II you shut life out, life viii

If You give nothing, you win set

temptible OF Iife's gifts.
You may escape the storms, but
you win never know the glory Of
the sun and stars. nor ride the
great winds nor walk with the

Dare to live.
Dare to let life have its way
with you!
Dare to cry and laugh and trem.

Dare to be hungry and hurt
and Inundated!
Court risk court danger!
Knock down your wall--away

Let the rabbits have their bur-
rows and the mice their holes.

And what win life do to you?
Life win whip you cruelty.
Life win freeze you and blister
you and scar you. It win cast
you into the bIackest depths.
But life will also lift you up to
the shining heights. It win put
strength within your SCARED hide
and breed mysteries In your
bruised brain. And your broken
heart win be so wide that it win
welcome all the world.
That Is what life will do for

face it.
And if you haven't? Then life
will leave you alone. And that

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-Ry Dr. Louis e. Risch-

-by OFs LOUIS Es DlscM-
LIVERY effort should be made
~ to give epileptics--the suffer
ers from chronic convulsions with
unconsciousness--the benefit Of
treatment despite the fact that
epilepsy is q chronic disease and
considered incurable.
just what causes epilepsy no
body knows.
Apparently, however, there are
different causes In different inci-
yiduals, and these may vary 50
markedly that no ''rule OF thumb
method of treatment can be laid
down.
In some cases the glands Of
internal secretion, " o t he r w ise
known as the ..endocrinen or tho
..ductless glands, may be factors.
In other cases it may be the
changes incident TO puberty. In
others, q physical condition may
be important. There are cases
where protein poisoning seemed
to BE present Other cases Of
epilepsy, again, seem to be lfnlaed
with functional nervous disorders
or to have q functional condition
added or auperimpose upon the
original condition, thus making it
markedly worse. Injuries or 3
former meningitis may be respon'
sible.
/ want to caution, however,
against q do-nothing policy In
dealing with the epileptic.
Even il the epileptic is incur
able and often In the early
stages 1t would seem as though
he might be every effort should
be made to improve him as much
as possible. and. particularly. TO
try to ward Off the inevitable
mental effects OF this mysterious
disease.
These mental effects are . kind
Of mental deterioration.
Thinking becomes slow and
sluggish.
The mind ii haEy and ideas are
not clear-cut.
Attention wanderg and the pa.
tient finds 1t difficult to concen-
trate on any task.
The field oS interest Is likewise
narrowed. The epileptic gradu.
ally shuts himself up and away
from the world.
Speech may become monotonolls,
all in one KEY. as it were, without
the usual voice infections
The imagination is markedly
dulled Hence. there is lack of in.
itiatfye and little enthusiasm for
anything
All the higher mental faculties
become impaired. Reasoning and
judgment are poor
There is clumsiness Of move
ment and sIowness.
In the emotional field, indiffer-
ence, lessening OF affection, and
often irritability, self pity. marked
sentimentalisnl or possibly dam
gerouE feelings Of hate may be
present.
Lastly, falling memory. This is
invariably present when the epi-
lepsy affects the mind.
Let us not have a feeling OF alb
solute hopelessness regarding the
victims Of this pernicious disease.
Neurological clinics are avail.
able everywhere, as are also skilled
physicians.
Let US help the epileptIc fight
mental deterioration as much as
we can. Let us encourage him as
much as possible.
Bear in mind that no two epilep-
tics are alike. Therefore, give
each one the advantages OF indi-
vidual study.
Many an epileptic, through sell
entific treatment, can be kept toll
erably content outside an institu.
tion. even If he cannot be abso-
lutely freed from his convulsions.
