Of the territory and then went to

These forces now are harassing the
invaders with repeated night raids un-
der the shadow Of the Great Wall.

day, when the troops Of Wan Fu-Lin,
former governor Of Heilungkiang Prov

New Tactics Planned.
Japanese press dispatches admitted
that the situation at Hsifengkow was
being watched with great concern, as
each successive attack by Sungs swords

A Rengo (Japanese) report from
Hsifengkow said: The japanese mill

This, taken in conjunction with
similar official and semi Official decla-

flammation may be dry, or
that it may give rise to what
is known as an effusion of
fluid into the pleural sac.
In ordinary cases of dry
pleuriSy, besides the pain in
breathing, there may be a
cough without expectoration of
mucus; fever may or may not
be present. In the effuSion
cases the disease may develop
suddenly and with a chill; later
there is fever and pain in the
chest. Both of these may de-
velop slowly and with little
shortneSs of breath.
The pain in pleurisy is usually
its most distressing manifesto
ton. It is felt near the breast
or armpit, either on the right
or on the left side. It is sud-
den, and so sharp that it seems
to cut like a knife. It may
be so severe that the patient is
actually afraid to breathe.
Coughing makes the pain
worse.
In severe cases of pleurisy-a
variety of the effusion kind,
one might say-pus forms in
the pleural cavity. Then it is
called empyema. Empyema is
often an aftermath of pneu-
monia, and it may also be
caused by a wound sustained
in fracturing a rib.
Sometimes empyema develops
quickly and sometimes it's prog
resS lis slow and insidious.
Sooner or later, however, the
pleural sac fills with pus and
the patient gets very sick.
Indeed, empyema is dangerous
so far as life is concerned. In
all severe cases, therefore, it is
desirable to remove a piece of
rib so that proper drainage of
pus from the pleural cavity
may be established.
Chronic pleurisy also exists,
and this again may be of the
dry form or Of the effusion var
iety. Chronic dry pleurisy may
follow an acute case in which
there has been an effusion.
No matter what kind Of pleu.
rtsy the patient may be suffer-
ing from, home remedies should
never be tried.
First Of all a diagnosis Of the
exact nature of the condition is
necessary, and to delay in OBJ
tanning such an expert opinion
is courting trouble. Secondly,
the duration Of the disease is
shortened if proper treatment
is begun promptly.
PleuriSy may recur again
and again. Often, too, adhe-
sions, or a sticking together OF
the pleural surfaces, takes
place. It is therefore the part
Of wisdom for every person who
has had an attack of pleurisy
to have himself examined every
so often by the family physi-
clan.
Children may develop pleu-
riSy as well as old people. In
