll. A sponge saturated with a 0.5 per cent isotonic solution of chloro- phyll or a 1 per cent chlorophyll ointment was applied to the lining (mucous membrane) of the nose daily for two or three hours. With- in a. few days the bad odor dis- appeared, scabs and headaches de- creased,-and the mucous membrane acquired a deeper color.

When the treatment was inter-I rupted for 10 or more days. osenax reappeared rapidly. Elimination or. disappearance of the odor was per-i manent while the chlorophyll oint- ment or large doses of a powder obtained from the isotonic solution were applied every two days.

Dr. Flnocchi does not claim that chlorophyll cures ozena: it neu- tralizes the offensive odor which means much to the happlnem and moral of the. patient as the odor of ozcna makes it practically imposs- ible for the patient to mix with others. .

The above will be good news for ozena patients who have been under the care of nose and throat spec- ialists and found they had allowed the disease to progress beyond the

Q. How long should I. widow wear deep mourning after the death of her husband?

Planting bulbs and perennials for the spring garden these days and remembering all the lovely color and beauty of the season that has passed. At this time the evergreen hedges and the berried shrtibs show their worth in the garden; and for many weeks will give us satisfac- tlon.

Violas and pansies were never better all summer as they delight in cool weather and moisture, and an- nual Larkspur and Marigoids are very good.

The hardy garden Chrysanthe- mums have been potted up for bloom indoors as they are late var- ieties. and it has been a. busy time gathering in all the Geranium slips for winter blooming. The large Ger- aniums will be wintcred in the basement and with little water- ing and some light are easy to care for until used next year.

Tender bulbs . . . Tuberous Be- gonias. Dahlias and some new bulbs. Acindanthera that look very much like Glad bulbs have

bloom later so they were potted up for blooming, At this time the lit-

plants that must be gathered in and it is quite a struggle to leave some annuals that do very well asp house plants. Fragrant Carnations are brought and fragrant Stocks: also hright Nasturtiums that are covered with fragrant flowers and one or two rose trees for loveliness on a dull day in winter.

Many perennials and bietnnials from the field have been transplant- ed to their borders and carefully covered with wire because of some bury young hens. These hens have been so busy scratching out little seedlings and this week they will be fenced in their permanent quar- ters or this gardener will go fool- ish.

Sixty small seedlings of I. choice variety of Delphinium were lifted into flats and carefully laid under a. shrub Lrntil time could be found for planting; when that time arriv- ed the hens had scratched them an out on the grass and as they were small and tender many of them were lost. I had planned leaving them in the field until mi-trig. but the land was to be ploughed and they had to be lifted. I am care- fully watering the plants that are left. and hope that some beauty will be left for June days.

I O I

Dozens of fragrant garden Pinks. were planted in the new garden wall among the rocks and the to!!- age is so good all year in these plants and they are never out of bloom.

Linum was also planted in the rock wall and the dainty blue flo- wer is very attrwtive on the slen- der stems. sweet William and Fox- glove in quantities and a few Can- terbury Bells will give lovely color when it is needed before the An- nuals begin. October is I busy month in the garden. v

"And where do- you stay?" a summer visitor asked with some curiosity of James. who. poor fellow. finds some inconvenience in shuttling between Alderlee. and this place "in the road" from there. . . "Now bring me my glasses!" we have heard him say. as we settled himself in the arm- chair of kitchen. the children about him smiling in anticipation of being read to. But where were they? out Home on a mantel . . . And "send out my pipe. Ellen," has been a request which has reached us more than once in re- cent weeks when duty or a fancy had taken him there for the day.

"But never mind if you can't see to read to us." Gage has made Wmnromise. "we'd just as soon you'd tell us a good yarn. would- n't we. Jamie? One about long ago . . . about foals .- and the heifer that went away to the heart of the woods to have her calf - and how old you were when you learned to plow - and about that horse that could open a hooked stable-door with his teeth. Do you know." with an in- gratiating smile. "you've got some real good stories! We like them." And James replied. "Why. I mostly stay here with Ellen!" "Then." the visitor laughed, " your heart is here?” Jdmes considered a long moment. viewing. we sus- pected the old rooms and build- ings. the familiar fields of Alder- lea. He grinned boyishly. "I .. I wouldn't say that," he replied "It's habit. I reckon!"

What interesting visitors we have. bringing to us intimate glimpses of their lives and living! From the ends of the Island -the sides, and between: kindly older folk. wise and understanding in their years. calm as the autumn fields that these days smile in content in the sunlight; parents of bright young hopefuls. hoping much. planning much for their welfare: a precious new babe in a basket looking about with the new-blue of eyes that had caught the shade of "the sky, as I passed through." little ones trying their first steps and school-chil- dren like ours.

Folks visiting The Island from afar - girls of our yesteryears on holiday. lads of James' childhood. couples from the long ago: farm- ers and their wives "enjoying a day off" with like interests to ours; an artist loving the lights and shadows - and present glory - of the farmlands: a career girl not unlike young Ellen, curious as to "how the other half lives." in- trigued by our farm-life.
