Checking Abdominal Pain May Prevent Comolications

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ! OVER 5,000 people die from appendicitis in the United States every jyear. 4 What does this mean? Not that an appendix operation Is “dangerous.” Today, with modern surgical <■ methods and antibiotic drugs, operations much more difficult than an appendectomy can be done with safety. V Most of these deaths are from appendicitis that was disregarded, or neglected until it developed complications. Problem for Doctor These deaths should tell us that any persistent pain in the abdomen is a problem for your doctor, and not for you to “doctor” yourself, with the idea that appendicitis isn’t dangerous. Certain people, it sterns, are predisposed to appendicitis attacks. Usually these are young adult males. The most common I ages are the teens, the ZO’s and the 3p’s. Appendlctls is infrequent after 40, but attacks have even been reported in personsSO years p <old. ; t Usually, appendlctls starts with a pain centered around the navel, , : but also spreading over the abdomen. The pain then becomes centered In the lower part of the right side. | _ Be Suspicious of Pain f People should not be lax about a pain in the lower right side, and think it is only a cramp, gas, ♦'period,” "indigestion, or bellyache. Pain in the lower right side should always arouse suspicion of I appendicitis attack until iffrbven otherwise. __ _

{ Approximately 5,500 letters each containing 100 Christmas Seals have been mailed in this community, to citizens in the annual drive against tuberculosis. The local Tuberculosis Association operates entirely from receipts of the sale of the stamps. Citizens ate asked to purchase the stamps so that the commendable work of the Association can go on. This is the Christmas season and you can use the stamps on envelopes or packages during the holidays. 4 o oA Edgar Speaks:— There are two ways of catching Commupists.

This is the employed at times in the past by the house committee on UnAmerican activities!, and by similar legislative committee in California. Which way is the more effective? J. Edgar Hoover should know and probably .does. He writes in a -current magazine . that he is strongly against the headlinemaking mode qf operation. He says: attacks, irrational tirades (and forceful oppression increase and do not decrease the menace of Communism, and result only •in making martyrs of the Communists.” ■ I - These) words should be taken seriously by Speaker Joseph W. Martin, dnd his associate leaders in Congress. The Committee on Um-American activities, like all other committees, will be reorganized because of the transTel, of control from Democrats to Republicans. Richard B. Vblde of Illinois, the, prospective new chairman, has in the past advocated the flamboyant method of holding hearings, Martin Dies of Texas, former chairman, has now returned to Congress after some years in private life and is said to be anxjous to regain his membership on ' the committee. If these two set. the policy, there will be much publicity', and if Hoover is right, no practical good. H\ Which is really wanted, personal advertisement or public ibenelitt

UsuiUly the person also has a nauseated feelifig; may vomit. Very often, however, he merely bus a loss of appetite. As a rule, appendicitis also causes constipation. Less often, it may bring a diarrhea. A doctor can usually make an exact diagnosis of appendicitis. To do this, he sometimes finds it helpful to test the blood and mike a bipod count. In appendicitis, the white blood count A is usually high, showing that there is ah infection. 1 , . Operation Usually Simple A neglected appendix can be fatal, or very disabling for weeks or months. If there is any doubt whether a. patient has an acute attack, it is better to operate. The operation is usually simple, and with the modern antibiotic drugs, relatively safe. & some cases, doctors can treat appendicitis medically with large dotes of penicillin and other antibiqtics. Usually, however, they prefer to remove the appendix when they suspect it is Infected. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. H.: I am a 14+year-old girl and have an excessively oily skin. Gould you please suggest some* thing for this condition? \ Answer: Oiliness of the skin Is a personal characteristic, that is, it varies in different Individuals. The exact cause of! such a condition is not known,. > You should wash your face frequently With a mild soap and warm water and occasionally with a warm borax solution.

The People’s Voice This column is tor the use of bur readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions of interest. No articles will be published without signature of the author. 0 — —< Replies To J. O. Let’s get one tiding stkaighj, Air. Sellemeyer, naturally you being a democrat, you’d take the opposite side which is your rights, thanks to. the Republican landslide we’ll still have those rights for the next fopr years at least.' When you state Eisenhower is tied up with a bunch of mavericks (meaning unbranded animals), such as McCarthy Jenner and Nixon., naturally these men are not branded with the Redis as the New Deal is. When you speak about woman suffrage,! it probably would be a good idea to do away with it, then Hairry wouldn’t have been able to have Margaret along on his whistle stops and make the people suffer as they did —listening to her. However, it’s still kny- rights. I don’t have to listen to her. Maybe "it would have been a very good thing to have had the League of Nations supported by the 'Republicans thep there wouldn’t have been such & thing as a gun to shpya but bring on the beans’ 5 and wall all] eat. When you speak of the fair editorials of the Democrat, Mr. Sellemeyer, if you don’t have glasses to read by, go out and buy a pair because brother, you sure need them. As for the griping, go ahead and gripe, you are only hurtipg yourself' Don’t worry you are no relative of mine, Poling is my married name, You speak about me being unreasonable. The editorial writers being your friends, you have a right to have your friends as I have mine but when I said, whoever writes the editorials for the Deipocrat is one rtf the lowest mud-slingers I would ever want to meet, I meant just that whether you like it or not. I also have a lot of Democrat friends as well as I have found thgt out from the phone calls and Utters I h av « received since the letter I wrote was published and I thank each and every one of them for being broad minded, that I can’t say about you. Good luek to.you Mr. Sellemeyer. L still say I’ll eat beans instead of seeing my son wade blood and maybe die for men like you. Theola Poling, s Master Drive. i i\ : ■ ' ' di Gives Her Viewpoint Many of your Republican friends may think a little less of you Mr. Sellemeyer for giving full sway to your emotions as you did in the Nov. 17th. issue of the Democrat. This, country was founded on the two party system and when a Democrat tells a Republican he’d better vote Democratic then there’s trouble afoot. As you may guess my are slightly different than your. But above the Republican or Democratic party. I place myself as an American citizen. Berating others and picturing them as fools won’t change the|r politics; it just makes them furious and they then believe more firmly in thlei|r own l>eliefs, right or wrong. If you want Theola Poling for a Democrat you’d better change your tactics. Truth is a very peculiar tiling. We believe only what we want to believe as truth. The things you say are mud slinging, the Republicans say are truths and vice versa. The only way to change another’s politics is by making them conscious of all available reading material concerning our government present and past. After they become thoroughly acquainted with the . facts they can more accurately pick out the truths. Possibly you don’t like that method, Mr. Sellemeyer, because . you’re afraid that the truth isn’t what you want it to be. I No League of Nations or United Nations will ever eliminate wars. If organized and run properly, they could possibly postpone them; but only the love of God in men’s hearts could altogether eliminate them. No organization as completely godless as the U. N. will ever bring peace Your enemies aren't Republicans, Mr. Sellemeyer, they’re communists and all other isms foreign to our constitution and they’re hitting blows that someday may Cripple us. You regard Senators McCarthy and Jenner as mavericks when actually they’re trying to awaken you and all sleeping Americans to this growing danger. Many optimists say that communism can never come to America; but it caine to Czechoslovakia. Poland and many others and we’re no better than they. Maybe you're not afraid of the future, but many have a longer future than you. Give those of the younger generation a break, they’re surely going to need it.
