Heat As Treatment
In treatment of any form of
fbrositis, heat takes an important
place. 1t is especially valuable be-
cause it can be given at home, by
the household doctor. 1t may be
moist or dry heat-mustard pouI-
tice, hot moist congresses, electric
pad, hot bricks, hot iron, applied
over a folded towel or flannel.
The best and most effective treat
ment is by massage. The fibrous
nodules can be broken up and mas
heavy stroking and kneading mas
sage, which is applied directly to
the nodules. It produces subsequent
relief, although it may be painful
at the time. The patient should
know the nature of the condition
and be aware that the treatment
will at first cause more pain, but
that subsequent treatments will be
less painful and eventually result
in the disappearance of the nodules.
Questions And Answers:
Mrs. J. E. NJ: Il have a five
year-old boy who has been troubled
with asthma for the past three
years. Do you think he can be
cured?'
AnsWer-Asthma in children is
almost always of a simple sort, IN
complicated by infection and due to
sensitiveness to food or dust or ami
NAL dandruff. Perhaps a pet, such
as a cat or a dog or a parrot, causes
it; or rabbits. Perhaps some food
or combination of foods is the cause.
The proper ours to pursue is to
have an examination made by a
man who practices allergy and who
will be able to study his sensitive
ness to various foods, dusts, etc.
Children usually grow out of child
hood asthma at about the age of
nine or 10 years, but this time can
be shortened by proper treatment.
Asthma in older people is usually
complicated by infection and much
harder to eradicate.

Medical Care
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

We, in America, have been pam
pered pets Of Nature for a number
of years. We have had about Is
years of unusually mild and tenn
perate winters all over the country.
But this spring, with a severe win
ter behind us, we LAY begin to see
examples of the English disease,
fbrositis, or painful nodules.
1t has not been reported very
often in American literature, and 1
think there is no doubt that it has
some relation to cold climates and
severe weather. 1t is by no means
unknown in the northern states
and in Canada.
The painful nodules occur any
where under the skin; they may be
in the muscles. Favorite places are
along the neck, in the edge Of the
big triangular muscle that goes
from the back of the head to the
point of the shoulder; in front in
the breast and abdominal muscles.
The nodules are painful and cause
muscle spasm. They are often
found in the course Of massage.
Trapezius Myositis
That triangular muscle which
forms a sheet along the back of the
neck from the promonitory of the
hind part of the skull to the corner
of the shoulder, the %trapezius mus
Gle, is the seat of an affection that
is called trapezius myositis. (Myo-
sits means muscle inflammation.)
1t is a hangover in spring from a
long siege of catarrh or infection of
the nose and throat. There is pain
noticed on turning the head or ex-
tending the neck. With fatigue of
the muscles of the neck, there is apt
to be headache in the back of the
head. Tenderness can be elected
at the point of insertion of the
muscle at the shoulder and back
of the head.
Treatment consists, first, of free
drainage of the nasal sinuses.
Another special form of fibrositis
is p~anniculitis, which consists of
painful spot in the fat of the alb
domen, upper arm, upper leg, knees
and calves. The typical sufferer is
a middle-aged woman of pasty ap-
pearance. The skin is thickened
and bound down so that it cannot
be picked up as usual. Besides heat
and massage, small amounts of

anti-chain store bill got under way
as scheduled before a sub-commit-
tee Of the house ways and means
committee, but the chances are that
the measure won't get to a vote at
this session.
Hearings will go on almost indefi-
nitely. After Congressman Patman
has presented his case, the opposi'
ton has it's say; and the saying is
going to be long and exhaustive. So
far, the subcommittee has been mott
fled of 20 witnesses who propose to
appear against the bill, and there
will be more.
Chain stores r up in arms
against the measure, which would
lay a steeply graduated tax on all
units in a chain-so steep a tax
that the stores say it would theo-
retically exceed the annual net prof
it's Of the 20 largest chains in the
country.
LONG FIGHT FOR
PATMAN
Patman has been plugging for the
measure for years. The administra-
ton has been cool to the idea, and
for a long time Patman couldn't
get a hearing IN it. At the last ses-
sion, when it looked as if a general
tax revision measure would be up
this year, house leaders promised
him one-figuring that a couple of
days or SO could be sandwiched
into the general tax hearings, the
Patman bill being technically a tax
measure.
When this session opened the
general tax idea was dropped, how.
ever, and Patman was left with his
promise. He went to bat with l.,
md finally won a full.dress affair
before a special subcommittee. It'll
be loves labor lost, however, If the
bill doesn't come to a vote this
spring: this is the last session Of
the 18th congress, and he'll have to
introduce the bill all over aga n
next winter.

Importance Of all this goes way
beyond the case of Dolsen as an

a test case, believing that the Dies

witnesses questions it had no legal
right to ask; believing also that the
supreme court would effectively

matter got before it. Plan is to take
the case there, with high-powered
