Similar Symptoms Make Doctor's Job Difficult

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D NOWHERE, not even at a twins'j convention. are there more "look allkes" than in the world of medicine. One disease can imitate anther ao perfectly as to "fool the experts." unless a very thorough I examination is made. One of these traditional '■foolers" Is a bowel disorder due to what are known as diverticula, which can, on occasion, duplicate either the symptoms of gallstnes or those of stomach ulcer. Sometimes the walls of the first part of the bowel known as the duodenum become weakened and. as a result, a little* out-pouching occurs. such as may develop In a weak spot in an automobile tire. These out-pou«-hings are called diverticula. Such diverticula ntav be present without causing symiptoms. However. in most cases, f.hey do cause trouble, and. as I said earlier, the symptoms may be mu«-h like those or other digestive disorders These symptoms consist of pain and tenderness in the abdomen, sickness at the atomac-h. and diarrhea. The pain may be in the right lower part of the abdomen It may pass to the back or at -time* into the right shoulder Th« pain is apparently made worse hy eating In some cases, nausea or sk kness st the stomach may atjrompany the pain or may occur at other Jime« Now and then, th* diverticula press on the bile duct which emp ties Into the intestine and. as a consequence, the flow of bile to blocked rei’ilttn* in jaundice or a greenish ypUowuh disco Im'S Hon of ths sktn. so suggsative of galk

this issue of the paper We join In saying. "Well done” and good luck to the young women and . young men who now enter the j business world or continue their scholastic training at college or university. ’ i ‘ (I - o I State Auditor Burch probably won't be nominated by the Repub- ' lit ans for governor, but he is doing a real service for the taxpayers by withholding payment of salaries > to five state legislators who hold other state jobs. These salary hold-backs, total more- than fSO.OOO and Auditor Burch is not going to the dual-legislators and office bold- ' ers until the Supreme court rules on the matter. The five Republican legislators, lawfully elected, claimed that they resigned from 'he general assembly and then accepted the higher salaried jobs in the state bouse. ' o o A statistician for the .Metropol! tan Life Insurance Company, conjectures that the famous Dionne quintuplets, who will be li on May 28. will live to be 65 years or older. The <ham es are about 97 in 10(1 that all five girls will reach marriageable age, three to five that they will live to be 50, and more than one in five that they will all celebrate their 65th anniversary. "The special < are they receive enhances their chances of long life" commented tile statis li> ian. Til. world hopes tin- life expectancy guess becomes an actual fa< t or is even extended for the Uionm- girls. o o Truman Backs U. N.: "There is room enough for (everybody in this world, and rnom : enough for everyone to have ; peace We are going to make the United Nations work for peace. I though the road may look rough rugged and rocky. This country . ims overcome many difficulties We can't let this one stop us." The words were those of the i President, speaking before social workers attending a national con ferem-e on family life in Washington. Mr Truman adder! that he hoped the coming election contest would in no way hamper this country's bi-partisan policy, which Is . working for world peace. Every citizen of the United States and of every other country, worthy of his human heritage, will rejoice at such positive statements of a (peace objective. This sort of doctrine is much greater strength against war than anti Russian hysteria and tlie sabre-rattling of militarists. The United Nations organization needs the backing of this country.

/ stones. In themselves, these symptoms are not typical of the disease, and hence, a decisive diagnosis can not be made on the symptoms alone. In order to make a definite diagnosis of the diverticula. X-ray examination Is required. The X-ray examination should include the entire gastro-intestinal tract and especially the gallbladder. Once the diverticula have been discovered In the X-ray plate, the doctor will decide whether or not they are responsible for the trouble because, as I have stated, not all diverticula cause symptoms. When the diagnosis is certain, and it has been determined that the diverticula are responsible for the symptoms, an operation for their removal is sometimes advised. Where the patient is in such poor condition that an operation cannot be carried out. medical measures, such as the use of a bland diet, the giving of mineral oil. and lying on the side after meals, are carried out. The bland diet Is one which contains no highly seasoned or bulky foods. Diverticulitis is usually got a serious disorder, but when diagnosed It should receive prompt treatment along accepted lines QUESTION SAND ANSWERS B C.: If a large lump appeared in the breast during pregnancy- and in a few months disappeared after nursing, what would he the reason? Answer: The swelling might be du« to a cyst or powtbly to a Stocked atlk duet The totter is the most probable cause.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE GIBSON went into the house with the baggage and he. too, flung Tracy and Mike a puzzled glance. Then suddenly all three of them were silent. There was something about going m’o the house that made them hesitate. Kit j thought. wonderi r g. Every ing ; that had happened in the past few ' minutes nude her wonder—Hike's reference to her wedding dress, Tracy’s tanned, happy face and the extra baggage Gibson had taken in. And she felt as if Mike and Tracy were laughing at her. Tracy's face lost none of its happiness though suddenly it was , serious. "I finished the sweater. Kit. All by myself I finished the i i sweater. Now don’t tell me you . finished yours." "No, 1 haven't." "I won." "Unfair competition," Mike said. "We’ll tr.ke it to the government." Then he said, "There's a September nip in the air and I’m not going to stand out here ano the: sec- . ond. Tracy, don't you think you i should carry me over the thresh- ' old? After all, it's your house..." Tracy laughed. She looked at Mike and then she turned to Kit and took her by the shoulders. "This isn't the time to play games with you, Kit. 1 suppose ' we feel ridiculous and . . . yes. a little self-conackns. Mike and I were married yesterday, darling «e Kite mouth formed the word I “married" but she did not utter it. She couldn’t . . . Mike asked. “Am I to get a cold on my honeymoon while you II explain our love life to Kit ? After ail. It's my house, too, now . . ." He picked up Tracy and carried her in. Still holding her, he said, "Gibson has put my baggage in ’ the hall. It's probably the worst looking baggage that has ever come into this house. You’re a featherweight, darling When you i forget that I'm the master of this , here domicile, I'll pick you up un- . der my arm and carry you off to the punlahmen- comer." When he I put her down, he kept her arm II through his. "Kit doesn't know ’ what to make of thia, Tracy She's I j speechless Uta tell her we're not crazy at all." Tracy pulled off her hat and her hair fell loosely about her face. 1 "Suppose you come up to my room. ■ Kit, while I make myself presentI able. We've had a long drive.” Tb Mike she said. This is a conversation for girts only." Mike grinned. “Okay. Til hunt I up Mac and tell her who la tows I now and Gibson where my old bag- . gage really belongs."

I get used to the- idea." Tracy sat on the chaise longue and pushed her hair away from her face. Her hand was steady, "it is a wonderful idea, KIL It's the best idea I've ever had. We shouldn’t have kept you in suspense. We shouldn't have joked just now when we came home. But there are times you put up a shield of laughter when you really want to cry. Kit, I'm sorry for the anxiety Tve caused you.” "I just wanted to know that you were ail right I couldn't leave without knowing.”

Tracy shook her head slowly. ] "Why didn't I know that this was | right for me? When 1 left, I in- ; tended to do what I told you I i was going to Co—make a big fire and go out with it But on the way to New York I l.new 1 didn't ’ have the slightest desire to do 1 that I knew I wanted to live, ', that I'd fight to live.

wedding ureas, incy weren't to me. That's one of the differences between us, Kit. You see, Mike and I talked tills over. He was afraid of my money but It’s going to buy nothing for Mike except leisure to write. We'U stay here all through the winter. This is going to be home sweet home." She passed her right hand over her left on which there was a new, plain circle of gold. “And we're going to adopt two children since I can’t have any of my own. Mike's the boss. We want to be a family. I told him to beat me if ever I got out of hand." Tracy's lovely voice was lovelle* than ever. Relaxed, she lay back against the pillows. "Perhaps this doesn’t seem very romantic to you. Kit. But I think that Mike and

I are beginning our marriage as if we'd been married rather a long time. The flush of romance vanishes—you may not believe it now but it does—but something ."Jicr takes its place, something deeply engrained after two people have been living together for a long time. Mike and I haven't many illusions. But I know we’re going to make a highly satisfactory life without them. I think l*m a realist at last. It's the moot divinely comfortable feeling." She shrugged, her old familiar shrug That’s all, darling. And now Mrs. Michael Saunders is going to do something about her dirty face. No, wait When is Kirk coming for you? Funny, it’s all gone, that longing and attraction that was eating at me all summer. Seems stupid now, the way 1 used to stay awake at night, smoking, thinking about him while to him - was just a girt who had been his neighbor. I'm so glad I didn’t make a complete fool of myself and tell him." Kit tried to make her voice quiet but she couldn’t help the words rushing out "He's coming for mi tomorrow." She leaned forward, her eyes warm with excitement "I've been almost afraid to be happy about him, Tracy. Now X can say a decent good bye to you.” “I've acted pretty rotten. I'm sorry. You are going to say a decent good-bye but only a temporary good-bye." Tracy stood up. ' Kit you’re the personification of the word friend.' Friends never go out of your life and stay out They pop up at the most unexpected times and you feel that they've never been away. Mike said that I won't pretend that it's original.” She smiled as she went toward the dressing table. "We should be very sentimental but really, my face is dreadfully dirty, darling, and 1 .know that Mike wants a cocktail and that he d like a chat with you. Make him ten you that 1 proposed to him . . r Kit dosed tbs door upon Tracy a light laughter. (To Bp Ceydod)
