A Curvature of the Spine

•y Herman N. Bundeaen M. 0., Scoliosis, nr curvature of the spine, may he no mild an to pass nnnoticed. or ho severe as to distort the entire body. A slight bending of the spine to one ride or the other may result from poor posture during the formative yearn of early childhood. Thin la one of the many reasons why good habits of sitting and standing are so important. Where the curve is marked, dis•aae or faulty development is usually responsible. Under these heading* we think of such things as malformation of the rib. spine, or hip bone*, unusual weakness of the muscles supporting the spine, and such disorders as rickets or infantile paralysis Even with all these possibilities to draw on. however it is impossible to find the cause in eight out of ten cases. Often enough, mild cases go undiscovered until after the child starts to school since frequently there are no symptoms at the start Even a slight curvature will place undue strain on the joints of the spine and the muscles of the bark which will eventually cause pain, easy fatigue, and other discomforts Unfortunately, up to the present time, no Ideal treatment for scoliosis has been found The alm of the treatment is. of course to correct the deformity and to keep it corrected The treatment depend* upon the

own naed and th* requirements of mankid. To act otherwiae would be to fail the world at its time of . greatest need and peril. o o— A great deal has been said and written about international law, but it is meaningless without international organisation and force. One of the needs for the United Nations is to give force to international law. H cannot do so unless we first give both moral strength and physical authority to the United Nations. o O-— A candidate who won office by promising to work for Its abolition is something out of the common. Such a candidate was Mrs. Dorothy McCullough Lee, the new mayor of Portland. Ore. She favors the city manager form of government, and promises to appoint a citizens charter committee which will submit this type of administration to popular vote, perhaps at the general election in November. o o— — The gardener, breaking his back at his weeding job, seldom stops to think that most of the plants he is cultivating so carefully had similar origin to that of the weeds he is trying to destroy. The delicious vegetable* and the prized flowers once grew wild and many probably were cursed as weeds. Cross-breeding and husbandry have produced the big round tomato from puny-frulted specimen* found on the Jungle edges of South America. On this continent the potato found it* first habitat. Domesticated com is so old that most authorities only guess that it started somewhere in the Andes. In Bible times there was wild mustard from which today's important condiment Is derived. Mankind has been trying to tame itself for untold centuries. The Moat Rev. John F. Noll, D. I)., bishop of Fort Wayne, this week observed the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The prelate’s golden juhlilee as priest and bishop has occasioned the members of his diocese to mark the happy occasion in various ways, notably of which was the special 56-page edition of Our Sunday Visitor, published at Huntington. which was founded by Bishop Nihil. This weekly newspaper has a circulation of more than a half million copies In Catholic homes throughout the country. Outstanding as a spiritual leader and a student of theology. Bishop Noll is nationally recognized In the religious publication field, a civic leader and builder of chapels, churches and seminaries within the diocese he so ably administers. Friend* in all walk of life extend greetings to the famed churchman.

severity of the disorder, whether the spine is still movable or fixed. and whether arthritis of the joints of the spine has developed. The first step in the treatment is to make the spine freely movable and develop the strength of the muscles Thia is brought about by exercises and manipulation. The exercises should not be limited to the muscles of the hack alone, but also to the nips and abdomen. Os course, when a known cause for the disorder Is present and i* still active, such as rickets, it should be treated, if the leg lengths are unequal, this also should bo corrected. I When the maximum amount of movement of the spine is obtained. i a plaster jacket is usually applied. While the patient is in the plaster jacket, the exercises should be coni tinned When the wearing of the jacket has corrected the deformity. i an operation to fix the bones of the spine to necessary to maintain the correction. Os course, scoliosis should be treated only by aa orthopedic specialist. a physician who has made a special study of disorders of the bones QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS V.
