The Quality Of Lore

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch

CHILDREN are very prone TO
" develop various kinds of mus
clilar twitchings. Adults may
show such symptoms. In every
case fwitchings have to do with
4 disturbance of the nervous
system no matter what muscles
OF the body are affected.
A muscle works, that is, 1t con-
tracts. because nerve energy. like
an electric current. IL sent along
the nerve to the muscle. a.
muscle could not contract without
its nerve supply. No muscle. be
it ever so small, IL without such
nerve supply.
some of the body muscles are
moved voluntarily. by an act OF
the win. Such a one IL the
biceps in the arm. Other muscles
like those in the wallis OF the
stomach are involuntary muscles
and we are unable to exercise
control over them.
In the case Of muscular witch
ings, the voluntary muscles
usually are involved. But the
muscle contracts Without the in
dividual wishing It to contract.
In fact, it contracts in spite OF
all effort on the part OF the In
diyidual to stop 1t contracting.
Muscular twitchings over which
the person has no control are
often spoken OF as tics.
Habit spasms are similar in ma
tire. AT one time. however. they
were purposeful. That is, the
muscles which now contract with
OUT any rhyme or apparent rea-
son once were contracted for
purpose.
For example, a child or an
adult may blink the eyes because
Of eye strain. Or he may sniff
because OF a cold Or he may
contract the cheek muscles be-
cause of a skin irritation. II
such spurposefuI movements are
Kept up long enough habit may
develop and persist even after the
original cause of the muscle con-
traction is removed.
Chorea, also known as st. Nitus
Dance must also be mentioned in
connection with muscular twitch-
ings
Chorea usually affects children
although adult forms are known.
TT IS characterized by marked
unexpected and rapid twitchings
Of certain muscles. Usually ii is
the face muscles, but it may be
arms or less instead or. In severe
cases, face, arm and leg muscles
all together.
Often the patient Is able to con-
troll the twitchings for q short
space Of time, a few seconds per-
haps. Always, however, the lerk-
ing and twitching starts again de-
spite everything.
The vast majority OF all kinds
Of nervous spasms are purely
] functional in origin.
That Is. there is nothing or
ganically wrong with the nerves
i themselves. nor with the muscles
TO which they run, and which
they charge with nerve energy.
Doctors say that no pathology
exists.
The nerves are sick, yes, but
only In the way they function.
The trouble often, therefore,
must be sought up, es It were. in
the mind. in the thought processes
of the sufferer.
And IN addition. OF course. the
nervous system must be built up
and made as strong and FESTIVE
as possible.
Treatment should never be de-
layed ia muscular twitchings
whatever the variety may be.
Even stubborn and long-stand.
ing cases may yield to proper
treatment. but the longer the
spasms have been existent the
more difficult is the problem Of
cure

''temperamental' wife out OF the

He would have helped her pack

He would have carried her
Pekingese down to the car, and

He would have fastened the I'D

the lady in lower seven. :
He might have telegraphed
ahead to order the florist to have
her favorite flowers in her room
when she arrived, or telephoned
long.distance to engage her 4
suit with Southern exposure and

THAT'S the American man for
you!
Whatever he does. he does II
thoroughly, whether it's closing a
business deal or matrimonial
deal. He doesn't ALLOW his emo
tions and inhibitions TO Interfere
with his common sense or spoil
mis- good nature.
His love-making may be lack.
ing in thrills and dramatic ferv.Ir
but his divorce-manners are
positively flawless!
And, after all. the Ultimate
proof OF q gentleman is his ability
to divorce his wife as gracsfully
and tenderly as he courted her.
Many a woman never sees her
husband at his best, until they
have promised to part forever.
Perhaps that Ii why so many
American women rush back from
Paris or Reno to re-marry their
divorced husbands!
