An. Aid to Spinal Anesthesia

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IN times and conditions not so long past, the best anesthetic known was a stunning blow, or a large dose of whiskey. Not so today, for there are many types of anesthesia that a person can have when going through an operation or the delivery of a baby. , j One of the types most frequently used for difficult operations is spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia is very advantageous to use in many cases because it causes great relaxation of the muscles, thereby giving the physician an y easier field in which to work. No Lung Irritation The dangers of vomiting that occur with inhalation anesthetic agents are greatly decreased with spinal anesthesia, and there is no irritation ,to the lungs. This method is also used many times for persons who have colds or upper respiratory Infections. In inhalation anesthesia with either ether, cyclopropane or some other drug, treater eare must be taken to prevent the development of a lung complication than with spinal anesthesia. Loss of feeling is achieved by introducing a needle into the spinal canal and, through this needle, withdrawing spinal fluid and replacing it with an anesthetic agent' which deadens the ' — nerves in the spine. It thus gives relief of pain over the area where the nerves are paralyzed. ; One of the serious problems

Harry Byrd of Virginia evidently convinced the senate that tljie national debt limit should not be hiked. The Virginian hik figures and lias a wealth of information on government financing. He contends that tax collections during the next four months , should keep the Treasury in balance, since it has a balance of some nine bilfions. In his argument against Presi-. dent LEiseahoWer’s request to increase the debt limit. Sen. ityrd reminded his colleagues that: Those who contend that a limitation by congress on the national -debt is an arbitrary action should be reminded that every state? imposes a debt limitation on its cities and towns and manyj cn its' counties. This debt limitation is usually 18 percent of the| assessfed value of real estate. The total assessed value of real estate in the U. S. is $143 billion,; as compared to dur existing debt of $272 billion. The senator won Stoic point. — Q.t..— -.0 | Looking Backward:— Some elections fa |lie United States have turned on rMigibus issues, with (bad effect, so miny Americans note with regret that the iMohammedan religion is becoming a political issue in Tar-, key. When iMUstapha Kemal .Ataturk became dictator in 1923/he felt that Turkey most modernize or die. He abolished the caliphate, by Which the Turkish sultan was the official head of Mohammedans everywhere even UH I though they often did not follow him.' He prm ided a public edulution. system. substituted the Western alphabet for the 'd'ificul^ ‘Arabic script which ill fitted Turkish language, dropped the Moslem calemlar for oil’s, abolished polygamy, and liberal id These reforms, plus others in government and econqiniCH, made Turkey c living stitte instead of a dying one. Now a movement toward relction has stirred up the peasants to demand a return to the q’J cays. Going backward will bene- . fit no modern state, least of All Turkey. I '

connected with this procedure Is the severe headache which follows the operation in many cases, due to the spinal anesthetie. Up to the present, little satisfactory treatment has been found, although it Is believed that the headache is due to the leakage of the spinal fluid from the site where the puncture was made. It has been theorized that if a "sufficient amount of extra spinal fluid could be produced to replace the amount lost due to leakage, there wouldn’t be a headache problem. '■ Alcohol and Sugar It has been shown that giving alcohol mixed with a sugar solution into a vein following the use of spinal anesthesia and after the operation has been completed, causes the centers of the brain that produce the spinal fluid to give off more fluid. Thus, the loss is replaced and the headache eliminatedThis alcohol solution is given slowly. Recently, it was tried on a group of patients and results were excellent in almost all of them. Not only does the preparation serve to eliminate the headache, but it also acts to relieve the pain and liven up the spirits of the patient following question and ANSWER - J.P.S.: Does eating eggs cause f hardening of the arteries? Answer: There is no evidence that eating eggs causes hardening of the arteries.

' SYNOISIS Barton, an able young buslnesH, executive.- had been inconsolable since the death as his teen-age son. Tiin. Nothing that friends or family did or said seemed to help him. He had sought escape in drink, and that having failed him he* was determined now to seek some woodland abode where he might fight out this, battle of self, alone. It was all very amicably ag-eed between him and his devoted wife. Emily. She would accept a iob that had been offered her. one that would take ner off to Europe during her husband's absence from home. So we find David Barton now, living the hermit life at an abandoned campsite In the eastern sector of our north woods. Here his handful of neighbors welcome him in thteir hearty rural manner, with the yodng Rogers boys. Joe and Herb, calling at his cabin, offering to help with' chores; Watching them scamper about tills Barton once with that all-consuming sense Os terrible loss and grief. - CHAPTER TEN FROM the letters facts emerged. At the time Emily wrote she had secured her.passage, for this side of tnid-October.' She gave him an address which 'would reach her. She was well and busy. “Pete is giving me my shots. I’ll be in London first and after that, I think Greece." She added: “I don’t know how to answer your hotter. I only hope you’ll find what you are looking foifj. Daye. When you do —and even if you don’t—and we are together again we eanr'perhaps talk. yVe never have, really.” George wrote that Em was fine, and business booming. "Everyone is curious about you.” The letter was hard to read, George had long been a stranger to longhand. “I tell people what I can. Maria, of course, keeps after me, she says there’s got to be an explanation. I tell her Dave knows the answers, so what if we don’t? There’s gossip/ naturally, with Em kiting off in another direction. I say as little as possible. I wish you’d phone, Dave. I’ve wanted to call you but thought better of JL If you wanted to talk to me, you would.” r Newton had written. He said he’d been down with flu. “Football’s in full swing. Classes are going great guns. Here and there, an embryo scholar. I’ve given some thought to your books arid they’ll be along. Make use of them, Dave. Meantime, God bless you. He will, you know, whether or not you care —or ask.” The boys came in and Dave said casually: “I haven’t seen a paper, I’ve lost track of time. When does the hunting season open ?" “Twenty-first for rabbit and squirrel, a week from tomorrow. Bear ana deer, the 25th,” Joe said. Outlanders were queer, this one especially, but the covered typewriter on the little table might account for that. “Remember, you got to have a license,” he warned. “Do you really get bear?”

' The Rogers came—the father at anj' time, the boys in late afternoons. Hank came one evening, sending him a message by- Cas, arid they had supper, smoked and talked. Hank drank some beer and had something to say about the 1 World, its drive toward destruction, and the kids he’d brought into it. Sometimes he asked himself, Why ? For what ? 1 "Still and all, they got to take their chances. It’s for better or worse. I don’t do much churchgoing but it seems that if I pray a lot it will be for better. Way I look at it is whatever has to happen, to be given life—even if it gels rugged—is a good deal, Dave.” i Dave spoke abruptly. He had never thought to say this to anyone up here. He said it without thinking. “My boy died,” he said. There was shock in the other man’s eyes. “How old was he, Dave?” he asked. "Seventeen. He was in school. It was”—he swallowed remembering the calendar—“about a year ago.” “I can’t say anything except I’m terribly sorry. You’ve other children ?” \ "No.” ' Hank thought: So that’s it He said: “Tough, bringing up a kid, watching him grow and then—” He looked at Dave and stopped. He said: “I can understand, in a way.” j■ - * F' They all said that They couldn’t understand. ! - \ > Dave nodded. He said: ’Thanks.” “Sheila,” Hank said, “she’s four. Maybe I told you?

T know you have work to do, but any time you’d like to scram out of here and be with people, for aq long or short as you like, Louise and I would be glad to see you at the house.” “I’ll take you up on that Hank. You won’t be sore if. I say maybe not for a while?” He tried to smile, deeply Regretting that he had spoken of Tim. Then it cama to him suddenly that he had crossed another obstacle. For he’d spoken of him when he need not, to someone who hadn't known of his existence. “J’ve a 'f eel in g that like other animals/ I’ll hibernate this winter. fc)are say in the spring I’ll emerge.” "W i t h a boo k,” Hank said heartily.

POLIO MESSAGE TO PARENTS GAMMA GLOBULIN—-1953 1. What Is gamma globulin? Gamma globulin is the part of human blood that contains diseaseJfightfng antibodies. It has been used for many years to combat measles and infectious hepatitis (jaundice). In 1952, March of Dimes scientists proved it to be an effective but temporary preventive of cirippling caused by polio. 2. Can children get gamma globulin (GCJ) for polio this summer? i . GG is in extremely short supply. There wilj be only about one million doses of GG available from now to September. There are about 45,000,000 children and adolescents in the age groups most likely *to get polio. 3. Who will get gamma globulin this summer? The supply will probably be used in areas where the greatest number of cases occur. Most likely public health officers working with private physicians will administer the. gamma globulin. - 4. How will gamma globulin oe distributed? 1 The Office of Defense Mobilization (OIIM), a governmental agency, is solely responsible for the distribution of the nation’s supply of gamma globulin the state and territorial health officers. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has no gamma globulin. 5. Can we buy GG? You should be able to buy it anywhere. See your doctor. If it is possible for ycur child to have GG, it will be allocated to him through the health officer. There will ,be no charge fop this GG. A private physician, however, may charge for his ser vices in giving it. All, commercially produced GIG made -blood other than that donated to the Red Cross, is being purchased for the nation’s stockpile by the National Foundation an estimated cost qf $11,000,000 jin March of Dimes funds. 6. Why is it necessary to control all gamma globulin? It| has been hhoutn to be effective against threje diseases— Measles, infectious hepatitis, and polio—and there h ; not enough (»G available to treat all people who might get thise diseases. Nor do manufacturers have enough equipment to increase production of GG year. By placing all GG In ohe stockpile, it will be possible to prevent the maximum amount of disease with the limited supplies oh hand. . 7. What’s being done to get most use out of GG supplies? Effective use qf GG in 1953 is based On .the ftollowiqg 3-point program: 1. Gathering of. kll available GG supplies into i national stock!pile; ( . J 2. Allocation of gG to’persons and areas where it will be most effective; / { 3. Teiimwork by Jiealth authorities. physicians, [mbliic am! priv.ate agencies, and BY YOU AN!) YOUR to \ assuie community understanding and avoid unreasonable' qemands for gamma globulin. ’ i 8. How much blood does n take to make one G.G shot? - 1 One pint of yields just about the amount needed for an average GG polio-shot. The same pint furnishes seri m albumin for; the treatment of wounded ser-. vicemen. 9. What’s the (inference be-* tween GG and a polio vaccine? GG gives protect on (about five weeks) by providing polio antiabodies which fight against paralysis. : y I A vaccine- —composed of a . all three of the different polio viruses treated so as to render them nort-infectldus—will cause the body to produce its own antibodies which should last much longer. Polio vaccines are still in the experimental stage. No vaccine will be available for widespread use during the coming polio season. 10. If we can’t get GG, t what can we do to protect our children? Pay attention to gefod health rbles and precautions recommended by; bealtli authorities and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis: 11 Don't let children mix with new groups. 2. Or get overtired. 3. Or get chilled. 4. But DO keep t lem clean. (And consult your doctor if these symptoms appear: headacke, fever, sore throat, upset- stomach, stiff neck or back.
