CHRONIC APPENDICITIS, Ell?


 From time to time some physician calls attention to the uncertainty of the diagnosis of chronic appen- dicitis."
 Even in cases where an x-ray pie ture indicates things are in bad state in the neighborhood of the appendix the diagnosis must still be only tentative and the treatment expectant unless all hands are eager for operation, in which event the operation should be regarded as purely exploratory. The one thing about the whole business that you may be sure of it that it is going to cost you a pretty good fee, but that is as it should be. People who demand luxuries should never squawk when paying for them.
 Now it appears that Canadian physician, having considerable spare time on his hands, decided to make use of it in a way that is popular among specialists in the United States. He prepared and distributed to 167 persons on whom appendect- omy had been done by some one else and who were later under his care questionnaire. In these cases the original operation, re- moval of the appendix, had been done for what purported to be chronic appendicitis" None of the 167 victims had experienced any relief from their symptoms after the appendectomy. None of them had ever had acute appendicitis, so far as they knew.
 Well, sir, believe 1t or not, this Canadian doctor persuaded no less than 147 of the 167 to have another operation of the kind he thinks chronic appendicitis" requires if operation is done at all, namely, complete removal of all so-called congenital bands and membranes from the cecum or ascending colon or hepatic flexure, or any combina- tion of these found present. And again believe it or not he reports in the Canadian Medical Associa- tion Journal for January, 1888, that of the 147 patients so operated up- on 136 reported complete relief from pain on the right side-92 per cent of cures.
 still say that any one who suf- fers from what some doctor or other has called chronic appendicitis" and who has not had one or more attacks of acute appendicitis, should walk warily when in the vicinity of an operating-room. Especially when the eager surgeon exhibits an x-ray negative and points out the unmis- takable signs of trouble in the ap- pendix. X-ray evidence is significant in 8 case of alleged chronic appen- dicitis" only when it is negative, that is, when the picture shows normal conditions in the appendix region-that's sign you can for get the appendix and look further for an explanation for the symp- toms.
 In many instances masked pep tic ulcer mistaken for chronic ap- pendicitiS." Not a bad idea to have a try at a suitable peptic ulcer diet and alkalis to neutralize excessive acidity in such cases; especially when pain, distress, feeling of "gas" In stomach recurs regularly at Il a. m., D. m. and 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, in a man aged 30 or thereabouts. Suitable peptic ulcer diet instructions mailed on request (not 8 clipping) if you inclose three cept-stamped envelope bearing your address.

GlorWng Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Now is the time to make up your mind that, for once in your life, September is not going to find you scurrying nadly about in search of information on reconditioning treat ments for skin and hair.
 Decide right now that you are going to go through the summer acquiring a lovely coat of golden tan, having fun and getting your self in the pink of physical con- dition, but that you simply are not going to end upon with very dry skin, lines around your eyes, hair bleached and dry from over- doses of sunshine.
 First of all, try to figure out a way to get 8 fair amount of sum- shine each and every day - not just great overdoses of it while on vacation and almost none before and after. At the same time, promise yourself that you simply will not sit bareheaded on beach for hours, ride half day in rumble seat or play more than nine holes of golf. Lay in a supply of lightweight sports hats or head scarfs, then wear them a great deal of the time. A little sunshine is wonderful for the hair, but too much of it dries the ends-may even bleach them.
 Appreciate the importance of us- ing suntan oil and lotion. There are several varieties which prevent sum- burn yet do not interfere with &C., quisition of a smooth coat of golden tan. The oily ones provide an excel lent softening treatment while pre- venting sunburn. Then there are many greaseless types over which makeup can be applied.
 Even after you are tanned and there's no danger of getting burn, do use little cream or a bit of vas- cline on eyelids and around eyes whenever you expect to be in the sun for hours and hours. And do wear colored glasses. If you wear glasses all of the time anyway, you may want to have some with tinted lenses made from your own prescrip- tion. Squinting causes fine lines. And squinting plus even a slightly dry condition of the skin around the eyes, may result in permanent wrinkles.

 Roughage, like old Gaul, is divided into three parts. The three parts of "roughage" are: mental, moral and physical
 Here we will take up roughage as it concerns character. Is rough age," that is, tough breaks" good for character, as rich Uncle Abner reminds his hungry nephew? That is saying too much, am sure, but to . certain extent it is true. It is important that we learn to battle trouble.
 ROughage Needed
 Children need some roughage if they ever are to amount to a row of bent pins. cannot say truthfully that the more the better, for I do no believe that.
 However, there will always be the things you will worry about, mother, such as Jack having to earn his place by fighting one of the boys; or Kay getting showed around in practice to qualify for the girls junior team. Physical rough age won't hurt them if it isn't too serious.
 Maybe father comes home and makes them hustle and help, de- manding that they mend their lazy ways. Perhaps teacher doubles the lesson in arithmetic. There are days when no one seems to love them. All this is just the rain that must fall into every life. It won't hurt, and accustoms children to fair amount of reversal. Moral roughage, 50 to say.
 It stiffens backbones with the cement they need for further bat

F) Answer-Grade A milk is the only grade fit for feeding children. Grade B is suitable for cooking.

 Bronchiectasis
 Much interested in your article telling of the excellent results New York physicians obtained from K ray treatment of bronchiectasis. Could one get such treatment from a local doctor or do only certain specialists give it CMrs. s. D. H.) Answer-Any physician who prac- tices in the field of radiology (x-ray) can give such treatment.

 Don't pretend that children do not enter your scheme of things because the man you're marry ing wonders out loud what par- ents get out of children that equals all they gave up for them.

tile. And life is a battle. The child who understands that the world is not his ready-to-eat oyster, but in- stead an oyster that will resist him often to the last bit of power in its shell, is learning to use little men, tai and emotional muscle. The one who never meet up with any trouble at all, will grow into habit of ex- pectancy that may undo him. He needs to learn the value of oppoSi- tion.
 Builds Stamina
 I do not wish to harden hearts, but merely to encourage stamina. And stamina underlies emotional life and, in turn, emotional content. It says to the child, or man or wom- an, What does little hurt matter? Get your boots on and pull your belt tight" This is character, if I know it.
 Tiny children must not be dis couraged too much, because fear represses towering; but gradually, with the years, they should learn to take average bumps as they come, and learn something from them.
 Literally, 1t won't hurt Jack to have his eye darkened in a fair scrimmage. He will probably give one back. It won't hurt as much as toothache, and is more fun. It won't kill Kay to have her hair pulled in a rough game.
 AS long as a child is not cut too deeply through his vulnerable emo- tions, a little roughage will toughen his moral fibre instead of letting it settle into custard that melts at the slightest beat.
