That Bod V
Of Yours
Dangers Of Underv eight
BY
JAMES W. BARTON. M. D.

VXyHlLE most individuals whose
w weight is not within normal lin
Its, are carrying too much weight,
with the ailments which SO often &C
company 1t, nevertheless there are a
number of underweights who hive con-
siderable physical distress and do not
realize that underweight Is the cause
of this distress.
When a meal Is eaten the under
weight individual Immediately becomes
conscious of this meal; 1t feels heavy.
Any change of position of the body
Increases this sense of weight and
In some cases actually causes pain.
Usually the stomach hangs down too
low, as there is no fat to help support
1t, thus 1t cannot empty Its contents
into the small intestine SO readily
With some of the food remaining in
the stomach when the next meal Is
eaten. indigestion with gas pressure
pains may follow.
Naturally with the weight Of meals
causing discomfort, and the slowness
of tie emptying of the stomach caus-
ing further discomfort and pain, the
Individual is inclined to eat even less
food than he needs and continues to
lose weight.
A few years ago operations were
performed to hold up the stomach or
other organs that were hanging too
low in the abdomen. Operations are
not as frequent now as more scientific
methods are being used to fatten up
these very thin individuals.
They are encouraged to eat the more
concentrated foods such as butter,
cream, fat meat, eggs, and to sit down
meal.
Comfortable abdominal belts are
worn which permit natural breathing.
yet hold up the abdomen and its con
tents. This removes the "draggy"
feeling, and so helps the stomach and
intestine that when they squeeze or
contract their contents, these contents
are carried along their course with
out having any high hills to climb.
In order that all the food will be
out of the stomach before the next
meal is eaten, these thin individuals
whenever possible, lie on the right side
for fifteen minutes just before lunch
and before dinner. By lying on the
right side, any food in the stomach
will flow down into the small intes
tine, leaving the stomach clear and
ready for the next meal
There are severe cases where the
stomach or other organs may have
to be fastened up by operation.

The Research Worker

1T is certainly gratifying to the med
1 ical profession and to all others who
give the matter thought, to see CRATE
full patients recognize the difficulties of
research workers and endeavor to give
them some financial aid.
Thus, in England, group of asthma
sufferers have completed an organiza-
ton to aid research physicians who
are doing work on the cause and relief
of asthma.
FL. g. Wells, the author. has invited
his fellow sufferers with diabetes to
follow the example of the asthma sui
fers, and help all workers and institu
tions spending their time on diabetes
He points out that, thanks to a reg
ulated diet and to insulin, they are liv-
ing active, happy lives, while few
years ago many would have been un
comfortable and dying slowly or al
ready dead but for the work of
small group of experimenters and
practitioners who have brought this
particular maladjustment or disease
under control" Mr.. Wells says that
diabetes, now financially able to do
so, should not only help these research
workers but help also those diabetes
who are not well enough off to get the
diet and insulin treatment. In other
words diabetes In good or fair circum-
stances should tax themselves for the
benefit of all diabetes.
When we remember the years de-
voted to the dietetic control of dia-
betes by Joslin of Boston and others,
then the work done by Banting and
Best, discoveries of insulin, In Toron-
to, under the most trying circum-
stances, with the final refining process
of insulin developed by Collip. we can
get some idea of the patience and per-
severance of practitioners and re-
search men.
AS you know. If these men were paid
for the lives saved, II would run into
many millions of dollars. aside from
the happiness achieved and suffering
relieved.
All that research men ask, In fact,
they do not ask for anything; all they
would like Is that they be supplied
with a place and equipment with
which to work, and enough to live on.
and they are willing to give them
selves to the relief OF the ills of hn-
manity. In fact. many of them are
doing this without proper equipment,
and without resources to actually sup
port themselves.
You'll agree that Mr.. Wells has done
a good piece of work in calling the
attention of his fellow sufferers to
the need of helping the cause of all
diabetes.

HUEY P. LONG. the vituperative

soundly spanked by the senate Thurs
day. Their patience exhausted, Demo-
cratic leaders united in administering
a sound rebuke for his conduct on the
floor. The proceedings were without
recent precedence in the senate. Fol-
lowing the blistering remarks hurled at
the Kingfish, the senate clamped upon
him temporarily parliamentary muz-
zle that reduced him to silence.
Senatorial veterans could not re-
member similar occasion when SEN
ator has been subjected to the humili-
alton Of such public chorus of dis
approval from his colleagues. The
Louisianian's behavior in the senate
has disgraced him in the eyes Of the
nation, Senator Pat Harrison (Dem.,
Missy, told Huey.
The Kingfsh screamed his protests.
He shouted that Senator Harrison was
the kind of man who would stick a
knife in friends back and drink his
blood" This brand Of abuse brought

exhibitions, shouting to the galleries.
