danger to life and property on the
American side Of the line, and he un-
dertook to communicate the represen-
tations to Maytorena.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT,
Neuritis.


Neuritis, which is inf1amma-
} ton Of a nerve, may be either
acute or chronic, and sometimes
J. an acute attack passes into a
chronic form. The chief symp-
tom Of neuritis is pain in the
} affected nerve. Sometimes the
patient describes the pain as
) burning" sometimes as shoot
ing or ''darting' and sometimes
as boring" Movement makes
; 1t worse, and it Is generally
} more severe at night. Cases
that can be traced to some slight
} injury are likely to get well, but
a chronic case may persist for
many months. When neuritis
is the result Of a direct injury
to a nerve surgical trea tment
may be necessary. If the nerve
has been divided by a wound it
must be brought together and
sutured. II it is pinched or COM
pressed by tumor or an abscess
} or piece Of fractured bone it
J can be relieved only by surgery.
In all cases the treatment Of
. neuritis must include great care
for the general health, absolute
rest for the affected part and re-
lief for the wearing pain. Some
. ;.
times the sick nerve can be kept
at rest by a bandage or a sling.
It it cannot be helped in that
way the patient may have to 60
to bed. Massage IS not advisable
while the inflammation is high.
but Is often Of service in the
later stages Of the trouble.
