Painful Condition Tiny Babies May Develop

However, the weight gain is not as
much as should occur normally.
An X-ray examination is helpful
in making diagnosis of pyloric
stenosis. If it is found that the
baby is suffering from this condi-
ton, it is advisable that treatment
be carried out in hospital.
Some of these babies may get
along satisfactorily with medical
treatment which consists Of thick
feelings of cereals, plenty of fluids
(if necessary, by injection under
the skin or into vein), and the CIV
ing of what is known as antispas-
modic drugs, such as atropine,
which rclaxes the muscles.
In Poor Condition
If the baby fails to respond to this
treatment within two or three days,
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-03

or if the baby is in poor condition
as a result of vomiting for more
than week, an immediate opera
ton may be necessary.
Before the operation is carried
out the baby must be given plenty
of fluids and often an injection of
whole blood into a vein.
Special care is necessary follow
ing the operation. The baby is given
fluids four to six hours after the
operation is performed and is grad
ually returned to normal feelings.
If breast milk is available it should
of course be given to the infant.
1t is important that this condi-
ton be diagnosed early, before the
baby gets into a weakened condition
which makes an operation more
hazardous.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Reader: For some three years
| have had ATTACKS of vomiting and
soreness in the abdomen. l believe
this is due to my gall bladder trou-
BILE. Will gall bladder show up in
an X-ray?
Answer: X-ray examination will
not always reveal gall-bladder dis
turbances. However, your physician
will be able to make definite dag
nosis after thorough study of your
condition.
If the difficulty is due to gall
bladder disorder. treatment with
diet may aid in controlling the con-
dition. In some cases, operation may
be required.

FEW disorders have more definite
symptoms than pyloric stenosis,
condition which sometimes develops
in infants between the second and
tenth week of life.
The baby, usually boy, vomits
repeatedly and fails to gain weight,
or even loses, sometimes at the rate
of several ounces a day. The bowel
movements are scanty, infrequent
and contain mucus. The doctor can
usually feel a hard lump within the
abdomen and his practiced eye can
see the movements of the stomach
through the abdominal wall.
A Major Cause
While we are not sure of the exact
cause Of pyloric stenosis, most doc
tors agree that spasm of the muscle
ring, which makes the opening be-
tween the stomach and bowel, is
major cause. Usually, there is also
= gradual overgrowth of this
muscle.
The vomiting generally starts be-
tween the second and tenth weeks
Of life and gradually gets worse
until the baby vomits every feeding.
Of course, this vomiting interferes
with the baby's nutrition and is
followed by severe loss Of weight.
Another Disorder
There is another disorder known
as pylorospasm which may be con-
fused with pyloric stenosis. In py-
loFospasim, the symptoms are much
milder. The baby vomits, but not
often, aad there is no loss Of weight.

When You
Shop For

BY HELEN FOLLETT

PERFUMES always have and al
ways will exercise q potent inhu-
ence. We never pause to inquire why
we prefer this, that or some other
scent, or why some that are pleasing
to US are repellent to others. It is
all rather mysterious. Also, like
some acquaintance 4 perfume may
not always seem the same; the
longer we have it with US, the less
we like it. 1t doesn't wear we'll.
Fortunately, the makers Of per-
fumes put up their delicious Offer
ings in walls and bottles Of various
sizes. Buy a small one If you are
changing from your longtime IA
vorite. Be sure that it is delicate
and flower like. And, while you are
about it, get sachets Of the same
scent. They will form background
for the more expensive investment.
Tuck them in your hat and glove
boxes, put them between your hand
kerchiefs and scarves. In course of
time your entire wardrobe will be
deliciously fragrant.
Egyptian Perfumes
From the time that Eve enjoyed
the odors of the green growths In
the Garden of Eden. perfumes have
been beloved. In the magnificent
cities of Nineveh and Babylon, the
perfumes employed would stagger
belief. The Egyptians enjoyed them
during the fourth dynasty, using
them in their baths, frictioning
floretted odors into their body sur
faces.
During the Middle Ages, per-
fumes were so costly that their use
was limited to the court Of mobiles.
1t was the Crusaders who brought
perfumes into general use. Return
ing from the East, they brought
quantities of precious oils and, from
that day to this, sweet scents have
been part of every woman's beau
tifying equipment-if she can at
| ford them.

THE Chef watched skeptically as
| measured a half cup of cold water
into a deep quart bowl, added a
tablespoonful of lemon juice, stirred
in half cup of non-fat dry skim
milk from the package, and started
to beat it vigorously with an egg
beaten.
"You really expect to make from
this mixture a whipped topping to
use instead of whipped cream?" he
inquired with note of polite sar-
casm.
Beat in Sugar
"Wait and see," l answered. "In
five minutes the mixture practically
filed the bowl. Then | beat in two
tablespoons of sugar, few grains
of salt and a few drops of vanilla
and without word presented it to
the Chef.
He lifted up a tablespoonful. The
mixture held its shape, He tasted
it. He tasted it again. Still doubt
full he remarked, at is not as rich
as the whipped cream. 1t is more
like an uncooked meringue. But |

Dry Skim Milk
"And you've said something,
Chef. This whipped dry skim milk
can be used in making chiffon pies,
bavarian creams, whipped gel des-
serts, on cocoa, and as a topping for
chilled fruit compotes, gingerbread
or rice or tapioca buildings"
''ln my opinion this new topping
should be served very cold" he OBJ
served. "How long will it stand af-
ter it has been whipped, Madame ?"
sit will keep for five or six hours
in the refrigerator-as long as
whipped cream. And Chef" l added
with a meaningiul look, "even a
person who should reduce can en-
joy this topping because it has very
few calories. 1t is made with dried
skim milk that is largely protein
and not fat like cream. It's because
of this protein which might be COM
pared to egg white, that the dried
skim milk mixture will hold the all

Fun For
.FutherAn
His Child
b. CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.p.

MOST fathers enjoy the child
enjoy watching him as a wiggling
infant, enjoy holding him, enjoy
seeing how much he has grown and
developed from time to time.
Though Dad may not get the first
smile from the baby or hear his first
chuckle, it is thrill for the father
to see this infants early smile and
hear his precious early laughter.
Reaching for Objects
It's fun for Dad to see the baby
I. begin to reach for objects, manipu-
late them, drop them, throw them
and later to put things together with
a purpose construct, build. Fun
to see the tot learn to creep after
things, pushing, pulling, hitting
them. Fun to see the tot pull HIM
self to his feet and gradually walk
as he holds fast to something, ven
turing farther and farther. What
fun it is to see the youngster take
his first step, especially if the child
supposes he is all alone. l shall
never forget seeing a child begin
ming all alone to walk. He did not
know anyone was watching him. He
was outside an old house among
some timothy stalks. As you know,
a stalk Of timothy affords only
token support, but this youngster
stepped forward seizing the top Of
one stalk, then another. The sup
port was psychological.
IT'S fun for Dad to recognize the
first word the youngster utters,
even though the recognition is
chiefly imagination. Very precious
to hear Dada" What fun for Dad
to hear this growing little person
put more and more words together,
thereby expressing his feelings or
seeking information. Blessed is the
tot whose Dad enjoys answering all
his questions.
Reading TO Child
What fun a father can have read
ing to the little child. Long before
this child is two he likes to look at
pictures, talk about them, ask ques-
tons about them and hear his dad
answer these questions and tell
about the pictures. And Dad so talks
by using the words on the page he
reads, first brief nursery rhymes,
then very short folk tales and the
he. my bulletin, Books from
H1ri - Read to Baby and Young
fari- oe had in a stamped en-
so nat pleasure Dad can
seeing the little child so
r being read to, as he sits
70 father or on his knee.
.les Dad makes up yarns for
10 child-all magic until SIM
L. rms come out Of the young
ster's head. Have you ever observed
the beauty on the face Of the young
child creating, when he felt sure his
father or mother was enjoying his
creation! It's fun for Dad to keep on
reading to this child day after day,
when the child is three, five, even
twelve or sixteen. How wonderful
when the teen-ags child and Dad
read to each other, enjoying to-
Sether some Of the great classics.
It's great fun for a father to make
things with the toddler two, the
child nine or the youth, gradually
building for and with the child a
home workshop where he and Dad
make things together for fun
sometimes with other children.
Great fun for the father to go hik-
ing, camping, and fishing with his
son; to play table tennis, badmin-
ton or games like checkers or chess
together.
