Acute Indigestion.

You occasionally read Of some
prominent person--a business man
or a politician. for example-who, in
the midst Of his activity is suddenly
seized with an attack of acute in
digestion" You think Of il as an
unpleasant experience, but neverthe-
less as an illness from which the suf-
ferer will rapidly recover after TAX
ing an emetic. perhaps. or a dose Of
-ralomei or Of castor oil The acute
Indigestion Of the man past middle
age, however, is very different from
that Of child or even Of young
adult who has dined not wisely but
too well The acute Indigestion Of
the older person may have no imme-
date relation 10 eating True. il not
infrequently strikes its victim while
he is speaking at a public dinner; but
probably he has partshen very spar
ingly Of the food, for the man who
has something important to say on
such occasions is usually careful to
eat and to drink very little.
As a matter Of fact, the condition
is usually not Indigestion at all. but
arterial spasm. what physicians call
angina abdominis.--a condition Of
the same nature as the more famil-
lar angina pectoris. and differing
from Il only in the seat Of the spasm
and Of the pain. II is one Of the
symptoms 81 arteriosclerosis the pain
is in the abdomen because the spas
modic contraction occurs in the add
ominal aorta-the great artery that
runs down alongside the spine
The attack begins suddenly with
severe, often excruciating. pain in
the abdomen, which radates from
the central point, and sometimes
passes into the back At the same
time the victim suffers from anxiety
and restlessness and he expels more
or less gas from the stomach. Some
unusual physical exertion.-such as
running, lifting heavy parcels or car
rying heavy bag. working too hard
in the garden.--or an intense or
prolonged mental strain is the inn
mediate cause Of the attack.
Inhalation Of nitric of amyl may
shorten the attack. but ordinarily rest
and the application Of heat. by means
of poultice or preferably a hotwat-
er bottle, will be all that is necessary
to subdue the pain. The arterial
sclerosis must be treated by appro-
pirate measures, largely dietetic. and
the patient must carefully avoid ov-
erexertion Of mind or body. Such
attacks in late middle age or in adj
vanced years are danger signals;
when the person heeds their warning
he may find them to be blessing in
disguise.

Birmingham has expanded industrially

see the number of women substitutes

in the war. The working men and
women have better credit, but too many
OF them have lost something more than

II BIRMINGHAM is the centre of
- England. 1t is the greatest
munitions making area in the
British Isles. Its slogan is"Busier
Than Usual"
London is the political centre Of the
British Empire; Birmingham is its in
dustrial centre. London is no more
representative of the war spirit of the
Midlands of Great Britain than New
York is reflective of the feelings of
the Middle Western states. After the
dull, depressing atmosphere Of Lon
don, where they make laws, manufact-
ure rumors and hatch political crises,
Birmingham is a refreshing change.
There they talk shells, fuses, tanks
and aeroplanes and war bonuses and
profit sharing and production.
Birmingham is an inspiration, re-
sort for nerves shaken and jaded by
war. 1t is driving on to victory. 1t
leaves politics to politicians, makes
munitions twenty-four hours day and
radiates confidence and determination.
And what is true of Birmingham ap-
plies also to Coventry, its near neigh
tor, where Lady Godiva tried to camou-
aage herself, from the eyes of Old
Peeping Tom.
