YOUR HEALTH By cd Dr.: R; 5

When any part Of the body fails
20 function there is trouble. If that
failure Is found in one OF the
avenues of waste escape, II proves
serious Immediately.
Intestinal obstruction is an alarm
ing condition. IL is ushered in by
a sudden attack OF severe pain in
the abdomen. There usually Is
history Of constipation or OF failure
OF bowel moveme ut. Nausea, vomit-
ing Of substance having a fecal odor,
and distention OF the abdomen soon
follow. Unless relief Is immediate,
prostration and collapse will come.
There are many causes for intes-
final obstruction. 1t is more likely
to occur in a person who has had
some sort OF abdominal operation.
You will recall that the intestine
is attached to a sheet Of tissue CALI
co the "mesentery" and the intes-
final mass Is covere. by an apron
or tissue called the "omentum."
During an operation involving the
interior of the abdomen, IT Is very
easy to tear or TO cut the mesentery
or omentum. leaving open Sits. A
part OF the intestine may slip
through one Of these openings and
be squeezed by the movement Of the
sheet OF tissue. The pinching may
be so severe as TO cut off the passage
and cause complete obstruction.
After operation, too. there may
be bands OF scar tissue and adhe-
sions surrounding the intestine
which. by their contraction, cut
off the passage.
Tumors may form and by sudden
change of position obstruct the in
testinal passage. Sometimes, for
