FARM FRONT

teen applications for farm building
permits and electrical connections
for farm plants, twenty-three appli-
cations for farm priorities for crit1-
cal materials, thirty-two applica-
lions for slaughter permits; thirty
four carloads of seed potatoes, nine
ty-fve carloads of feed wheat and
ninety-three carloads of soybean
meal distributed among farmers and
feed mixers in several counties; 1874
applications for draft deferment OF
farmers processed; draft deferment
information furnished 800 farmers;
processed 10 applications or Regional
Agriculture Credit Corporation loans
totalling $S,725; eleven wheat loans
redeemed; authorized five CONVEX
sions of farm tractors from steel to
rubber wheels; obtained emergency
gasoline for SO farmers; acted upon
331 applications from haulers for
certificates of war necessity and up
on 2S2 appeals from the boards de-
cisions in those applications; con-
sidered los requests for gasoline
for non-highway uses and twenty
applications for new motor trucks
for farm operation, and certified 5
Gamers.
This same staff also handled 566
telephone calls and 1880 Office call
ers on War Board and AAA matters
during this period, and performed
the following duties for the 212S
farmers in Baltimore Cousty who are
cooperating with the AAAsoil con-
servation and war-food production
program:
Directed 2179 farm visits by COM
munity committeeman in connection
with the war food production pro-
gram and 1850 farm visits by COM
munity committeeman resulting in

servation materials, prepared and

Importance of History

These things are all very fine,
but they do not take the place of
the history and the physical ex-
animation. According to the best
authorities the history of the pa
TENTS illness, as told by the pa
tient, is of 80 per cent Importance
in the final diagnosis, the physical
examination, % per cent, and all
the mechanical, microscopical and
instrumental methods are worth
about % per cent in the final sum-
mary of the average diagnosis.
Let me illustrate by taking a
common condition, jaundice or
yellow jaundice. The patient can
see this and to that extent it is
symptom, so the patient tells you
when it started and other things
about il. You can see it and to that
extent it is a sign, and part of the
physical examination. Your seeing
the fact that the patient is jaun-
diced confirms the patients state
ment.
Now you begin to analyze it and
YOU find that the patient says it
came on without pain. In making
a physical examination of the alb
domen over the gallbladder. you
find that there is no tenderness and
you cannot feel any lump which
would indicate the gallbladder or
an enlargement of the liver. The
patient says that attacks Of jaun-
dice have occurred a number Of
times in the last few years

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

A. c. Care exercises of the
muscles Of the eye, as recon-
mended by some people, good for
astigmatism?
Answer: No. The only muscles
Of the eye that you can exercise
are not attached to any portion of
the eye which controls accomoda-
ton. You might as we'll open and
shut the hood Of your radiator 20
times a day in order to get your
engine to quit missing.

Blood Examinations

You can make some blood ex-
aminations. which would give a
mechanical Interpretation Of the
jaundice. The icteric index would
tell you fundamentally just how
deep it is, and what is called the
Nandenbergh test would tell an
other fact and an X-ray Of the gall
bladder would show whether the
jaundice could be due to gall
stones.
But as a matter of fact, you do
not need this mechanical help be-
cause you can analyze the sltua-
ton from your physical examina-
ton.
The fact that there is no pain
and no tenderness and no palpable
gallbladder indicates that there
are no gallstones or gallbladder
disease. The fact that you can
not feel the liver rules out cirrho-
sis. The fact that the patient is
subject to recurrent attacks would
indicate that the jaundice was due
TO blood destruction rather than to
stoppage Of the bile.
