AVOIDING INTESTINAL ILLS
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

Hernia, commonly called "rup-
ture," is produced by a break in
the abdominal wall. Through this
hole the intestine pouches. Then,
if the opening closes, a knuckle of
intestine may be squeezed, produc-
ing obstruction.
In chronic constipation the bowel
may become so loaded and heavy
that it breaks away from its sup
port. 1t becomes twisted or kinked,
cutting off the passage d waste
material.
As the days pass there is a grad
ual accumulation of material above
the obstruction. This becomes
well defined tumor.
Obstruction of the bowel Is one
of the difficulties which proper liv-
ing particularly proper eating, will
cause you to escape. The ulcera-
ton or other diseases Of the in
testines which may be the begin
ming of a gradual closing of the
bowel will be avoided.
If it does occur and is recogniz-
ed do not give salts or other
cathartics. They will add TO the
misery. High enemas, carefully in
jccting quantities of soap and water
or glycerine and water, may dis
solve the impaction and afford re-
lief.
Food should not be taken. To re-
lieve the pain, thirst and hunger,
holding ice in the mouth is often
very comforting.
The doctor must be called at
once. He may call a surgeon. 1t
is too important a trouble to
neglect.

Fortunately it is not common,
but one of the really serious things
that can happen to a man is OBJ
struction of the bowel. All at once
there is a seizure with violent
colicky pain. 1t seems bad enough
to begin with, but the pain grows
worse and worse.
Pretty soon there is vomiting.
At first this consists Of the food
recently swallowed. Then the yell
low colored bile, bitter as can be,
sets the teeth on edge. As the
vomiting continues fecal matter is
expelled.
If the obstruction is complete
there is no passage from the bowel
after the portion Of the intestine be-
low the trouble is emptied. There
must be relief within four or five
days or a fatal result is to be ex-
pected.
OF course there are many causes
for obstruction. In some instances
swallowing some hard substance
may result in a mechanical closure
Of the passage.
The intestinal canal may be load
ed with hard seeds, corn or other
substance which may make it i'm
possible for the intestinal walls to
move the mass along its way. In
tcstinal worms or voided gall-stones
may clog up the bowel.
In young children it sometimes
happens that the intestine lacks
muscular power or proper function
from some cause. 1t becomes in
vaginated, as the finger of a glove
may when it is pulled off without
the usual care. In consequence,
the Unfolding of the intestinal It's
sue closes the passage and the
symptoms of obstruction appear.

Our Several Worlds
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

ious to help us so long as we show
that we help ourselves.
The world is full of people who
are willing to lend us money If they
think we don't need it. They can
not do such a thing, however, if
we are really in need. That would
be encouraging poverty.
The world is full of causes for
wars and quarrels and contentious
of all kinds for those who have
the disposition to look for such
things.
The world has plenty Of air for
everybody to breathe, water for
everybody to drink and food for
everybody to eat. The only place
where there is famine is where
there is imperfect distribution. y
The world is full of little chill
dren looking for companionship and
guidance.
The world is full of evidences of
good and prospects of betterment
for all those who have something to
do and are doing it. 1t is a pretty
bad place for idlers.
The world is full of love for
those who are loving.
Altogether the world is so full
of a number of things that we
ought, I am sure, be happy as
kings.

As matter of fact there is or less fiction in
all histories those that constitute record of events

the public should have a look. l
believe there have been other SINH

no professional person is really well
come at a large observatory. That
this should be so is not surprising,
for astronomers, too, are busy men,
e and the telescopes and other instru-
ments Of the observatory are their
working tools.
But setting aside certain dates
and hours for the use of great tele-
scopes by the public would not be
satisfactory solution of the problem

You have done me a favor. Some
weeks ago you advised your readers
to look at the stars and planets
through a street astronomers tele-
scope. 1 have since looked at the
moon through a street astronomers
telescope, and was very much sur
prised and pleased with the result.
l saw the craters, mountains and
valleys, and the ragged edge of the
moon somewhat as it is presented
in scientific pictures.
Now l want TO see more, through
a more powerful telescope, but / do
not know how / am TO go about it.
Is there any possibility that the lay
man would be permitted to look
through the new telescope at Mount
Wilson. even for S2j or $50! /

OVER LIES HURDLES
Don't Whip Up a Tired Horse.
BY LOUIS E. BISCH
Copyright. 1926. Premier synd.. Inc.

When you are tired and dis
traught, when you have been work
ing steadily for months without
rest or recreation, you are apt to
develop what people call brain
fog
Brain fog is a kind Of nervous
ness.
1t means that the nerve cells
are depleted. They require re-
newed charges of enegry. They are
used up to greater or lesser de-
gree.
Better terms for brain fog or
nerve tire are Neurasthenia and,
Psychasthenia.
Both mean about the same thing,
except that in the former the ex-
haustion Of body nerves is stressed
while in the latter it's more par
ticularly the brain that is thought
Of.
But strange as it may seem, the
real fundamental reason why our
nerves get run down is not that
we work too inuch-rather it is
because we do not know how TO
work.
Overwork is really misdirected
energy, energy wrongly applied,
wasted energy!
The nervousness that results
from il means simply that the
mind has developed nervous symp-
toms to protect itself.
Nervousness is a warning that
you should be careful and work
more intelligentlg!

ducing any rich man to immortalize
his name and do an immense and
lasting service to his kind by estab-
fishing an observatory with a pow
erful Telescope for the use, not of
astronomers. but Of the people. A
cynic would probably say that this
justifies his opinion that we are not
living in an age Of the highest in
telligence. Mechanically We have
done wonderfully we'll; but our
philosophy Of life is low.
However. there is some improve
ment. Lately at the Yale Obscrya-

own eyes the great sights Of the
