Dehydration Used To Ease Rheumatic Pain

By Herman N. OuMssen. M. 0. PAIN h among Ibe outatauding symptoms of wwalled "rheum* Him" and anything which will reHava it o#er» a great boon to m<-n and women who suffer from, such conditions as toflammatton of the Joints or of the coMeeting tissue between and around musettes Two English William 8. C. Copsman and Pugh — have recently' devised a unique treatment which seems in help not only the above mentioned ailments but sciatica as well. Sciatica simply means pain along the sciatic nerve which starts in the lower part of the hack and passes down the back of the leg. Cellaction of Fluid <ii -sli of ities* oondittons there i„ a welltug due to a collect ton of fluid in the tisaua-Jt. These doctors reasoned that this engorgement caused pressure on nerves, thus producing pein. To relieve It, they used what Is called artificial dehy dratlon. in which the normal amount of fluid in the body Is reduced. They fou4 that with ibis treat meat the patients were relieved of at least three-fourths of their pain and regained Hwjijefourlbs of their ‘normal activity 'Two-thirds of the patients with flhrositls and rhenwere benejtiliul and more i than one-third of those with mlattoa. They state that,in fibrosltis, par tiiiiariy, the fatty tissues which; contain the gerres and blood vts-j •eb become swollen or edematous, i

There. are only four resident Grand Op I era companies in the country, say*! Its press and promotion bureau, San Francisco, Chicago and (Tn- i cinnati all using some of tho earn* singers. But only in ('in cinnati Is the air festive and informal and that city presents in Its summer season more different operas for a longer season than either Chicago or San Francisco. -0 King Hubert 11.

I and later king* of Sardinia and Piedmont The title "king of Italy" was not attained until 1961. If it makes Humbert happier to be call ed king of Jerusalem, let him have the title. His hold on the Italian throne is not much more secure. 9 g *• —O- O~— Shall India be divider! into a Hindu and a Mohammedan state known as Pakistan? This question. only slightly less troublesome than the problem whether India shall be independent at all. is discussed anew in "Foreign As fairs'' by Sir Frederick Pnckle. head of India's central board of information If Pakistan is created, It will bring into existence the largest Mohammedan state in the world If not, can the Hindu* and the Mohammedan* live together In peace wtlhout a third group like the British to compel them? Different races do live in fair harmony in Canada and Switzerland, but by voluntary decision. Thi* element ot good will is not con Kpicnoiisly present in India. . i nt 1 I. . Il H.i.—

The collection of fluid causes presI sure which. In turn, produces the pain In both rheumatism and flbro- - gitis. Dehydration Process To get rid of this swelling they need the process of dehydration, that is, cutting down on Unamount of fluid* which ar» taken Into the body and increasing the elimination of fluids. In carrying out the treatment no food I* per i mitted during the Brat 2< hours, and fluids are withheld for 36 hours. The patients are given are dium sulfate every hour for sis hours to speed up the elimination of fluids. After this treatment Is carried out. the paliont Is givun an injwt- ; lion of salt solution Into a vein, and imemdiately thereafter the patient Is allowed to drink four ounces of tea. No other fluid b given for four hours. The patient Is then encouraged to get up out of bed. This treatment is not used in a patient who has fever due to a rheumatic infection. In sciatica it is thought that the treatmen! brings relief in a different way In that the injection of the salt solution tends to shrink the nerve tissue and lower the pres sure of the fluid in'the spine Patients who have had sciatica for a long period of time seem to respond .least sati»fa<toriiy to thi» method of treatment. In view of the good results obI tained with this treatment It would appear to be worth trying, under a physicians supervision.

CHAPTER FORTY-BIX MY HAPPINESS was so Immiiw, ft either made me temporarily inaanc or brought out the latent family talent for acting in me, I don't know which. I only know thpt something took possession of me and made me act a part from that moment on, atarting with lifted eyebrows and an Ironical entile at the ataring Tonlo that broke the ailence between us. "You would!" he sneered without a trace of the prim enunciation that was one of his great charms, and with a distinctly mid-western twang Instead. "You would come hack and poke your long noae into th.s!" ' And you would snitch Neal's Irjs from the foyer console and i.uke s.lly threats over the phone in a badiy-dlsgyised voice,” I pari i h.i taunt "coolly. "Or is thia ><>. 'y twang lhe real you?" .... tyti dickered for a second. ' hi reergnized my voice?" he r.... . uncertainly. ■ .jluraily 1 did" I lied calmly. • t.iiy did you du it?” "Do what?" he snapped back, . without moving. "Kill Margot Ingalls." He laughed briefly. "You are coo). I wonder, do you think it'll save you?" "Perhaps yes. and perhaps no,” I told him conversationally. "But either way, l‘m curious. I’ve been thinking ao much of your murders I'd like to know why you killed Margot and the others, when you could have gotten the pearls—wii hout violence.” He laughed again. "That’s what YOU think. But you're wrong. I wouldn't have killed anyone if I could have avoided It, not even the Ingalls dame. All I wanted from her waa money, and a few -ilnutea alone in Neal's room. Well, I got the minutes—plenty of ’em—while «he tried to use Kennard to make me jealous. But when she found me ripping that pillow she wouldn’t let me go on and started screeching—till I had to shut her up. Woodfords was the natural consequence, of course. J couldn’t take the chance he'd suddenly blurt out he'd recognised me after all in the elevator. And Brenda—well—l knew she'd break gown and blab if ever her precious David game back. * "And so you shot her, a few hours before Neal’s opening. Posing as Mr. Armstrong and putting the gun io her hand to make it look like suicide," I reconstructed hta last murder for him. "By the way. Leighton is back. Didn’t you know?" Apparently he didn't. Neai'a exodus had deprived him of his best information. Anyway, lie stiffened perceptibly and Mid blandly: "Oh? So I wai just In time! Does he believe In her—er—suicide, or have you managed to convince your friends of the police It was murder??” "I don't know os care.” I shrugged. "But tell me. why does a Brasilian coffee king black mailend murder—women? Or ARE you a Brazilian. and a coffee Ring?" "What do you think?" be sneered “I think you’re a fake* I told him. "And I also think you’re In quite a spot. Because you really are madly in love with N«al and would hate to be caught now, when you think she's going to marry you." He stared at me out of narrowed eyes tor a very long moment "Bright gtri!’’ be said at test

You simply , aren't yet dead because you're my i future aister-ln-law." , The "something" in me made me . throw the last vestige of caution to I the winds, and I laughed out loud, i right in his face. I "Sister-in-law?” I jeered between guffaws. "Sister-in-law like fun! So you didn't know. Neal's really had you fooled by wearing ' your ring! Why—she waa married ’ to Deane late Saturday night. They're just back from a week-end honeymoon." Ho became rigid. "You're lying. It isn't true,” he said In not much mere than a whisper. "Neal 1 couldn’t throw heraelf away on 1 that braying aas. She's my kind. 1 Ruthless. Taking what she wants magnificently! Ona woman who’d 1 never grovel and go toft. You're lying. Say you’re lying!" "I'm not lying. Neal and Deane 1 were married last Saturday,” I repeated calmly. The huge satisfaction 1 felt In dealing him that blow must have > shown on my face. The blood rushed up into his. He ripped out an unprintable oath and leaped J forward, his arms raised, his 1 hands turned into long talons clawing for my throat. I I don’t think the yell I let out t for Charley Bywater would have i Mved me,.if a voice hadn’t Mid > sharply at the Mme time, from 1 somewhere back of me: "Hands i up.

Two of them had a snort strugi gle with Tonlo. It was ended by the dull thud of a blow followed i by a groan. And the groan wu s followed by the click of handcuffs, i and uniformed backs bending over . a huddle of gray clothes on the • floor. That wm all I mw. Someone put , his arm around my waist and led s me out of the room at that moI ment. I only knew It wu Hunt . when he said in a queerly choked r tone; "You fool! You (tamed brave • little idiot !

"I’m not brave,” I told him bei tween sobs and screams of mirth. "But I am a fool! I—l thought it . wfig you! Flease forgive «ne, Hunt, L but I thought it wu you for almost > a week!

closed for the season and belonging to distant cousins of his—aware that the cntire'police force ot New York wouldn't be able to protect I me from the press once the facts of the case were made public. He'd also vetoed visitors, afraid they’d be trailed by reporters. And so I had spent the week alone. But not exactly lonely and certainly not uninformed, seeing he hadn’t objected to telephone evils and I read every paper that mentioned our murders. Which meant every single sheet published in the metropolitan area and ail the more important ones throughout the country. The three murders — Brenda, thank heaven, was no longer called a suicide—had made stich a sensation they'd almost crowded out the war news. And 1, for no good reason I could see, had been their heroine. My picture stared at me from every front ptge, snd the stories that accompanied it called me a female Sherlock Holmes at the least, and hinted broadly that a great sleuthing talent like mine deserved professional recognition. AU of which made me feel extremely foolish. And was my face red when another article, under Hunt's picture, extolled his "scifsaenheing courage’* in doing hie country two important services concurrently by "lending his extraordinary brain to the New York police to help solve three baffling murders, and his body to the Army Medical Corps for the test of a new malaria cure.” So that had been behind hta mys- > terious trips! I should have known it! Should hade remembered he'd said, the day we met in Elmpaint, that he'd offered himself to the government as a guinea pig for the cure! Especially when he'd spoken of a “second job” and assured me Margot's murder had happened at a most inconvenient time- for him. No wonder he'd fallen asleep on our drive home. And no wonder he'd been quiet and a little grouchy the night of Ne<» opening. Most likely he'd felt a wreck . . . any other man would have been flat on hta back. That's what he'd meant with the "shot of adrenalin" he’d mentioned to Dr. Rosen. The excitement of Brenda's murder had made the ductless gland that produced the stuff work overtime, and the greater supply of it had made him feel better, temporarily. Anyway, that's how I figured it in my medical ignorance. I was so ashamed of myself I tried to get Hunt on the phone to apologize some more. But his number didn’t answer, and later the same day Claire rang up and told j me, among other things, that Hunt I had been in the office to My he was going to Washington again—for more of what he'd been getting. Some "shot” or something—and would like to week-end at my hiding place on hta way back. Incidentally, the fruitless cal! to Hunt was the only one I made in the whole week. AU the others were made to me. Claire kept in constant touch, for business and personal reasons. Dita rang up daily, to say pbe felt fine and,WM basking in the reflected glory of my "heroism." Leighton called to tell me he waa flying straight back to from where he'd come, and would never forget the kindness I’d shown his pear wife during her last days. Inspector Barry inquired U I was all right or needed police protection. (To Be vMttaued?
