Better Health r Has.
BY DIR. Logan CIendening

DACKACHE is one of the most
- frequent symptoms which
the patient brings 10 the doctors
consulting room.
Many doctors dread attempt
ing TO treat a patient with back
ache because they all know that
il will involve finding the cause.
The comUonest cause OF back
ache is an acute or chronic
strain Of the low back--a sprain
or tear Of the ligaments-or
bad posture which results in
strain on the sacro-il lilac and YER
tebral column.
TN GENERAL, the causes of
l. backache may be called pos
tural, inflammatory, reflex and
psychological.
or course, organic disease Of
the bones Of the spine or pelvis
will cause backache but these
are in the minority.
We are speaking OF the
chronic. long-continued backache
due 70 functional causes.
Many people get into a habit
Of bad posture, sometimes from
their position at work, some
times by just allowing their
muscles 70 Sag and sometimes
from wearing badly adapted

tons:

cupation recently"

as the pain relieved by lying
down."
Have you recently worn new
shoes"
when was your last vaca-
tion?"
A number OF other questions
concerning the functions OF the
digestive organs and the pelvic
organs also should be asked.
Backache from inflammatory
causes means a form OF arthritis
or rheumatism of the spine.
Many backaches are psyche
logical in persons who are bear
ing, or think they are bearing,
too heavy burden,
The back is the psychologist
burden bearer and often this re-
lationship gets out Of whack.

ing, rapidly improving after
arising. indicates chronic arth-
ritis of the spine.
The joints get stiffened up
during the night and timber up
under the activities of the day.
Pain disappearing during the
night and increasing during the
day indicates postural back
ache due TO poor body balance.

Public Relations
Boon to Services

pensed by the service press
agents is worth while,
It keeps the public advised on
the activities and movements, up
10 a certain point. of the units
and gives a good picture of the
service generally.
COME might argue that the
~ service doesn't need adver-
tising-but il does.
1t needs advertising more than
any other public institution, be-
cause it is the one thing in which
the whole public is now deeply
interested.
II would certainly be a grave
mistake TO keep the activities
of the service, other than stra-
tegic, a mystery to the public.
which likes TO read about what
the boys are doing in the camps
and elsewhere.
The advertising is a morale
builder not only among the men
in the service but also among
the civilian population.
Indeed, place the public re-
lations departments. including
the service newspapers, high up
in Importance in the organiza-
ton of our armed forces.
1t was a wise man, or men.
who encouraged the spread of
these departments and the en-
ployment in them of men trained
in the art of press-agentry.

by almost every unit.

high-falutin name that desig-
mates the press-agent squads,
the same as in civil life.
The service has drawn of the

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

c. r. S.-What is the cause OF
harelp? Is il hereditary?
Would appreciate any other
comments.
Answer-Harelip is a failure
of fusion of the structures OF
the face in the midline.
II often is accompanied by
cleft palate. which is failure
OF fusion Of the two sides OF
the roof Of the mouth.
In early development Of the
body. long before birth, the face
is formed by the two sides NOV
ing forward and fusing.
You see evidence of the fusion
OF the lip in ordinary cleft or
depression in the midline of the
upper lip.
A dimple in the chin is an
other sign of the site OF the
union.
Harelip is not hereditary.
Harelip alone which is not
accompanied by cleft palate can
be remedied very easily by a
surgical operation.
In the hands OF an up-to-date
surgeon the operation leaves no
evidences whatever Of the orig
inal deformity.
T. NJ: When temperature is
taken under arm and IL is on the
chart like this: SO ak, what does
that mean
Answer: AK" means by axilla,
which means under the arnpit.
The temperature under the arm
pit is usually about ! to II de-
grees lower than by mouth.

Thus we may see that the
treatment of backache will de-
pend upon what rf1e eXamina-
tion and the history of the
patient reveal.
There is no one treatment
any more than there is one
treatment for fever.
DUT with the advantage Of
- having exercises and corsets
to improve posture. heat. dia-
thermy and massage TO relieve
arthritis, manipulations OF many
kinds TO relieve strain and dis
location. the physician is in a
very good position at present TO
institute helpful treatment for
the chronic sufferer from back
ache.
Specialists are liable TO find
the cause for backache in their
own speciality.
Thus the gynecologist often
ascribes the cause of backache
10 pelvic disorders, the urologist
10 kidney trouble, the ortho-
pedic surgeon to bony displace-
ments.
The best doctor to determine
the cause of backache is the
man who has no hobbies-the
general practitioner.
