What Is The Worst Type Pain?

•y Merman N. Bundessn, M. D. If doctors were asked to identify the world's worst pain, they would probably agree in naming that of tlr douloureau or trigeminal neuralpt*. Women are its chief victims, being affected about twice as often as men. and any who have ever experienced it declare it to be far worse than the pain of childbirth. This type of neuralgia -* a word which simply means pain along the <our»e of a nerve affects a nerve in the fare. It is a disease of late middle or early old age, the majority of patients being In 1 heir 60's, with few or none affected before the age of iff. The acuta pain comes on in attack* which usually affect only one side of the face While the severe pain lasts only a few seconds, it mar occur against a background of continuous dull pain of several days’ duration There are many different things which can set off an attack These include women s old enemy emotional upsets —as well as exposure to cold winds, any movement of the face, such as that involved In eating or speaking, and any manipulation of facia! muscles like that which goes along with washing the face or rubbing it with the fingers. Vsually when the attacks first appear they may occur only at monthly intervals, or even more In frequently. But as time passes, the period of freedom from the pain becomes shorter and the series of attacks last." longer, until finally pain may be almost continuous Worse than the worst toothache the pain remains always in the same place, no tendency to pass into the other aid* of the

tlve, prosperous community, and if unemployment has been checked. the months ahead should bring further improvement In local conditions. Huntington I* going to have parking meters, the council voting to install 300 machines along the city's streets. Previously, a straw vote taken on the question, showed sentiment against the meters, but a majority of the councilman probably thought the contest was rigged, and decided otherwise. o o Senator Brewster, the Maine Republican, says the country is in a depression and advocates that his fellow senate members vote 350.000.0tt0 for public works It must not be a very serious state of affairs, for 50 million dollars, wouldn't cure much unemployment In fact this city and county could use almost that much money for highway and street improvements. proposed sewers, -•wage treatment, water softening and electric plants.

It will take a certain amount of personal sacrifice to accomplish this goal, but "Hill" Is one man who believes In "Service Above Self.”

face or down into the neck. Many forms of treatment for this disorder have been tried oat. but only two seem to he of any great value. Drugs do not seem to be effective against this severe type of pain. The two forms of treatment which seem to be effective are an operation for cutting the nerve root, and injections of alcohol into a nerve or into a nerve root. The alcohol injection is given to destroy the division of the nerve which is producing the painful attacks Because of the difficulty in injecting these various branches, ft seems more satisfactory to Inject the alcohol Into the nerve root Os course, this form of treatment must be carried out by an expert who can make sure that the injection is being made into the proper area. This method of treatment is much more simple than the operative treatment. The nerve root la cut to destroy the part of the nerve causing the painful attack*. It is not difficult to make a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia. Sime this disorder Is so painful. It requires proper treatment That is why the doctor gives consideration to the alcohol injections for producing permanent relief. Questions and Answers K. H.: What causes pain In the heels? Answer: The three main causes of painful heel are tjeny growths, lata tion or injury of a bursa which is a sac containing fluid, and a callous formation.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT BEATRICE looked at the telephone. Why wouldn't it ring? Why wouldn't it ring, and when ■he picked it up it would be Porter's voice washing away her despair? The penaive face of Bonnie Watson with its undertones of tragedy rose up before her. Be fair, Beatrice thought If you are the angry wife slashed by jealousy you will have no reason, no dignity, no hope to win a victory in your marriage. I don't want weapons. 1 don't want to stand on my record, whatever’ it to. I don't want to be remembered for the entertaining I have done for his friends, for the good house I keep, for the quality of food and drink that is served here, or even that I am the mother of his child. 1 simply want to be the woman he wants moro than any woman tn the world. And all of these things that su "round us are only meaningless possessions—shackles —unless Porter and I feel that we have voluntarily selected each other. Anything less than that would I* a bitter, intolerable compromise that would make emotional cripples of both of us, and Marianne would grow up in a fog of uncertainty between mountains in ruin. Excitement ran through her nerves as the telephone rang. She let it nng several times as she stared at it with a hope so profound it was akin to prayer. ‘•Hello, M Beatrice said finally. -This is Libby, Bee." -Oh. How are you!" “Swell." Übby said. -1 am.

I mean I'm not doing anything to >nake him fall in love with ma I Lied so hard before, and failed so wretchedly." She toughed again. "We don't do anything. We take a walk, and sit by the lake, and say how nice it would bo if there were some fish in it to catch, and one afternoon ho fell aaloep in the living room.” “You don't have to try." "I'm not I OM’t. it's funny, but it's just as though we had just met and there hadn't been any of that other terrible business. I've sold everything in the apartment and arranged for Bessie's income.

That's all there to to say now—that David found me, and It's like a shelter that has depth and warmth. I was so odd, so isolated from feeling and didn't know it. My feelings are on the surface, and maybe I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve, but I'd rather feel and give and believe even if I don't make the grade wtth him. But 1 am loving, Bee, loving him and nut denying it to myself any more." "You know how 1 wish all good things for you, Übby." “The best to to come. I believe that sincerely because no matter whr.t ft is, 1 can take it and live with it 1 can even be lonely." She paused a moment and then she said, "Maybe I should have written you a letter instead of talking your ear off when you probably have a thousand things to do today." "Nothing more important than to learn that David found you." "Thanks, darling. Good-bye for now." "Good-bye, Übby." And that to how it to, Beatrice thought. She felt like laughing and crying at once She could not tell Übby how much she had sounded like Clara, her mother, today, and that for her—for Beatrice—the sound of Clara's voice would always be the sound of love. And it was to that that David was going, that was making him ride miles by bus te take a walk, and to ait by a lake, and to fall asleep in that living room tn which everything had been mellowed by good living. He would not recognise it at ones probably. He wouldn't know what it waa exactly that compelled him toward a woman for whoa so recently he

By United Press Airplanes loaded with poison luunba struck out again today at hordes of young grasshoppers threatening to wipe out a large share of the nation's corn and wheat crops while rains swept toward New York, promising an end to a record drought. An armada of 26 planes, most of them flown by ex-combat pilots, dropped bran laced with the chemical 2,4-D on thousands of acres of Wyoming fields. They hope to kill tho young Insects before they sprout wings and invade the rich field of the Dakotas, Nebraska, lowa and Kansas. Rome of the fields in the 1.000.-000-acre area set for the bombings contain as many as 1.500 'hoppers per square yard — (he highest concentration ever recorded. Farmers battled Insects on two other fronts. In South Dakota there was a “,-reen bug” plague. In Mississippi, crop experts feared : the boll weevil might be ready to i sweep through the cotton crop. The South Dakotans said they would welcome a little of New York's dry weather. They believed lack of moisture would halt development of the bugs. The predicted showers would end New York's drought at its 22nd day. The longest previous MayJune drought on record lasted 17 day. That was in 1887. New York farm agents said that unless heavy rains arrived soon, the state's multi-mlllion dollar fruit and vegetable crop would be I burned up. The dry speii also posed a threat of forest fires. There have been 33 in the Adirondack mountains In the last five days. Water for sprinkling lawns was rationed. While moisture conditions elsewhere were not critical the Northern Pacific railroad's agriculture

had felt a mixture of pity and disgust, that had sent him away determined not to see her again, and convinced as only a man can be that ho had been wasting his time. Doubtless boredom and loneliness had made him search for Übby In a city In which he did not know many people and he had probably been curious to discover the reason for her change of addreea. In any event ha had found her, and there was no reason for him to go to a great deal of Inconvenience to see her again unless ho had wanted almost profoundly to do so. And when some weeks hence the first of April came, David would find that he had drifted into a relationship so surprisingly dear to him that ho would want it enhanced and enriched by marriage. For a few minutes Bestrice let herself be enveloped in the warm refuge of dreaming that for which she fervently hoped for both of them, her dearest friends. Cecily had been wrong, she thought, when she had sold that she. Beatrice, and David complemented each other. It was rather David and Übby who did. The blending of those two rich dramatic personalities, both spectacularly handsome, eould mean a union of extraordinary depth and beauty and loyalty. It must have been quite a long time that she sat there in a state of complete physical Inertia. She did hjt know. She did not care. Time was nothing now, and she had for so long lived by the authority of the dock and the notes in her engagement book that told her where she was going whether she wanted to go or not. She picked up the engagement book, opened It and then with quiet deliberation tore out every page on which there was writing. Then she tore those pages iato fine bits and got up and walked across the room and dropped the pieces into a basket. Unfettered, Übby had said. Unfettered and free. That for time, Beatrice thought.

department announced that a drought was possible in Mianasota, North Itakota and Montana. Prospects for averting it, however, appeared "good.” Some important grain areas have been "merely one shower ahead of damaging droughts all spring," the railroad reported. Range grasses were said to be deteriorating rapidly In eastern Montana. Some spring grown crops were being abandoned. Forests in the northwest were critically dry and rangers said that spot fires accompanied by strong winds could "wreak havoc" to the timber. In Kansas, where too much rain was reported earlier, combines rolled in from Oklahoma and Texas to begin the wheat harvest. Several days of bright sun dried the grain. Suspended Sentence Given Marion Man James Kepler, of Marion, pleaded guilty in mayor's court this morning to a charge of petit larceny. and was given a suspended sentence. Mayor John M. Doan sentenced him to six months in the penal form and ordered him to pay a 525 fine and costs, suspended on condition that Kepler leave Adams county for one year.
