Mumps Serious In An Adult

By Herman N. Buwdwaen, M.D. MOST of us by the time we have grown up have had mumps, which is rarely a serious disorder for the child but may be most trouble some in an adult. ' , Mumps is due to infection with a virus. The condition affects the glands which form saliva. There" are a number of these glands, such as the parotid glands, located just, below the' ear. Others are under thechiu. £ Troublesome Factor One troublesome factor is that every now and then, and particular-' ly in the ords* person, piumps is . complicated Uy inflammation of the sexglands. The disease is usually spread from one person to another in droplets blown into the air during sue** ing or coughing- Usually one attack brings permanent protection against the The disorder - can be transmitted from one per-' son to another before the actual, ‘ symptoms Appear. For a few days before the swelling in the salivary glands occurs, , the youngster may feel tired, have /Chilly sensations, a dry throat, and sometimes sighs of a cold. Then the parotid glands on the sides of tb’e (ace begin to gwell. They are ’ quite painful and swallowing is also

Many of the Pickens works have been made into Successful movie*. “Oliver .Twist,* “David Copperfield* and “A Tale of Two Cities” we notable exH amples. The afory of Bbegezer Sebrooge, who thought Christmas was a “humbug,” and of Tiny Tim who helped to change the old miser's mind is excellent material which has undying appeal for young and old. ’' i - o ■-d — Although food prices reached their peak in November and ac- __ ■ cording to Michael DiSalle, price stabilizer, may go higher before they will be lower, food is still America’s best bargain. A couple that went to housekeeping 30 or 40 years ago, found food prices high in those days, compared to their earning power. The head of one of the nation’s leading \ grocery chains, says that at the consumer “more food can be-bought today with industrial wages than at any time in our history. This same business exe'.cuiive said that the farmer is now receiving 50 cents out of every dollar spent tor food, compared, to 39 cents in 1939. o Atomic Weapons:*— The Atomic Energy Commission proposes that a large expansion be made in the American atomic weapons program, Tha Commission said that new tactical uses have been found for atomic wea- \ pons, and that therefore the mili- ■ ' . l : 1 tary will be wanting greater quantities. At the same time new |' sources of uranium have been found in Colorado and in Canada, so that the raw material for expansion is available. ;; Those two facts alojie might not be compelling reason, for an enlargement project which would be costly in money, manpower and other materials. But there ,is a third reason, it is the fact that l . threats of war An various parts of the world are increasing, so that our need for atomic gtrength also . • ■ \ I - 3 is growing: We use atomic strength for a dual purpose in interpat|paal affairs—it is a powerfu: threat to. discoutege a potential enemy, and it Is a bulwark of our defenses in the hvent a new world war should ocdur. Communist propagandists will attack both the idea and the project. as proof that America’s intentions are warlike. It is important that we be very clear in our own minds that our purpose is to make peace secure, if it can be done, and it is yital that we tell tire world so confidently, and repeatedly. j <

painful. There may be fever- up to IP2 degrees. f • ? Bad, Re*t The usual treatment for mumps in the: child i» to put him at rest in bed and to give preparations prescribed by the doctor to relieve the pain and discomfort. Adults who. have been exposed to mumps might well be protected with what is knoqrn as convalescent serum; that is. blood serum taken from a person wle has recently recovered from the disease. This is important in the adult since the complication of inflammation of the 1 tentacles or ovaries is serious and .may lead to sterility. There is no vaccine for permanently preventing this disease .which is known up to; the preeent time, although there is a vaccine which seems to give protection for short periods. ; ' \ . While mump# Is not a serious disorder in the child, nevertheless it needs proper medical treatment. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS A. R.: I have an enlarged, prominent vein on the white part of my eye. Can I have it removed? Answer: Unless the enlarged vein you describe is causing discomfort, R probably would not be advisable to have It removed. -. • •I. ! 8 •

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE "HERE, LET ME,” said Nicholas. He stopped to study the way Mollie oouid squat with her forelegs bent bach directly unddr hex thighs, “My Knees are ninged wrong,” he decided, finding mmsett unable to duplicate her, posture. “But you can make toast,” she comforted him. They moved Sylvester's tray to the floor and ate hugely ot toast and th* cheese, which were fine! As was the Calvados, icy, stinging. They talked shop: Mollie told ot the favorable report she'd had from Ragsdale on Johnny’s condition. “1 had hoped you would attend that, Nicholas.” “I’ll leave it to you. Even though you do throw instruments all over the operating room, I think you can be trusted.” She made a face at him, and he nodded. “Are you still going to New York for the convocation ?” "1 hope to. Pm presenting my final cases, you know.” “I might go with y0u...” he said casually. It was getting close to a time when he could mention the lease. \ She wiped her bands on a napkin. “Is that the proposition it sounds tike, Dr. Cowan?" “If you like* I’ve made you better ones." She glanced at him. His face was serious, his eyes intent Watchful—Oh. dear. After the day she’d bad—Johnny, her glowing excitement smothered by Clare’s suggestions, her anger—then Peterall tile emotions of the day came at her like a series ot waves toward a child upon the beacn, and like that child, she scampered away before the accumulated impact. She threw the napkin aside. “I wish you wouldn’t always spoil things. Nicholas!” peevishly. 1 He leaned forward to look into her face. “Mollie?” His eyes were troubled, “Does it really spoil things when | say I love you?” She darted a glance at him, looked swiftly away. She picked up the tong fork and pushed bits of ash back tnto the fire. Nicholas—what if he should put out tus hand — his arm — draw her elose, and kiss her? What would it be like to love Nicholas—to show her love—and let him... Drowning in a sudden smother of her own emotions, for the first time she was shy with Nicholas. “No,” she said primly, “it doesn’t spoil things.” He didn’t move, or speak. “And—l’ll marry you now, Nicholas.” Her hand clenched about the fork; her face was white tn the fire’s glow. “If you still—l’ll marry you.” ..

"And I spoiled it.”. “Yea. you did!" ne snapped. “Except that you didn’t bring up Peter, you broke this winter’s record for spoiling things." He sounded fully as peevish as she nad dona earlier. ? ' ’ '' Mollie reached for the doorknob. “1 still could mention Peter," she said coldly. “If you i need reminding that there are other men in tins town.” “The cliche goes [other fish in the sea,’ ” said Nicholas nastily, opening the door for ner; but ne stood bolding it for a minute, looking at her. •‘Molhe,” he said slowly, ‘Tin sorry I said that. 1 apologize.” She didn’t answer.

He was slated tor a Staff position m Group, His reputation for brilliance was undisputed- But she had never been with him so constantly as she was on that day when he accompanied ner on her rounds of the orthopedic ward, sat with her while she carefully discussed each case and indicated her overall plans for the patients. / Adrian * Ragsdale was a-tall young man, and an exceedingly handsome one. His nair was dark anti thick, tus eyes black, thicklauied, his mouth full-lipped and sensuous, nis voice deep. He was somewhat pale: he walked always with a Tong-legged stride which atje .up the distances he must cover In the big . hospital His hands were clever; the children I liked him. . And ytt, within his handsome body, was a tautness; behind his evident Smedical ability was a tenseness/ .. His black eyes burned too brightly, ms mouth was too Sensitive/ Mollie was disturbed by a certainty that something was wrong with Dr. Ragsdale. , She tried to remember what Nicholas'had said in a discussion of him: < she wanted to talk to Nicholas? more specifically about the. Resident. And then she felt again the sickening emptiness tn her life which her own foolishness nad created. Shd spoke to Josek, another stall orthopedic surgeon—a spine man —about the wisdom of leaving her cas?s in Ragsdale’s Charge while she attended the convocation in New York. ’ ' . | “Why not?” “Well, he’s not a surgeon.” “Few pediatrists are.

You and I may be good, but he’s special." “Yes, I know," said Mollie. ' Rut she still worried about the young doctor—the way be stood, his shoulders taut within his white smOck: his hand resting on a fracture frame would show knuckles glistening white.

Sure, the suggested subjects of wiue. tfomeii and song are more enticing to everyone than the thoughts of 4elf preservation during an enemy attack.
