ESNTHAT would you do II you

question that ID both asked and
answered by DIR. Reginald F'itz
in the New England Journal Of
Medicine 'peptic ulcer being
another name for ulcer OF the

reply, DIR. F'itz brings out q num-
her OF facts that ought to be
appreciated by the general public.
Tne problem OF the best treat

unsettled. Surgeons recommend
operation and physicians sing the
praises of drugs. There is, how
ever, q great deal that the patient
can do for himself and his rela-
tives for him, whatever treatment
his doctor advises.
"A great many cases get along
well on a simple. easily-digested
diet taken at home. with or with
out an alkaline medicine. There
is distinct difference between the
sexes. Women are more easily
cured by simple methods, perhaps
because they are far less rebel.
lious patients and find it easier to
continue on strict regular diet.
The mental factor is very i'm.
portant. One woman was entirely
free from symptoms except when
she quarreled with her husband.
Another woman had prostrating
symptoms whenever she had to
address an audience. Business
worries regularly induce symp.
toms. The effects of fatigue are
very noticeable. A man may get
along comfortably until he begins
to work long hours in a hot room.
The attitude of the patient to
his doctor Is of great Importance.
Ulcer bearers are apt to be great
medical shoppers" They go
around from doctor to doctor and
follow medical quotations with
the same vim that brokers follow
the stock market.
They can scarcely be blamed
for acquiring a peculiar mental
attitude toward their illness. IL
IL VIGOROUSLY chronic and tends
to get better all by itself for
long periods of time. 1t il very
difficult to diagnose In some
cases. If the patient can keep
a balanced mind and feel conf
dence In his doctor and method of
treatment he Immediately be-
comes comfortable and begins to
improve.
Where the factors of work,
fear, anxiety and fatigue are re-
moved, a surprising number of
cases obtain remarkable relief
through very simple therapy.
Temporary good results, even for
several years, can be obtained by
almost any systematic regimen.
Patients must be willing to
have possible sources Of sepsis

clear up. This may mean re-
n1ovaI of bad teeth or of infected
tonsils. They must be willing to
have their whole persons treated
and not only the ulcer. They
must be prepared for long
period of physical and mental
rest and simple diet. with
enough alkali medicine to over.

to lead well.regulated life for
months or even for years.
