Who Pays

Of the total of % billion dollars

SistS of q series of successfully
higher centers until we reach the
part of the brain which has to do
with thought anu which controls
personality. When this part of
person becomes disturbed. it is not
easy to find II single word for the
condition; it may affect some one
way and others another way.
But most convenient term is
NERVES; this applies to people
who are apprchensivc. who are
restless. the people who never can
sit still. those who are always
making purpOsclcss motions, as
well rs those who eXaggerate the
Importance of minor events and
possibly minimize the Importance
of major events. In other words,
those who cannot obtain q fair
perspective in regard to the events
of life and are constantly malad-
justcd for that reason. or course,
it also applies to hystcrical indi-
vidualS.
Another word for the condition
is neurasthcnia, although this is
going out of general use in medi-
cal Technology. 1t used to mean
a tired nervous system, but as a
matter of fnct. most individuals
to whom the term used to be ap-
piled are simply maladjusted.
When symptoms which arise
from these personality disorders
and Embellishments are present,
1t isn't fair to say that they are
mental cases and it gives a wrong
impression. 1t isn't entirely fair
TO say that they are emotional. II
used the word functional" j do
not believe many Of my readers
would understand, 30 I compro-
mise by using the word NERVES"
Two Kinds of Nerves
Now the nerves, structurally
speaking, are the terminal branch
es, cords Of the nervous system,
which go out from the base of the
brain and the spinal column.
There are two kinds Of these
nerves: one is motor--thosc which
control muscles. When such a
nerve, for instance the ulnar
nerve in the arm, Is severed or
injured. there is paralysis Of the
nerve in the hand, which it sup
plies. This is the condition to
which I usually refer as ncuritis.
II is not very good term because
il indicates an inflammation of a
nerve, and actually may be an in
Jury. But ii is so used in medical
nomenclature.

| to the respective ccnters in the
brain. These nerves carry i'm
pulses of touch, temperature, pain
and sense Of position. And the
commoncst disorder of these
nerves is the recording os senses
OF pain without any adequate rea-
son for it.
When you have a boil on the
skin. or an inflammation of any
KIND, or = fracture of bone, the
scnsory nerves carry impulses Of
PAIN. and quite properly: there
IS a reason for it: the impulse is
protective. But in cases where
there is no condition at the nerve
terminus which we can find which
would cause pain, we call it ncu-
ralgia. Any "algia" is pain.
Neuralgia is n term meaning the
pain is due to an irritation OF the
nerve. This is as exact as it can
be made because we do not know
anything about the cause of a neu-
ralgia. such as n facial neuralgia.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
II. B.: - Are men with high
blood pressure accepted in the
army? If a man has served in the
army and acquired high blood
pressure. will he be released?
Answer: Applicants with high
blood pressure are not accepted in
the army. If it can be proved that
the high blood pressure was the
result Of army duty. the soldier
will lie honorably discharged in
the line Of duty.
c. P.:-1s there cure for
goiter other than operation?
Answer: Only small proper
ton Of golfers require operation;
most of them get along very well
on medical treatment.
E. H.:-A little girl I years old
has left eye crossed. 1t has been
noticed by the parents only for
about six months. but others say
they have noticed it before. Some
neighbors say if glasses are put
on her she will have to wear them
all her life: some ncighbors say
the eye can be put in place by rub
bling. Is this true?
Answer: These cases are adj
justed by glasses to the extent
that the person can see all right,
but arc never cured by glasses
alone. Therefore the statement
that if they start wearing glasses
they will have to wear them for
the rest Of their life is true. Rub
bling does no good, in fact, Is
harmful. The only permanent
cure is by a slight operation on
the muscles of the eye, which
should be done by an oculist.
T.. B.:-What is the cause Of
the disease, cnccphalitis? What
arc the symptoms and is there any
cure for IL?
Answer: Enccphalitis is caused
by germ; it affects the cells OF
he brain. The common name for
/ is sleeping sickness, because the
nost prominent symptom in most
asses is q deep sleep amounting TO
'oma. Most Of the patients get
veil.
