-MJ — Jj —_ Histamine Injections Used To Aid a Form of Paralysis

i | ByHERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. .. LATELY we have been hearing much about some new drugs that > doctors welcome. Take histamihe ' injections, which are some times helpful in relieving the paralysis es the face known as Bell’s palsy. Quite a number of people suffer from this disorder, but most of 'I them have the less serious type and recover in a month or two. Bell's palsy usually attacks suddenly. The face seems to sag !j from the paralysis of the facial i f muscles. The eyelid and a comer of the mouth may droop and the j person has trouble talking and t chewing. •• Disfigurement Varies The change in.appearance re- ' ' suiting from an attack differs for .J-people of different ages, or facial - “ expressions. The change is most pf course, in the peri son who uses his facial expressions a grtatdeal, and the muscles that are used most are the ones that sag most. The “dead pan” type of persbn is disfigured the least.. An attack may bring severe s pain, usually around the ear, before the paralysis develops. Pain below the ear may persist for • many days and become very annoying indeed. We do not know the exact pause of Bell’s palsy. It may be due to pressure on the facial perve where it passes through the bone. About 80 per cent, of ; , patients have the less serious i ; . ’ ':' '?. ?i - * ■ ' ■ . i . \ ■ a

The confession of Al Johiaon from a church pulpit in Topeka, Kansas, that he participated in a bank robbery four years ago, Attracts more than usual attention. Since the robbery, which the repentant said netted him |33s, Re has been living a normal life and now has a family. While bank robbery can’t be condoned, it?s doubtful if (justice would \ Cued by sending the man to pri- ' son, for on the face of thiijig* He has rehabilitatted himself, which according to the code iswhat courts of justice hope tor do. If we had it to do, we would give the man a suspended sentence, or place him under probation to the preacher of the church in (which » ■i v • ■ 1 ’■ I r •" he made his public confession. , There must be some sincerity in him or he wouldn't have confessed to a crime that could send him tio the penitentiary. ft j -—so -o— — West Germany Gaips> It may be, that in the long run West Germany wilt make more important (contributions to the defense effort of Eyrope than mere consignments of soldiers.) This was emphasized in a New York Times account of the industrial trade fair held n't Hanover. At fair electrical equipment, pVoduc? tion and precision tools, ribber, Chemicals and consumer goods of great variety were) dismayed, 1 | German productive capacity and mechanical skills were highly developed before World War 11/ West Germany i has not fully recovered ftfom the effects of the war but under an enlightened occupation great strides toward cbvery have been made. . The aid '' .• if . ’’ ’ 1i- ’ ' ' I ' t. and assistance given to the Germans may pay off in big! dividends. Germany inay be able to raise production to the i point .Where its economy selfsufficient. The goods it> cap produce are needed in Europe and may stimulate the econpihjes\ of other European countries. in the Russian zone machinery has been stripped and sejit off to Russia., lijeal recovery has been discouraged. Coniaebuently the people in the xob e occupied by the Reds remain defeated and production is almost at a standstill. lnv i) | . i '■ ' I '■ T stead of ii|building up a country that may some day be a valuable friend Russia, has preferred to hold a people subjugated. A

type of the disease, which usually passes off without difficulty. The more severe type occurs when the facial nerve degenerates. Patients with this type do not recover unless the nerve is regenerated, which may take from three to nine months. < Prompt Treatment '< It is important to start treating Bell’s palsy promptly— as soon as the paralysis starts, If possible. The nerves and muscles should hot be given a chance to lose their function. They should be stimulated by electricity under the direction of a physician. Intravenous injections of histamine, given dally, have also produced favorable results In some | cases. . It Is especially Important to protect the eyes during the period of palsy by wearing an eye shield or glasses. The reason for this is that the eye reflex is absent, and it. Is easy to injure the cornea or front pf the eye, damaging the eyeball permanently. QUESTIONS AND ANSWW Mrs. L.: Is It well to force a child to eat even though he dues not want to eat the food set before him? Answer: It Is not advisable. If the child Is cbntinuously forced to eat, he will develop a dislike for the foods offered and the eating problem will - become worse as time progresses. It might also cause other behavior problems. • ' I 1 1 • • ■, ! < U ‘

T ~ u— < _* Express Tnanks * Adams County Junior Red Cross members who participated in filli ing gift boxes through a school project last year are receiving a special thrill. From Itaty, japan, India, and Germany have come thank-you letters from boys and girls who received boxes. Miss Glennys Roop, Junior Red Cross Chairman, is still searching (or a loqal person who is able to translate the letters written in Italian. The Japanese and Indiap letters were written iu English and the Gefman letters were translated by Max Schafer. Walter Sandmann was one of the boys )whose parents lived in the Russian Zone of Germany. After receiving his gift box he wr<|>te, “1 received a package from the Red .Cross! with pencils, paint brush, blockls tooth paste, wash cloth, tooth! brush, and balk Many, many hearty thanks. I am 1 ten years old and was born in Kunzendorf by Neurpde Eulengebirgo, Silesia. My mother, brother, and I were deported from our home on October 23, 1946 Iby the Poles. Wje We4e not permitted to anything with - us.

My 1 brother isa sixteen years old and . is laaruing to be a carpenter. My . (athek works’ in the Post Office. Again many thanks apd hearty greetings.” Perhaps Peter Schubert of Gro- ; nau, Germany arrived at the true, meaning of the gift boxes when he spid, “Great is my joy over the manj; prettly things which you sent,! 0 hut |ioi alpne am 1 happy over! those really' things but also! (because now I know that we school, children are one big. com- * munity and regardless of whether we gp to school in America of Ger--1 we belong together.

h«r package shortly before Christmas and perhaps it gav* hqr some hope for better days. She says, “1, too, received a school package and It gave me grejat joy and I thank you for it heartily. I can use it very well. We are eight brothers and sisters and have lost our home. My father has no work, and We'have to jiust worry it through. ‘Pretty soon wa will celebrate Christmas. Many greeting, sends Margarete Bethke.” Heiliaciyo Tamura, a Japanese schoolmaster, wrote for his boys and girls by saying in part, "As soon as 1 opened it, my dearly boys and girls were all very glad to see many good i things. Rpr they Have never seen Such nice toys and many othpr things, 1 handed these good things to my pupils. So they said, ‘Nice!’ ‘Wonderful!' or ‘America is a nice country!* Please imagine exultation my hthr* ami girls. 1 thank you heartily.” The Junior Red Cross Gift Box Program is an annual project in j Adams County. The boxes are filled j by the rural, and parochial I schpols under the direction of tpe various teachers. The small boxps are furnished by the American National Red (L'ross through the Chais teres and are filled by the cIaMS-l rooms. The contents ihclude reg-i reational and personal articles ami health and school supplies. WhenJ filled, the boxes are sent to foreign countries where! they are distributed through Red Cross channels to chiltjijen in schools, insilttuions and displaced persons'* camps. The jectivjes the boys and girls have in filling the boxes is one of directly demonstrating to boys and girls in other countries the friendship and good will of American school children through the offering of* gifts’ selected with care. This Month many boys and girls ail over the county gre again filling boxes and it ip believed that this this County will be able to send at least 75 boxes. *. .1 INSUMCB j ' Returns To Camp Herb Kitson has 1 returned' to, cahjb, after spending an eight-day leave with his wife apd other relatives.
