Your Health
BY DR.. NORRIS FIsHBEIN.

DROBABLY you've come across a person who sud-
Il denly found he couldn't swallow his food. It's a
distressing experience.
The trouble may be more serious than merely
that of hurting.
Difficulty with swallowing may happen to persons
OF any age and may vary from inability to take in
liquids.
Furthermore, it may be due to a number Of
CAUSES. Sometimes it is simply that the throat has
been scratched by a fish bone or a small meat bone,
so that swallowing is difficult until healing occurs.
Sometimes a small portion of a bone will become
lodged in the wall of the throat or of the esophagus,
the tube that leads from The throat to the stomach.
1t may be difficult to detect the presence of such a
splinter of bone even with the X-ray.
A clever British doctor worked out a way Of
"A finding out about such particles Of bone. He
had the patient swallow small pieces of cotton
soaked in barium emulsion. The little fbers of cot
ton get caught on the edges of the splinter of bone,
and then, when the X-ray picture is taken, the
trouble can be located.
Ingenious instruments have been developed which
permit the doctor to fish such %splinterS out of the
place in which they may be lodged.
There are other cases in which troubles with
swallowing occur because Of disturbances Of the nerv-.
Gus system. For Nuisance, in lockjaw it is not pos
sible to open the mouth because the infection in the
nervous system holds the jaws together. The mouth
may be so dry from lack of saliva, that swallowing is
difficult because the food is not moistened.
T&HERE may be paralysis of the palate such as
Il occurs in diphtheria, or there may be a cleft
~palate-failure of the bones Of the head to grow to-
gether properly at birth. There may be severe swell
ing of the tonsiIs. which will cause swallowing to
become difficult, and occasionally in older persons
tumors develop which obstruct the swallowing pas
sages.
Sometimes little pouches are formed off the
esophagus. When food is taken, it gets into these
pouches with pressure, and there is pain and result
ing difficulty in eating.
Obviously, it is necessary to investigate every
- - 44I-1 ao~o AF h Crd+I that 1E f0InH
realizing at the same time that difficulty in swallow
ing is just a symptom rather than a disease itself.

Came From Astronomical Family

DR. STURVE is the descendant of a long line of
~ astronomers. He is a member of the fourth
generation of astronomers and the fifth member of
the family to be made the director of an observa-
tory.
His great-grandfather, the first astronomer Of
the line, was Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Sturve who,
along with Herschel and Bessel, laid the foundations
OF modern astronomy. Arrested during the Ma
poleonic wars by French soldiers who were making
forcible recruits for the Army, he escaped and fed
to Russia where he was commissioned by the
car to build the famous Dorpat Observatory.
The present DR.. Sturve fled from Russia during
the revolution after the World War. DR.. Robert
Frost, whom DR.. Sturve succeeded as director of the
Yerkes Observatory, located him in Constantinople
where he was working as a carpenter and brought
him to this country.

ord as Floor Leader during the
