. Seasickness Remedy Used To Aid PoSt-Operaiive Distress

By Merman n. bundesen, m.d. MANY a patient who requires an operation dreads the nausea and vomiting he expects when he “comes out of the ether.’’ In fact, if he has had a past experience of thiskind, he may have a definite fear of' a rather simple , opjeratiop. / Such Ipeople should take note ghat a seasickness medicine is now being used by doctors for nausea after anesthetics, and is' proving very effective. Perhaps you have taken pills of this drug, known-as dramamine, If you were ever bothered With car sickness or v seasickness. 7 • Results Good In one series of about 1,200 patients who tdok dramdmine when having operations, it was found that there were about half as many cases of vomiting as in an equal number who diid not take the drug. With certain types of anesthesia, the results wepe even better. Those who 4till experienced some nausea and vomiting found the condition was definitely less severe. In certain types of brain surgery. the drug Was also

highly effective against nausea and. vomiting. I Usually, this drug is given just before the person gobs to surgery, and is repeated immediately after surgery, then every fbur hours for about four or five doses. Formerly available only in pills, it ipay now be given by hypodermic injection as well. This is a great help to patient, who is most often asleep following surgerjr. p Except for a Slight drowsiness, ’ very few undesirable reactions have been reported from this ’ drug. However, its jexcelient effects far outweigh this slight difficulty, it is thought! :f \ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F. D. L.: What causes a persistent laryngitis? Answer: Persistent laryngitis, i may' follow a chronic case of i bronchitis. A dry atmosphere, ■ which is very dusty or smoky, may cause a chronic or prolonged » 1i laryngitis. However, If the conch- [ tion persists for three or four ; months, an examination of the vocal-cords should be Imade. to de- ‘ termine whether or not a stumor > or noduie is present, |'

! SYNOPSIS i Returning with his buddy Hal King to his home-town in California, Blaise I Rnndell finds his land conllscated. his I old sweetheart. Melanie, wed to another. He’d spent ten years in prison, framed on a ntufder charge. He means to cle a r his ifiame. Neighbors now peacefully settled as farmers, fesr range war, as Kandell stalks his old enemy and accuser. Leonis. Melanie still in love with Blaise, begs him to go away, jto begin life anew, elsewhere, but he remains hdamant. CHAPTER eight IT WAS still dark. Blaise tightened the cinch of the saddle. Lamplight lengthened Hal’s legs arid put! Paul’s sober fface in a weird half light. I Paul spoke. "‘Dawn before j long, and a clear d|ay. Wait’ll take you to Simi and hiring the horses back.’’ t*Let me ride on with ’em, Dad,’' Walt asked. Blaise cut in before Paul could reply. “Not this trip, son. Later, when there's more important work to do, we’ll call for ybu.” Paul lookeq thankfully at Blaise. "Only chance of trouble is beyond the pass,” he said, “between there and your rarich! ” Blaise made jan impatient Sound. "I’m against this. It’s like running from : Leonisj” \' "This ain’t running." Paul shook his head. "jNo use riding direct through Calabasas when you know Leonis will haVe his boys looking for you. This way, you’ll be On your owri land before Leonils can do anything about it.” "He’s Fight, Blaise,” Hal said.) "AIJ right! Let’s ride.” He swung up into the saddle and then leaned down, holding out his hand. “Thanks to yob, Paul, for putting us up." ' ' '' - I- r "No bother At aIL Glad to have you. Come around when you can.” “Not tor a while.” Patfl looked steadily up at him. "Melanie. You’ll get over it.” Blaise straightened. He nodded to Paul and touched his heels to the horse. The three men rode out of the yard. Their way joined the main east-west road at a small tillage that 'was no more than a store, a livery stable and a scattering of houses. Blaise made Inquiries and the three rode half a mile to the north. Blaise and Hal spent the next hour dickering for two saddle horses, plain saddles and bridles. >’ Wait watched glumly as Blaise Udjusted blanket and saddle on his new bay gelding. The animal was powerful and would absorb a great deal of work. Hal’s was a gray, almost the size of Blaise’s, i { • Walt lifted the reins, saluted and slowly turned his horse. He rode away, leading the two i extra mounts. "He’ll mrike a man,” Hal* said quietly. Blaise nodded. .!"'■■ “If there'd been more like him ten years back, things might’ve been different.” • Hal spftjte softly. “I have an idea there was. But somebody changed ’em.”' Blaise looked at him. "When did you learn to read my mind?” "From picking over my own,” Hal laughed grimly, “when there was nothing else to do but look at stone yzalls. Let’s head fori your ranch.” ' ’ \u - \

They mounted and rode eastward down the Valley. "Good to be living again,” Hal said. /1 “I’d almost forgotten how it was,” Blaise answered. In a little over an hour they came to another crossroads village. Ahead of them, pushing a huge rock barrier across the Valley, stretched a chain of yellow-rock mountains, bold and forbidding. A huge freight wagon stood before the store, the six horses lazily switching flies. They glanced at the store as they started to ride by, saw no one around the door or the huge wagon. Then suddenly the store door slammed like a pistol shot. “Blaise!” a roaring bull voice called. “Blaise Randell!” Blaise twisted around, his hand dropping to his holster. A man had jumped off the store platform and came running to them. Blaise’s face lighted. -j— ___ “Slim Starling!” He vaulted from the saddle as Starling came up. Big, Sinewy hands grasped Blaise’s shoulders and shook him. Slim stood a good two Inches over six foot, a handsome bear of a man with black, unruly hair and a flaunting hawk nose in a swarthy face. ' - “You old horse! 1 knew they couldn’t put you away for good! Hey! We got to have a drink for this one!” \ , , B•a i s o introduced Hal, who winced when the big man shook hands. Slim made a wide gesture. “This calls for plenty of powwow, Blaise. Where were you heading ?” "The old ranch.” "You’ll run smack into Leonis and he’ll try to trim you to size again. Leave him alone, Blaise.” "I’ve already run into him.” Blaise told of the meeting in Calabasas. Slim shook his head and led the way inside the store. There was a clear space in the back, room enough for a small table. Slim sat down on a box and told Blaise and Hal to drag up seats. He bought a bottle from the proprietor, opened -it and poured into tin cups. "To the old days—when there was spirit in this part of the country! The ol’d bunch,” Slim’s lips curled. "I don’t think there’s much of a man among ’em.” “Paul Case is getting old, the rest have scattered.” "Sure—but what about the others? I was as hard hit as any but I’d’ve stayed right on fighting Leonis if the rest would’ve stuck. We was raided a couple of times, but Leonis was finding jt too costly to keep it up.” "Was he?” "Some of his-boys was left both times and more carried bullet holes back with ’em.” Slim speared a thick finger at Blaise. "That was land open for filing, wasn’t it?” "Yes.” “And all of us filed legal, didn’t we?” “So far as I know.” \ “Then how could Leonis get away with what he did? I told

Q — Q [ Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE ik—,—,—: 1 Q. Is it good form to congratulate a girl Upon her approaching marriage? A. It is nos good manners to congratulate a prospective bride. She should receive your good wishes. "The prospective bridegroom is congratulated. The bride-elect’s' mother receives kind wishes from her friends. The! mother of the groomelect receives kind wishes and congratulations. In speaking with a young woman who has been recently married, one offers wishes for great happiness. Her husband is congratulated. Q. Does the person who does the pouring at a tea also put in the sugar, cteam or lemon? A. This i$ not generally done anymore. The person pours the tea into the cup and hands it to

Paul Case and Mark Davis to take our troubles to the U. S. Marshal, but they wouldn't . , leastways Mark said it was no use and the rest didn’t argue with him." ••That might have worked,” Blaise nodded. "Leonis gave you a legal bushwhack,” Slim continued. “Then I said that we could move into that high Box Canyon among the rocks of the Santa Susannas. You could hold off an army there, aqd we’d see that none of Leonis’s men or cattle roved the Valley range. Mark said that was crazy, and the rest fell in with him. Anyhow, they all moved out. I couldn’t fight Leonis alone, so I went along with ’em.” “To Conejo?” "Me farm! Slim Starling push a plow!” He grinned. “The drought came not long after and nobody run cows ahy more. I took to freighting. Been doing it ever since, between Gomez Station, Los Angeles, Fillmore and Buenaventura.” "Mark Davis swings a wide loop,” Hal said quietly. "Why?” Slim scratched his chin. “I don’t know—never did know. He could talk a badger out of his hole. He was right, he knew it, he told you, and you was a fool otherwise. It’d always make my hackles raise, but I never did nothing about it.” “You left land belonging to you,” Hal insisted. “Sure, but what good was it? How could we get anywhere when half the time we was fighting night riders and the other half we was watching for ’em ? That’s what Mark said —and he was right. We could get further by just letting Leonis have it He was right again, for the folks in Conejo have done real well. But 'll still wanted to stick on.” “That’s the way I felt,” Blaise said soberly. "And now I want, to go back.” F Slim twisted around and squinted out the door. •Til help you! I’m sort of wasting away in peace and quiet these days.” "But your job—” Blaise started and Slim’s roaring laugh checked him. ••When was X ever tied to any job, Blaise? I’ve got a load for Gomez Station and a return haul to f j Fillmore. When I finish, I’ll saddle a horse and ride over to see how you’re coming along. If you need me, I’ll stick around. If you don’t, I’ll ride back to Fillmore and freight again.” ••You’re asking for trouble,” Blaise warned Slim dismissed it with a wave of his hand. » "No more’n you, ranching right next to a man that hates you. I heard a rich jasper from the East has {bought up a heap of that mountain land. He don’t like neighbors close. You could lock horns with him.” "Who is he? Wh e r e’s his spread?” "Up in the hills somewhere close to your, old place. I heard his name’s Thatcher, but that’s all I know.” ■? (To Be Continued)
