KEEPING HEALTHY
Nervous SYMPTOMS and Chronic Diseases
By DR.. James w. Barton

TT IS generally agreed that about
L one-half of all patients who con-
suit their physicians have no real
physical or organic disease, but
have symptoms which are the same
or very similar to those present in
organic disease.
In all cases, the physician, after
making a thorough examination,
is able to tell the patient that an
organic disease is or is not present.
If not present, he is able to ex-
plain to the patient why the symp-
toms of organic disease are present.
It is because of the nervous make
up of the patient. I am speaking of
the general run of patients who
consult physician.
It is interesting to learn Of a
group of patients, all of whom are
"chronics''-that is, have been un-
der the care Of physicians for a
long time.
In the journal of the American
Medical Association. Drs. Frank
N. Allan and Manuel Kaufman of
the Lahey clinic in Boston, report
Arizona sun., 1949-05-06

their analysis of the mental, ner-
vous and emotional factors in 1000
unsolicited cases, in which the
patients had to come to the Lahey
clinic for a general medical exami-
nation. They were all chronic cases.
In 594 of the 1000 cases, some
.phycical illness was causing the
symptoms; there was no real ner-
vous or emotional problem present
that could be the cause or even a
partial cause. In 272 cases the COM
plants or symptoms were entirely
due to nervousness or emotional
disturbances. In 134 cases a com
bination of physical disorder and
significant" nervous and emotion
al disturbances was causing the
symptoms.
These physicians remind us that
any illness involves certain
amount of nervous or mental dis
turbance. The patient wonders what
is wrong, what the outcome may
be. The degree of nervousness de.
pends upon the makeup of the
patient.

Answer: Only if you think some
bne is listening. A person may talk
to himself, even out loud, for the
purpose of reducing his ideas to
words so as to make them clearer,
and the practice has been advo-
Gated as way of learning how to
speak in public. But the fact that
certain types of mental patients
who live in a dream world are
apt to be unaware of their sur
roundings may lead them not only
to talk to themselves when they
are not alone, but to hold ami
mated conversations with people
who exist only in their sick imag-
nations.

sounded perfectly
fair. Where did you get your au-
thority?" AS we saw last week.
Jesus had assumed simply trem-
endous authority. Wasn't it fair
to ask him where he got it?
The trouble was that the men
who asked the questions didn't
want to know. They only wanted
to heckle Jesus
The world is full of just such
license-hunting shoppers as
these. They do not like it when
q man succeeds. They partic-
ularly do not like it when a man
succeeds without their help.
who is this fellow anyway?
Where did he get his start? what
family does he have. where is his
diplomat" Jesus never answered
this question, because he knew why
they asked it. mark 11:27-33.)
Taxes
TN JESUS TIME you could not
/ vote either for more taxes, or
less. You paid what the Roman
soldier at your door said to pay.
and you were thankful not to be
poked in the ribs with his sword
while you were fishing up the mon
ey. But no one dared to complain.
The Romans had some deep dank
dungeons for people who COM
planned about high taxes. So the
next question Jesus enemies asked
him was about taxes, or tribute,
which means the same thing. They
thought they had Jesus on spot
where whatever he said would put
him in the wrong. Suppose he said:
"Yes. pay taxes by all means. "
Then they would snarl: Boot
ticker of the Romans! Traitor to
your country!" But if Jesus said,
mo, don't pay taxes" then they
would howl: Treason! Police! Ar
rest this man who defies the En-
peror!" Jesus answer was mas
terpiece, because he not only did
not dodge the hot question, he did
not leave the questioners a leg to
stand on. mark IBID.
Hairsplitters by Trade
THE CRITICS of Jesus were hair
1 splitters by trade. Yet none Of
them had ever been able to an
swer another tricky question with
which they now expected to floor
Jesus.
(Which is the greatest COM
mandment of all?" The ques-
ton had been going the rounds
for generations. The greatest
minds in Jewery had wrestled
with it. But it was a foolish
question after all.
Which is the most important
brick in a wall? What position on
a volley-ban team is the most
important? What is the most i'm.
portant link in chain? An answer
to these questions would seem about
as easy as answering that one about
the greatest commandment. Jesus
knew they were trying to show him
up as bungler, as very poor and
amateurish hairsplitter indeed. But
instead, he did what no one ex.
pected him to do: he answered their
question, and answered it so well
that it is one of the cornerstones
Of our religion today.

HEALTH NOTES I


Most of us have always thought
that while slenderness Of body was
often associated with allergy, as
people were born" that way, there
was nothing that could be done
about it. It is indeed gratifying to
know that if allergic children are
protected as suggested, it means a
more satisfactory growth and de-
velopment of the body.

Answer: Not to any extent we
can count on. The noted authority
on genius, DR.. Lewis M. Terman,
has followed the histories of near
ly 1900 "gifted'' children to age
35, and says 80 per cent of their
offspring show superior intelli-
gence, but how far this may be
the result of better education and
contact with brilliant adults, no
one can prove. Students of heredity
believe that high intelligence may
be due to fortunate combination
of the "genes" inherited from
many ancestors, but just having
clever parents does not guarantee
it.

bristles with practical thoughts, one
Of the most practical being how to
take criticism. All of us can take
it from our friends and families:
we kTWW they mean it for our own
good. But criticism that is unfair,
from people who want only to show
us up for fools or to get us into
hot water-that is hard to take.
Jesus should be our example.
He did not let other peoples
criticisms interfere with his
work. He never avoided crit
icism. He did not "twist the
lions tail, he did not deliber-
ately provoke criticism. But
he would not claim exemption
from what every one has to
stand, being looked over and
rated by the people who knew
him.
He never broke his heart over
what people said of him. He die

Auto Voting Booth
In Election Poll

Musk egon H ei g h is, Mich

In contract settlement several
months ago, the company agreed to
maintenance of membership

conveying to each and every mem
Der that it is their duty as well as
privilege to cast their ballot on

At present the Salem China
Company is only working part

flux of foreign-made ware being
shipped into this country. Perhaps
the time is ripe to start another
"Buy-American" movement.
One thing we are sure of which
will be effective is to make it a
point when we are doing our shop

in America and bearing the union

The membership is asked to

Meantime, hundreds of COM

The AFL statement cited many

our local is not active. In the past

to great extent.
Our officers, President Charles

to make Local II one of the out
standing locals of the Brotherhood.

have Dragged of not attending
meetings for eight years, are be-
ginning to see the light. One thing
that gladdens the heart of your

younger members at our meetings.
The attendance has been increas-
ing each meeting and we feel this
is largely due to the interesting
discussions we have on trade mat
ters, plus a little social activities.
President Charles Boso is cam
didate for seventh vice president
in the coming election. This is the
first time to our knowledge that
one of our members has been nom
mated for a post on the Executive
Board. Our best luck to (Charlie)

Union Charges
Bell Co. With
Wire Tapping

Washington OPA) = The Bel

week was accused of tapping the
wires of Communications Workers

State and Idaho.
On the basis of information re
ceived from f. j. Follis, Washing
ton-Idaho negotiations committee
chairman, A. B. Harrington, CWA
public relations director, request
ed the Federal Communications
Commission to investigate Bell
practices.
AT&T, in those states, has STALL
ed wage negotiations with CWA,
and last week delayed answering
a Washington state government
request that it submit to arbitra-
ton of the wage dispute. The union
promptly accepted the states sug7
gestion.
Follis reported to CWA head
quarters that union leaders in the
Spokane area have heard "numer-
Gus clicks and irregular noises on
their lines," and have noted that
company representatives have had
knowledge of union plans which
they could only have gotten from
wire tapping.
Whenever there has been a ma
tionwide telephone issue pending
between CWA and Bell, the unions
international officers have had
good reason to believe that their
wires were tapped, Harrington
pointed out.
