I _ ~ ; ■■ T-- 7-i -fl | It's- Important to Discover True Cause in Case of 1 Coma .1
_By HERMAN N. BUN2ESEM, M.D. | THE number of cases of coma seems to be rising. In manyjarge hospitals, over five per cent pf the patients admitted for emergency - treatment arrive in coma. There are many causes of this ‘ condition, one of the commonest being acute alcoholism. But we should not take/ it for granted that this if the cause whenever ’ we see a persdnjfainting on the street or lying in a coma. *<■ Condition Neglected 5 . Too Often these misfortunes ■ are blamed on liquor, and the victim’s physical conditioln is thus neglected. Many times he may be J suffering from a serious disease and should be treated at once.’ Even when due to alcoholism, / a coma may not come from the liquor alone. An accompanying serious ifiness may also be respon- ' sible. A person in such a coma requires immediate and diligent case. Skull Injury Possible A .frequent cause, of coma is a skull fracture, sometimes unsUspecteds Many times a person is strqck in a traffic accident and appears to suffer no serious damage. Actually, he may have a severe skull injury which will bring on a coma in a few hours;

. - ■ 1 ; ■ L i i Other causes of coma ate drug poisoning, epilepsy, and diabetic, reactions—both to cyabfetes and insuliri. Severe infections and diseases may also lead to comas. Making Diagnosis Good treatment exists for many of’those disorders. This ma-kes f it . , important to discover t-fie 'pai tient’s true condition immediately by advanced methods of diagnosis,as soon as he is brought to a hospital in coma. With modern laboratory tests.and examihapon methods, apd a careful medical history of the patient, most cases can be. correctly diagnosed and quickly helped. 1. | p-f Rapid, conscientious concern ' for patients in coma can greatly lower the death rate in these cases. . ’ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1 J.

Henri saw it all now. That infer)ial boy had made 4t up with LeomC,. and she had immediately cast bfl popr Joseph Newman. It was just like') a Calvert. Hadn’t that Colonel, as they called him; been trying for years—vainly, of course—to steal Antoinette from him ? i | It Was a double blow. Not only was Leonie in danger again, but he, Henri, pad lost the friendship of a fellow-hobbyist. It I had been nice to think, once in a while, that he could "perhaps take some small part in shaping Joseph's career. When he saw Leonie'® face t at -the dinner table, he kneW that Joseph had beep right. "She musp have kriown this yesterday, at the latest,” he thought. “How was it that I didn't; notice?” 1' ' He realized that Heloise was speaking to him. 1 "Wag St very hot in office today?” < \ “Hot?’’ Henri inquired. “Oh, the Weather. -Yes, very hot.” . “Brother, J. I hope that legacy business; isn’t worrying you too much.” ' “No,” j Henri said sharply. He Was trying to think just what to say to Leonie. / [ “Joseph Newman came to see me this morning,” he said finally, giving hen an accusing loop. Leonie was startled. She gazed at her plate. “He whs a pitiful object," Henri said. “You’ve hurt his feelings by telling him not to come here any more.” , “I can’t haVe him tagging around,” Leonie said. "He's too tiresome, and he wantage tell me' that he’s in love with me. I’ve got no- other protection against that kind of nagging but to get rid of him.? “Leonie,” Heloise. said, “you’ve been- very unfair. You let that young man come around and plan that picnic for you and all that, and now you show him that ,you were just using him to make that other boy see you didn’t care.” * “I didn’t—” Leonie began, but she stopped, “And now, I Oppose,” Henri said, "that young blagyard is coming here tonight?” “He asked if he /could,” Leonie said. She looked triumphant. ("Don’t think I asked him to come!,” she said. , 1 “I’m sure the quarrel was over something very important,” Heloise remarked. ; _ “He vvas rude to me.

He spluttered now. \ “I’ve forbidden that ruffian to come into \ this house' once before. I’ve got a good mind to do df again.” “If you do—” Leonie began, but Heloise interrupted. j ( “We aren’t going to do anything of the kind. Your uncle is just, upset. We’re going to trust your good sense not to get too. deeply involved with this Lincoln Calvert. You’re putting yourself in the way of trouble and heartburnings.” i “Uncle is a great one to talk,’’, Leonie saidi. "He’s been going with Miss Antoinette for about a hundred years; and she’s a Protestant Z'4ld an aristocrat," she added Scornfully. “Wouldn’t the Fieldings have looked [down on us?” “There is no need to drag Antoinette into this," Henri said stiffly.

"Os course not,” Henri said. “We’re all talking foolishness, anyway.” He laughed as if all this conversation had been merely the rehearsal of a play. “Leonie couldn’t think of doing such h foolish thing as—well, we know our little girl isn’t going to do anything she’ll regret.” That evening he mhde a valiant attempt not to pay any attention to Lincoln Cal vert’s. visjt.

' : Since he had not acquainted his cousin Julie, with the news about the legacy, Henri decided to visit her that Sunday affer mass?

A few moments- afterward he rang the bell. . , A \ Sarah answered, and he went/ onto the cool piazza and sat ip a* rocker, and waited. He heard Sarah, upstairs, announcing his arrival, and Miss Julie’s familiar bellow, this time to the effect that she had to take off her corset and cool herself, and Sarah returned with a barely suppressed grin and askedhim to wait, and would he have drink of water? A "Thank you, Sarah,” Henri said. “I would like a glass of water.” •When spe brought it he asked about hes husband, \nd was told that he- was so-so, Jafter which Sarah returned to hpr cooking. > “Henri!” Miss Julie boomed. “So glad to see you!” “How are’ you, Cousin Julie"?” Miss Julie said philosophically, “I’m seventy-f&fi’, son, and I’vp got no cause to complain. My liver gets tprpid every now and then and Dr. Forbes-says me blood pressure is high, bit that doh’t worry me. Sister Josephine, when she was here for poor TesS’ie’s funeral, tried to get me to drink pot ( water every morning but it makes me gorge rise. Now there’s Sister-Emma—that’s what worries me. Emma has too big an appetite. She always had,, too. I remember once when we were gyirls and She ate forty sugar figs without stopping. We used to say She had . a tapeworm, like poor Cousin Clara’s boy Theodore. He was a little devil.
