New Cure for Lung Abscess

, By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MJ. THE physician’s sense of smell has teen a keen diagnostic tool in the detection of cases of lung abscess. ' ' 4 However, now the incidence of this c isease has lessened, and so the doctor's sensitive nose can ieturn to more tasteful workl Disease Now Rare: Twenty years ago, lung abscess was s very common occurrence. Medical students were taught to suspect the disease by smelling the pitrid odor in a room. With the advent of the sulfa drugs and the newer antibiotics, lung abscess has become a rarity, and Is . riot often seen even in the largest of hospitals. ■ ? , In 1936, over thirty-four per cent of the patients treated med- : cally, and surgically died from his disease. of ung abscess has ;■ been lessened • remendousiy, arid the mortality is now practically nil, except in cases where cancer is the underlying cause. I? Caused By Infection An abscess of the lung Is caused by ari infection. It may follow some period of unconsciousness such as shock treatment, anesthesia, or any kind of surgery performed in the mouth or throat. If any ' of the infprfed material

A .■ • \ .. .■' ;A. • ' dent Eisenhower, following Presii dent Truman’s position, has endorsed the building of the route to the Atlantic. , 0 0 ‘ If the federal government is taking over duties which the states should perform, it is the states* own fault, says Charles Edison, an authority on government. Edison is the son of the inventor, a former governor of New*Jersey and secretary of the navy, now chairman of the governing council of the National Municipal League. He told the League that so-called federal encroachments arise from “the unrepresentative and often irresponsible character of the state legislatures.” The fact is the country would not have much of its reform legislation if the federal government had not lead the way after 1933. 0 0 New York City is to have the unusual experience of management by an expert in municipal government. Mayor-elect Wagner has created a new office, that of City Administrator, and named Dr. Luther H. Gulick, a recognized authority to the post. Gulick has studied government both here and abroad and for the past two years has headed an inquiry into the operations of New York’s vast governmental structure. The adr ministrator will be paid almost as • much as the mayor receives and if he is able to weed out waste in municipal affairs, his salary will be saved many times. The provoking thought in this case Is, why not elect the government expert mayor? The Tax Muddle:— Tlany people, anticipating the automatic 10 per cent-reduction of t income taxes that will take effect next January 1, will be disappointed to find that the government will leave them with little, if any, more spending money. As the income tax goes down, the Social Security rate goes up. For about halt the nation's famil- \ \ \ . / ies, this means that the increase in their payments will be as big, or bigger, than the income tax reduction. Families in the upper income brackets will benefit from tax reductldns,“but employers will have to turn over larger SS payments, too, The income tax reduction so loudly touted by many congressmen and administration leaders \ will never be seen by many families. It will certainly increase the pressure for further tax reductions next year, thus becoming another headache for ttye Eisenhower administration.-

The patient will usually have a high temperature, and cough up a great amount of a sputum that has a putrid odor. There mky also be some blood in the sputum. Antibiotics Ustd In present day treatment of lung abscess, large doses of penicillin are given along with as much aureomycin or terramycin, as the physician considers necessary. Most abscesses of less than six weeks* duration can be crired by administering this extensive antibiotic treatment. Abscesses with a duration of more than six weeks usually need surgical Intervention whereby the abscess to drained,' along with the admintotratlori of antibiotic drugs. The riewer ihethods of surgery make this a fairly siniple procedure tri skilled hands. QUESTION AND ANSWER 8.

SYNOPSIS , , 1 Returning to his hone In Denfleld, Conn., after a long absence in Mexico. Philip Haven, a writer, hods hia young { niece, Libby, who also served as his ( secretary, missing from the house. ' Believing that she may be visiting her 1 cousin Kit In New York. Haven 'phones ] the latter's apartment only to learn , that Libby had not been there. Kit • hastens by train to the Denfleld house where she and her Uncle Philip, and . her Aunt Miriam, a neurotic, are joined by Hugo Qavanaugh, an attractive 1 young attorney who once had courted i Kit. out who had switched his affec* , tions to Libby. Search of Libby’s * room reveals a note, urging her family ] not to worry, promising that they shall . hear from her soon. An unfamiliar cigaret butt in the room might indi- 1 cate that Libby had had a male visitor. | CHAPTER THREE . PHILIP found a focus for his be- j wiklerment and anger in Kit’s , question. •'Haven’t you been seeing Libby, Kit? Haven’t you been here ( week-ends?” ? ( She shrugged. Tve been busy, i too, Philip, ever since you went to I Mexico. When I did see Libby in New York, when she dropped into the apartment, I thought—sorry, Hugo—that you and she were about at the announcement stage. She’d come in wearing flowers and was as happy as a lark.” Hugo said, “Well, yo u we r e wrong.” He went on, “Can’t you think of anyone, Kit, not the men around here that Libby’s known all her life but—maybe someone In New York?” Kit sent her thoughts back to December, January. Something was coming—Daisy Ballentine’s room, Daisy Ballentine’s party. Daisy was merchandise editor of Parasol and it was one of her usual: affairs, mixed up and mad and amusing, for a little while. Kit could see it all clearly. There was a man who played the flute and a girl with long red hair and an immense harp. George had taken her and Libby. She and George were sitting on the sidelines withdrawn as tar as they could get from the sound and fury when Kit caught sight of a man’s extraordinary head. Handsome was too weak, too insufficient a word. A nearby candle had increased the illusion of an inhuman perfection. The man’s hair was a clear bronze and as bright as metaL His profile might have been carved in marble by a master—human features would show some small reassuring flaw. He was laughing at something and it came as a shock. Magnificent marble busts didn’t laugh aloud. George had said in her ear: “Daisy’s robbed a museum. I know who did that guy. Michelangelo. He’s on loan from the Metropolitan.’’ And then another head had appeared, and It was Libby’s. It was at Libby, iHth Libby, that the Adonis was laughing. Later oh Libby had tried to Introduce her tb him, but Daisy Ballentine had thrown her ar fils around him. "Tony, you utter angel. Pm going to give you a Copyright. 1552. 1353. by Helen Reilly, b

kiss to see if you’re real." He had removed her arms, not gently, and Daisy had said: “Pardon me—and pray don’t apologize for spraining my wrist Oh, Kit Haven. You’re next in line—got your admission charge?” Kit remembered that the man'fc eyes had travelled over her with an odd effect of sightlessness in them, and his mouth had hardened. He knew she didn’t like him. She had said, “I won’t need any admission charge, Daisy,” and had walked away. Shortly after that she and George left. Libby was having fun and had staged on. The Adonis had brought her home a couple of hours later. What was his name? | Hugo said eagerly, “You thought of someone, Kit” Philip half started from his chair. “Who. is he?” Kit got it then. WilderTony Wilder. She told them. The effect of Wilder’s name on Hugo was astonishing. She could feel rage seize Hugo, shake him. She thought there was nothing odd about that He was in love with Libby and Libby had chosen the other man. Hugo met her eyes and instantly all trace of his fury vanished. He covered; it up carefully. That was the queer thing. He denied knowing anything about Tony Wilder. Philip poured out questions.. Kit knew very little and that little she censored —no use making her uncle feel any worse that he did, and after fill they weren't sure. She said that Wilder was In his early 30’s and very good looking and that he seemed anything but broke. Now that she thought of It, Libby had mentioned meeting him first at the Nevins’ in Santa Fe when she was there before Christmas. Philip turned to Kit “You thought Libby had run off with Cavanaugh, when, as a matter of fact, in a letter Libby wrote me shortly after I left she said something about you and Cavanaugh.? Kit felt the blood rising to her face. She said, “Libby was mistaken,” and got up. “I’m going to call Daisy Ballentine and see what she can tell us about Tpny Wilder.’’ . She looked in the book and dialed long distance. While she was waiting, Philip went past her and upstairs to talk to Miriam. He came down and said: “Your beloved aunt never heard of any Tony Wilder. The fellow never came here. Maybe you’re wrong.” He plunged past her like a run-, away horse. ? Kit couldn’t raise Daisy. Listening to the empty ringing at the other end pt the wire, she made herself relax. What differ" ence did ft make ridW? The thing was done. In spite of Philip, she had a feeling that she Wai right—and Libby had been gone for 24 hours. She and Wilder were probably married by this time, they would have made their preparations in advance. It was odd that V arrangement with random HOUS*. 1

Libby hadn’t waited. She had always talked of a big wedding, with' a veil and bridesmaids and flower girl . . . and there was something else. Libby hated to be disapproved of, criticism crushed her. She always wanted to please people even if it was only in choosing a,hat. How much more so where a husband was concerned . . . What was there about Tony Wilder that had made her go away with him without a word to anyone? Kit dropped the phone. William Grant came in. He was Miriam VanKreeFs nephew and no relation of the Havens. He was an innocuous young-old man of 30 with staring brown eyes behind glasses. He came every week-end and on holidays to visit his aunt and her family by her first marriage. He considered the Havens to be rich people who did what they wanted when they wanted While he slaved his life away at an arduous job as a hotel clerk. William was excited and upset He said, “I called Aunt Miriam. She told me that Libby had disappeared, so I jumped on the train—” “Why?” Philip said. “Because — because I thought I might be able to help.” Philip eyed him. “Can you?” William Couldn’t He had never met or heard of Tony Wilder. Kit Said, “I’m going to make some sandwiches,” and went into the kitchen. Hugo followed her. “How’s George ?” he asked. “In excellent health, thanks.” “Are you going to marry him?” Kit gaVe him a cqld stare; “Nice of you to bh interested, Hugo. When we decide you'll be one of the first to know.” “Look, Kit, Libby’s got to be found.” “Os course. But it’s up to her now. She said she’d let us know.” "You cari't think of anyone else. What do you know about Tony Wilder that makes you dislike him so much, Hugo?” It seemed to her that he hesitated. Then he said: But I think you ought to make certain that the man who left that cigarotte upstairs in Libby’s room was Wilder.” Kit said nothing. She picked up the tray and they returned to the living room. Falling hungrily on the sandwiches, William didn’t help matters any. He said: “Libby’s been gone since last night. Maybe you' ought to go to the ptfilCe ” Philip said threateningly: “Now that yoti’re here 1 presume that you’re going to stay the night, but my niece and I and Mr. Cavanaugh would like a little privacy, so When you've finished your meal—” .'i WißMte showed no resentment “1 understand.” He finished hM milk and got up.
