INrLAMED NERVES

The term "Neuritis" means an IN.
flammation OF a nerve. The degree Of
pain felt varies with the amount OF
inflammation. The nerve trunk may
be extremely tender SO that the pa.
tient cannot bear pressure on II.
Some patients describe the pain as
boring, darling. burning and shoot
ing. Since many nerves contain
mixed fibres. of which the motor
fibres move the muscles, the sersory
fibres bring sensation, while others
control nutrition and blood supply.
one can readily e that when 9 nerve
is affected any ~ or all OF these
functions may be described. For in
stance, some Of the motor symptoms
are loss Of muscular power, and II the
legs are involved the patient may find
it difficult to walk and the knee jerk
reflex disappears, and the usual fara-
dic or electrical reflex Of the mAscle
is altered. The sensory symptoms are
numbness and tingling and with a
sense of ants crawling owe the skin.
which may be followed with severe
pain to last through the whole course
of the disease.
The pain Is continuous and Is made
more severe upon the slightest move
ment. The skin may become extreme
~ sensitive to the touch and become
so tender that even the weight Of
blankets may seem too heavy. When
nutritional nerves are involved the
skin may wrinkle. become thin. and
be very shiny. Swelling under the
skin may also ccur.
It should be remembered that the
usual cause of neuritis is q toxic or
poisonous substance which has been
circulating in the blood but becomes
accumulated around the nerve, irri-
tating it and causing 1t to become in
famed. The treatment should aim
at removing this toxic cause and
treatment should be taken as easily
as possible to prevent nerve degener-
alton from prolonged Inflammation.
The use Of alcohol to excess, or the
absorption of arsenic or lead, makes
a decided predisposition to neuritis.
Trembling is characteristic OF alco-
holic, ~arsenical and lead poisoning in
cases of neuritis accompanied by the
tingling and numbness.
It sometimes happens that the
cause of neuritis will be found to be
purely mechanical displacement OF
the bones. usually In the spine. In
these cases the symptoms often dis
appear after a few treatments from q
skilled chirOpractor, OSteOpath OF
~naturopath.

Advertising

Here is a word for the folks who think that tho adj
vertisements in the newspapers arc a nuisance. Adver-
Using makes people want to live in better homes. wear
better clothes and eat more wholesome food.
Newspapers carry the bulk of tho advertising of this
country. Last year $500 5000 was invested III news
paper advertising. That Is ono OF the proofs that reo-
pie appreciate advertisements in the newspapers. Ad-
v~ertisements are appreciated both by those who pay
for them and by those who read them.
The whole business runs in an interesting circle. The
newspaper that has the largest home circulation gets
read newspapers objected to the advertisements, the
circulation OF the newspapers would decrease. The fact
that year by year advertising increases in the most APP
preciated newspapers indicates conclusivcly the interes;
Of the public.
Advertising has taught thrift, educated the public III
the value Of literature and art, and removed drudgery
from housework.
Advertising Is an essential in this modern age. But
there are one or two forms Of it that give us a severe
pain In the neck.
Chief among these is the arplanc- loudspcaker.
"A big tri-motored plane spent the day recently circl-
ing over Philadelphia. while q raucous voice came down
from the clouds extoling the virtues Of some new motor
oil. The voice could not be escaped. It was all-powerful
The people below had to listen to it whether they liked
to or not.
II that particular form of advertising spreads, it Will
be necessary to pass new laws in self defense. To inflic,
q loud. unacceptable voice on q whole city Is indefens;ble
1t is to be hoped that advertisers generally will have the
good sense to realize it.

Who Was Getting It?

Federal authorities investigating the gigantic liquor
ring which was recently broken up BY . raid on It's
fortified headquarters in New Jersey say that the organ
i;ation,s account books show that $4,000 q week was
paid to bribe reimbursement officials.
That sum Is 50 large that it almost passes belief. And
we submit that nothing the Investigators do can Be half
as Important as finding out Just what officials were col.
lecting that money.

Mexico's Excuse for Robbery

The new penal code Of Mexico recognizes the perfectly
obvious fact that a human being may commit . major
crime and yet not be a real enemy OF society. ~
provides that a person may not be punished Tor ROBBERY
il proof is possible that the crime was committed when
the violator was hungry and that he had never before
committed a robbery.
One never hears of such nice distinctions in this cotn-
try except in melodrama, or when a jurist with original
ideas like Ben Lindsay essays the role of Solomon III
conducting a trial wherein the circumstances arc such
as to arouse sympathy.
In the case Of Mexico the new principle Of law rather
fits in with our ideas Of what is comic. Especially u ono
knows and understands Mcxicans. II such feats Of mind
be possible. Mexicans have loose ideas as to the IN
volatility Of property rights.
So here is a law seemingly more likely to promote
thievery than to give the benefit Of sympathy where
sympathy is properly due. Think how such a law would
promote crime in this country. especially in the big cities.
There arc too many hungry people in the slums OF those
towns.
Yet. when you stop to think about it, 1t isn't quito
rs ~laughablc as it sounds.
II may be clumsy and impractical; yet. for all that. II
represents a genuine attempt to put a little common
sense and humanity into the criminal code-and tho
criminal code north Of the Rio Grandc isn't exactly
begged down with either Of those qualities.
Many a robbery is onmitted by an ordinarily law
abiding and upright man who is driven by poverty and
misery to a point where it seems better to commit rob-
berry than to starve to death and see his family starvc to
death.
In such a case-wherc it is quite clear that the man
Is not a criminal by nature-isn't it better to turn him
loose and give him another chance than to do as We
usually do in the United States-stick him in prison and
turn him into a confirmed criminal?
Mtxico's new law undoubtedly will help some real
scamps to escape punishment for their misdeeds. But
will that be any worse than some OF the savage In
justices that our own laws occasionally cause?
Our whole tendency lately has been to make our
criminal code stricter. AS a result We see men getting
ten-ycar terms for stealing a couple Of dollars. We zee
a hopeless fury settling down on our convict class. re-
sulting in outbreaks like those at Danncmora. Auburn
and Canon City.
This Mexican. law is probably quite as impractical rs
our lofty critics have been saying. But 1t contains All
idea that VIC might very well think about copying.
