Therefore it is the duty of every thoughtful mother to prevent harm to
her children resulting from the drugs they favour. All anti-febrile
chemicals are rank poisons and contrary to nature's way. _Only by
producing a higher temperature is nature able to throw off impurities_;
but in many cases this becomes dangerous, because so very few know how
to avoid an over-taxation of nature's strength. Instead of assisting
nature by keeping the head cool, the feet warm and the bowels and pores
open, the anxious mothers will wrap their babies up nicely, give them
some patent or other obnoxious medicine, and really kill nature's
efforts by means of narcotics and other poisons. Results are always
fatal. The mother must learn to use correct, harmless remedies and to
follow the instructions given nearly 3000 years ago by the wise
Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine," who warned every medical
practitioner with these words: "Nil nocere." (Never do harm).

(d). _Dose_: In acute cases, that is to say, in emergency cases where
the patient, for instance a child, has developed a high temperature, and
the doctor has not as yet diagnosed any special form of disease, or has
been unable to do so because the time of incubation of the germ has not
passed, give the patient a dose of plasmogen, that is, one gram, or as
much as will lie on a ten-cent piece, or one-fourth of a level
teaspoonful. Dissolve it in one-half tumbler of water, (or milk if
prescribed), and let the patient drink it slowly at intervals, as seems
necessary.

In ordinary cases individual directions should be followed.

LYMPHOGEN (LYMPH CELL PRODUCER.)

(a). In nearly every tissue and organ of the body there is a marvelous
network of vessels, called the lymphatics. These are busily at work
taking up and making over waste fluids or surplus materials derived from
the blood and tissues generally. The lymphatics seem to spring from the
parts in which they are found, like the rootlets of a plant in the soil.
They carry a turbid, slightly yellowish fluid, called lymph, very much
like blood without the red corpuscles. The lymph is carried to the
lymphatic glands where it undergoes certain changes to fit it for
entering the blood.

It is a fact that very few doctors know, that the whole nervous system
can only be fed by the lymph, whose central station is the so-called
ductus thoracicus (thoracic duct), in the upper region of the chest. As
