Private Perrin of Middle bury Serving With Dis=
 tinguished Battalion

With the Fifth Army, Italy - Pri-
 vate First Class Geno Perrin, son of Ermine Perrin, Middlebury, cooks helper, is member of the 310th Medical Battalion, which resorted to 13-ton prime movers to ferry wounded across flooded mountain streams in Italy as the Fifth Army fought through the Gothic Line.

Four of the lost ambu- lances were hit by shell fragments. Three others were knocked out by strafing, and six were carried away in flash floods One of the jeep cas- ualties was victim of German ar- tillery fire.

WE HAVE all heard of bile,
which is a substance made IN the
liver. When there is an excessive
amount Of bile coloring in the blood
and body tissues, a condition called
jaundice occurs. Whatever the
cause Of jaundice may be, there
fore, it indicates some disturb
ance of the liver. Jaundice may
develop in liver inflammation, in
a condition known as %cirfhosls or
hardening of the liver, and IN gall
stones which block the flow Of the
bile from the liver to the intestine,
According to Doctors FREDERICK
Steigmann and Hans Pepper OF
Chicago, the treatment of jaundlce
Is, for the most part, dietary.
The diet must supply the mate
rials for repairing and restoring
tissues and should not contain any
substances-such as excessive fats
which may be harmful, or which
may put an unnecessary STRAIN on
the liver. Most of the functions OF
the liver are related to getting rid
Of poisonous substances and to
changing the structure of the va
rious substances supplied by foods.
