Circumcision.

Query: Some time ago the health officer of this city lectured in the Y. M. C. A. on the "Sanitary Laws of Moses," and among the laws of that time he dwelt on the laws of circumcision, and the benefits to health. If you are willing to answer, I would like to ask the following questions: 1. Do you consider a long foreskin detrimental to health, if so, in what way? 2. Would you advise circumcision at the age of fifty?— W. E. G., Pa.

Answer: In answer to your first question, I should be inclined to say yes, it is a detriment. This can be partly overcome by careful attention to cleanliness. I do not consider a long foreskin so dangerous as a tight one, that is not easily movable. The 'danger of a long foreskin is that it retains secretions beneath it and the decomposition of these materials produces irritating substances that sometimes give rise to inflammatory conditions.

Second: No, I would not advise circumcision at the age of fifty unless for some very special reason. If some disease has rendered the foreskin immovable, it might be necessary, but otherwise I would not.

The Jews who practice circumcision are especially free from venereal diseases. This is partly due to circumcision and partly due to their habits. In young boys care of the foreskin is a very important matter, which is frequently neglected. The earlier habit of paying no attention to it sometimes resulted in diseases of the nervous system, even convulsions, and the latter day attempt to bring the foreskin back before its natural time has resulted in injuries of another kind. The foreskin is an organ of real importance, but in treating on this subject many writers go to the ridiculous extreme, which is often worse than the old-time neglect of the whole subject.

Psycho-Therapy Growing.

That the medical profession is on the eve of a great medico-religious movement was the opinion expressed by Dr. Frank B. Wynn last night at the meeting of the Indianapolis Medical Society. Christian Science, Dowieism and the other mental healing cults, he declared, had all a grain of truth in them, hid in a mass of chaff.

The medical profession, he stated, on the other hand, had underestimated the influ ence of mental healing. Great physiologica discoveries, he reasoned, had so intereste the physician, appealing to him on the prac tical side, that psycho-therapy had to an ex tent been neglected.

"No one can doubt," he said, "that w are on the eve of a great medico-religior movement. The Emmanuel movement ha received such attention and such an impetu that nearly 100 churches already have th plan in operation."

Ten Day Trial Treatment sent free to prove it.

A valuable discovery has been made in the Alfalfa plant which chemical analysis shows to contain most of the elements which go to make up the human body. Already the ingredients of this field plant have been used with remarkable results, and a well-known expert has testified after an extended analysis that Robinson's Alfalfa-Nutrient contains no alcohol, narcotics, opiates, poisonous, or deleterious ingredients of any kind.

The Alfalfa plant has been known for its wonderful fattening properties, but not until recently has it been known to be a most remarkable specific for weak nerves, sleeplessness, bad digestion, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, blood impurities, sallow face, deadlooking eyes, general weakness, lack of ambition, kidney troubles, torpid liver, malaria, rheumatism. anemia and many female troubles.

Alfalfa-Nutrient will give you a vivacious feeling; put strength in your nerves, rich red blood in your veins, regulate your bowels, and put all your vital organs in such splendid order that your face will clear up at once, and your complexion become velvety and and rosy, and your whole body will bound with new vigor and happiness.

To prove that this is absolutely true, we will send for 4c postage a 35c package in plain wrapper, together with a 56 page scientific book "How to Develop the Form and Secure Perfect Health", which will probably surprise you. Lady and gentlemen agents are wanted. Write today for free trial to

They are worth nothing to the masses. But not so with your Journal. Your Journal, I am happy to say, is a journal for the people, and I only wish it was possible for it to be in every home in the United States. It is a valuable book for the common people to read. It would be hard to estimate its real value to the people if they should read it with care.

I am a great believer in "The Grand Mother School of Herb Teas" and a hand treatment, such as a manual therapeutist gives. I always vote against the use of poison in the treatment of disease. I am unable to understand how a doctor can make a sick man well with a drug that will make a well man sick. I am afraid of all medicine that will make well people sick, and I happen to know that poison will

do just that very thing.

If you can correctly diagnose the disease of your patient and can then remove the cause of that disease, your patient will soon get well of his own accord. The less medicine people take the better it is for them.

TWELVE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC.............postpaid 50c

This booklet comprises a series of articles on solar biology, which undertake to bring to the reader in simple language the claims of modern astrology. While they eliminate much of the superstition included under the term astrology, yet they present a broad basis for ascertaining the mental characteristics of the individual, based on the date of birth. The book is more than the equal of any work on so-called astrology selling for $1.00. No specious theories are advanced therein and every statement has been tested and is believed to be as near the truth as it is possible to place this sublime science. LESSONS ON DIGESTION............postpaid 12c This little booklet is worth its weight in gold to persons who have awakened to the fact that in order to have good health they must give attention to their diet and treat their stomachs with as much consideration as they do their eyes or their minds. It is as necessary to have proper food for the stomach as it is to have proper food for the mind. There are five chapters in the booklet which cover the subject of digestion completely and the articles are valuable to either the sick or the well.

PLAIN TALKS TO YOUNG MEN.......postpaid 12c It is not necessary for us to enter into a detailed description of this booklet, but we simply say that the Doctor takes the young man into his confidence and tells him what every parent should tell his son in early youth. It dispels all the superstitions on the subject that have gained currency, and brings good cheer to the young man who has been scared to death by quack doctors. Any parent may safely place this booklet in the hands of his boy and will agree with us upon reading the same that the author has done a great work tor mankind in preparing it. MOTHER'S HOME REMEDIES........postpaid 25c

This booklet is a collection of the remedies and prescriptions published in Volume 32 of The Columbus Medical Journal, and in almost every case the remedy has been found valuable in the home treatment of disease. Almost all of the remedies have been given to the world by non-medical people who have tried them in their homes and found them valuable, as well as simple. The prescriptions given therein are written in plain language and can filled for a few cents by any druggist. While some of the remedies are old stand-bys and have had years of use, still others have never been published before; and this booklet will be found exceedingly interesting to any mother who cares for the health of her family and who does not call in a doctor for every little ache or pain.
