Disorder of the Gallbladder Is A Complaint of Middle Age

I By HERMAN N. BUNDEStN; M.D. 1 FROM the number of letters I deceive, I am sure a good many of my readers know something about gallbladder disease, and quite a few have had gallbladder operations. Gallbladder disease is a very common and usually prolonged < complaint of 'middle age. One of the commonest types is caused by > gallstones. From 10 to 20 per cent of all people who reach the ageof fifty have gallstones, it is claimed. They appear most often in women who have had frequent pregnancies, in persons who are overweight, and in those who eat much fatty food. Cannot Be Dissolved - ; ; There is no way to dissolve gallstones with medicine. Fortunately, however, both bladder and Stones can be removed by an operation that is usually successful -•'and not too difficult. ■. Incidentally, gallstones have nothing to do with kidney stones, and the gallbladder is quite different from the urinary bladder. ! The gallbladder is a rather small pouch near the liver. It is a sac for storing liver bile, a juice I used in digesting fat. Stones cam ! dam up its passage and interfere i with iis normal function. The stones are produced from ; bile which crystallizes, the chem;lcal cholesterol, and sometimes calcium. We do not know exactly •why this happens, but it is believed that infection is an Im- / portant cause. Some Have No Trouble J About half the people with gallstones never have any trouble from them, and may never know they have them. k The other type of gallstones:

has cut fire losses below the damagte caused by insects and tree diseases. I \ O— o (Kathleen Windsor, author of "Forever Amber” will receive an income tax rebate of $26,358.72. She will receive the monkey because a court ruled that! she is not a professional writer and writes primarily for her own amusement. She is indeed a most , fortunate individual to be able to find amusement in a pastime that has proved so profitable. I I ' ‘ ' T; r \ < —l O They don’t come too big for the Hollywood police it_seeqis. When Lou Costello, famous film comedian filled up on wine and tried tp drive his ear he zig zagged over td> the wrong side of the Street, hit a parked ear and almost, drove into an approaching automobile. ? ■ if-— ■ The cops picked him off and took him to court where he was fined 'slso on a misdemeanor charge of drunkeness. - 4 ' Hl. .. , ■■ . . ■ v . -4>- o ] 4 Just In Time:—Decatur citizens learned recent- t ly of the dangerous condition of. the walls of the Decatur juniorsenior high school building. While 1 it will cost considerable money to repair the damage done by faulty elimination of\ water from the top of the building, Superintendent W» Guy Brown discovered the trouble and called it To th/e attention of the school board immediately. The quick action of the Superintendent and the board may easily hats a tragedy! Engineer Howard Buckel, who inspected the building Friday stated that while there has considerable damage, the building is not beyond repair and the reconstruction can be done before there is any physical danger. A. M. Strauss, architect for the building when -it was constructed jU-yeafs ago has promised complete cooperation with tho-school .1' 11 i board, on. the repair program. It may take several thoutsand j dollars; to repair the building today, but in a few years it wbuld have deteriorated to an extenUbeyond -a. .I- 1 I repair.

produces painful and disturbing symptoms. These include nausea, vomiting, pressure under the ribs after eating, and trouble digesting fats, fried food, and “roughage.” If there is also a gallbladder infection, the person may have chills and fever. When a person has a stode that Is giving him no trouble, there is about a fifty-fifty chance it will never bother him. Many of these stones are discovered by X-ray examinations, in whiph an iodine dye taken into the bladder reveals the stones. The dye is usually taken the night before the examingtlon. Ninety-five per cent of >uch stones can be detected this way. { Severe Complications’ Gallstones can bring on very severe complications — jaundice, /serious infection, ruptured gall/bladder, and even cancer of the jgalihladder, although thisds rare. ;Lafge stones may cause liver disease occasionally. i To prevent all these serious /complications, most doctors believe gallbladders should be removed whenever stones are /found, unless there is some definite reason for hot performing ■bn Operation. With the high level Os present-day surgery, there is •no great risk in this type of operative procedure. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS \ t D. J.: Can rheumatic fever cause pleurisy? j Answer: Ohe of the f„requetat complications resulting from rheumatic fever is a severe/ form pf pleurisy. In this disorder, the formation of a great amount of fluid in the lining membranes of the lungs occurs, It mhy cause ' tevere shortness of breath and | discomfort.

CHAPTER TWENTY “GOOD morning, Miss Austen. Do take your things off and sit down.” Gamadge closed the office doors, and came back to find her luxuriously spread out in one of the deep chairs. | "I was Just walking Aby,” she said. ‘‘l dropped by. To hear whether you’d heard anything more about the dreadful thing that happened yesterday.” "Os course you’d be Interested.” Gamadge sat in the other chair and offered cigarets. He lighted one for her, observing with admiration that the fur coat had been changed today for a short fur Jacket of the newest cut that she had a little feathered hat to match, and that there were real topaz earrings on her ears. And on her fingers, as he noticed when she took off her glove. * “I can only stay a moment. How nice that detective was, wasn’t he?” \ “Yes, they’re getting a very promising lot in the force these days.” “Have they found out who the poor boy was?” “Not yet. They say over at the precinct that sometimes they never do manage to identify the victim.” “How very sad. I thought they had such wonderful ways now of tracing clothes.” “They may yet, of course. It’s a question of the right people reading the description or seeing his picture, or reporting to the police. If nobody cares»\ nothing happens.” “Well, at least two people have taken an interest. I saw the papers this and they said very little about it. Didn’t mention our names,” said Miss Austen, smirking at him. “Just the name of the gentleman who sent in the alarm for us.” “Well, they took his name at the precinct when he called in: had it on their files for the newspapers. We got away from the scene before the press arrived.” “Not a very interesting tragedy, I’m afraid. If he’d been a pretty girl, or somebody in the news, I suppose he’d have been all -over the front page for days. Columns and columns, arid more than you’d expect sometimes." Miss Austen philosophized, moving her hand to make her rings flash in the firelight: “Such odd people they sometimes choose to make a fuss over. Something catches the public interest, 1 suppose. What do they call it? An ‘angle’?’\ Gamadge did not reply; he \sat looking up at the picture like a man of stone: she waited for a few moments in surprise, then rose. “Well, I must be going. I really must.” Gamadge sprang to his feet. He ■- \ . / ■ 1

got Aby out from under the desk, shook hands, and said he supposed they hadn’t heard from Mrs. Austen. ' i “We should have let you know. If I’m right, that theory ’of mine, you remember, we ought 1 to hear on Monday morning.” > “She’ll certainly have to get in touch, or her lawyer will.” “Gray will die of it, I’m convinced of. that. We’re trying to persuade him to take a trip, I’m such a believer In travel as a cureall. But . . .” She shook her head. “Going to try New Brunswick?” Gamadge went out to the front doer with her. “I don’t’know.” Gamadge shut the door after her, and then stood looking at it. Clara came down the stairs. “What's upset you now?” she asked. I i . “I'm not upset. Miss Austen put ideas into my head, and they’re still whirling. But getting into a focus, getting into a focus." He was grinning at her. “I’ve been a blasted fooL” i\ “Henry! You remember about those books. I know you do.” “I remember about those books.” “What were they? What were they?" She had him by the front of the coat. “Just what Serena said they were. I got it by an association of ideas, and it’s for the record. Let me go talk to Nordhall.* “But I must know!” “Come with me and listen in.” But when he rang up, Mrs. Nordhall was not optimistic: "Mr. Gamadge, I don’t dare. He’S having his Sunday sleep. “Etta, it’s so urgent.” “Well, O. H., but he’ll be foaming." “Yell my name at him and then go off and hide somewhere." Nordhall came to the telephone, and he was put out indeed: “It had better be urgent,” he fumed. “You 101 l around all day, and I work all night.” “I went over to the precinct and looked at that boy.” “What of it ? Can’t you discover a homicide now without losing your head over it?” \ “I just thought I might be able to put you on to the killer, Nordhall, if you’ll help out a little.” “And I thought for once you told all.” Nordhall interrupted himself with a deep yawn; Gamadge was indignant. “Just because this lad wasn’t a. member of case society, you don’t take an interest.” v, “All right, make it interesting.” “Sit down, it’s a long story.” Gamadge put his elbows on the desk; Clara leaned over his shoulder. He talked for some time. After a while Nordhall began to make remarks, short and pointed. “C1 a r a’s listening,” said Gamadge, and went on

When he had finished, and Nordhall had commented, the latter spoke doubtfully: “TH put it up to them. But if he waited—” ' “Nordhall, we mustn’t wait.” ? “This will take some Ume; you can’t get such good co-operation Bundays.” i "Working through police yo'u ban, you know that.

You said you’d do anything I asked you.” ; “So I will.” • “I want you to go back to that house tonight." | There was a silence. | “Is it too much?” Gamadge’* Voice was gentle. “I know it’s a lot. But you won’t be there long, and they won’t lay a finger on you; and I’ll be outside with a policeman in a car, and so will Malcolm, I’m sure.” i Her own voice was faint: “Why must I go?” \ i “Just to pack a bag; you said you needed things." , | “They’ll try to keep me.” I “Not, on your life. You have friends waiting outside for you, you have a Job to go back to, and if they make a eow about it they’ll get in the papers. 1 know it’s tQugh, Rena, but I can’t get the evidence I want in any other way,’’ (To Be Continued) j ■ F : " !
