Surgical Removal of Heel Spurs and Ingrowth Toenails

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. BECAUSE painful feet produce so much dfaromfort and disability, ft may be said that from the point of view of the patient Iber. are no minor disorders of th«ie extremi tier So far as the doctor is concerned, lowr ♦er. there are many which are eenddered minor. Thm la not due to heartlessness on the part of the medical profession but merely b<cause such conditions are easily corrected by simple suiglcal operation. Ingrown Toenails One of these conditions is In grown toenail. The most common causes of the development of In frown toenails are cutting the child's toenails too short, and the wearing of shoes and stockings Which fit too tightly. It Is not unusual for the skin I around an ingrown toenail to be ! come Infected. According to Dr*. Alec Singer and Archie M. A. Moore of England, when such In taction Is present it may be cleared up by carefully trimming off the infected nail and using a dressing of a sulfonamide ointment. A bit of cotton dip)»ed in the G*atment may be packed in and around the infected area, ltrs Singer and Moore point out that the services t» an experieaged chiropodist are extremely yaiu able, in such eases. In some eaaee. In order to clear Up the condition, it may be neces sary partially to remove th*- as fectwi nail, along with any esces sire scar tissue which may have formed This is enrrted out by s physician since it is accessary usually to pet the patient tc sleep wjfß an auerthmte If then is no infection of an ingrown nail, a

or see eye-eye to' him on Irnpor- ' tant questions, but somehow the I country learned tn respect him tor bls sincerity. The Indianapolis *• Star, com hiding Its editorial on I him remarks. "As a leader In u critical period of our* and world * history, he should and Mime day I probably will, get credit for much that did not happen, due to his > balance and foresight". Anyway. 1 ' he didn’t live in vain. . I —(J -Q — • Plans have Ix-'-ti launched to , j build a ch.iin-of lakes In Noble and , I adjoining counties, embracing 2.- ’• 7M acres and including seven lakes, which are all connected > by a river. If the land is purchased I and turned over to the slate conservation department, the latter will develop) the project. We don't hegrude the good fortune of the counties affected, but keep wondering why Adams, Jay and Wells counties don't work out a similar plan, covering the Limbcrloxt territory at the south edge of this I county, and have the state construct a lake in that area. o o— — Vacation costs this year arc at I fantastically high levels. Seashore! I and lakeside cottages which rented for |s«o before the war now bring SLIM a season. Inns have I lifted their weekly rates, American 1 plan, from fits to >63. and day rates I In many hotels are up from to | 120. Cost- of overnight lodgings at tourist homes, of bicycle, boat and golf rentals, and foist sold atong the high ways are all skyrocketing in price The amazing thing Is that people pay these prices. They are going on vacations, whatever the cost Some folks will j find It cheaper, though, and just | as comfortable to stay at home. ——o-- o A nine man site surveying com mission is at work to settle th< United Nations headquarters location. It Is estimated that accommo- ! dutions will lie needed for ten j IbowsanA persons, or about three . thousand families. The aiea required will he between two and ten square miles, with a “buffer ' state'* section to allow for possible future expansion. Meanwhile : the originally proposed Greenwich- | Stamford district finds its citizenry divided over the possibility of the t’N coming there, with groups like the ehamlier of commerce. retail merchants ministers and American la-glon favorable, while property owners who might lie forced to move, are opposed. Civic leaders in many other parts of the United States, such ax San Francisco, are bidding for calaI hll-liment of the UN site.

more extensive oiwratlon can be performed to set rid completely of the Ingrown nail. Tissue Growth Another condition which may develop is the growth of hard tinsite be neat li lhe null. The prewHtite of the «hoe !hi*ii pnntam puin Thi-t disorder seem* to develop also beesune of preiosure of the shoes on the feet. In many instances, infection also occur* in this disorder, and here, too. the Infection must he cleared tip hefnre an operation can Ite performed to grt rid of the xrowth. A bony outgrowth may occur on the heel. This is known ax a spur Sometimes such spurs are painful. The pein I* bronght on by the pressure of walking or in some cases because the spur is broken. The patient complain. of a pafnfnl tender area on the heel Sometimes these spurs can be treated without operation. It is ftiiggcMted that a pit be made in the heel of the shoe on the inside and a rubber pad he put Into Gils pit. The patient will then be walkin* on a soft ruhlter cushion and this may relieve the symptoms. Another method of treatment Is to inject a solution of a local anesthetic or pain deadening preparation around the area and Item allow the patient to wear the shoe with the rubiter pad. If (hew methods te'l to relieve the condition, it la -mtsested that operation be performed and lhe spur eMselM sway. For such dlaorders as corns ahd calluses the services of a chiropodist are useful, tn the serious foot disorders, a physician should be cotmlted fMceratag the best term of treatment.

Ferguson said. Mead stressed that May had not been "required to explain these references by war department officials" when he testified In secret June 4. He reminded the house military affairs chairman that his statement had "dealt primarily” with the handling of the affairs of the Cumberland I umber Co., "paper empire" subsidiary. Dr. Henry Garsson, assorted “close friend” of May. and key figure in the munitions empire, it listed as president of the Cumberland company, for which May served as process agent in Kentucky. May has admitted this connection but steadfastly denied that he profited by so much as a penny from the venture. The committee recalled war department attorney Albert W. Jacobson as a witness today.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR ELAINE looked at him dully and asked in the plaintive whine of a child: “Did you hit me7** The tip of her chtn, magenta and swollen, was more of a reproach than her words and he shifted unhappily from one foot to the other, mumbled “I had to” and looked down at the floor. The steam pipe was rattling and Elaine had probably not heard his low mumble, for her hurt chin tipped up toward her mother-in-law. “Why did he hit me?" Dr. Peck whispered: "She doesn’t remember a thing. Whatever happened, you knocked it clean out of her head.** He stepped around to the back of the chair and delicately prodded the vertebrae at the base of her skull. "Try to turn, please. Easy now. Docs that hurt?” She whimpered. “My head •ches. I’ve a terrible headache.” The dead ash-gray skin had turned saffron. Wet strings of hair plastered her foretiead. Her nose looked peaked, sharp. Her mother-in-law mopped the matted fur coat with a wad of brown paper. Then with the flat of her hand, she brushed back the damp hair, smoothing it tenderly, ae if by trying to make the poor girl look almost human she could make her feel better. A gawking gallery of females lined the walls, sat in the basins. Mrs. Taylor s baby had awakened and she held him over her shoulder, Stroking his tack to soothe him am* keep him from crying. The gin from Virginia leaned on the mirror door, her eyes on Elaine, big with fear. Was she seeing herself, Corbett wondered, herself in the future? There were one or two new ones, ghouls who had wandered u>, no doubt, on personal business, and had stayed to lap up the details of another's misfortune. They xept staring at him. Dr. Peck asked: “Who has • match?” Corbett took out his lighter. “Good.” Dr. Peck flipped It □pen. "Now look straight at thia," he commanded Elaine. “Into the flame.” She blinked. He peered into her eyes, said: “Good," again, and “Now get up. Let's see now you walk.” Her mother-in-law steadied her arm, helping her up. Elaine took a few mincing steps, made doubly difficult by the sway of the train. The doctor asked anxiously: "How ia it? Feel dizzy?” t "Just tired.” ' ‘ “We'll let you rest Suppose all you clear out Leave her alone. Her mother can stay, ru heep ncr company a while.” loUChed Ule ann <* «»• two girls in slacks.

Ah bettuh not smoke.” The red-head drew In, let out the smoke very slowly. She said: "She looks awful,” "She does." "She’ll be all right?” “1 guess so. No bones are broken." "What did he do that for—with your lighter?” .. "Concussion. Possible brain injury. See how her eyes focus.” The girl glanced at the wings on his sleeve. "How do you know all those things?

You rate a pleasant furlough.” He let his cigarct burn at his side for a moment or two, while they stood, all three, rocking with the train. Finally, be took a deep puff, dropped the butt, said, "That woman's husband was killed. On the Aiudo beachhead." "Oh, no!" Mae clapped her hand over her mouth. She looked white and stricken. Tears gushed into her eyea. After a wait, he said: “Go In and see how she la.” They went tn and came out in a minute. "She's sleeping. She’s asleep on the couch. Her mother’s there with her." “Her mother-in-law," Corbett said. “A soldier's mother. A dead soldier’s mother." He held the door and they went into the coach. Betty Taylor had come back to her chair with her baby. £he whispered: "la she all right?” “She’s steeping," J . . , “That’s good." He tried to crawl over the knees. Kalchis jerked back Ms logs. "Where you been all this time?” His voice • haj 'P •uspicion. “What's goin' on?” Corbett stretched his legs to the foolrail of the chairs in front. His muscles ached.
