Federal funds would be dis
tributed 10 the states in the ratio

states would be based on the
amount OF real estate taxes levied
"a formula which would give
Michigan and especially Detroit a
stable measure of relief.

BETTER HEALTH
? By Dr.. Herman Bundesen

A PPENDICITIS is such
"a common disease that most
people seem 10 have an idea
that they know at of ti1C Syrr1p-
-tap1S- a1.d- that almost anyone
should be able 10 diagnose u,
but this is by no means the
case. The symptoms OF appen-
-eiietti--ln- Eafetfs- instances may
be far different from what one
would ordinarily expect. and il
Is not unusual for the condi-
tion 10 fail 10 be recognized by
any one except the doctor. How
ever, any variety of severe or
even mild pain In the abdomen
should call 10 mind the pos
sib.!lty Of appendicitis.
Pain is usually the first Synp-
tom OF appendicitis. II begins
rs colIcky. cramp-Ake pain
m the plt OF the stomach or
around the naval. but within
short time IL shifts 10 the right
lower part Of the abdomen and
becomes A sort Of aching sensa-
ton Together with the PAIN
a. the beginning Of the dis
order there may be a feeling Of
fulneSS or pressure in the large
bowel and the patient often has
the ldra that moving the bowels
VIII relieve the pain II IS per-
hapS for this reason that many
persons thus affected make the
mistake Of taking laxative
drug but doing this is ex-
trcmcly dangerous, since a
movement OF the bowel pro-
duccd by the irritation Of the
laxative may lead 10 rupturing
or breaking Of the appendix. 1t
IS pointed out by physicians
Athat IN about one-fourth OF the
patients, this type OF pain IN
'the lower part of the abdomen
may not be present.
Often, the pam may be IN the
middle OF the abdomen or on
the left side. In other instances.
n may be IN the upper right
part OF the abdomen The loca-
tIon Of the pain depends upon
where the appendix is situated
Sickness Of the stomach and
vomiting usually follow the
pain. often they are absent al
together.
Constipation and diarrhea are
practically unimportant in di-
agnosinE appendicitis. Too often
the patient has taken a laxative,
which accounts for diarrhea.
