Abdominal Pain in Children

By Harman N. BunSeaen, M O. CAI'KKK of abdominal JM»iu in children are many and varied A< one time, such pain may Ire due to nothing more serious than a little digestive upset Again. it may signal the onset of appendicitis. Another common cause. a<> cording to Doctor lan Aird of Edinburgh. Scotland, is an Inflammation of certain lymph gland* within the abdomen, known a* the mesenteric lymph gland*. To an untrained observer, one of these trouble* might appear outwardly very much like another. To treat one tor another, however, would be disastrous. Therefore, parents are warned that in cases of abdominal twin in children, physician should be culled. In mesenteric lymphadenitis, the lymph glands become inflammed at first; then white and soft and. Anally, hard and red. There Jr. also some congestion of Idood in the tuna II Intestine and occasionally in the appendix. The entire bowel wall may become swollen or edematous A sore throat or similar infection may precede I Im* attack of mesenteric lymphadenitis. The most important symptom of mesenteric lymphadenitis, is severs colicky pain. The pain comes in spasms, and between spasms the ctald 1* comfortable bnt. even during a violent attack, may move about freely. The pain is most sevMw lit the lower right part of the abdomen. Sickaess to the stomach and vomttiag frequently occur. The temperature rises to about 101 degrees and there is also an Increase in the number of white cells in the bipod There to often some rigidity or stltness of the muscles, but this Is not as notice-1 . ...»

able as in appendicitis. The character of the pain also seems to differ from that prodtuwd by appendicitis. so that the two disorders can usually be told apart. A tuiierculoua tafectiou of the lymph glands in the alidomen may also occur. However. In tuberculosis. there is usually no increase in the number of white cells in the blood The abdominal mnsetes arc related and pain and discomfort persist between attacks. Children with mesenteric lymphadenitis. as a rule, arc apparently healthy and completely comfortable between attacks. Dr. Aird believes that mesenteric lymphadenitis may lie due to a virus, that Is. au organism so small that it can pass through the openings in a porcelain filter The virus is brought to the glands by passing through the walls of the intestine into the lymph channels. The fact that a respiratory Infection. sack as a cold or sore throat, often precedes the attack, favors the theory that the condition is produced by a virus, since these iofeiUoas are also thought to be canned by viruses. No treatment has been found i which wit! keep the attacks from recurring. However, operation and removal of the gland should i not be done, according to Dr. Aird. , since, as (hue passes, the condition tends to ejemr completely and no further attacks occur.. fThe important thing 1 about mesenteric lymphadsuitts is that its symptoms are like those of appendicitis and care must be taken not to mistake one for the other. The parents mq*t remember tw» Important things: Have a physician examine your child, and give no laxative or cathartics.

CHAPTER EIGHT ' I WAS beginning to worry about ' Margot s sanity. “You mean you want to give up writing?" It was the only explana- . turn for her cryptic atatemeat I could think of. "It isn’t a question of what I 1 want,” she said wearily. "In your 1 opinion, Jane—tun I a great writer?" “You've been a beat wiier for zO years and have an enormous following," I told her cautiously. "And that answers my question." She jumped up and began pacing the room. "I'm traveling on my reputation. People liked my trash 20 years back and fool themselves into etiil Uking it. But ts they realised I know I have nothing to after •my public* and am laughing up my sleeve at their, and my publishers', gullibility, it would be curtains for ax, my dear." "But—do you?" wap all I could any, remembering various dtocusstaM wM> Aunt Jane about the strange phenomenon of Margot Ingalls’ popularity in spite of her trite Bterias. ! She didn't seem to hear me. "1 can’t let it happen. I must find a way out," she went on. And this tome I was aure she had forgotten my presence completely- "M not °° my terms, then on—" She broke est ns her eyes met mine by chance and stood stiH. "I’m poor, Jane. I need money desperately," she said, staring at use tragically. i I couldn’t believe my ears. "Bui you are making scads of money!" I out. | She nodded. "Yes. And spend snore. Ton have no idea, child! Waiters and brothers and cousins and aunts and—former husbands and , other follies. They all puU at me. I ' keep spending- spending! And this ilast year—" She gestured toward ,tbe open eloset bursting with gorgeous clothes. ’There are thousands In there. And my new face bps cqst <a mint.” W ho

ber face. On Pony’s advice, most < likely— 1 “When a woman of my age fails in love she goes crazy," she went on Utterly. "Take my advice, Jane. < If it iver happens to you—don't ‘ trust, don’t write letters. And don't i let it drown you! It comes too high I in pride and pain and hunger. You i lie to yourself and you humble 1 yourself and—" I She stopped talking with a quiv- i ering sigh. i “You must think I’m demented." ; she said after a while. "But I'm not. i Tm only very unhappy and worried i out of my wits. Please go to bed ’ and forget what I’ve said." Alone in my room I thought over the whole crazy talk and tried to i make sense of it But try as I might. I I couldn't. There seemed to be no i possible connection between Margot Ingalls’ infatuation for some man—for whose benefit she had apparently bought her new clothes and remodeled her face—and her fear of losing prestige because she herself had no great opinion of her ' work. Also, her remark about not ' warning Neal—she hadn’t said, of what—could be nothing but back- , biting, dictated by perfectly justified anger. i Still. I decided to repeat every > word I remembered to Claire Wal- * Ung in the morning. Her aasocia- ■ tion with our Margot was much

longer than mine, and might help. I had been getting out of my clothes and going through the nightly rites of hair brushing and face creaming during my reflections anil was almost ready for bed when someone beat a brief tattoo at my door. The next moment Neal walked in. looking like a Greek statue come to life in a trailing white robe and with her bright hair twisted high on her head, and dragging one of the huge pillows of her bed-divan along by one coracr. A lovely, deep rose-colored one. She banged the door shut behind her without regard for the late hour or my guest and announced careicscdy: ”Surprise I Present for you!" flinging the cushion on the chaise longue in front of the fireplace where I usually do my night reading, and then throwing herself on top of it. "Why?" I inquired, going on with my cold creaming. "Because it screams at my hair and goes with the cabbage rases on your chintz. Jones' idea," she informed me, reaching for the inevit-

able etgaret. “My thanks to Jones," I told s er 1 curtly, getting out of my robe and walking toward the bed. ‘ And—i good night." i She didn't move. "Mad as all geti out because I made your elderly Ingalls siren look silly?" she asked : with her damnable throaty laugh. "Correct I'm so angry I could r slap you. You acted like a pig this ; afternoon. Like a mean, selfish pig," I burst out, against my bet- ! ter judgment. And then I proceed* I ed to air all my grievances against her, concluding them with: "And I what’s the big. idea of making - fiam fdnatauge h** new book I without having it published first? I Don't you knqw hA only just get- [ ting estaMtohed and it may knock i his whole career to pieces?” I She listened quietly, in obvious . amiiwmmit k, k her loudly. -I diknal PtaattlMintmlMntiP— A.fifc

cept as a promising eflent For all 1 care you can MARRY him." She slowly got to her feet “Say — that is an Idea," Nbe , drawled with half-closed eyes. ’’Nothing like observing the customs of the country you're in at the time. In England —girls have affairs that are called engagements. Here—they make it legal and go to Reno when they're fed up. Besides, a wedding always is good i publicity. Yes, Angel! 1 may follow I your kind suggestion. Not neces- ■ sarily with Deane, though. After ; all, there are lots of others. Tonlo j Valente, for example. He's fright- | fully rich. Coffee, you know. Only —he may have the cute idea I , should quit the stage and come live in Rio. Or that friend of Dick's I ' saw you talking with. What’s his | name? Berwick? The lad’s fascinating somehow. Looks as though he had brains. He might do, for a while." It was so idiotic it should have made me laugh. But it didn't “Certainly he has brains. He proved it by—not giving you a tumble," I said rather sharply, getting into bed. Neal's eyes narrowed until they were mere green slits. "That's right. He didn’t,” she said slowly "But—that can be remedied, angel I like men who arc bard to get.” I scarcely knew Hunt Berwick and he certainly didn't mean e thing to me, but Neal’s deliberate sneer made me so furious I wanted to throw things at her. Only - that was what she wanted me to do. And so I pulled myself j together and told her. with a yawn: “Okay, Neal. Remedy away and good luck to you. But right now, get out of here. I want to sleep.” And then I turned out the light a a v Thursday I was too busy for the talk I'd promised myself with Claire Wailing. Margot Ingalls practically glued herself to my office in her anxiety to make me push through a threeserial contract for her with a national magazine and displayed an impatience I would formerly have blamed on her desire to get back to the coast, but that now looked > suspiciously like desperation to me. To make matters worse she kept ! changing her plans for the evening, now including me . . . now ruling . me out, until in the end she went i qff by herself to some mysterious

appointment, and I had dinner at home, alone. A peaceful dinner, followed by a quiet evening—due to Neal's exodus on the Merchants Limited, at five, for her Friday night opening in Boston. An evening that had only one flaw: Rosa's scandalised objections to Margot Ingalls' demand for the exclusive use of the apartment the fidlowing afternoon. "I'm astonished at you, Mias Jane," she told me, disapproval written all over her good, honest face. "You ain't no child any more and should know better. If that lady wants the apartment so bad that even I have to go out, she wpnta it for heyaelf and a man —and not to say prayers with him either* 41, f ■ ; It was a plain statement of what I'd been thinking myself and. I must confess, it disturbed me more than I cared to admit Nor did the talk 1 ’Ad at last with Oalre. shortly before leaving the ofitce on Friday, make me feel any better about it ■ ft saa>"-" 1X« #• Continued)
