RuDtured Peptic Ulcer Needs Treatment (

- A RUPTURED peptic ulcer is one that eats through the wall ct the stomach or intestine, allowing the contents of these or gans to leak through into the abdominal cavity and setting up a condition known as peritonitis or* inflammation of the lining mem- ( brane of cavity. Until a few years ago, nearly all A cases of ruptured ulcer proved fatal because of this subsequent peritonitis. Today; however, with the sulfonamide drugs and the antibiotics, this condition can usually be prevented. Nevertheless, the condition entails other hazards which make emergency treatment imperative. Rupture of -wn ulcer causes sud- * den severely sharp pain in the abdomen. The patient appears to be in shhck and develops rigidity- oA stiffness of his abdominal muscles. The pain often passes upward to both shoulderp. it is Important that a diagnosis be made of this condition as early, as possible, because the sooner treat- —’ went is undertaken, the better the chance of recovery. The mortality rate in patients operated within 10 hours after ’■* rupture is Close to one- out oi twenty. In those operated after 10 hours, the mortality-increases

A good question was asked by Sen. Morse, Republican of Oregon, following the senate hearings on this country.’* Chinese policy. • Who is financing the “Chinalobby” the Oregon statesman i wants to know? There Is so much ta/llt in favor fpf Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, that Morse’s political sense causes him to believe that pressure group* have funds to turn out propaganda for the Chinese Nationalists. The country would dike to know more a about this phase of the Far Eastern policy controversy. Kai-Shek’s cohorts are accused of having made a lot of money from loans and materials sent to the General when he wai on the mainland. o o ' : • J > 3 J: ; J Smoke Rings:— ' The output of cigarettes in the . United States has reached a new record. Production for the year has been at the rate of almost half a pack per day for every man, [ woman and child; Presumably the smoking of them must also have reached a new peak. The Department of Agriculture reports that consumption of cigarettes per person of 15 years or older increas-, ed 270 f percent from 1925 to 19501 Statistics 00 cigarette-smoking always provoke questions about the Reasons foi? its growth, and the - significance of it. The common answers are not highly informative, and do pot always bang together. One explanation for the recent increase, for example, is that personal incomes are higher.) On the other hand it is often said-T that individuals-smoke more when they are worried or depressed. One conclusion seems unquestionable: the cigarette has established its supremacy in popularity , over other form? of tobacco, pipe and cigar smokers being in the minority. Advertising also helped to create* cigarette sales.

to Close to one out of five. These figures show that, promptness in these instances Is life-saving. _ > As soon as the diagnosis of ruptured peptic ulcer is made, the r-atient should be rushed to a hospital and, as quickly as shock has been relieved by the giving of fluids into a vein or the giving of blood .or plasma, operation is undertaken to close the hole in the stofnach wall, The material from the stomach which has; leaked into the peritoneal cavity Is then carefully removed with a suction apparatus, the patient’s abdomen is closed, and he is given large doses of penicillin, streptomycin, and sulfonamide drugs. Recently, thqj use of aureomycin, Chloromycetin,-, and terrain?tin has further increased the chances for recovery in these cases. Many cases of ruptured peptic ulcer are how being saved through early diagnosis and rapid operative treatment,, together with ths use of the newer antibWfics. \ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS G.P.: I have very severe head- > aches. ■ Do you think becoming ' pregnant would help clear up i these headaches? r Answer; Pregnancy would probs ably not relieve your headaches. 4- . ■■ A,.-- - ' ■ - .

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE SLOWLY, the smile faded from her lips. “What’s that on your collar?** she said. “As if I didn’t know ?" 5 “Collar?" McGann said. “What collar?” He touched it and tried to look down. “Must be blood. I’ve had an eventful evening." “Obviously. For heaven's sake, don't rub it." She led him to one side and took out a compact, powdering the mark. “One thing I draw the line at is going out with a man whose collar doesn't match my lipstick." “I can explain everything." . “You dent have txx" "But 1 want to. Irma Nelson collapsed on my manly bosom and 1. gave her what comfort 1 could. It was the decent thing to do." "Os course," she said. She took his arm ana they started down the long steps to Lexington Avenue. “We’re very Joe College tonight Where’s your hat?" ' “Hat?" “Yes, hat" “I left it on Kathleen Rogers* radiator." She stopped with one foot poised. “You left it on whose what?" “The radiator. Kathleen Rogers’. To dry. It was wet" “This is wonderful," she said. “I feel flattered to think my number finally came up. Who punched you tn the eye?" V y • “That” McGann said, “Is a badge of purest Courage. Received in deadly combat From Hooker Hunyak." ’>[ \ ■ “You're sure it wasn't Gypsy Rose Lee when she caught you hiding in her dressing room?” “Word of honor. Anything else, Mr. District Attorney?” “Only that you’re wearing a lovely tie. Unusual figure, too. I gave Ronnie one Just like it” ' McGann assayed a light laugh. To tell the truth, I borrowed it Thought it went well with the eye.” “Good lord," Chary said. “On top of everything else, he’s a ghouL" She faced him on the sidewalk. “It’s too late to back out now. Let’s start with El Morocco but please don’t try to take any pandas away from anybody there.” They had two dances at El Morocco and went on to the Stork where they had three dances. In the Versailles, Chary finally smiled, and had her fortune told. At Leon & Eddie’s Chary ordered scrammed eggs. “Don’t you think you’d better eat?” she asked. “Eat?” McGann said. \“Solids?" He looked pained. “I thought it might be a good idea." He leaned forward. “Hunger stalks the land. One-third of the nation is ill-fed and yet—and yet—you would have me snatch the scrambled eggs fron. the very lips of the deserving.” For emphasis he struck the table sharply with a swizzle-stick, which broke. “Never let it be said that a McGann violated foodless Monday. Difficult as it—“lt’s Tuesday now," Chary said. “It’s a quarter after Tuesday." She signaled the waiter. “Better make that two orders of scrambled eggs," \ j “I knew it was a mistake to give them the vote,” McGann told the waiter. “Yes. sir." “Next thing you know they'll want to throw away their veils,”

He. caught her look and added quickly, “Thinking." “Excuse me,” she said and rose, and he stood up, too. He watched the annoyed set of her back as she disappeared toward the powder room. When he went over to Holton’s table, the two looked up with well-concealed pleasure. “Hello, there," McGann said genially. “Small Fifty-Second Street/ “How'ja do," Gladys Mars said. “Ah, 7 McGann," Holton said, without- rising. His face was expressionless. “I don’t wish to discuss business here but I'd like to see you in the morning. I have been tri touch this evening with Inspector O'Callahan and he expects shortly to clear up this entire unfortunate affair.” “Marvelous,” McGann said. “Mrs. O’Callahan is bound to be pleased. Meanwhile, though, there’s one thing I’d like to have." -. | “What’s that?” ' | The .record Mr. Tompkins made of his ; will.

It has no legal status, you know—that’s all taken care of in the written will —so I let hin» have it." | , McGann glanced toward the 1 powder room, then back to the table. /“I’ll borrow it/ from Frazier,” lie said. “Did he pick it up in person?" - j ; . L “Pearson said he’d drop it off.” Briefly,, the lawyer explained that the former butler had been in his office discussing final details of his legacy- when Farwell’s telephone request had come through. “He knew Mr. Farwell, of course, and seemed anxious to do the favor." Chary, was threading her way back to the table. "Thanks," McGann said. \ “I’ll check it.” They : reached the table together and she let him push in her chair without smiling. McGann beckoned the waiter over and said, “The national debt, please." • He asked her. “Like to, see a disc jockey going into the stretch?"

Til risk it." i Midtown was still in its stride, crowds coming and going befote the neon-lighted bistros. They streamed across the corners against the lights while the taxi inched its way through. Snatches of off-key song and brittle laughter floated through the cab window and when they stopped for the light at Seventh Avenue three sailors thrust grinning faces against the glass to peer at Chary. “Hiya, beautiful!" they shouted happily. “Stand by to repel a boarding party," McGann said. “AU hands to stations on the doublet” The taxi started again and the sailers gave it a farewell pounding on the pack. “A broadside," he said, “right in the tail-light but I think we made it." They're sweet," Chary said. The doorman at the radio studio knew her and said, “Sure” when they asked to go up. They walked along quiet corridors, entered a large room filled with folding chairs. Music was coming from a loudspeaker and through a glass partition at the end of the room they could see Frazier Farwell An. engineer wearing headphones was at the mixing controls. ■ Farwell was sideways to them. He had his jacket off and his collar was open. He turned away, not seeing them, and hunching up to the microphone as they came forward. His voice sounded over the speaker in the room as it was being broadcast. “Here we are back in our *Can You Imagine* ballroom,” he told his unseen listeners, dropping in the Inevitable chuckle. There’s a big crowd as usual this morning Kd rm going to ask this girl and r escort to step up to the mike and tell us what in the world they see In each other."' He slid into the act with professional ease—first as the girl, giggling self-consciously. “Really, Mr. Farwell, I don’t see too well. We were afraid once it was that eye trouble—gloccamorrai Oh, you mean why do I like Ellsworth, here? Well, he’s so strong and silent..." ; $ “Is that true, Ellsworth?" Farwell said in his natural voice and switched instantly to the fictitious “escort,” who said, “Duh ?" Thank you very much, Ellsworth,* Farwell said. “You can go back in your barrel now while we hear the Columbia record Abe Lyman made of ‘You’re the Cream in My Coffee* way back when people could afford it.” His index finger made a short arc in the direction of the engineer and immediately the jumpy rhythm beat out into the room. >'■ “He’s even worse than I thought he was,” McGann said. I “I think Frazier's very talented," Chary said. She Waved a gloved hand as Farwell turned and the disc jockey's face lit up with pleasure.
