SENATE COMMITTEE on atomic

the discovery OF this terrible sec.

There is 0 room for partisanship
in the effort to peer through the
dense problem. Committee mem
bers are open-minded. But like
the scientists who have testified
there are wide differences of view
among them as TO whether, or how,
atomic power can be controlled.

Your Health
Operations on
Nose Call For
Careful Plans
BY HERMAN BUNDEsEN. NJ. T

OPERATIONS on the nose 10

ter the function Of the nose. that
is, 70 free the air passages. are
called rhinoplasty. A deformity on
the inside Of the nose, such as one
which affects the nasal septum,
which is the wall separating the
two inner sides Of the nose, fire.
quently is associated with external
deformity, such as bending Of the
nose 10 one or the other side, a
hump on the bridge Of the nose,
twisting Of the tip Of the nose, or
widening Of the base.
Hence, in carrying out rhino-
plasty, putting the nasal septum
in proper position is important.
According to Doctor Raymond S.
Rosedale of Canton, Ohio, a rhino-
plasty TO improve the appearance
should be carried out only on men,
tally stable individuals who can
offer a good reason for desiring a
change in the appearance Of the
nose.
Carefully Planned
Rhinoplasty must always be
carefully planned. The length Of
the nose and its relation to con-
tour Of the face are important. II
the upper lip is unduly short, then
the operation should be planned 70
lengthen the lip. Sometimes, it 10
necessary to take tissues from
other parts Of the body and graft
them into the nose to make up for
loss Of tissue from the nose due To
injury or disease.
In carrying out a rhinoplasty, the
function of the nose should always
be remembered, and no operation
should be done which will impair
this function. Most Of the time,
however, the operation improves
the way in which the nose works.
The operations are not done in per-
sons who have not reached their
full growth, except under special
circumstances. Furthermore, rhin-
oplasty should not be carried out
when the person has an active in
fection Of the nose.
Splint Applied
After the operation is done, a
splint is usually applied to the
nose and the patient is put to bed
to rest. As a general rule, accord
ing to Doctor Rosedale, the patient
should be kept in the hospital for
two to three days and after five
days, he can return TO work. The
stitches are taken out after the
fifth day.
Frequently, after operations on
the nose, there is some swelling Of
the face and discoloration Of the
skin around the eyes. This usually
clears up within ten days.
