brown. In his fighting days he
was tall and powerful and he
hefted around 200 pounds though
as a small boy he had been tiny

zen of Harlem living on the in

of his curriculum long before the
sports writer's of the day learned
of the matter and had become
so commonplace with him that
he was slightly surprised when
the boys thought il worth writ

ing business was not TO attract
attention, but simply TO drop
excess weight inside and out.
l seem TO remember that he
drank only a little hot orange
juice now and then as he tasted.
At least, that was the diet that

WHEN I am asked by mail TO

there are so many different
kinds of them that ii is difficult
TO give concrete advice.
Some Of these nodosities are
expressions of general systemic
disease; others are purely local

OF the local ones, perhaps the
commonest is lump that oc-

Skin
Nodes

IN MANY people over the age
l. of 60 there can be seen and
felt little nodes at the joints at
the ends of the fingers.
They are called Heberden's
nodes, although all that Doctor
Heberden said about them 80
years ago was:
what are these little nodes
that appear at the ends OF the
fingers"
Nobody since then has been
able to give r very good answer.
They often are said 10 be as
ISOLATED with chronic arthritis,
but in many cases they occur
without any other joint changes
except a slight stiffness at the
ends of the fingers.
They are painless and need no
treatment.
A CONDITION which may
"A lead TO serious disability
consists of nodes or Jumps that
appear under the skin, usually
on the legs.
The name of this condition is
erythema induratum.
The nodes often extend clear
down TO the muscle and cause
considerable pain. not only when
the subject is walking, but even
at rest.
The condition is very chronic
and the nodes may bre ak
through the skin and. ulcerate.
The underlying condition ap-
pears to be one of poor cir
culation. and treatment by the
use of heat, massage, violet
light therapy and measures TO
restore circulation. such as ex-
ercises of the feet and toes, are
indicated.
QUESTIONS. ANSWERS
NJ S G,-What- can you tell
me about abscess of the lung?
Is it a serious ailment? Is it
durable?
How long does il take TO cure
it? Is there's any relationship
between that and tuberculosis g?
Answer-Abscess of the lung
is certainly serious ailment.
IT can come from tubercu-
losis or follow pneumonia or any
infection of the bronchial tubes
or the lungs.
Many cases get well in the
course of time by the use Of
postural drainage, which is TO
lie three or four times a day
so that the head is lower than
the hips over the edge of the bed
or chair.
Cases which do not respond TO
this treatment may require
drainage by surgery.
About Is per cent of cases
ultimately have a complete re-
covery.
