A New Treatment For Osteomyelitis

By Herman N. Bundssen. M. 0. Nothing better illustrates the great debt we owe to the germ-kill* Ing drug*, ••ch as penicillin, than to contrast todays treatment of osteomvelitis with that of 10 year* ago Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bon* In the days Instore penicillin and streptomycin there was almost nothing which would control It. In many cases, not eyen surgical removal nt infected tissues proved effective. Patients, frequently children, might l>e confined to bed for years with great draining abscesses and. when healing did occur. so much bone had usually Iseen destroyed as to leave, them crippled Today such patients can Ise returned to healthy, useful lives in less than three months by a treatment which combines penicillin, streptomycin, and operation The methssd suggested by Dr John 0. Wilson is to put the patient at rest while making a culture from the affected bone area The culture Is then tested to see if the germs are sensitive to streptomycin or penicillin. The patient is given plenty of food. Iron preparations If needed, vitamins, and injections of whole Mood Into a vein When the germs causing the infection are found to be sensitive to streptomycin this preparation is given by Injection into a muscle every four hours for M hours. If the germs are sensitive to penicillin, this preparation la employed in the sama way. At the and of the Jd-bour period aa epeMtma i* performed agd all

Something of that nature will have to bo done in counties, for under the present system not enough funds are available for road construction and upkeep. 0 o Cans And Campfires Holiday* call for picnic* and campfires; vacations call for plenty <>f cans of food to add to the fish caught in streams and lake* But holiday time al*o is forest fire time. It is only too easy to start the tiny creeping flame which reaches the evergreens and turns into a roaring blax< which sweeps with utter devastation over the countryside. Make the campfire, by all means. But make it safely and skillfully Then see that it is en tirely out before you leave Let no cigaret butt be left with the slightest spark in it All garbage, of course, is to be burned before the fire goes down. And the fire? Water or sand or tamping down is necessary. Watch it Take ten more minutes. Take half an hour if needful, but see '.hat the fire Is out. What’s half an hour compared with a forest fire? You can walk around, sing, visit while the fire dies. But don’t leave It alive. Have fun Hut have it without destruction and leave the place with the happy hearts that go with clear consciences and thought for the public good

t the dead bone and tissue wnten has been injured by the Infection is removed. The wound is washed out with a salt solution, and a mixture of penicillin and salt solution is poured" into the wound Then a mixture of streptomycin and dried blood plasma is dusted over the .surface Finally, a pressure dressing Is put on Two weeks later the wound is dressed; then once a week thereafter. Cultures are made at weekly Intervals to determine whether or not the infection has cleared up The patient is kept at rest tn bed ■ until all reaction from the operation has disappeared The use of penicillin and streptomycin direct ly on the wound is continued until there Is healing These are given by injection for nine days after operation hut. In such cases, streptomycin must be carefully employed to make sure that damage to the hearing nerve does not develAs a rule, osteomyelitis la not j difficult to diagnose.

CHAPTER FORTY THREE BEATRICE left the room and the noise of her heels upon the stairs prohibited her hearing the muffled, broken voice, the lonely voica of Mrs. Ramey crying, •'Beatrice! Beatrice!" Jenny was standing In the hall downstairs with Beatrice's coat tn her hands. She had heard, of course. Every word. Even it Mrs. Ramey had not banged her cane, even if they had not shouted at each other, Jenny would probably have listened anyway. The wizened servant said nothing. There was no need to say anything, when her face so elo-* quently expressed her feelings. For Jenny looked as if she could scarcely contain her jubilance. It was worth it if only for you, Beatrice's glance told her. And then this door through which she had come so happily and hopefully and innocently the first time was closing upon her forever. She stood still, feeling the air rush to her to cooi her face. What have I donef she cried in her heart WAat hate I donef And the answer—l have done only what I should have done years She went to her car, got In and started it and gave herself up to the unutterable bliss of her freedom. She did not know where she was going. For the first time in years, years, there was miraculously no place to go. She had bamshed every commitment She turned her head and looked at that great ghostlike house upon the hill, as barren and as inhospitable in summer as it was now in winter. As the car moved down the street, she still had no idea where she was going. She knew only that she must not go home until the fantastic pace of her thoughts had subsided. It struck her with force that she must not go home to Marianne until ahe had rid herself once and for all of the contamination to which she had exposed herself these many years. She did not realias until she was miles out of town that she bed unconsciously taken the road to Atlartie City. And then ths impulse was strong upon her to keep oa going until she came to that wluts «*»u»glad betel tout block* tow th* beach, *nd there atoa*

try to recapture in thought the enchantment that their ambition had made them so blithely throw away. But you can't go back, Beatrice thought. We are different now from what we were then, just as the world is different Incalculable experience is upon us—war and separation and crisis. And no matter how much we long for it, we cannot isolate ourselves from our little moment in history. We cannot isolate ourselves from the people of our time. It is a sad delusion to think we could ever be that boy and girl again. We are fortunate in the memory of those disembodied two, to whom war was a thing that had been fought futilely in 1917, to whom separation and crisis were incredible beyond comprehension— Beatrice and Porter—Leave them there in the wonder and bliss of love's revelation. She stopped for gasoline, and then turned the car homeward. She was surprised to find no compulsion to hurry. Indeed she felt so calm that her glance wandered along the roadside to the filling stations, the little houses, the taverns, and tourist places that would with the coming of spring seethe with activity. The coming of spring. Fascination for all those lives alien to hers dropped from her face like a removable mask. The coming of spring. She was back with time again, for no one could long lose it Time. Time that would tell, as surely as it marked the hours of the day and night, whether their marriage had survived this crisis or whether— It is rtrange, she thought, that 1 did not have to face it until 1 was ready for it I’m ready for it now. Porter, whatever it may be. When she tinned her car into her own street, she saw Porters car parked in front of the bouse. She left her car behind his. went up the path, and opened the unlocked door. The piece of luggage and his brief case, bulging, were in the hall Porter, standing in the center of th* living room, turned sad looked at her. Slowly EaaL-Xe weal toward

Homemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Outdated Directions Booklets on home canning and freezing, published only a few years ago, may be antiques today. .Old directions should not he relied lon year after year because improved methods are being developed by I research. It pays to retire these ' antiques in favor ot the most modem methods. This is especially true of booklets and bulletins on home freer ing So much research 1* in pro greas on this subject that methods are improved each year. Canning directions also may need to be repia<ed. Many of the I long processing times recommended for safe canning of vegetables -during the war already are out of date. Research has shown that many vegetables keep safely with shorter processing, and are better In flavor, texture and color. However, many old recipes for jam. jelly, preserves, conserves and marmalades still hold good today. The greatest changes of methods are in the newer arts of canning and freezing Clean Range A dean kitchen range looks and also cooks better than one allowed to gather grease, spilled food, dust or rust.

him. And she thought what a long, long time it had been since she had seen him, with so much between this and the last time. And it seemed to her that the lines had dropped from his face, that he looked younger than he had In years. She thought she must be dreaming when she aaw that his eyes, as black as eyes ever can be, had cooled at last She knew she was not dreaming when she felt his presence passionately. "Porter, I must tell you now what I have done today. And even if you hate me, I am not sorry for what I did. I had to do it to be a whole person again and not a lot of particles I have scattered here and there to people who really do not matter. 1 told Mrs. Ramey today what she is, and that I want nothing, nothing from her and that I hope I never see her again as long as I live. And I know what that means to you, to Marianne, to me—" He smiled. "My only regret io that I wasn't there to cheer you on, Bee ” "But—" •1 quit my job today. Tm through, finished with the old maa. I walked out" She let out her breath slowly. "He naked for It," Porter said. "I told Ahn off. If I had stayed Td be what he Is. And It wasn't worth it It wasn't worth It" "You've been struggling with yourself—" His eyes deepened. "Oh, God. have 1? A savage struggle with myself! It was much worse at the plant than I ever told you. His ruthlessness, his greed, his (inhumanity. It was like working under a whip. I couldn’t tell you! I couldn't do anything but take it when it meant so much to you—this house, your clothes, the club, the two cars in the garage, the weekends, tne .hole blasted business' And it all fitted you. It became you, it was what I promised you th* Jay I married you!" His voice rose and shook. He was suffering hi the telling "He didn't want me to go into the Navy.
