THE DUTY OF AN AMERICAN

The president has asked Americans
TO preserve a spirit of neutrality in
their discussions of the war. A fine
Interpretation of his request was re-
Gently given in a letter from an Amer
ican educator to a man who had asked
him TO publish a defense Of one side.
Now that Europe is in the throes
OF the awful calamity so long fore
seen and dreaded by sober men, he
said. my great hope Is that the bosom
OF destruction will make clean sweep
of exaggerated militarism as guar
anty OF peace. To hasten the time
when the nations shall have learned to
settle their differences. not by whole

Neuralgia.

The eminent neurologist, with al
his special skill in diagnosis or treat
ment of nervous disease, confesses
himself impotent in the cure of neu
ralgia. He is compelled to call upon
the dentist. the nose and throat spe
cialist, the laboratory pathologist, the
surgeon or the plain family doctor to
help him out. II will not do to pres
cribe a few doses of medicine and dis
miss the patient. Relief is not to be
obtained so easily.
Neuralgia, or nerve pain, is a cry
for relief II may be a cry for bet
ter nutriment, or a cry for more
rest. or a cry for temperance. or a
cry for fresh air-but anyway it is
some cry. II makes common
toothache or a neuritis or a so called
rheumatic pain feel like a slap on
the wrist Neuralgia is unbearable
because one cannot understand why
the nerve should be making such a
terrible fuss.
Some Everyday Causes.
II is of course possible, but GER
tainly a rare thing for a person with
good sound teeth to suffer with
trifacial neuralgia. The typical case
of trifacial nerve pain, however, is

turely old lady with a cloth round
her jaw and a fixed obsession that
she is suffering terribly from

find her applying camphor or pare
goric or something to her "neurol-
ogy"
But recent experience with X-ray
photography has proved that many
a case of inveterate neuralgia of tie

molar roots-wisdom teeth which
have never erupted but are never

tomb.
The trifacial nerve apparently de-
lights in deceiving the victim OF

(tic doloreaux) in the forehead may
be the only evidence of some pres

branch to the upper jaw or the
branch to the lower jaw.

Questions and Answers.
NJ. L. writes: l. Is neuralgia
round the heart fatal. and is it cur
able? >. What are the symptoms
of appendicitis. and can it be cured
without operation?
Reply
l. a common condition is neuralgia
Of the intercostal between the ribs)
nerves which send skin branches out
just over the heart. This is in no way
serious, though it generally alarms
the patient. a much less common
condition is angina pectoris, or heart
pang, sometimes called neuralgia of
the heart. This occurs usually in
older persons and if often fatal. Inter
costal neuralgia is readily durable;
angina pectoris, being essentially a
result of hardened arteries, is not cur
able. but attacks may be warded off
or relieved by careful treatment.
?. The symptoms of appendicitis
are too variable and treacherous to
describe briefly. In simple, acute, first
attacks the more frequent symptoms
are Cd pain, at first in pit of stomach
or just over navel, after a day or two
in the right lower part of abdomen,
% tenderness in right lower area
from beginning, 90 fever. (D rapid
pulse, CD vomiting, more or less. C6)
constipation as a rule, ca muscular
rightly over right lower area. All
these symptoms are rarely present in
one case; the physician diagnoses ap-
pendicitis by physical signs found on
examination, rather than subjective
symptoms complained of by the
patient. Certain cases of appendicitis !
will recover without an operation-per- |
haps third of the first attacks. But
recurring attacks are to be expected
If the appendix is not removed during |
or following the first attack. and the |
subsequent attacks are always more !
dangerous. Appendicitis is very
treacherous disease. In a general way,
operation, performed under modern
technic, is safer than the risks of the
disease. When peritonitis develops
there Is small chance OF recovery.
