Ascertain and if possible remove cause. In absence of a malarial influence or of local inflammatory disease, prescribe a simple bitter tonic or a mineral acid, with outdoor life and appropriate exercise; Elixir Gentian and Phosphoric Acid. Eupeptic Hypophosphites Elixir Pepsin Compound, B 2, Effewescent Granules Sodium Phos phate are remedies likely to be useful. Lawn Tennis may do more than medicine. and a change of boarding place may be the best prescription of all.1

DEBILITY
Treatment varies with cause. Hematinic tonics are generally indicated. Eupeptic H ypop hosphites, Haemo-mangan with Arsenic, Elixir Iron, Quinine and Strychnine, Vitalic Hypophosphites, may be particularized.
