GallstoueS-

Callstones are concretionS formed,
chiefly in the gall bladder, from the
bile; they are composed either OF
cholesterin "a sslt-like substance in
oile) or Of a compound of lime and one
of the coloring matters of the bile.
When found in the gall bladder they are
sometimes present in immense num-
oers; they vary in size from a grain
Of wheat 10 a small hazeinut, and are
usually more or less cube shaped or
Pyramidal as a result Of mutual pres
sure. IL is estimated that one person
in every ten or twenty has gallstones,
but fortunately the sufferers from gall
stone collie are much fewer.
The stones are formed usually as
the result of Inflammation of the lining
membrane OF the gall bladder or the
bile ducts; sometimes they have as
a nucleus 4 little mass OF cells from
the mucous membrane or a cIump of
bacteria on which layers of cholcsterin,
or bile salts, are deposited. AS a rule,
gallStones cause no symptoms, and
most persons are blissfully I'M
conscious Of having them. II is only
when they are dislodged from their
resting place in the gall bladder and
begin TO move down the bile canal TO
the intestineS that they cause symp-
toms; but then they make up for their
previous silence, for the pain they
i. off
An attack of gladstone collie begins
suddenly and often without any warn
ing as a severe pain in the right side
of the abdomen just under the ribs and
usually shoots up the back 10 the
shoulder, and felt only as a dull ache
or soreness in the back Just below the
right shoulder blade; but often it is
eNcruciatingly sharp. There is usually
some fever, though occasionally the
temperature is below normal, and the
patient has a succession of slight
chiIls. The skin is covered with
perSpiration, vomiting is frequent, and
if the distress continues for some time
without relief the sufferer may fall in
10 state OF collapse, and aundice
frequently appears during or after a
prolonged attack
The symptom that calls most urgent
ly for relief is the pain. For this, heat
applied TO the seat of pain or in the
form of hot bath is often effective
When this fails the physicians must
give anodyne drugs carefully, but in
doses large enough to dull the pain.
There may be only one attack. or re-
peated attacks may occur at longer OF
shorter intervals. In the latter cas-
the wise course is to submit to
operation to remove all the stones in
the gall bladder and so put an end to
the painful attacks and avoid more Sc
rious consequences that might follow
the impacton of very large stone in
one of the bile passages.
