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.

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.

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.

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."
