FAMOUS FABLES
BY z. z. EDGAR

FAVORITE: One night at a
dinner party. waltz king
Johann Strauss was asked by
the hostess to play some of his
music on the piano before the
meal was served.
Strauss assumed that she
meant one number, but he was
still playing an hour later. He
was not only annoyed: he was
also getting hungrierl by the
minute.
Finally his hostess exclaimed:
Your waltzes are divine. Mr..
Strauss. Tell me. which is your
favorite instrument--the piano
or the violin?"
Neither" said Strauss. 1T
is the dinner gong"
SAFE: Once. in reviewing a
play during his drama critic
days. Haywood Brown referred
to the leading man as the
worlds worst actor" Stung.
the actor brought suit, and a
bitter litigation ensued. The
case was finally dismissed.
Some months later. Broun
again had occasion to review a
play In which the same actor
was appearing. More than
ever. he was convinced that his
original estimate OF the actors
ability had been justified. But
this time he was in no mood
to tangle with the courts.
Mi" he wrote. was not
up to his usual standard.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: I
know that eczema can be a
stubborn ailment in a child.

suggestion. Did you ever tell
the parents that the trouble
may lie with them?

thought maybe the trouble

him SO: too much tension,

Of physicians showed that about
one out of three doctors had
curtailed or given up cigarette

Gall Bladder
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: Am
wondering IL you would write
again about the gall bladder.
Particularly. what Is meant
by a "hot gall bladder" Is
surgery absolutely necessary?
sincerely Mrs. N. d.
Like the term hot appendix
the descriptive (but nonmedi-
cali terminology hot gall
bladder" signifies the presence
OF an infiamed organ. The gall
bladder is probably filled with
stones and its wall is infiamed
and the enclosed bile is thick
and infected.
Unlike the procedure in acute
appendicitis where immediate
operation is performed. sur
geons are much more wary
about "going right in" where
the gall bladder is the offender,
They observe their patient
closely. II he doesn't respond
well to treatment. II the in
lection cannot be brought under
control. the doctor will operate
to forestall rupture Of a gan
grenous gall bladder wall.
However, II after 24-48 hours,
the fever is down and the pulse
normal. the doctor can take his
time about evaluating the best
time for operation. In fact,
many patients get over such an
attack and never come TO oper-
alton.
There is no overall formula
for correct procedure. Whether
or not surgery is absolutely
necessary" will always depend
upon the patients condition,
and upon the surgeons ex-
perience in acute gall bladder
surgery.
