Chronic Dyspepsia
BY Chic Y Dung
Bv PAUL ROBINSON

1t has been found on the X-ray
that the insertion of an enema tip
will stop the normal regular
rhythmic contractions Of the
stomach and upper intestines.
A well known doctor writes: ut
is often taught that in many cases
haemmorhoids develop as a result
of constipation, and it is a well
known fact that constipation is
commonly associated with them.
Our results would suggest that
after the haemmorhoids are
formed the constant irritation due
to them may establish a vicious
circle"
1t has been many years since
doctors gave up the idea that gall
stones evidenced themselves only
by causing a localized collie. Far
more often they remain relatively
silent as regards such COLES, but
plague the individual with all
sorts of dyspeptic symptoms.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A teacher me to call
your attention to a very conspicu-
Gus grammatical error in one Of
your recent columns. You said
"Apples, lemons, oranges and
grapes are among the most healthy
foods" The word should be health
frl. NOT healthy.
Answer: Webster defines healthy
as-"conducive to health: whole
some" You didn't get far enough
in school.

CHAPTER FIVE

GLIDING smoothly over the
dance floor with Philip, her
thoughts centered upon the past
when she was i'll the arms of Paul
Helen was startled to hear Philips
voice close to her ear.
Il could offer you the usual price
for your thoughts" he said.
1T would do you no good said
Helen, trying to speak lightly.
They're not for sale
Silence and then: You worked

YES" Helen replied. Its the
only Job l ever had until l came
up here

"Oh, yes." Helen said-and sud
denly wondered if she did. ITS eX-
citing working in a big Fifth Ave
Il store. I'm secretary to one of
the buyers, and he often asks my
opinion about styles and %cOlors."
Don't you ever feel an urge to
go back home?'
"Occasionally," Helen said. Then,
as the music came to an end, she
said: Lets go outside and have
a look at the city wrapped in dark
ness"
They went through a full-length
window and out upon the terrace.
They stood n the shadow of a par
apet and looked below, above, and
out into space. 1t was almost like
looking upon a world forever dead,
Helen thOught-upOn a world for
ever lost in gloom. Neither spoke
for some moments. The cacophony
of street noises came family to
their ears, and presently a long fin
ger of light, reaching out from the
Jersey shore, caught and held for
a brief second a plane that scared
high among the stars.
zone would think we'd gone back
to the dark ages" Helen said, when
the darkness was there again. And
after boasting about having
reached the very pinnacle Of civil
ZatiOn.'
Yes" said Philip. Looking out
over the city as it is low gives you
a sort Of fantastic feeling. It's like
an illustration from one of those
weird scientific stories-stories tell
ing Of the world of the future"
And what a dreadful place such
d city would be-" said Helen. The
very thought of it makes mo feel
hollow way down inside, and a little
afraid"
Philip moved closer to her. 1T is
npsetting," he said. 1.-The way
things are noW-civilians living in
air raid shelters, like animals ir
~caves-and soldiers hiding in fox
holes" He forced a smile. The next

YESTERDAY we discussed the
acute and chronic forms Of indi-
gestion caused by actual organic
disease inside the abdomen, such
as appendicitis typifying an acute
form and ulcer of the stomach
IMPLYING a chronic condition.
But we all know that there are
dyspeptics who do not fall into
these categories. In fact the very
word, dyspeptic, suggests some
thing entirely different.
Always Complaining
1t suggests a crabby old guy
who is always complaining about
his inner machinery and yet keeps
going for years and years and
never gets any worse or really
looks very sick except when he
puts on one Of those very pathetic
expressions as he tells you about
his stomach turning over and
over.
Every once in a while this fell
low-or girl, because it is more
likely to be a she than a he
turns up with something real. But
in general the long course of the
trouble, the lack Of evidence of
bad health, indicates that the fun
damental nature is functional and
that means due either to the emo
tons or to reflex disturbance.
Some Emotional Causes
BY emotional causes of digestive
disturbances, we include a good
deal more than what the average
man would call nervousness, and
what the physician would call a
neurosis. They include also early
training, for instance. Many a
dyspeptic mother or father has i'm
planted the idea Of the vast impor-
lance of the digestive functions on
one or two children. Many a ca
thartic taker has fixed for life in
a child the idea Of the enormous
harmfulness Of constipation.
In the field of reflex causes of
dyspepsia two spots in the diges-
tive tract stand out as trigger
points from which refexes along
the entire system are fired off, the
gallbladder and the rectum. Hacm-
orrhoids, or piles, or assures in the
a%no-rectal region may cause little
or no local disturbance yet be re-
sponsiblc for severe and long con-
tinued functional arrangements as
high up as the stomach. This is on
account of the Intensive concen-
tration OF sympathetic nervous
tibers in that region.

Yes, it is brutal-war," said
phihp. This one in particular. But
II our enemies want TO fight rough,
we have to do the same. We can't
be gentle and civilized in our meth
ods when we're fighting men like

Philip went on. And this wars
got to be the last" he said. That's
one reason I was so eager to get
right in the middle of it. I won't
have my son-20 years from now
being called to fight another. It's
got to be the war to end all wars.
It's got to be-"
yes" said Helen softly-watch-
ing him, admiring the strength of
his jaw. the straightness of his
shoulders.

will happen if we don't settle mat

fairly drive myself. And if l ever
feel like weakening a little-sort of
slowing up-all l have to do is look
down at Dicks face, while he's
sleeping, and then"
Il understand" Helen said,
when he could find no words to ex-
press his feelings.
They went back inside. They had
another dance. Then Helen looked
at her watch.
DO you mind going now" she
asked. Il have to get up pretty
early, you know. Besides, I've got
some homework to do"
Homework? % said Philip. "You
sound like Dick. That's what he has
to do-with my help"
We're starting blueprint reading
at the defense school," she told
him. And I've got some prints to
study"
You are a busy person, aren't

into her eyes as though he were
searching their depths. Your pic

least. 1t doesn't eve do you JUS

"The one on your aunt's desk. I
see it every time I go in to have
a conference with her. Do you know
what l always think when I see
it?"
II haven't the slightest idea"
II always think how nice it
would be if the original were there
instead"
Sitting on the desk?" Helen
laughed.
mo, sitting AT a desk" Philip
said.
I'm glad you feel that way
about it," Helen said. But I've got
a desk to sit at in the apartment.
That is, if I'm to get caught up on
work"
Philip said: II hate to have the
evening end. | feel wide awake

They got in and were dropped IS

oddly silent as they were driven

a slight huskiness in his voice when
he said: And so here l am"
You mean you came owe to

Helen, finding words at last, and
trying to sound amused.

She stepped back a little, looked

"Fine!" Helen replied. only Wen

said.
And he was. But even so, Helen
was there first.
"The restaurants this way" she
directed. Il hope you don't object
to a lot of women shoppers. It's
pretty d~istracting at times-with
all of them trying to talk at once.
What do you mean 'trying'?"
Philip laughed. "They do. But I
won't hear them. I'll be too busy
listening to you" Then, when

en- their order, he went on. II want
to ask your advice about m

Il hope" said Helen, cts not the
S64 question:"
ITS about Dick, my SON." Philip
said. I've got to get him some
things to wear. He's growing so
gosh-darn rapidly, it's hard to keep
him covered. I thought perhaps you
could recommend a good place
where I car get him a couple Of
suits-and some other necessities"
"Why not right here in our

"You mean you folks carry boys

I'VE dove carry everything"

said, pleased.

I'll take you up as soon as we've

Araki, Japanese, petition ask
ing mercy for 1t. Gen. Tomoyuki
Yamashita, former Japanese COM

shita was sentenced to death by
Manila military tribunal for re-
sponsibility for atrocities in the
Philippines. The petition asking
that his life Le spared bore $4,000
signatures.

was soliciting signatures he was
approached by "bitter, FLOODED
Japanese" who urged him to break
off the campaign. He quoted the
men as saying that for what Mac
Arthur is doing in Japan they bet
ter assassinate him.
