munitions requirements are esti-
mated at from Is TO 20 per cent In
the first three months after Ger

that Calder had lost lots of money
for Indian Stones investors. The

TO the garage where her father was
working in his Photographic dark

10 Result After
Injury to Leg
BY II. y. BUNDEsEN. NJ. D.
INFLAMMATION OF a vein is
known as phlebitis. According TO
Doctor Otto Meyer Of New York,
phlebitis may occur after almost
any type Of injury to the leg. When
a person Injuries his leg, the in
fammation Of the tissues which
occurs is helpful in healing the in
jury; at the same time, however,
il may affect nearby veins, produc-
ing phlebitis. The invasion Of
germs into the infismed veins may
result in infection which may per-
sist for a long time after the orig
inal injury has healed. Doctor
Meyer believes such infection is
the explanation for the phlebitis
which so frequently occurs follow
ing broken bones, sprains, and even
minor cuts or bruises on the legs.
II also explains the fact that ath-
letes, who otherwise may be the
most healthy and active members
Of the population, often suffer from
phlebitis.
In preventing or treating phle-
bits which develops following
sprained ankles, Doctor Meyers
uses a special type Of elastic band
age. The patient lies on fiat table
and the leg is covered loosely with
what is known as a soft bandage.
Over this, an elastic bandage is put
on, using strong pressure. Tie
combination Of the two bandages
provides pressure without any
harshness. The bandages do not
become stiff and they move with
the muscles. The underlying band
age contains preparations which
help prevent irritation Of the skin.
The treatment is comfortable and
may be continued over q long
period of time if necessary. The
bandage does not stick to the hair
Of the legs and shaving Of the hair
is not necessary before it is APP
piled. Furthermore, the bandage
may be easily changed.
In treating the leg below the
knee, the bandage is started behind
the toes and is wound up to the
knee, covering the foot, heel and
calf of the leg. II the pressure is
applied evenly, pain is relieved
almost at once. If the pressure is
too great, the pain will be in
creased. In such instances the
bandage should be released. If
not enough pressure is used, the
pain present will not be relieved,
and the bandage should be put
on more tightly. 1t is suggested
that the bandaging be carried out
up to the knee in all sprained
ankle cases, even though there are
no symptoms indicating trouble in
the upper part Of the leg.
Since the swelling Of the tissues
disappears rapidly with this type
of bandaging, it is suggested that
they be changed at least every
other day. The patient should walk
as much as possible Immediately
after the bandages are put on, in
order to get the fullest benefits
from the treatment. II the treat
ment is started early, the swelling
of the tissues may be prevented.
An injured ankle heals promptly
and phlebitis may be kept from de-
veloping.
Tomorrow, DR.. Bundesen will
discuss Angina Pectoris."
