Non-Surgicol Treatment Can Often Relieve Disk Rupture

By HERMAN N. BVNDESEN, M.D. I HAVE discussed ruptured intervertebral disks several times in the past, as many people send questions and comments about possible operations. Operations are required In serious cases of ruptured disk, or those which cannot be helped by other methods. However, nonsurgical treatments can relieve and permanently cure many cases. Particularly with ruptured disks of the lower back, the vast majority do not require operative treatment. Try Treatments First Doctors will usually try other treatments before advising an operation. Formerly, surgery was considered proper in most eases, "but we have found that many people suffer the same pains and symptoms after an operation as before. The cause of a ruptured disk is a tear in thfc ligaments surrounding the disks between the bones of the spine. Most people know that these bones, the vertebrae, support the weight of the body and must have a good deal of mobility for bending and twisting, The disks are like pads of a material somewhat similar to cartilage, or jeHy, and permit this movement freedom. Presses on Nerves An injury, or over-strenuous *Y*rrlse, can squeeze out some of

Naturally, > the men resumed work, proving , that there is no freedom or bargaining rights fer workers under Communism. * . ■’; ■ 1' I I '' J. ~~ ' ; .. —o -• Four motorcycle riders were killed on Indiana highways in two days. Motorcycles are speedy vehicles of transportation and serve a good purpose for those who operate them, but on our heavily traveled highways the two day death toll shows they are a hazard. We do not know if riders trdvel thepe highways at night, but it would seem that they endanger 'themselves in the long lines of truffle that flow through the country after dark, | o o < Power Struggle:— The U. 3- News and World Report carries a reprint of an article by Bertram D. Wolfe, an expert on affairs inside Russia. The article helps to explain the recent upheavel which has resulted in the arrest ’ and denunciation of Laverenti Beria, former chief of . the Red secret pedice, as aj. spy and a traitor. When Stalin died JWalenko4 had a head start in the race for power. Beria while still not out of the picture, was definitely a dark horse. The Russian press began a campaign to glorify Malenkov, the same technique it had used to make a living legend of Stalin. After a tim£, however, the names of Beria and Molotov began to appear as frequently and\ prominently in the papers as did Malenkov’s. But in the years that he had spent as Stalin's disciple and as a powerful force in the Commas nist Party. Malenkov had learned , all the tricks necessary to unseat his rival. Party agents were strategically placed in the army and “in Beria’s own secret police organization. k 1 The significant point made in the article is the fact that a policy of succession to power in totalitarian state is impossible. In a democracy, evep in an absolute monarchy, there are definite rules which say shall succeed the chief of state upon his death. In a dictatorship, with no system ot succession, a struggle for power is inevitable. In the past this has led |to the downfall of absolute states. It nm| agairi.

this jelly-like material through a tear in the ligaments, so it presses on the nerves and gives much pain. Sometimes, this can even happen for no reason that can be discovered. Then the tear tends to grow wider, like a split in a tire. Usually, the symptoms are severe back pains which may go down the back of the leg to the heel. The person’s reflexes are sometimes altered, too, and there may be certain changes in the sensory nerves that give feeling in the foot. Occur at Any Age Most ruptured disks occur in the lower, Or lumbar, spine, but a small percentage also occurs in the neck. They can occur at any age. CC-raya are sometimes helpful in making a diagnosis and locating the rupture. This Is necessary in case an operation is necessary, which should be done only when medical treatment has failed. Usually, rest on a firm mattress or on bed boards between mattress and spring will help. Sometimes putting the person to bed and using a device to stretch the muscles in the legs is of help. Muscle-relaxing drugs, such as tolserol, have also given relief in some reported cases. QUESTION AND ANSWER E. B.: Are desensitizing shots against hay fever of any value? ; Answer: Yes, they are deflnitel ly of great vaJue.

’ CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX I MADE for my refuge in the little writing room. My Head felt too heavy for my neck, and 1 rested it against the side of Ute chair into which 1 had flopped. ... My thoughts trailed off into an irritating fuzziness. I tried to raise my hand to rub my eyes, and- was horrified to find that 1 could not lift it. 1 forced my heavy lids open a tiny crack, and saw the outline of a near-by lamp waver and coalesce as if I had been looking at it through water. Suddenly illumination flashed on me. 1 had been drugged. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes again was the little traveling clock on my dresser, with the hands pointing to three. So 1 was in my room—and this gave me a vague sense of relief, although 1 could not say why. I moved, and Dr. Randolph bo n t over me. 1 wondered what he was doing there. Then behind him 1 saw Robert's face, contorted with worry. 1 knew that thia was good. Memory began to return. “Pulse is strong now,** Randolph said. “She will be all right** 1 knew that l oad to ask a lot of questions. •Robert?” 1 said, and felt that I had begun. Randolph’s piercing gray eyes bored into me. “Why did you do it Ginger?” “Tea,” I answered like a doormouse. “Try to make sense, Virginia,” Robert said gently. “Todd," 1 replied, as if that explained everything. Robert went on asking questions and it seemed to me extraordinary that he should be so slow to understand. “Drugged,” I said slowly. v' “Yes, of course, but did you take it yourself or did someone give it; to you?” “No, no.” I went to sleep. When I roused again, I felt ■ pretty good. A woman tn a flowing green dressing gown was going through my dresser drawers. I switched on the reading light. "Hello, Carlotta.” She turned and smiled, closed the drawer with languid insolence and crossed to, the bed. “I came tn to see how you were. Why did yop do ft. Ginger?" “Do what?” I asked warily. "Try to kill Todd and Macbeth.” I could only stare at her incredulously, and she went on with her evil little smile. “It was clever of you to take some yourself. But of course you didn't fool anybody. We all know that you did it. Todd came around enough to tell us about your tea party.” I remember pressing myself against the bulkhead in an effort to get as far away from her as possible. This must really be a dream. I could not be awake and hearing such things. “What could uncle have found out about you that made Robert so NUiOUS to sUegM him V”

My throat ffelt paralyzed, and I could hear my own heart poundipg in my ears. '■] ••Macbeth Just died," Carlotta said. "1 was there. I have been helping Randy nurse them. We think the captain will head for port now. He’s nad enough. He’s going to charge you, as well as your husband. We ail know that you were on deek when Opdyke was shot. You'd better make a full confession if you want to save your Robert.” She got up then and went out, making no noise. 1 got up and began to dress. I had nearly finished when the door opened and Robert came in. At the sight of me standing on my feet, his face blazed with joy, and I flew into his arms. We had so much to tell and to explain, but at first there was no time for it. When at last, still holcfing me close, be sat down on the bed beside me, 1 wanted to know first of all how he had managed to escape from behind that terrible steel door. "Handcuffs!" Robert said, . and be laughed. "I could wnggle out of them by the time I was twelve. It is only a matter of muscular control and of small bones. Mine are thin. But the door gave me more trouble. In spite of being one of the best lock pickers in the Commandos, that door almost had me .beat." The doctor had told him. aboiit the tea. Apparently Todd and Macbeth were discovered, out cold, still sitting at the table when Brown at about eight got l too hungry and went to find some food for Lisa. He notified the doctor and. the captain when he found he could not rouse them, and everything was done that could be done. Macbeth died just before dawn, but Todd had a chance to recover, although he was still pretty sick. So far as Robert knew, only Randolph, Brown, and Lisa among the passengers were aware of his escape. He had not seen the other two women. Randolph had told him that the captain seamed stunned by the death of Macbeth. He had been unable to accept it, and had gone on trying to rouse her for half an hour after the doctor told" him it was useless. Randolph thought that now he could be persuaded to give up this mad cruise. “1 don't know that this will do you and me any good,” I said pessimistically. J "It will be better than this,” Robert told me. “What are you going to do now?” "Just at this moment, you and I are going to the galley and eat the heartiest breakfast we can cook up.” i His coolness amazed me. "But shouldn’t you hide? The captain will arrest you again, according to what Carlotta said.” Robert shook his head. "1 don’t think so. The captain knows I did not do it.” “What maktt you think sol*

"Because fie knows who did. And so do L There is only one person it could be.” . I I looked at him with my mcgith open. He really was an amasng man. **Then why don’t you sall everybody and put a stop to thi|?" Robert gave me a strange idok. "It wouldn’t do any good,” he sfud. "And besides, 1 rather hope I niay never have to tell it. But som< people are getting rattled. Things will break soon, I believe. Meanwhile, we had best play out the nand.* The galley was empty when we got there,, but before long the other passengers arrived. 1 could tell from the astonishment on Qariotta’s face that she really had |tot known of Robert’s freedom. Apparently she, and the doctor did hot tell each other everything. S The sun shone relentlessly I|< a sky of pitiless blue, the q u tje t water sparkled like a paving, of sapphire.

She Sat too quietly, making no scenes,t asking no questions, offering no comments. Now and then she ihivered Like a nervous animal, and large tears ran silently down her cheeks. Her grief had a quality of the ultimate despair. She ate what dius given her without comment. Her world had gone entirely out of direction, and she waai helpless i|o cope with it. il Lisa too had changed, but tafia different way. She had dropped her guard at last, and was not trying to do much about anything. Brown bounced around her like s cordial hippopotamus. She noticed my look of surprise, and laughed. “You had better explain to them, Frederick. I find it positively shymaking.” si' "Lady Tremaine will do me the honor of marrying me,” he announced. ■ Randolph whistled. "Most intdresting. A perfect example of the catharsis of the confessional.” g "Why don’t you try It?” Brown snapped. On Impulse, I jumped up and kissed Lisa on the crumpled check- " Come now, my dear. Tm old for such a fuss,” she protested, but her eyes rested on Brown with something suspiciously like fondness. gBrown cleared his throat again. "It seems extraordinary thdJt our happiness should be fructified outof such disasters. True it is, that out of evil good may come.” This was a little too much X<fr any of us to bear. .) * "Why don’t you wait until we get ashore alive ?• Randolph asked. “I’ll tender my congratutatloeis then.” - !- Gay gave a sob.

Polio Incidence Is Reporteq Climbing Begin Inoculations In Illinois Today « By UNITED PRESS The first of 13.000 children lined up for injection* of antlpollo serum and lollipops in central Illinois today as public health experts revealed that the incidence of infantile paralysis was climbing. Eleven ; clinics Were opened in Decatur, 111., and surrounding Macon county to administer mass inoculations' of gamma globulin, blood derivative believed to provide temporary immunity to the crippling effects of polio. The 18th case of the year in Macon county was reported Thursday night ,on the eve of the injections. There have been three deaths in tho area. Meanwhile, in Catawba county, N. C., ff the last of an estimated 14,000 children were inoculated Mith gamma globulin. It was the third southern community to participate in large scale injection programs this year. ( , L The V. S. public health service at Washington, D. C., revealed that 4,112 polio cases have bhenV reported since the ‘4>olio season” began last spring. The figure represented a 2 percent Increase over the same period in 1952. However, a "high proportion” of the 1953 cases are non-paralytic, the service said. During the mass injections at Macon ebunty and Decatur the 100,000th American child to receive gamma globulin will be inoculated. The shots there are expected to be completed Saturday with the help of 1.3000 volunteers. Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, reaffirmed the foundation’s, plans to make a test of a new. unnaiiied polio serum that may provide actual, long-term immunity,. About t. 250,000 children will be included in the test, starting next fall, O’Connor said at Cincinnati. O. Half will receive the vaccjne and half a neutral "control” sluhstan<e and their health records compared a year later. Southern health officials feared that the polio outbreak in Catiw■ba county anti other areas ; in North Carolina had spilled oyer into adjacent Tennessee after'l6 cases were reported in Carter county.
