trouble. Experienced physicians
have too often seen someone oper-
ated on for appendicitis when in
truth the trouble was pneumonia
away up in the chest
But even the most intelligent pa
tents give up the idea only under
duress. In fact we have a paint
ing made by Albrecht Durer, who
must be considered intelligent,
which he sent TO his doctor show
ing himself pointing to the exact
spot where he had the pain.
Weakness q Symptom
Weakness, which is next to pain
the commonest symptom of the
human race. is usually localized
by the patient in the nervous sys-
tenn. But this is q very incomplete
concept Of so complex q symptom.
There is q growing tendency
among medical scientists to regard
the body as q unit, as a whole
rather than a collection of parts.
We used to think Of heart dis
ease as a disease of the heart, and
kidney disease as a disease Of the
kidney, and goitre as a disease of
the thyroid gland. But more and
more we have come to see that in
most diseases the whole body is
sick, and it must be regarded and
treated as a whole. Thus the re-
action Of the body which typifies
this best is that general bodily
feeling Of weakness.
Whole Organism Affected
1t is, for instance, a typical
symptom of heart disease. 1t orig
mates in this case in the muscles
because they do not get enough
blood-because the circulation is
deficient. We learn then that heart
disease is Of no consequence so
long as tits local (such as a valvu-
lar defect only, that it only be-
comes Of moment when the heart
muscle is diseased and all the
blood vessels are also affected.
Then the circulation is deficient in
the muscles and oxygen exchange
in the lungs is lowered and the
entire organism is out of kilter.
In my youth we used to hear Of
Bright's disease, and everybody
knew it was due to disease in the
kidneys and in the kidneys alone.
But the present conception of kid
ney disease, Of nephritis, i, that
the kidneys are diseased only as
part Of general process-the
eyes are usually quite as much
involved as the kidneys, every
group of little capillary blood YES
sells being involved just as much
rs the capillaries in the kidney.
Even cancer. which is so often
regarded as purely local disease,
may really originate from a gen.
eral bodily arrangement which
manifests itself only at the site
where the cancer begins TO grow.
In fact, certain cancers of the
bone have proved to be due to dis
turbances of one group of the duct
less glands, the parathyroids.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

In my ear and it runs over once

/ have tried sweet oil and other
remedies. 1t gives me a great deal
Of bother. What should do?"
Answer-Wax in the ear may
be very simple problem, but it
also may be very complicated and
dangerous. In the early stages,
your treatment is quite logical, but
when the wax gets hard, it may
become almost like stone and the
use of sweet oil will not move it.
/ really think you need a doctor
who can take an ear speculum and
look in and detach the hard wax.

others il is due solely to nervous

doctor usually takes this fact into
consideration, and doesn't use that

There also are various types OF
suffering, and some people develop
a social complex which fastens upon

Dodccagon Means Twelve

tional Geographic society, unless one

two islands in the original group
have been dropped and three others
have been added.
The Dodecanese are sometimes
called the Southern Sporades. They
lie just off the southwestern shores
of Asia Minor and from Is to $50
miles northeast OF the island OF
Crete, and were extremely important
in the days when much of Grecian
culture was centered in that region.
The largest and most important of
the Is islands is Rhodes (RodD. ia

homes still stand in an excellent
state of preservation along the long,

Situated in region in which his
tory has been in the making for

table that the Dodecanese should be
subject today to number of con-

her title best because the islands

ton and are inhabited by people Of
Grecian blood who speak the Greek
tongue. Italy claims the territory
by virtue of its conquest by the Ro-
man empire and its later domination
by two Italian city states, Venice
and Genoa. The Turks rest their
rights on the conquest of the islands
in 1923 and the fact that they were
under Turkish control, with few
minor breaks, from that time until
1912 when Italy seized the.l by naval
action.
