A Result of Migraine Attacks

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. , Hallucinations have iongi been thought by many to be the private property of the mentally disturbed. And, most commonly, . this remains true. ’ 4 . f However, hallucinations can occur in mentally normal persons. These are frequently seen following severe migraine headii- aches. 4 By definition, to see something that is not normally there,' to imag ne an object in a different shape or form than it actually exists, to hear something that ‘ do js npt exist, or to sehse or perceive anything not objectively red is known as an hallucination. Distorted Body Images Kot only may the person Buffeting from' migraine complain abjut blurred vision, fleeting forms, and spots before his eyes, but he may imagine or actually sei a distortion of body images. Th ere may at times be distortions of certain parts of the body Which i ’ bloom out and swell in unnatural I ways. A good example occurs when the person will have the impression that his head, or someone else’s head, Is floating far above bin neck. He may even feel compelled to hold it down, so strong ( ar b these hallucinations. |. Dwarfed Sensation preceding migraine attacks

A ’ • President Eisenhower made several timely remarks in his address at Catholic University of America, where he received an honorary doctor of laws degree. Speaking informally, the Presi- , dent stressed spiritual and moral . values, stating, “Those who seek •peace in terms of military strength alone, are doomed to end up in the; agony of the battlefield”. The! 1 President also said that any peace to be enduring must be built on the understanding of the character of men. He said it was man’s desire to live in peace. 0 0 Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey indicates that he Will reverse Republican policy in regards to government financing. He intends to ask congress to boost the debt ceiling and to operate the government on a deficit basis. By adding ten billions to the national debt,* the interest charge will be hiked which in itself will not lower operating costs. The budget will not be balanced next year and the Treasury will\ # continue to borrow money to pay its bills. Andrew Mellon had a different approach on financing and Was able to cut expenses and taxes at the same time. » .0-1— o—, Pol! Tax System:— Tennessee has to repeal the poll tax system. Recent legislation had made it inoperative for primaries, which are apt, to be more important than elections in the one-party south. The present Vot,e . ensures, however, that the tax cannot be restored, as it was by a state supreme court de-' cision some years ago after the ' legislature had repealed it. South' Carolina repealed hers in 1950, leaving now only Alabama, Arkansas. Mississippi. Texas and Virginia as states which thus restrict voting. As the new governor of Virginia was .elected on a stand in favor of the tax, .this state is not likely to abolish it in the near future. Ostensibly meant \to keep Negroes from voting-, it bars out\ poor whites also. When Georgia repealed the tax, the number of registered voters jumped from 17 per cent to two thirds of the state. Obviously the tax is a serious deterrent to exercising the fundamental duty, of citizenship. \as . well as an aid to political .machine control. ’

I some persons may have the feel- ! ing that they have shrunk to less I than half their size, while others feel about twice their normal size. This'disease is known as migraine hallucinations and is more common than is believed. Many persons will not admit to it because of the tendency to associate hallucinations with insanity. The diary of Lewis Carroll, author of ’“Alice in Wonderland,” reports that he was a sufferer from migraine headaches. Since the imaginative sequence of Alice through the looking glass is similar tp many of the type of hallucinations described above, I often wonder if many of the dcscliptions he wrote about might not have been pictured by him following a migraine attack. QUESTION AND ANSWER H. J.: My eyelids are red and Inflamed, and I have a great deal of discharge coming out of my eyelids. What causes this and What wpuld you advise? Answer: You are probably suffering from a low grade infection of the eyelids known as conjunctivitis. This can be helped by the use of eye ointments containing various antibiotic drugs. However, you should have an examination by your physician so that he can determine what type of germ is causing the infection and the proper antibiotic can then be ; used to treat it.

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX NANCY had told Phil of the day she had met Linda Van Vliet m the Colony Inn ahd she repeated Linda’s words —“ft seems so cruel for a girl as nice as you to be made a fool of by anyone so obviously—shall I say it—so obviously out of your uforld as Phil Stanley—he thinks he can buy any- \ Nancy repeated what Humphrey Charles had once told her when he had warned that she must be more discreet if she wished to stay in the employ of his firm ... “Mr. Stanley is a gentleman ... a station of society you could hardly expect to fit into . . .” Phil sat now in the Kelly living room telling her mother stnd father that he had asked their daughter to marry him and that she still hadn’t given him an answer. Mother Kelly stopped rocking. “It’s a strange house, this, one daughter losin* a husband and another —” i "Oh, Mother, please—” Nancy’s father asked to be excused. He held a hand toward Phil. “You look like a right smart lad, and may God bless the both of you.” After Nancy’s father had gone, Mother Kelly spoke. \ •1 suppose you’ve heard \ about 1 Sam Sykes, that slippery one.” “Yes. I've heard about him. Your daughter will be well rid of him.” “It’s true, that. What a bad one he is. I wouldn’t put anything past him. This very afternoon I found something that looks mighty queer to me.” Nancy leaned forward. What was her mother going to say now? Mother Kelly said that when she had gone to the closet in the room that Moira and Sam had used when they- were at the Kelly home, that a suitease of Sam’s had tumbled from the shelf and that she had seen a paper sticking out from the lining of the cover. “Yes, mother—” \ Nancy’s voice was hardly a whisper. f “Well, I read it, and it was typewritin' and I couldn’t make a thing out of it, what with my eyes and everything, but it didn’t look good to me, and 1 meant to tell you about it, Nancy. I’ll go after it.” Nancy looked at Phil. Should she let her mother get the paper, whatever it was? She might as well. There was nothing more she could conceal from Phil Stanley. Phil knew everything about her now, everything about her and her kind

of people, if he still wanted to marry her— Mrs. Kelly was hardly gone a minute. She returned with a paper and handed it to Nancy. It was the carbon Nancy had missed that night months ago When the “confidential information” that she should never have taken from the files of the office of Spencer and Charles, the single sheet of paper that would have been so damaging to Phil's father had it gotten into the wrong hands. If Nancy ever in her life had exercised control she exercised it now. Nancy said it was nothing and she knew that it was something. Something that was going to tear Phil Stanley out of her life. Something that in all' the resistances she had put up before him to make sure -that he really loved her, she had failed to tell. Sam Sykes had stolen the paper and it must have been he who tried futilely to use it against Phil*? father. Phil had laughed at, refused to listen to all the other things she had told him. What would he say to this? She decided she would tell him. But not now. Not tonight. Thank heaven Sam’s theft had never come to anything. Just one more tning to tell Phil, one awful thing! At the University Club the next noon Phil had hardly given their order for luncheon when Nancy told him that she Had something “awful” to*tell him. She handed him the typewritten sheet that Mother Kelly had found hidden back of the lining in Sam's suitcase. “Phil, that’s what my mother found in Sam’s suitcase. Sam tried to sell it, he must have—” \ “Tried to sell It! He DID sell it.” “Phil, what do you. mean ?” “Nancy, how did this ever get into Sam Sykes* hands?” Nancy told him. She told him of the time when against her own judgement and the rules of tMb law office tn which she had worked, she had taken papers home. She told him about the missing copy, about the tortures she had suffered when the news of a bungled extortion plot had been written in the newspapers. “Now you know that Dave Armstrong had nothing to do with itIt was that horrible Sam Sykes. Thank heaven it fell through.” “But Nancy, it - didn’t fall through.” “What do you mean?” ' \ *T mean that my father paid >10,000—” i

rnu cnecxed himself. “Nancy. You have said that I and my kind of people don’t know anything about you and your kind of people. Now it’s my turn to tell you something. My kind of people sometimes make money by some strange means.” Phil said that his father, fearing arrest himself, had paid money to someone for silence and that someone must have been Sam Sykes and some ring Sam probably worked with. But that whole matter was done with now. Phil reached for Nancy’s hand. 1 “Was there ever a girl like you! My darling! I’m going to aisk you now that you forget everything you know about this nasty business of my father’s. He bought the silence of someone. The thing is over. We must never mention It again.” \ “Nancy, 1 love you, Nancy. Nothing else matters.” "And I love you too, Phil, so of course nothing else matters!” • • • ,i 1 , Linda Van Vliet, a few weeks later, made herself comfortable on a chaise longue in a Chicago gold coast apartment. She made herself comfortable so that she could page through the late newspapers from Phil Stanley’s town. A story on an Inside page of one of them caused her to sit bolt upright. The newspaper story said that Sam Sykes had been found guilty of bigamy, that as soon as he had served his term in that state he would be seized by the state of Florida. It said that Sam had confessed to membership in a ring of erpoks. It didn’t say a word about any attempt of extortion of J. G. Stanley- L- "... funny about Spike Adams . . . Sam had the stuff on that old duck, J. G., and Spike Adams had walked away with it.” Linda sat thinking a long time before she picked up another two-day-old newspaper. \ She read that Nancy Kelly and Phil Stanley had been married. Linda flung the newspaper half way across the room. She stayed reclining on the chaise lohgue for a long time, twisting Phil Stanley’s diamond ring around her finger. Then she reached for the Chicago telephone directory. She’d have to choose a luckier name this time. Maybe the girl who had started out as Cassie McCloud would pick herself a winner now. ( The End)
