Fully so per cent OF the American

From a study Of statistics cover
ing nearly half century. DR..
Faunce finds that many boys who
sense that they fail to graduate.
Moreover" he explains. these
figures do not include the uncount-
ed thousands who, though they
have been graduated. have simply
wasted four precious years, and re-
ceived no benefit commensurate
with the time and money spent.
There is no other career, for which
men are so definitely prepared. in
which there is such an appalling
proportion OF failures
The question every parent should

NEURALGIA SHOULD
HAVE TREATMENT
Govt. Doctor Tells Of Various
Methods

Washington, April 20 (CP)-Neu-

= physician should be consulted, adj
vises DR.. Hugh S. Cumming. surgeon
general Of the United States public
health service.
The word neuralgia means nerve
pain" Dr.. Cumming said. I'm every
day life. however. neuralgia has
come to be generally used to indi-
cate pain affecting particular nerve
OF It's branches from any cause.
There are few ailments which
give rise to greater suffering. You
should know that neuralgia indi-
Gates a depressed or enfeebled state
Of health. For example those who
suffer from rheumatism frequently
have neuralgia.
In weakened conditions Of the
system from improper or insufficient
food or as result Of any drain upon
the body or in anemia from any
cause and in such a disease as ma
laria, neuralgia is frequently pres
emit"
DR.. Cummings said other causes Of
neuralgia included strain upon the
nervous system such as anxiety or
mental overwork. exposure to damp
ness and cold, decayed teeth. diseas-
ed bones. local Inflammation IN
which nerves are involved. pressure
upon the nerve trunk, and swelling
OF the nerve sheath in its passage
through the bony canal or upon the
surface.
"sciatica Is one OF the more COM
mon forms OF neuralgia, affecting
the great sciatic nerve which
emerges from the pelvis and runs
down the leg to the foot" he con-
tinued.
Treatment OF all forms Of neu-
ralgia Is important to ascertain as
early as possible whether any con-
stitutional condition is associated
with the malady.
Although when an attack Is
periodic large dose OF quinine two
or three hours prior to the seizure
will often lessen and may even pre-
vent the pain. this should not be re-
sorted to except on the advice OF
physician.
"Liniments containing opium,
belladonna. or aconite rubbed into
affected parts will often ease the
more severe local pain but these
things do not get at the source Of
the trouble.
Employment OF electricity In
long continued forms OF neuralgia
has proved serviceable In some
cases.
The safest and the best way TO
avoid suffering and future trouble
from the malady, however, is to
visit physician at the first tTinge
