Migraine—A Medical Puzzle

Periodic attacks of excruciating headache on one side of the head, preceded by flashes of light before the eyes and accompanied by nausea and vomiting, add up to the condition known as migraine, One of the most perplecing of all medical pugzles. Doaehs of theories have been advanced to explain it& peculiar behavior, but evidence is, lackiteg to support many of them and none has led. to completely successful treatment Haperts o'. more' than '7O years ago believed * migraine tol>e due to spasm of the bloodj vessels in the brain and, even todaj?, this theory is still favored by some. Our constantly expanding knowledge of allergy has led to the idea that migraine may be due to over-sensitivity, and it is also suggested that some disturbance of the glands of internal *- tion may play a role in producing this disease. Vitamin deficiencies have also been proposed as: a , cause. Sometimes a thorough exatnb ' nation' will reveal the doUrce of ! the trouble in the Individual case, and here treatment can be directed at preventing the recurrent bouts of headache altogeth er. In the vast majority of-cases, however, no definite cause can be found; hence, treatment can only be useful in stopping the attack as soon as possible after it de-, velojis. / For tbit puppesa. IM-Htost helpful preparation aeepis to be one

A definite f step would be repeal of the law, which is in conflict with the federal statue. \ ■ -ri I J 0 o Both of the major political parties may have to look for. new . national chairmen as an outgrowth of the accusations against the men now holding these positions.'* Republican chairman Guy Gabrielson is accused of using his influence in getting the government to hold off collection of an $18,500,000 RFC loan to his company, the Carthage Hydrocol Coni., of which lhe is president. • Democrat chairman William Boyle has been put through a senate investigation for the part he is accused of playipg in getting a government loan.; for the Lithofold Corp., a company he formerly „ served as attorney. History shows . there always has been “political influence" and in the case of the national chairmen, there are no charges of fraud or other wrongdoing. Much of the fire hinges on , politics, and the fact that the chairmen had business •'* connections,'which pregYtiably they did not dissolve when they took over party leadership. . \oPolitical Debates: — ..Two candidates for mayor of Cleveland drew over a thousand persons to hear a debate on campaign issues. Aft® 1 * both had . v ■' V - , spoken, the audience was permitted to ask questions. The affair was reminiscent pf an earlier day in politics when people seemed to tqke a more active interest in government. •The political debate has all bpt vanished from 1 the American scene. It was qhce one of the most important parts of any campaign. Two candidates meeting face to face before an audience Helped the voters to who was the better rpan. Among the best remembered of thele debates was the series between Lincoln and Douglas, whith added tk Lin- . coin’s stature althdugh it did not biring him victory. fit has been argued that com4 ■ I; | ' Imunities have grown so large and fill of activities that the ; oldfashioned debates are no longer practical.

known as tartrate. Drugs which dilate the blood vessels, and simple pain-relieving drugs do not seem to be of much value. ■ ’ In using the ergotamine, it is important that “it be given in sufficient tjosage as early in the course of an attack as possible. /A derivative of- • ergotamine, known as A methanesulfonate or D.H.D.-45, has also been employed with good results in migraine attacks. A more, recent treatment con sists of the giving of a combination off ergotamine tartrate with caffeine by mouth, or by giving itr.combined with atropine in a suppository which is administered through the rectum. It has been found that‘either of these treatments has been more effective in relieving the migraine than theergotamine alone. an 'attacK. the patient should be put at complete rest in bed, preferably in a darkened room. \ , ■ , - 1 The drugs mentioned above should, of course,; be administered dnder the direction of a physician.

Is it absolutely required that a person give the reason \ for declining an invitation? A.

We won’t know about her back till morning—till . they get all the pictures made.” “She going to die, Pop?” “No, she’s not going to die? She’s got a nasty fracture of her right leg above the knee—but unless they find something wrong with' her spine she’ll be all rigliL” He was as near the breaking point now as he would ever be, he realized. “Why does it just go on and on, Laura?” he asked, as she came tn with the coffee tray. “Why does it happen this way—good luck or bad ... as though something went wild like a runaway engine and couldn’t stop beating on you, even when you’re down?” \ . “Drink this and stop, thinking,” ordered Laura firmly, “it could be worse.

Harrison said angrily. - “Harrie," Laura said soberly, “I’d vouch for Jim ElioL . Anne may have got some kind of adolescent crush on him, but Jim’s the soul of honbr. If Jim knew about iL if he suspected she was getting crazy about him, it probably worried him as much as it does you}” “You sound as though you were in love with the man yourself,” Harrison Scared. “What do you know about him? War hero! Couple of scars and all the women lose their heads. What was he doing in Eden’s car in the first place? Something happened that Anne so she didn’t look where she was going.” “I could ask Jim what happened but he would never tell me—not, if it would embarrass Anne or violate a confidence?’ “I’ll ask him, that’s who I’ll ask!” \“Huh!” said Deke. “I knew what was wrong with her. You and Mom didn’t!" “You stand reproved, Harrie.” Laura smiled quietly. “You could talk to her," he said wearily. “You’re the one to talk to Anne. You’re not a parenL She won’t feel a sense of guilt or reticence with you as sh,e would with her mother or me." “Unless," suggested Laura uncertainly, “she’s got a deluded idea that Pm a sort of rival Jim and I have been friends."

a hard knot "Have I, Harrie? , Thank you. But that doesn’t help, I of course.” Harrison caught her meaning tor a wonder, which shrewdness. ( amazed him a little. She didn’t , have to share Jim Eliot; there was I no conflict there. 1 ,He said abruptly, “Go to bed, Peke.” ■ « , “ Deke rubbed his feet together. “Why can’t I stay up till Mom , comes back?” r “Your mother may not come back till morning.” “Why canit Aunt Laura stay, all night then? She £ould sleep in , Anne’s bed.” “Could you \do thaL Laura? , Deke doesn’t like being left all alone tonighL I’ve got to go back to the hospital ” “Yes, I suppose I could.” When Deke had clumped off up-? stairs, Harrison lighted a cigaret, drew Hard on iL watching Laura : gather. up the cups and carry, the tray into the kitchen. Harrison got to his feet with a lunging motion ’ and stalked into the kitchen. \ Laura stood at the sink, her 1 hands deep in suds as she washed ' the cups. “Deke will be all rigljL ! Harrie. , 1 think it would be better if I went home now.” y \ : “There’s no reason why you can't* stay all night in my house," he insisted. “You believe that—you really do?” she Said incredulously. Laura dried her hands slowly and carefully. “Harrie, don’t tell , me that you’re too obtuse to realize that I’ll be blamed for this affair of Anne’s? I brdught Jim Eliot ’ into your house. Eden isn’t going to overlook that little item.’” * “I brought him in too. He sold the Garden Hijl house for us. You’re distorting things, looking for blame where it doesn’t exisL” “I wish it were as intangible as thaL” eyes, always a little too large for her face, seemed to grow even larger. “Don’t tell me you don’t know that Eden hates me?” He said harshly, “Well, for the past three months there have been times when I thought she hated me too.’ But there was some justification for thaL I’ve messed up her life. In her mind I’m a failure, and all the burden and stupidity and humiliation of my failings have fallen on her, Maybe she’s right—l don’t know. But whht reason has she for hating you?” Laura hung up the towel, carefully. “There’d be no use for me to tell you. You’d deny it or say it was my imagination. Leave it 1 like this: Anne likes me, Deke likes tne, you depend on me—more than yoti realize. That leaves Eden ouL No woman likes being left out.”? t “Eden leaves herself out! She’s out because she wants to be on the outside, because if she gave in and took things gracefully it would destroy her grievance — and she isn’t jgoing to surrender thaL” “Don’t talk that way, Harrie—not to me. I’m not trying to encourage any disloyalty in you. I’m simply stating where I stand with Eden; 1 don’t know how you’ve missed seeing it all this time/ but anyway, now you know.” A “I know that women can cook up the craziest emotional stews over fiothing to keep a man miserable and on the defensive, but 1 didn’t',expect it from you,” Handson said. “I’ve always told myself that whatever happened Laura* would have a sensible viewpoint. j on iL I depended on thaL" \ , .J

“You see? That** why your wife hates me. I shouldn't have come here tonight, really. It was just the sort of impulsive thing I do—- . rushing off without thinking. I'd better go along home now.” He stared at her as though he had never seen her before, as she slipped through the door. Laura had been like a child of his, an these years. He had felt the Impelling x to defend her, to stand with her against his own brother. She had been almost as special and important to him as Anne, easier to understand than his own wife, as casually comradely as his son. He heard a car door slam In the street. The front door opened and Eden came in. She was very pale and her eyes were big and dhrk and sunken. “You’ll have to pay the man," she said. “I left in such a hurry I didn’t take my purse.” , li. * Walking out to the street, counting out change for the taxi, gave Harrison time to get himself in hand. When he came back Eden was still standing where he had left her. ‘*l was coming back for you," he said. “I was just waiting for Deke to get to sleep. He was pretty much upset because we left without him,” || 1 “There wasn’t time to look for him. He’s never at home any more. It’s these boys in this neighborhood—they all run wild.” “Should I go back? Is she all right?" "No, I don’t think there's any use. to go back. They’d given her a sedative after the anaesthetic wore off. They told me I’d better go'home and rest. That horrible Cast— ft will be weeks!” she pried, making a tragic gesture. She dropped into a chair. "I feel so guilty," she moaned, tl knew somehow she wasn’t telling the truth. But that man! At lehst—" she was grim— “I let Mr. Elliot know what I thought about hi* conduct—meeting little girls at night and then riding that ambulance to the hospital. The story wilt be all over town by tomorrow —as though we hadn’t supplied enough material for the gossips already!” > SSarrison went to the kitchen, hehted some milk and laced it With brandy. “Drink this," he ordered when he returned. Stje began to cry, and in a few minutes she was writhing and sobbing in a mild hysteria. In desperation, when every form of corrjifort failed, Harrison telephoned Dr. Cannon. “You’d better corte over, Bus," he jalaid. “Edie’s gone all to pieces from shock." “Tt's not shock!" she hurled at h I jn* shrilly. “It’s heartbreak. You’re not’condemning Eliot bocause he’s Laura’s friend! Laura could bring a leper into the midst Os your family, and yok’d find Some justification for It!” .< Under a sedative later Eden grew quiet, dropped into a heavy sleep. When the doctor had gone Harrison sat for a long time staring St; the floor. He took a long envelope from his coat pocket, opened it and drew out a legal papfer. , It was a notice that three Southern sawrn ills had filed h joint suit against him for breach of contract, claiming damages amounting to a hundred thousand doUacs.
