|LUMPY JAW YIELDS
TO ORAL HYGIENE
BY WILLIAM A o'BRIEN, MD,

Lumpy jaw (actinomycosis) is a
disease of cattle and swine which
is due to a mycosis fungus. Al
one time it was believed that
chewing animal = contaminated
grass and straw was the source
of actinomycosis in man, but most
human cases develop from fungi
which inhabit the gums and tonsils
of the patient.
Actinomycosis affects the neck.
lungs, stomach, and intestines Of
humans through aspiration or
swallowing of the fungi. The ap-
naarance of the infection in the
face and neck is striking, as
lumpy inflammatory masses form,
later to break down and discharge
nus containing yellow sulphur
like" granules. The disease is
more difficult to recognize when
il starts in the lungs, stomach, or
intestines./
When the small sulphur" gran
ules are crushed and examined
under the microscope, they are
found to consist of masses of the
fungus which causes the disease,
Fungi which are discharged from,
the Jaws of infected cows as thay
craze in the pasture may spread
the disease to other animals, but
rarely to man.
Actinomycosis usually remains
limited to the region of origin, al
though in occasional cases it
spreads through the system. The
majority of patients are adults
who have neglected their oral n.y.
giene.
When neck infection occurs, the
area feels like wood to the touch
and the skin develops a reddish
purple color. Pain is not a com
mon complaint, and the general
health may remain good.
AS the disease progresses and
sinuses form, the stiffness and
swelling interferes with swallow
ing. In older persons the disease
may be confused with carcer and
in younger persons with tIbercG.
losis of the lymph glands.
The Infection can be hrouglt
under control by s%craping out the
diseased a r e a S. Physicians no
longer use potash to any great ex.
tent, for it cures the infection only
in animals.
The sulfonamides have been
successful in h treatlre nt Of
lumpy jaw. Penicillin is very help
full. too, especially in the internal
and complicated forms of the dis
ease.
Farmers should refrain from the
practice Of chewing on grass or
straw, because of the rare poss,-
bility of thus acquiring lumpy jaw,
But neglected mouths are the real
source of most infections.
The development Of discharging
ksores on the face, mouth, or neck
should arouse the suspicion Of
lumpy jaw, and a physician should
be consulted at once.
In caring for patients with
actinomycosis, the discharges and
the dressings should be handed
with carr Most patients with tcis
infection need plenty of rest, sleep,
and nutritious food to help them
fight the disease.

A Familiar Type

~ AAAAAA0 AypC
A farmer put a tramp to work
chopping wood and he did all right
stacking it up nearby in the shed.
When he finished the farmer
thought he would give him some
thing lighter to do sorting DO
tatoes in the bin. "Put the good
ones in one pile, the doubtful ones
in another, and throw away the
rotten ones" said the farmer. An
hour later he went back and found
the tramp had passed out cold,
with virtually nothing done. After
throwing water in his face and
bringing him to, the farmer de-
manded an explanation.
Hell" the man said YEARLY,
its making them decisions that's
killing me-"

"UNION AND LIBERTY"
By WILLIAM T. L L

Back of the platform of Faneul
Hall, Boston, stands a large paint
ing of Webster's debate with
Hayne, inscribed Union ard lib
erty, nj and inseparable, now
and forever"
I was present when old General
William Booth founder of the Sal
fvation Army once made an ad-
dress in Faneul Hall. His pero-
ration was dramatic. Turning to
the painting, he cried, "Union and
liberty union with Christ and
liberty from sin, 'one and INSOFAR
able, now and forever
In a phrase, Gods great war
rior thus exrounded a deep truth.
The one safeguard against sins
thralldom is union with the living
Christ. Not by desperate struggle
against temptation, but by the full
ness of the upflowing Spirit OF
God, is the disciple kept safe.
There is no spiritual liberty apart
from his union.
We take refuge in Thee o.
Christ, from all the assaults Of
evil. Be Thou so fully our life that
base things will have no power
over us-Amen.

Editorial Comment
THE PURE IN HEART

Big Jim Folsom, with the aid of a hillbilly
band, was elected governor of Alabama. The
folks in the big cities just couldn't understand
how it happened, but it did. Lots of things are
worse than h~ill-billy music and some of them
are the city snobs who turn up their noses at
a jug band. Did you ever hear of a bunch of
crooks singing simple songs and making music
with striaged instruments? They just don't do
it!-Jim Chism, in Pelham Ga.) Journal.
