That Body Of Yours

for three "presentation parties" have been arranged for early May.

Though, these functions are somewhat less formal than even- ing Courts, a summons to attend carries just the same social dis- tinction. But 1t is a sign of the times that much of the stiffness hitherto associated with Court events has been abolished-

They have been made more democratic, and never befcre has wealth, birth, or influence meant so little in ootnining an invita- tion t.o Buckingham Palace.

Those who are to be presented "recognition" include some who run businesses of their own. or who are employed by commer- cial firms.

ASTHMA

Apfew years ago I found myself writing very often about the liver because so many men and woman, at or about. middle age, find them- selves bothered with gas attacks. and pain in the upller right. side of abdomen. I also kept. pointing out the great help to health of a prop- erly working liver. The liver does 50 many i0bs in the body: manu- factures bile, Nature's purgative; stores up fat and also sugar that can be used in an emergency; re- moves wastes and poisons from the blood.

The suggestiom for keeping the liver in. good working oondmon were, not. eating too much starch and fat food. and bending exercis- es (knees straight).

Lately I have not been writing so often about the liver, but about the treatment of asthma and also 350113 f-'l3”9P5Y ” use in my stud- ent days there was no special treat- ment; for asthma. and the only Y-WHY-ment for epilepsy were the quleting drugs.

Because physicians are able so give ielief to asthmatics in most cases it is well that these patients should know this and consult, their physicians. It has been found that practically all cases of asthma are caused by to) allergy or worsen- sltivencss to various substances - furs, feathers, foods, dust,s.snd tb) defects of nose and throat. There are also cases of asthma caused by infection and a few de- ilnltcly caused by emotional dis- tunbanccxs. .

A distressing sight to parents is to see one of their children suffer- ing an asthmatic attack with vio- lent and unproductive coughing.

- in "The Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin." Dr. Samuel Livingston states that the treatment for cl-ind. ren who have repeated attacks of asthma is use of X-ray. X-ray and radium treatment help other nose ailments, particularly the third or dxy form of catarrh. with the dis- agreeable odor. Another condition greatly relieved by radiation is the form of deafness caused by soft adenoid EFowt.hs in back or throat which are blocking the entrance gfuthe tube carrying 31: to middle

In the case of many of these asthmatic children the fact that infection was present was discov. Med because the blood clotted so rapidly.

In the l030's this commercial- isation of royal Courts was caus- lng anxiety in the Lord Chom- berlain's department at St. James's Palace, where the func-. tions are arranged. A well-filled purse was the thing the King wanted to influence the invita- tion lists.
