CAUSE! AND TREATMENZI‘ OI‘ HTVES

When hives (urticaria) occurs, the first thought naturally is to re- lieve the itching and burning, but there are so many substances that can cause hives that We must try to find the cause as soon as pos- sible_

Thus, as certain foods are often to blacne, the first method of treat- ment is to give an emetic to tn- duce vomiting, such as a. teaspoon of mustard in half a glass of water. If the food has been tn the body for some time. then a dose or castor oil or Epsom salts should be given to drive it out of the system as quickly as possible The drug mos‘, oolnmonly used to relieve symptoms in the injection of 10 to l5 mlnlms (drops) of adrenalin under the skin.

While cleansing out the stomach and intestine and the injection of adrenalin (epinephrine) give almost immediate relief from the itching and burning, it should be remem- bered that the system has received a shock and so rest in bed, with liquid food‘ for a day or two, is ad- \'isa.ble_

WhBn hives are over the cntire body. baking soda, which is always ‘soothing to the inflamed skin, is effective-a cupful in the regular bath or half a cup in the wash turb. After drying, touching the hives

with baking soda talcum or flour prolongs the rr-llef from burning

While the above treatment gives mnstderabie relief in all cases, the cause of the hives should be sought so that. chronic hives or frequent attacks of hives can be prevented by avoiding the foods, drugs and other substances found to be the cause or causes. In addition to these causes. it is not known that just as emo- tlonal disturbances can increase the heart rate, raise the blood pressure, cause stomach upsets and diarrhoea, s0 can they cause hives and other eruptions of the skin. We all have seen the blushing of the skin caused by embarrassment.

one of the substances manufac- tured by the body tissues is histam- ine, a factor associated with as- thma, hay fever and other allergic symptoms including hives For this reason what are konwn as antihistamine drugs are used in the treatment of hives_ Benadryl is one

of these drugs. '

"Why, no," said the lady solemnly. "How on earth could 1 know what I think about n. thing until I've heard what I have to say on the subject?”

But affccliﬂutllﬁ. or so fortunately it turned out to be. "You never know just how a young ewe will use her small one. James commented when he, chrry- ing the new-born gently, led the procession to the barnyard, “some- times they won't take up with them at all." “But she will," I endeavour- ed to disperse his concern, "you know, I've seen girls with not A thought in their heads before mar- rlage about the care of children. make wonderful mothers when they came to take up that role." The two provided much interest for grand-daughter who ln a strange way she has of getting acquainted with‘ new stock that reminds one of Biblical stories, must first of all come near enough to touch them with a soft hand. Then, "It's nice!" Ihe will exclalm beaming. "I know it's nice-I touched it!" So for the present the other ewes were returned to the near eadow for as grand-daughter related after a conference with James over the matter: "There lust milht be more—you can never tell!"

I O O Pursuing the close of our house- cleaning. not yet within ranse We today, directed sometime! listless efforts we acknowledge towards that of the kitchen. We washed "the paints." It is an old room, this one of ours elled to the main house in u way they had of bulld- lng in the distant palt. If nome- tlmes to the cleaner it has its an- noyances, te James iris without doubt the most comfortable room tn the world, and certainly wrapped up for hlm with a bewltchlng mem- ory. It is roomy as kitchen: go, and ls quite bright. The early sun en- ter; n, by way of two small-paned window: and through there too the moon at full steals in at dusk to make a fetching lattice work on floor and wall. Here too Jamel has come many u time to look out upon barns and farmyard, often with the remark: “It'| a great help, Ellen. to be able to look out at the bulld- ings from the kitchen. You know when building, a farmer should al- ways make that his first considera- tion." I O O A third window over-looks the old mill in the depth of our valley. framed now with the frothy red of tiny-leaved maples a: well as the evergreens, and here it is that the weaterlng sun comes in slantlngly to catch Tabby on the couch at her afternoon nap. From here we view the dimpllng Summer water of the pond, and often James picking up hll hat after u meal to return to the seeding or it may be the bay- lng or many another farm-work dc- pendent on it, look: out to regard the weather. There are the two entrances to make James boast to Jeanie or Karolyn: "If there's n breath of wind on the move at all. it comer tn to cool our kitchen."
