this is rare. People had Appendix
citis thousands of years before it
was recognized that the particular
set of symptoms involved was due
to Inflammation of the vermiform
appendix.
So when I say that hyperin-
sulinism is a new disease entity,
l simply mean that we have lately
learned to recognize the connection
between a certain set Of symp-
toms, Of which many people have
complained in the past, and their
cause.
Functions of Islets of Langerhans
A few years ago we found that
the familiar old disease, diabetes,
was due to a degeneration of GER
tain cells in the pancreas, called
the 1slets of Langerhans, which
produce insulin. Insulin is the
substance in the body which pro-
vides the spark to burn the starch
es and sugar and furnish US with
energy. Since the diabetic is lack
ing in this substance, it is possible
to make him comfortable by sup
plying it artiicially by the hypo-
dermic injection Of pure insulin.
AS with all the other ductless
glands in the body, it is theoreti-
cally possible that the cells which
produce insulin can either degen-
crate so less insulin is formed, as
is the case in diabetes, or they can
increase in size and amount and
produce sudden flooding of the
body with insulin. We now have
definite proof that this actually
occurs. The condition is known as
hyperinsulinism.
The diagnosis can now be made
by the experienced physician over
the telephone. Somebody calls
the doctor up and tells him that
he has had a sudden attack of
tremendous hunger and muscle
trembling, with free p~erspiraticN.
Treatment is to eat some CANDY
or a cracker-anything sweet or
starchy.
dyperlnSullnlSm
A typical Isl is that of a wom-
an 20 years old whose first attack
of this kind occurred at the age
of 26. She first noticed the onset
of dizzy spells at II o'clock in the
morning, during which she felt
faint and weak. She was almost
continuously hungry. About q

cult such a task is, and how little
people know about their heredi-
tary diseases, We sent out hun
dreds of letters 20 close relatives.
We interviewed an old grand
mother, eighty-nine years old,
who would answer questions for
q while, and then turn stubborn.
People r inclined to believe
that a knowledge of their heredi-
tary diseases has no practical
value. Some ancestor bequeaths
them this condition, and there is
nothing to do about it. Recently,
however, | "a made acquainted
with a peculiar case in which the
knowledge of an hereditary condi-
ton may have meant the differ
ence between imprisonment and
even possibly death as a military
punishment.
Thomsen's Disease
The condition in question is
known as Thomsen's Disease. The
man who first described it was
himself a victim of the condition.
1t is a peculiar change in the mus
cles and consists in difficulty in
initiating or stopping voluntary
motion. You start to shake hands
with the patient with this condi-
ton and he cannot raise his hand
quickly enough to meet you; but
when he finally clasps the hand,
he continues to hold it indefinitely
both to his and to your embarrass-
ment.
The individual about whom l
heard was drafted in the army and
perhaps on account of the nervous
excitement, the condition began to
affect him badly while drilling.

he would come on rapidly, catch

the order came to halt, he would

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. N.:-"What is the opinion of
the medical profession of bottled
mineral waters?"
Answer: There are many kinds
of bottled mineral waters. The
ones which contain cathartic salts
act as a cathartic, taken daily un-
der any conditions. The bottled
mineral waters are often blended
more skillfully than usual and are
more beneficial for mild forms of
constipation, gall bladder disease
and Indigestion, taken a glass full
before breakfast in the morning.
The alkaline bottled waters are
beneficial for arthritis and acid
indigestion.

She perspired freely and she
said her mind became paralyzed
and she went into a kind of coma
which lasted for seven hours. The
attacks usually came on before
meal time. On examining her
blood it was found that she had q
sugar level of 35 when it should
normally be 80. She could alHaJs

sciousness by drinking cccoa or

in a certain part Of the pancreas
there was a glandular growth
which involved the Islets of Lam

complete recovery. Her attacks

has risen to 80.
1t is interesting to note that
while she was having the attacks,
she gained forty pounds in weight
due to the fact that she ate in
order to prevent the attacks. She
found out herself, without any,

proper treatment.

SAID you recently saw an elderly
patient with appendicitis with a
large abscess, who had no pain.
Will you please explain how you
knew the nan had appendicitis if
he had no pain?"
Answer-He had fever, high

ated on and an appendicial abscess
and diseased appendix were dis
closed.
N. Kill would like to know
what sciatica is and what the
treatment for it is"
Answer: Sciatica is a neuralgia
of the sciatic nerve. 1t may be due
to %arthritis, dislocation of the
sacro-iliac joint, or to focal infec-
ton somewhere, such as in the
teeth or tonsils. Often no cause
for it can be found. The best treat
ment is by manipulation, massage
and removal of the focal infection.

When Wars Were Won With
the Bow and Arrow

-IE view of some military

U is smashing toward a show

other instance of the modern
world Tipping back the pages of
history.
Skill and physique often have
carried he day against odds, but
most of the great ovcrturns of
history have come through new
and superior weapons. In the
prospective new battle-ground of
today's war it was, ironically
enotgh. an exceptional type of
bow, drawn by men of surprising
strength that made them the
conquerors of old East Asia, CEN
turtles ago Because of it's SUI

peoples of long ago.
This bit of military lore was
recalled recently when DIR. Will

This is one of the very few bows
of ancient type that has been
preserved anywhere and il at
tracted much interest and consid-
cradle chagrin.
The chagrin was shown by
modern husky gentlemen who

able to even bend this bow to a

it was bow of the same type
that laid low British pride in the
supposed supremacy Of their long
bow which was six feet long as
against about four for the Turk
ish arm. II had won many a
decisive battle for England.
Accordingly. when the Turkish
Ambassador TO London in 1895
politely expressed the opinion
that the little Turkish bow would
outshoot the English long bow
he was met with lavish offers of
wagers. The extreme range of
the English bow seems to have
been around 500 to $50 yards.
