Doctors Still Seeking
Causes of Lame Back
BY DR. FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

9@9 ~ @gB~@
The lame back you may get at times isn't something
you should pass off merely as somewhat Of a nuisance.
AL sorts of causes will explain this trouble. and yet
there are many cases which just can't be explained
by any OF the modern points Of view.
Your doctor may take X-ray pictures and make all
the usual examinations known, testing your ability to
move your back into various positions. and still he may
be unable to determine exactly why your back hurts
you.
a certain ligament connecting the large bone Of the
pelvis with the bone Of the leg is very tight in some
people.
Some Of these people complain Of a swapping SEN
sation OF the hip when they move the thigh and leg.
This swapping sensation, they claim. is due to the
pulling Of this tight ligament over the head OF the bone
Because this ligament is tight, the sufferers COM
plain OF pain in the back and they describe it as a SEN
sation Of strain in the lower part Of the back. Occa-
sionaIly they have s~ciatica or severe pain in the rear
Of the thigh along with the back pain.
The Boston doctors have worked out some tests TO
show whether the pain in any certain cases Is due to
a tight ligament Of this character. OF course, the
condition is treated by doing everything possible to
release the tension on the ligament, stretching 1t grad
ually by use Of certain exercises.
The simplest exercise is one in which you stand with
the side that is affected about 81 feet away from a
table or some other convenient object which you
grasp with one hand. Then bend the hip that is af-
fected toward the table as far as you can. Hold this
position for a few seconds and then. after a rest, re-
peat the exercise.
Do this five times the first day, ana increase once
each day until the exercise is done Is times twice a day.
Some cases are so severe that they are not hene-
fitted by this exercise. and in those cases. in which
there is pain in the sciatic nerve along with the pain
in the back. operative procedures may be necessary.
- 49, -. - A.
Of pain in the back is due to this cause. Sometimes
pain in the back is caused by flat feet: sometimes by
bad posture: sometimes by conditions Of the organs
within the abdomen.
1t Is important to know the cause. If that can be de-
termined, and to treat the condition accordingly.

WICHTMAN CUP
RIVALS TO MEET
AGAIN in MASS.
Helen Jacobs and Kay
Stammers May Meet
on Saturday

Chestnut Hill. Mass. Aug. a.
(UP)-The Wightman cup battle
between the United states and
England will be played all over
again here tomorrow when four
women's teams meet for the right
to fight II out In the final of the
saith annual national tennis dou-
bles championship.
The women semi-finalists are ex-
actly the same four outfits which
played the doubles in the recent
Anglo strife at Forest
Hills. In the upper half are Helen
Jacobs Of California and Mrs.
Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, defending
titlists, and Nancy Lyle and Evelen
Dearman. In the lower half are
Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles
and Mrs. Dorothy Andrus Of SIAM
ford. Conn.,, and Kay Stammers mad
Freda James, Wimbledon cham
pions.
In the Wightman cup matches
the pairings were reversed, and the
teams fought to a draw, with Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan winning,
and Miss Babcock and Mrs, And
rus losing. Rated off their play so
far, the teams captained by Miss
Jacobs and Miss Stammers should
meet on Saturday In the ANAL.
Neither has lost set. Their oppo-
nents, however, have had O rugged
time of It. Miss Babcock and Mrs.
Andrus were battled to standstill
by the weak teams Of Mrs. Phyllis
Mudford King and Mrs. Penelope
Anderson Mcbride yesterday be-
fore winning in three sets, and the
Misses Lyle and Dearman were any
thing but impressive In licking
Gracyn Wheeler and Katherine
Winthrop, a pair Of youngsters.
Miss Babcock Is badly Off her
game. Her overhead game, once
so sharp and decisive, Is wobbiy
as can be, and Mrs. Andrus Is much
too slow for first-class doubles.
The Misses Lyle and Dearman, both
big, slow girls, are remarkably
steady from the deepcourt but
lack the volleying ability SO essen
tial to top-fiight tandem play. Too,
Miss Lyle's service Is so weak II
Is q definite handicap.
The advance of these four teams
to the round Of four was q triumph
for the seeding committee, for they
are the top planted" four.
The two vacant berths in the
