Altogether the book is an excellent hand a d book for office workers in which eve z girl g xl will find her own problems of life discussed. It is "expert" in the sense that it is written by•irls who are themselves: coping with: he prob- lems. But "Health Confessions of Busi- ness Women" has other uses, ones probably not contemplated by, the edi- tors or authors. Sociologically, it is of interest as showingthe livingcon- ditions, standards of life and educa- tional attainments of many different types of working women. It is for the psychologist, however, that it is of chief interestfor here we have let- ters from women of many different' temperaments all struggling with the central problem of making the most oftheir lives and each one attacking the problem from her own angle. That the part played by temperament is enormous is easily seen—there are. cheerful, confident letters from the girls with happy dispositions who find life good and interesting despite rather deadening circumstances, and. sad, dispirited, letters from others whose actual conditions of life are apparently easier. Following rapidly upon each other are views from the practical and the ` dreamer, the ma terialist and' the idealist, the socially minded and the egotist, the `mixer:" and the solitary, the pessimistic and the optimistic, the "pusher", and the drifter. For any one who is interested in studying humanity and comparing its varying types "Health Confessions of Business Women" is in a modest: and unassuming way a valuable hu- man document. themselves and is the joint work of :between 200 and 300 secretaries clerks;.. stenographers, b•ookkeepers, elephone operators, and others. "Health Confessions. of 13>,iSiness Wo- men" is .a collection of very frank and revealing letters on the health prob- 'lems—almost, one might say,, the "life problems -of business women. r 'The introduction discusses the special fea- tures of the office worker's ' life and points out that the two rival hazards are, on the one hand, monotony, on the other, • over -filling of life. The first chapter dealswith the i phi , sop_iy of health and shows that as no two women have precisely the same health problem each one should do her own "stock -taking" and make her own rules accordingly. The sec- ond chapter` covers the' psychological factors in'health and discusses such s subJjcts as congenial employment, use of leisure, the necessity of •havin an alert mind and broad outside inter-- ests, religion, service of others,'moral; qualities, etc., etc. The, third chs to de P r g 1s with health in its narrowest meaning,, physical health, and gives the • business girls' own experience on subjects such as food, sleep, air, exercise, etc. The fourth chapter goes in some de- tail into the problem': of where and how to live in a boarding house or rooming house, alone or with others, showing the effect on health of the different ways of living and suggest- ing what methods would best 'suit the. different temperaments. The fifth capter deals with work- ing conditions, such as seating, light, rest rooms, rest periods, organization, etc., the sixth with "personal main- tenance," that is, all the factors con- cerned in the "up -keep" ! of a feminine worker. The seventh, perhaps the most original chapter in the book, is called "Technique of life" and is con- cerned with method—how to arrange your life and plan your time, how to Copies of this book can be obtained from the Division of Industrial- Hy- giene, Provincial Board of Health of Ontario, Spadina :,House, Toronto. KEEFUTT:Lf.:ONES. Winter is a dangerous season for the little ones.. The days are change- able—one bright, the next one cold and stormy, that the mother` is afraid to -take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tab- lets.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and the treatment should be the same as fore other forms of neuralgia. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat- ment' and 'the patient freciuently suf- fers for years. So many cases of sciatica have been helped by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified In giv- ing this treatment: a thorough trial. Dr. Williams Pink Pills do notimp S PY relieve pain -they correct diseases caused by weak, watery blood. Thus the are ,beneficial Y b a in the treatment of even the most severe disorders..+Their. value in cases .ofthis kind: is shown by the experience of Miss. Lizzie Free- man,Nogies.-Creek, Ont., who says: "I was confined to bed for seven weeks with sciatica. 1Vhat I suffered is almost impossible to realize. The doctor did' alle could cold for me and yet I was not getting any better, and he told me the troublea wslil.elyto leave me crippled. A neighbor who was in to see me, strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I de- cided:to do so andafter taking thein for "a while found they were helping me. I continued taking the pills until I had taken nine boxes, when I was able to walk as well as ever, and felt that I was fully restored. In view of what these pills have done for me I strongly recommend 'them to •all suf- ferers;" If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor, watery blood or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- liams': Pink Pills now and Note how your strength and health will improve. The .new sales tax will not increase the price -of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, as the company' pays the tax. You can still obtain thepills through any medici ne dealer at 50 cents a box, or by mail, post paid, at this price, from The Dr. Williams' 'Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. No Fun.
