Is essentially a medical one. It is the adjustment of members of the armed forces to normal American life.Even for the person who has not been wounded, or even had any nervous shock or fatigue from combat, the adjustment is going to be verydifficult and gradual In the majority of instances.A fellow who has been away from every normal home influence, very much on Ills own much of theQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS v- V.:—What should be the cere or bunions?

It Is likely to occur during pregnancy on account of pressure on those veins, or in appendicitis, or any pelvic inflammation. The best remedies are heat and rest. The acute phase lasts about two weeks, but the leg may be troublesome for some time.M. B.—Before the freeze I bought two bicycles. It took me two years to learn to ride one of them. I am 47.
