Bentley Sees
Defense Needs

Roy Bentley, Cranes Nest far
mer, was in Tuesday to give us
his ideas on preparedness. Said
Mr.. Bentley, "What this country
needs now is not fifty thousand
planes but one million of them.
Also give us three million tanks
of the latest design and enough
battle ships that if laid end to
end they would bridge the Allan
tic Ocean. Put every son-of-a-gun
in our army of five million men
a-straddle of a drive shaft. In
short, put 'em all on wheels.
Mr.. Bentley's plan would GER
tainly be effective, but the cost
would be prohibitive we fear.

PseUdo-Appendicitis:
Menace of Mankind

In many cases the pain can be
proved to be in the skin of the abb
dominal wall because pinching the
skin alone produces typical pain.
A famous English surgeon, Ben
jamin Brodie, reported a case of
middle-aged woman who had been
exposed during a considerable peri
cd of time to great mental anxiety.
She complained of a constant severe
pain over the right side of the abb
domen. This persisted for years and
she died of an intercurrent disease.
On examining the body after death,
careful examination of all the It's
sues clear through the abdominal
wall to the back, at the site where
she had complained of pain, was
made. No morbid appearances could
be detected. There was neither in
fammation nor thickening, nor any
morbid change of structure and not
the slightest deviation of any kind
from the normal condition Of the
part.
The important lesson is that un-
less there is definite objective proof
Of appendicitis in the form of fever,
increase of the white cells of the
blood, increase Of the pulse rate
and definite prostration, attacks of
pseudo-appendicitis do not call for
operative interference. In fact, OPP
Grafton IN these cases almost in
variably makes the patient worse.

Pseudo
According to a physician at the
Mayo Clinic, the second commonest
functional trouble of the digestive
apparatus is neutrality-suspicious..
Nervous men and women complain
Of mild pain or soreness in the re-
gion of the appendix. Some feel as
if they should be reaching down to
hold up the abdomen with the hand.
Often the distress comes on at in
tervals, mimicling attacks of acute
appendicitis.
That the pain originates in the
mind is proved by cases on record
in which the appendix has been re-
moved and the pain persisted. In
the operation all the nerve path
ways from the appendix region are
severed, so the pain must be pro-
iected from the brain or the mind.
