Your Health
Pain in Abdomen
Very Difficult to
Properly Diagnose
BY HERMAN sUNDesEN. NJ. D.

BY HERMAN bUNDrSEN, NJ. q
SUDDEN attacks Of pain In the
abdomen present a problem to the
physician, because these attacks Of
pain may come from such variety
Of disorders. The doctor must use
every diagnostic aid available In
order 10 determine the exact cause
Of the disturbance so tina. proper
treatment may be promptly ad-
ministered. X-ray examination has
been most helpful in aiding the
physician In making q diagnosis In
cases Of attack Of acute abdominal
pain.
The pain may be produced BY
kidney stones or gallstones. Many
such stones are visible in the X-ray
plate. However, the mere fact that
stones are not found In the X-ray
plate does not mean that they are
not present. Another cause Of the
acute attacks Of pain Is obstruc-
ton Of the intestine. or blocking
Of the bowel.
Standing Position
An X-ray taken with the patient
in a standing position viii show
fluid in the intestine when there
is obstruction Of the bowel, while
the bowel itself will be swollen
with gas. In cases Of acute block
ing of the bowel, the bowel will be
found TO be dilated or stretched,
filed with gas and showing q level
Of fluid.
Not only will the X-ray show
when such an obstruction Is pres
ent but 1t will also give a good idea
as TO where the obstruction is so
that operation can be more easily
carried out to relieve the condition.
Another Condition
Another condition in which the
x-ray is helpful in making q dag
oosis Il known - pylorie stenosis.
This disorder occurs in infants. In
it there is an enlargement Of the
muscle between the stomach and
bowel, 80 that food cannot pass
from the stomach into the intes-
tine. X-ray will show the stomach
to be distended.
An X-ray of the abdomen will
also help to make . diagnosis Of
rupture Of the stomach or bowel.
In such eases gas will be found In
the abdominal cavity. An X-ray
plate is also taken in such eases
with the patient erect or lying on
his side.
Painful Disorders
Other disorders causing pain In
the abdomen, in which X-ray eI-
animation Is helpful In making q
diagnosis, are rupture Of the Kid
ney or the spleen, rupture or tear
ing Of the diaphragm, which Il the
large muscle between the abdomen
and chest, and abscess just under
the diaphragm, or abseess around
the kidney.
With care, the X-ray examina.
ton can be carried out without
any great discomfort to the pa
tient, and without causing any
great delay in surgical operation
when it Is necessary. Persons
should not delay in having treat
ment once . diagnosis ID made but
should take full advantage Of the
advances made by modern medi-
cal science.

An unusual sunday ScnOOl Cidoo IA
the Clarendon section Of Arlington
! Va. is an example of how a busy
middle-aged woman has inspired
Younger women to constantly In
creasing spiritual and civic service.
Sixteen years ago this month the
pastor of the Clarendon Methodist
Church at Sixth and North irving
streets, Arlington, said to Mrs. John
r. Jacobs, a recently widowed new
conner who had just established the
Kenmore Inn in the community: Il
need help. Will you start a Sunday
school class for young women?"
The Edith Jacobs Philathea Sum
day school class, with its roster OF
176 pupils and its ever-broaden1ng
list of benefactions, is today's an
swer to this plea.
Many of its original members of
the class are now wives and home
makers. Whether they are still ac-
tive members or not, a bi-monthly
newspaper, the Philathea Link, orig
mated and edited by Mrs. r. A.
Jackson, a present-day member, goes
out to them, wherever they are.
Daughter Of Clergyman.
During the entire period Of its
growth, this class has had Mrs.
Jacobs at its head. She is the
daughter of one Methodist clergy
man and the widow Of another. She
first began teaching Sunday school
when she was IL.
Asked If she had a recipe for the
unity and spirit of helpfulness which
motivates this group, Mrs. Jacobs
said: We are all workers. The work
Is divided, too, so that each has a
share in the JOY of doing it. take
no credit for the results. They are
due to our membership and the ef-
ficient chsi~.en who guide the diff
ferent committees. All of my life ]
have liked people, so teaching this
Sunday school class Is simply doing
something would rather do than
anything else"
In addition to her Sunday school
work, Mrs. Jacobs is also a capable
business executive. Her warm
hearted humanitarianism, plus her
skill in cookery have made her nota-
bly, successful in operating the inn
she opened the same year she got
her Sunday school under way. Both
the inn and her class are proudly
looked upon as Clarendon institu-
tions. '-
Raises Fund for Building.
An efficiency expert might envy
the smoothly running committee
setup which motivates the Sunday
school group. It functions through
class officers in well attended busi-
ness meetings held the second Tues
day night of each month. Mrs. c.
F. Holtzman is the retiring presi-
dent of the class. Mrs. Leslie E.
Putnam will succeed her. The vice
presidents are Mrs. J. r. Num- and
Mrs. r. M. King. Mrs. D. L. Grant
nam is treasurer and Mrs. William
w. Hohein, secretary.
Through the efforts Of this class,
nearly $4,000 have been raised re-
Gently for the church's new building
fund. In addition, a yearly philan-
thropic budget Of the same amount
is maintained for worthy causes.
Donations from it during the past
year included orphanage support,

YOUNG Women Find Inspiration

By Jessie Font Evans

social recreational facilities for
young peple, the Red Cross, leper
work, the cancer fund, American
relief for Holland and the Chinese
church in this city.
On the first Sunday OF each
month, Mrs. Jacobs attends her own
or some other class merely to listen.
On these days an assistant teacher
takes over Mrs. Jacobs class.
Among the assistant teachers are
Mrs. Norwood P. Myers, wife Of the
retiring minister of the Clarendon
Methodist Church; Mrs. j. A. Bet
terly, Mrs. w. B. Davidson and Mrs.
H. P. Myers.
Naturally, the Edith Jacobs
Philathea Sunday school class also
serves as a training ground for Sun
day school teachers, who later take
up classes all over the United States.
Such get-togethers as the annual
Christmas party in the Church
Social Hall, the New Year tea with
Mrs. Jacobs, the family picnic and
the dinners in September and Feb
ruary make for good fellowship and
help to make newcomers feel well
come.
Mother Of Three Children.
Typical Of its motivating spirit,
they believe, Is the class hymn,
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds. 4"
Significant too. is the special text
which the class has chosen, II can
do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me-"
The daughter Of the late Rev. H.
M. Strickler, Mrs. Jacobs was born
in Greenbank, w. Va.
Mrs. Jacobs three children, Maj.
H. C. Jacobs, Mrs. c. M. Stull and
John H. Jacobs, jr., share their
mothers enthusiasm for her Sunday
school class and frequently attend
sessions. When John, her youngest
son, returned recently from overseas
duty in the Pacific, his mother had
him as a guest speaker before the
class, because he had been one OF
the many servicemen remembered
by the Sunday school pupils in their
prayers.

BECAUSE It affects 40 many
people, pyorrhea or Riggs' disease
10 one of the most important Of the
disorders involving the teeth. It
not only causes eventual loss of
teeth, but may also be responsible
for general bad health, including
such conditions as indigestion, skin
eruptions and chronic rheumatism.
For these reasons better results
ar. obtained when doctor and dem
list work together to treat this
disease.
In the early stages Of pyorrhea
there is . shrinking Of the tissue
which holds the teeth to the gums.
Later, Inflammation Of the gum
margin is likely to cause some
soreness and pain and, as the
disorder progresses, the gum sepa-
rates from the teeth, forming
pockets which soon become filed
with pus or infected material.
Teeth Shift Position
Finally the teeth become loose
and shift position SO that the CEN
ter teeth may protrude. As q rule,
a great deal of tartar will be found
on the teeth. The tongue Is coated
and the breath has an offensive
odor.
