Penicillin Used in Treat ing Osteomyelitis

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. OSTEOMYELITIS or Infection of the bone has always been notoriously stubborn and difficult to treat Children afflicted in thia way were particularly to be pitied Many a little victim ha*, in the past, spent as much as a year In the hoaj ital without bring com pletely healed even after numerous. painful operations Ail too frequently. the slow fire of the l:if'-< tioji destroyed so much bone that the child was condemned to limp through life with one leg shorter than the other Today, penicillin and other gertnfighfing drugs have revolutionized the treatment of this dread disorder, making healing speedier and much more sure In the plan of treatment used at the .Mayo Clinic by Hr. Frederick M Graham and his co-workers. the main attack on the disease is still surgical and involves cutting away of the infected bone, but the use of penicillin and other drugs has made all the difference In the success of the operation and the rate of heal ing. Penicillin la given for from three to seven days before lire operation in some cases sulfathiaxole is also given and other measures used to build up the patient These include ltd injection of whole blood into a vein if the patient is suffering from anemia After the infested bone is cut away, the arm is washed with a solution of penicillin in most tn Mgatss. tbs wctuid u cleaed at *b* ua* es operation though wae

CHAPTER NINETEEN LYNN nodded thougntfully when aunt Kathie spoke ot her concern for Lionel Cloadte health. The change in ner undo had not escaped her notice, nor his curious alternation of moods. She suspected that he occasionally had recourse to drugs to stimulate himself. and she wondered whether he were not to a certain extent an addict. It would account for his extreme nervous irritability. She wondered how much Aunt Kathie knew or guessed. Aunt Kathie. thought Lynn, was not such a fool as she looked. Going on down High St., Lynn caught a glimpse of her Uncle Jeremy letting himself into his front door. He looked, Lynn thought, very much older just in these last few weeka. She quickened her pace. She wanted to get out ot Warmsley Vale, up onto the hills and open spaces. Setting out at a brisk pace she soon felt better. She would go for a good tramp ot six or seven miles — and really think things out. Always, ail her life, she had been a resolute clear headed person. She had known what she wanted and what she didn't want. Never, until now, had she been content juai to drift along. Yes that was just what it was' Drifting along! An aimless formless method of living. Ever since she had come out of the Service. A wave of nostalgia swept over her for those war days Days when duties were clearly defined, when life was planned and orderly —when the weight ot individual decisions had been lifted from her. But even as she formulated the idea, she was horrified at herself. Was that really and truly what people were secretly feeling everywhere? Was that what, ultimately, war did to you? It was not the physical dangers—the mines at sea. the bomba from the air, the crisp ping of a rifle bullet as you drove over a desert track. No. it was the spiritual danger of learning how much easier life was if you ceased to think. . . . She, Lynn Marchmont, was no longer the clearheaded resolute intelligent girl who had joined up. Her Intelligence had been specialized, directed in well-defined channels. Now, mistress of herself and her life once more, she was appalled at the disinclination of her mind to seize and grapple with her own personal problems. With a sudden wry smile. Lynn thought to herself: Odd if it's really that newspaper character “the housewife' who has come into her own through war conditions The women who. hindered by innumerable "shall note," were not helped by any definite "shalls." Women who had to plan and think and improvise, who had to use every inch of the ingenuity they had been given, and to develop an Ingenuity that they didn’t know they had got! They alone, thought Lynn now. could stand upright without a crutch, responsible far themselves aad others And sh_*. Lyra wall • * •

"Our class is giving a dance next Friday night. Jim Would you like to go with me?" Q What is the correct salutation ;, when writing a letter to a priest? A "Dear Reverend Father."

clever, navmg done a job mat needed brains and close application, was now rudderless, devoid of resolution,—yes, hateful word: drifting. . . . The people who had stayed at home, Howley, for instance— But at once Lynn's mind dropped from vague generalities to the immediately personal Herself and Rowley. That was the problem, the real problem—the only problem. Did she really want to marry Rowley? Slowly the shadows lengthened to twilight and dusk. Lynn sat motionless, her chin cupped in her hands on the outskirts ot a small copse on the hillside, looking down over the valley. She had lost count of time, but she knew that she was strangely reluctant to go home to the White House Below her, away to the left, was Ixing Willowa Long Willows, her home if she married Rowley. If! It came back to that—if—-if-lf! A bird flew out of the wood with a startled cry like the cry of an angry child. A billow of smoke from a train went eddying up In the sky forming as it did so a giant question mark. : ?? ? Shall I marry Rowley? Do I i want to marry Rowley? Did I ever want to marry Rowley? ' Could 1 bear not to marry Row- ’ ley? The train puffed away up the valley, the smoke quivered and 1 dispersed. But the question mark - did not fade from Lynn's mind. She had loved Rowley before 1 she went away. "But I've come • home changed," she thought “I'm ! not the same Lynn." A line of poetry floated into her 1 mind. “Life and the world and mine ' own self are changed. . . ." And Rowley? Rowley hadn't • changed. Yes. that was it Rowley hadn't ' changed. Rowley was where she • had left him four years ago. Did she want to marry Rowley? 1 If not. what did she want? Twigs cracked in the copse be ’ hind her and a man’s voice cursed : as he pushed his way through. She cried out "David!" "Lynn!" He looked amazed as he came crashing through the un- ’ dergrowth. “What in the name of fortune are you doing here?" He had been running and was 1 slightly out of breath. "I don't know. Just thinking—i sitting and thinking." She laughed i uncertainly. "I suppose—it's get- • ting very late." “Haven't you any Idea ot the time?" I She looked down vaguely at her ' wrist watch. “It's stopped again. I disorganize watches." "More than watches!" David said. “It's the electricity in you The vitality. The life." He came up to her. and vaguely disturbed, she rose quickly to her feet. “It's getting quite dark. I must hurry boqsa. What Uas IS it. David?" _

But 1 must catch this train. Rosaleen s alone tn the flat—and ahe gets the jitters if she's alone at night tn London." "In a service fiat ?*' Lynn's voice was scornful David said sharply: "Fear isn’t logical. When you’ve suffered from blast—" Lynn was suddenly ashamed — contrite. She said: "I'm sorry. I'd forgotten." With sudden bitterness David cned out: "Yes, it's soon forgotten—all of ( it Back to safety! Back to tameness! Back to where we were when < the whole bloody show started! Creep into our rotten little holes and play safe vgaln. You. too, I Lynn—you're just the same as the rest of them!" She cned: 'Tm not Tm not David. 1 was just thinkingnow—" I “Os me?" His quickness startled her. His arm was round her, holding him to her. He .ussed her with bot angry lips. "Rowley Cloade ?" he said, 'That oaf? By God, Lynn, you belong to me." Then as suddenly as he had taken her. he released her. almost I thrusting her away from him. 'T'U miss the train.” He ran headlong down the hillt side. I “David . . .■ He turned his head, calling back: “I'll ring you when 1 get to Ix>ndon. . . ." She watched him running through the gathering gloom, light and athletic and full of natural grace. Then, shaken, her heart strangely stirred, her mind chaotic, she walked slowly homeward. She hesitated a little before going on. She shrank from her mother’s affectionate welcome, her questions—- ' Her mother who had borrowed five hundred pounds from people whom she despised. "We've no right to despise Rosaleen and David." thought Lynn I as she went very softly upstairs "We’re just the same. We'd do anything—anything tor money." She stood in her bedroom, looking curiously at her face tn the mirror. It was. she thought, the face of a stranger. . . . And then, sharply, anger shook her. “If Rowley really loved me," ahe thought, "he'd have got that five hundred pounds for me somehow. He would—he would He wouldn't let me be humiliated by having to take it from David—David. . . ." David had said be would ring her when he got to London. She went downstairs, walking tn a dream . . .
