on the front porch.
Briefly, the facts are these:
Personnel shortages are 50
acute in army hospitals in this
country that there is only one
nurse for every % patients.
AT Percy Jones Hospital, Bat
tie Creek, Mich, where some of
the wars greatest heroes lie in
urgent need of nursing care and
all the comforts that can be al
forded them, one nurse has 10
care for 100 patients on the night
shift!
In France and overseas gen.
orally the scarcity of nurses
runs far beyond the above
figures. The few brave women
who have accompanied the
troops are in many cases
working 24-hOur shifts, eX-
hausted and rapidly becoming
fatigue cases themselves.
Such alarming news would be
a grave indictment of American
Womanhood had they been fully
informed of the circumstances
and declined to volunteer to
nurse their wounded. But
they were not made aware Of
the superlative need until now.
In fact, the War ManpoWer
Commission for reasons Off
cially unexplained but now re-
gretted) lowered the ceiling on
army nurses in November from
$4,000 to 10000.
This would naturally give
the impression that the need
was lessening or the cur
rent nursing force sufficient.
When on the contrary
the need is increasing daily
and the supply is pathetically
low.
Now it has been told and
there is no need to dwell on the
plight of soldiers wounded in
action paying the penalty for
this nursing shortage by sweat
ing out the long days and nights
in hospital beds without some
reasonable response to their
pleas for water, medicine and
the nursing attentions they
deserve.

400 OF a 1000 complained most Of

sl.t in? Where is it located? How
can you describe it?
1t occurs as = perfectly normal

long period Of concentrated
work. That Is physiological ia
tlgue. 1t occurs as a symptom of
many, II not most, organic dis
eases, as a constant accOmpani-
nlent, not the result Of eXertion.
And, as we all know, in the form
OF that tired feeling it is the

Requires Different Treatments
1t must be obvious if the prin-
ciples laid down above are true
that there is no n treatment Of
neuritis. People get impatient
with me when they write and ask
hatly-'How shall | treat my ncu-
ritis ?'-and l answer-"It de-
ponds on the cause" But surely
it is sensible to say that you can't
treat a neurItlS due to diabetes
the same way you treat a neurltls
due to too much alcohol.
In the case OF diabctic neuritis
YOU study and adjust the patients
ability to utilize sugar and
starchcs, and in the case of alco-
holic neuritis you firmly and gen.
tly separate the patient from the
bottle. II alcoholic neuritis has
supervened this is a much easier
task than if the imbiber has
stopped or eascd off just short Of
complete paralysis.
If the cause is removed or treat
ed most cases of neuritis get well
if you give them enough time.
There are some general methods
of treatment which may be ap-
piled no matter what the cause.
In motor types Of neuritls mas
sage and electric treatments are
advisable in order to keep the
muscles from degenerating. In the
neuralgias heat and cold in vary
ing alternating degrees are COM
forting. And also the host of
anti-neuralcic medicines. In u
day aspirin has taken the field by
storm. but there are others-ace-
tanilid and phenacetin.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
V. F.:-Can anything be done
for a diabetic neuritls case? The
patient is sugar-free.
Answer: Nitamin B (thiamine
chloride) should be tried. The
cases are often very stubborn.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

f. G.:-What are the reasons
for the feeling of falling? Can
the eyes cause it? Can the thyroid
gland cause it?
Answer: The feeling of falling
is a form of vertigo. 1t is usually
due to disturbance Of the inner
ear ANY instruction of impulses
in certain nerve centerS can cause
it, and these may be due to the
eyes or to circulatory disturb
anceS which in turn may come
from the thyroid gland.
