Your Health
Appendicitis Not
Always Easy TO
Diagnose

BY HERMAN n BUSDEsEN. NJ d
APPENDICITIS is such a COM
mon disease that most people seem
70 have an idea that they know all
Of the symptoms, and that almost
anyone should be able to diagnose
IL. but this is by no means the case.
The symptoms Of appendicitis IN
many instances may be far differ
ent from what one would ordi-
rar.iy expect, and II is not unusual
for the condition TO fail 70 be rec
ognized by anyone except the doc
tor However, any variety Of Sc
we're or even mild pain in the alb
domen should call TO mind the pos
sibility OF appendicitis.
Pain Is usually the first symp-
tom Of appendicitis. II begins as a
colicky, cramp-Iike pain in the pit
Of the stomach or around the naval
but within a short time Il shifts
70 the right lower part OF the alb
domen and becomes sort Of ach-
ing sensation. Together with the
pain at the beginning OF the dis
order, there may be feeling Of
fulness or pressure in the large
bowel and the patient often has
the idea that moving the bowels
will relieve the pain. It is perhaps
for this reason that many persons
thus affected make the mistake Of
taking a laxative drug, but doing
this is extremely dangerous, since
a movement Of the bowel produced
BY the irritation Of the laxative
may lead TO rupturing or breaking
Of the appendix. It is pointed out
by physicians that in about one
fourth Of the patients, this type Of
pain in the lower part Of the abdo-
men may not be present.
Often. the pain may be in the
middle Of the abdomen or on the
left side. In other instances. il
may be in the upper right part Of
the abdomen. The location Of the
pain depends upon where the APP
pendix is situated. Sickness Of the
stomach and vomiting usually fol-
low the pain. In certain instances,
these symptoms may appear be-
fore there is any pain; often they
are absent altogether.
Constipation and diarrhea are
practically unimportAnt in dag
nosing appendicitis. Too often
the patient has taken a laxative,
which accounts for diarrhea. Con-
stipation is no more common in
appendicitis than in many other
disorders. The one symptoms Of
greatest Importance is tenderness
over the appendix. However, the
degree Of tenderness will depend
on how deeply the appendix is To-
Gated within the abdomen, as well
as upon the severity Of the inham-
nation. Rightly or stiffness Of the
muscles may be marked in some
cases and mild in others. The
amount Of rightly will also de-
pend on the location Of the appen-
dix. Fever and an increase in the
number Of white cells in the blood
are other symptoms which vary in
their extent.
Once a diagnosis Of acute appen-
dicitis is made, an operation is
usually carried out as soon as pos
sible. Acute appendicitis is an
emergency disease. II requires
prompt diagnosis and immediate
treatment

production-which return of
plentiful feed supplies would have
made possible. The agency kept
in force the reduced price guaran-
tees for hogs which it established
earlier when feed became scarce
and livestock liquidation became
necessary.
Grain Stands Unused.
Had food officials planned last
September with the idea that the
European war could continue well
into 1945, they undoubtedly would
have raised the hog price guarantee.
This would have encouraged higher
production late in 1914 and through
1945.
AS it is, millions of bushels of
grain now stand unused because
there are no animals to feed. When
it became apparent that there was
to be no early end to the European
fighting, it was too late to do any,
thing which would have brought
more pork to market before the
winter of i945-46.
Only beef production is likely to
be greater this year than last. But
greatly reduced supplies of pork,
lamb, mutton and poultry make
beef all the harder to get.
Claim Production Hindered.
Cattlemen contend that beef pro-
duction could be even larger than
now indicated, but that price con-
troll and other regulations hinder
production. They say that the
spread between prices which feed
lot" operators must pay for unfat-
tened cattle obtained from Western
ranges and the prices which they
get from packers for fattened cat
tie has been too narrow. They say
this discourages the feeding of cat
tie to heavy weights and quality
grades
Many cattle go to market thin
and underweight. This deprives the
Nation of 300 to 900 pounds of extra
beef per head
Official concern over possible sur
pluses is reflected in poultry and
egg production, too. Last fall, when
end of the European conflict ap-
peared to some to be near at hand,
VIA called on farmers to reduce
egg-laying flocks and to plan fewer
chickens for meat in 1945.
Unhappy Egg Experience.
VIA was Influenced also by url-
happy experiences it had with an
egg surplus In the spring of 1914.
More eggs were produced then than
the market could absorb or storage
houses hold. Producer prices drop
ped sharply. This forced the Gov
ernment to step in and buy eggs In
order to carry out price guarantee
and prevent great waste. Even so,
some of the eggs rotted.
Civilians could get all the meat
they wanted then and consequently
tended to eat fewer eggs. Now the
situation has reversed. There is a
shortage of meats and civilians are
demanding more eggs as a substi-
tute for meats.
Yet this years output of both
eggs and poultry meat will be small
er than in 1914. VIA efforts to re-
vive production came little late.
Some. VITA officials expect Sc
we're egg shortage next fall and win
ter. This expectation is based on
reports of widespread sales of lay
ing hens for meat and on pros
poets that fewer eggs will move
into cold storage this spring.
Butter Shortage Perplexing.
The same policies and feed grain
developments which caused the pork
glut in 1914 have contributed to a
tightening of cooking fats and short
ening.
The butter shortage appears per-
picking when milk production is be-

milk. evaporated milk, dried milk
and cheese.
Food production is being ad-
versely affected by many other fac
tors. The farm labor supply is the
smallest in nearly 40 years. Farm
ers have not been able to get any
where near the farm machinery
needed Fertilizers have not been
plentiful. Shortage of rail and truck
transportation has often interfered
with movement of feed to livestock
producers.
