Your Health
Nerve Disorders
May Cause Pain,
Partial Paralysis
By HERMAN BUNDEsEN. NJ. D

BY HERMAN DUNDEsEN. NJ. 1
NEURITIS means inhamma-
ton Of a nerve. Neuralgia means
pain in a nerve. Probably the most
severe type of nerve pain is called
tic douloureux which occurs in the
nerve Of the face.
Another type Of nerve disorder,
not associated with pain, is known
as Bells palsy. II is a condition in
which there is Inflammation Of the
facial nerve. This disorder appears
suddenly, often after exposure to
cold. In some instances, the patient
may not be aware of the disorder
until somebody tells him, or he
looks in a mirror, when he dis
covers that his face is drawn 70
one side.
Muscle Paralysis
The condition causes paralysis
Of certain of the muscles in the
face. This type Of paralysis usual
ly gets well in from three to ten
weeks, but occasionally requires a
longer period Of time. 1t will be
found that the patient cannot
raise the eyebrow on the affected
side or close his eyelid and he is
unable to draw back the corners
OF his mouth. In some cases, there
may also be loss OF the sense Of
taste on one side Of the tongue.
In treating Bells palsy, massage
and electrical treatments are often
helpful in clearing up the condi-
ton. II must be remembered that
there are a number of conditions
which may produce paralysis Of
the face, such as tumors of the
brain or hemmorrhage into the
brain, but Bells palsy is by far
the most frequent cause.
Causes of Neuritis
Neuritis may be caused by con-
ditions such as diphtheria, lead
poisoning or excessive use Of al
coholic beverages. 1t may also oc-
cur in such conditions as govt and
diabetes. An important cause of
neuritis is lack of certain vita
Minis, particularly vitamin B-l or
thiamin.
In neuritis, occurring in persons
who use alcoholic beverages to ex-
cess, the inflammation Of the
nerves is also probably due in part
to vitamin deficiency, particular
ly lack Of vitamin b.. The ad-
ministration of vitamin B-l in
large doses helps overcome the
condition.
Neuritis has many causes and
may produce a variety Of symp-
toms. 1t requires careful study to
determine the source Of the con-
dition before the most effective
treatment can be employed.

CHAPTER TEN

THOMAS ROYDE found Mary
Adm waiting for him on the plat
form at Saltington when he got
out Of the train.
He had only a dim recollection
OF her ard now that he saw her
again, he was rather surprisedly
aware Of pleasure at her brisk
capable way Of dealing with
things.
She called him by his Christian
name.
How nice 10 Sc. you, Thomas.
After all these years"
Mice Of you to put me up. Hope
1t isn't a bother"
Not at all. On the contrary.
You'll be particularly welcome. Is
that your porter? Tell him TO
bring the things out this way. I've
got the car right at the end"
The bags we're slowed in the
Ford. Mary took the wheel and
Royde got in beside her. They
drove off and Thomas noticed that
she was a good driver, deft and
careful in trafic and with a nice
judgment OF distance and spaces.
Saltington was seven miles from
Saltcreek. Once they were out Of
the small market town and on the
open road, Mary Adm reopened
the subject OF his visit.
Really, Thomas. your visit Just
now is going to be godsend,
Things are rather dificult-and a
stranger--or rather an outsider Is
Just what Is needed"
What's the trouble!"
His manner, as always, was In
curious - almost lazy. He asked
the question, II seemed. more from
politeness than because he had any
desire for the information. It was
a manner particularly soothing to
Mary Adm. She wanted badly TO
talk to someone-but she much
preferred TO talk 70 someone who
was not too much interested.
She said:
"Well-we've got rather a dim
cult situation. Audrey is here, as
you probably know"
She paused questioningly and
Thomas RoyGe nodded.
And Neville and his wife too"
Thomas Royde's eyebrows went
UP. He said after a minute or two:
Bit awkward-what? >"
"Yes. it is. II was all Nevile's
idea"
She paused. Royde did not speak,
but as though aware OF some cur
rent Of disbelief issuing from him,
che repeated asseruvely.

"Kay7 Good looking. OF course.

And Nevile's keen on herr"
"Oh, yes. OF course they've only
been married year and a half"
Thomas Royde turned his head
slowly TO look at her. His mouth
smiled a little. Mary said hastily;
II didn't mean that exactly"
Come now, Mary. / think you

Well, one can't help seeing that

Thomas nodded.
Mary went on:
Il don't think he wanted to
break up his marriage-I'm sure
he didn't. But the girl was abso-
lutely determined. She wouldn't

She paused, looking rather
ashamed. Thomas Royde merely
said: "Um-hum," In a speculative
voice.

Royde looked thoughtfully at
her, but his poker face showed
no recognizable reaction. He said,
after a minute or two:

Really, you know, I haven't the
least idea! That's what's so odd.
