Blocking of Lymphatic System Requires Prompt Medical Care

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. DISORDERS of the lymphatic ; system can lead to some very distressing and disabling maladies The lymphatic vessel? are probably less familiar to most people than the blood vessels, as the lymphatic fluid, pr lymph, is colorless and not easily recognized. It is carried in separate vessels somewhat like veins, which drain into the blood system. The lymphatic system is very Important in aiding digestion and fighting disease More Common in Tropies * The lymph vessels may also become blocked, like the blood vespaels. This is far more common in r tropical countries, where a type of small worm is apt to Invade the lymphatic vessels. When the lymph channels are obstructed in an arm or leg, the part becomes swollen, sometimes five or six times its normal size. . This is the condition called elephantiasis, a name that well describes the disease. Swelling due to lymph blockage may also occur from other infections, Injury following certain operations, bums, X-ray damage, allergies and blockage of lymph J flow by tumors. When scarring occurs, the blockage and enlargement may become permanent. Many Become Recluses Patients with lymph blockage are handicapped both physically and psychologically. It is very hard for many of them to get around and keepactive, and many become recluses. wuep jweUifi? first occurs, or

est churches of that denomination in the country. It is possible that many of us take dur interesting countryside for granted and often fail to publicize; sites and landmarks that are highly interesting to tourists and people in other counties. . •' ' I J V . Charles E- Wilson, the great industrialist and now the secretary of defense- in the Eisenhower cabinet, will not take kindly to criticispi that a congressman voiced aga|n!st his recommendation for a five billion dollar cut in the air force budget. With due respeet for his administrative and organization ability; Mr! Wilson is not accustomed to having his policies challenged by persons on the sideline. The California representative was so bold as to suggest that Mr. Wilson resign, which of cburse he will not do.’ His job will be -to convince congress that the air , force will not be harmed if the' budget is reduced. , ' / O —o— — W/7/ Talk It Over:— Some time next month President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Churchill and the new Premier of France will meet around a conference table to try to find away to meet their countries’ mutual problems. The conference was called at the invitation of President Eisenhower. In recent weeks there has been some evidence of -a lack of harmony between Britain and the United States. Rash talk by Sen. McCarthy' and Former Premier Attlee has magnified differences of opinion all out of proportion. The conference chn do a great deal to prove to Russia and our allies, that while the United States 1 ’ Britain and France differ on some points they are united in purpose, regardless of senatorial sniping. What the result of the conference will is difficult to predict. r Tt may be that a meeting with Georgi Malenkov of Russia will follow. Whatever else happens it , will provide am opportunity for r the leaders to exchange ideas and opinions on what can best be done ' to pj eserve the peace without yielding to the Communists.

in very mild cases, H is helpful if the affected arm or leg is giver good support and raised highei than the rest of the body at frequent Intervals This treatment must be continued for a lonf enough time and not given uj quickly Advanced cases, when swelling due to lymph blockage has been present many years, represent a difficult problem. Ingenious Operation It Is now possible, however, to correct this condition by an ingenious operation The skin is first lifted off the arm or leg by a special instrument. All the diseased lymph tissue beneath the skin is then removed. The skin is finally regrafted qn the limb, and the graft usually heals very well. With this method the disabled person can often become active again, and the swelling does not return. Blocking of the lymphatics is more common than most persons realize.-It is a condition which requires prompt attention. QUESTION AND ANSWER F. I: My child has wry-neck. What can be done about it? Answer: When an individual holds his head on one side constantly, the person is said to have a wry-neck, or torticollis. Usually • the- muscle on one side of the neck is shorter than on the other side. The treatment for this type of torticollis is an operation ih wh! Ji the shorter muscle is cut and a east is put on for one or two months to hold the head in the P?9Pej PQfiUop.

What is the proper length of time between the announcement of an engagement and the wedding? A. There is no definite rule of etiquette regarding this, and' the length of time would naturally depend upon circumstances.

CHAPTER TWENTY IT WAS ail set up, of course, the cab driver was briefed and ready to finger me. But he cleared his throat, and stared at me, frowning. Tentatively, he said, “Say Mister, aren’t you the guy I—” Hogan slammed fist down on his desk. “Speak up,” he said. “Well, he could tell me if he was the guy," the driver said, with an injured look at the lieutenant “1 told you to give me a yes or no," Hogan said, rising and striding up to the driver. “You trying to get cute with me?” k “No, nonest 1 ain’t” “What’s all this about?” I said. Hogan said to the cabby, “Get out of here,” and walked back to his desk. The driver looked around as If he’d mislaid something, then shuffled out of the room. Hogan stared at me, his eyes bright with anger. “You can go. too, wise guy. But let me tell you something; ( keep out of our way. If you gqt any ideas about doing police work in this town, forget ’em. You’ll think you backed into a buzz-saw if you don't. Got that?" “Sure, I’ve got iL” “You stick in town till you hear from me again.” “All right, I’m not going anywhere." “On your way, wise guy.” Devlin took me down to the streeL “You missed a story In that paper," he said. “Yeah? Which one?" “The one about Jane Nelson’s brother. The kid named Bob. He took the gas-pipe. They found him In his home this’morning, head in the oven." "A sex crime, eh?” “What do you mean?” “That’s what they said about his sister's death.” “You’re a cute guy.” I looked at him, and let him see the unfriendliness in my face. "I’m a mad guy,” I said. “You heard Hogan. Don’t play around with our business." "What is your business?" "Beat it, wise guy.” He caine up close to me. his eyes and face mean. “1 said beat iL” He was carrying his right hand at his side, knotted into a fisL I grinned at him, knowing he’4 swing. He brought his right fist up in an upper-cut, but 1 turned sideways, flattening my arm against my body. His fist exploded on the point of my elbow—and the point of an elbow is nothing to hit with your bare fist He groaned and backed off from me, shaking his hand quickly. “An old pug taught me that” I said. “Beat it Beat it fast, wise guy.*! 1 I smiled at him, to add to his troubles, and walked away. In my room 1 looked out the windows. I spent a good little while at iL I could see a patch of sky, darkening now, and the blacker mass of a cloud that looked no larger than a man’s hand.

Place the rug flat on several layers of newspapers. Apply the hot dye with a scrub brush. It is better to deepen the original shade of the rug rather than attempting to change the color. Fat It is not always necessary to use fat for frying foods. Simply rub the skillet 'with common table salt, then shake it out and put in the meat to be fried.

almost tne color of the cloud; 1 could make out the cloud only by looking away and then glancing quickly toward the place I’d last seen it That way I could pick it out for a second or two before it faded into the sky. It was a relaxing game, fight on mind and body. I realized that the passive end of my problem was solved. Now 1 knew what to look for; the men who ran the city's dope racket. They had killed Janey. They had also fiilled the big man named Marshall, but that was someone else’s headache. And they had killed Janey's brother, as surely as if theyjd sapped him and stuck his head ih the oven. They’d built up a craving tn him that he couldn’t fight against; unless it was satis-\ fled he was on his way to a nut house. Thai had prompted his suicide. Janey had been his bankroll, his touch. With ner gone the money was gone, and so was the I dope. And so, like lots of people, old. middle-aged and young, he’d taken the easy way out. It was easier than fighting the dope habit... 1 had an early dinner, and caught a cab out to Janey's apartment My grip was still there from the night I’d arrived, and 1 needed fresh linen, and extra suit But most of all 1 needed the thirtyeight \with black handgrips that was waiting for me, oiled and clean, in the elastic compartment with my shaving equipment 1 still had the key Janey had given me in Philadelphia, the key she’d bet me five bucks I’d never use. There was no trouble getting in; the police detail had been pulled off the day befofe. I closed the door of her apartment behind me and stood for a few seconds in the dark, noticing the faint traces of her perfume that lingered in the room, and feeling an intense disappointment that I couldn't call her name, and expect her to answer in that clear rising voice that always seemed close to laughter. There was a rectangular shaft of light coming in the window; it fell across her desk and touched the soft gray carpeting. I hadn’t thought of checking through ner things until this minute, but it seemed like a good idea. 1 walked toward her desk, bift halfway there a sound brushed my ears, the merest whisper of a footfall, and I stopped and looked carefully into the shadows beyond file shaft of moonlight. I saw nothing and heard nothing. | The room was still, except for the slightly faster stroke of •my own heart 1 started to turn, and then 1 heard it again, the soft footfall on the carpet, and 1 knew it was too late to turn; the footstep was behind me, and, as I wheeled and swung my arm around in a back-hand sweep, 1 heard another sound, a sound like a swift wUu>peruig abevs my head, and

then the object that made that noise struck down against my left temple and 1 went sluggishly to my knees, lighting a weakening tide of darkness and pairn There, was a bristling surface against my cheek, and 1 knew 1 had gone down al] the way, full length on; my stomach. 1 opened one eye and saw a tweed trouser leg and a brown oxford, moving through the. light, away from me toward the door. 1 kicked out desperately ana felt the tip of my shoe connect with yielding flesh. There was a soft, gasping mban: J came to my knees and tried |to\geit up. Then the root tell in on pie, and 1 knew the pain and darkness would take an uncontested decision this time .. ,\i When 1 came around I was lying on my face, and there was a sharp driving pain that started above my left eye and extended down to the base oi my neck. 1 could see nothing tor a while* and then, without moving my nead, 1 became aware of a thin edge of light running from the floor to the ceiling. It mysUflea me tor a full minute. Then 1 realized that the front door wasn’t closed, and that the crack oi light came from the corridor. This was an accurate but useless deduction, 1 realized. ? f I was trying to get my hands under me to lift myself to rpy knees, when 1 saw that something had blocked out more than half of that streak of light For an instant I couldn't figure it out; but as the crack began to widen 1 realized what was happening. Someone else was entering the apartment I saw thte light from the corridor widen at the top of the door, a blackness cross it and then the door closed slowly; the light disappeared, and the click of a lock sounded in the stillness. 1 was lying just outside the rectangular shaft of light that touched the carpet—probably invisible to anyone just entering the dark room from the lighted corridor. I held my breath as soft footsteps crossed the carpet toward the desk. The feet moved into the. pool of light near my head, and stopped there irresolutely. 1 was looking at a pair of black ankle-strap sqndals, and slim tanned legs that gleamed like silver tn the soft moonlight 1 was close enough tc see the initials on a golden ankk bracelet, and the fine blonde hair on the legs. One toot began to move, and | moved at the same time, lifting myself slightly and snaking ar arm around both slender ankles. Sh § ga sped in fright, and then dropped on me, driving her knees into my back, hissing now like an angry cat 1 grabbed for her wrists with one hand: my other arm was still wrapped around her legs, and for a few seconds 1 was at an awkward 1 missed one of her wrists with my free hand, and the next instant her nails were clawing savagely at my eyes.
