Diagnosing an Ulcer

!y HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. DIAGNOSING a peptic ulcer is a simple matter lor a physician. Moreover, most people can usually tell, themselves, when they have developed an ulcer. The symptoms are typical. Let me caution you, however, never to diagnose your own 111ness, no matter what it may be. Always consult your doctor. Pain Major Symptom I don't have to tell any of you who have had an ulcer that the outstanding symptom is pain, usually located over the pit of the stomach. It may be only mild discomfort, or it may be sharp and severe. Patients usually say that it feels like a steady hunger pain. Seldom is the pain felt before breakfast. Instead, it develops during the day, from one to four hours after eating. Sometimes it is so severe at night that it wakes you. Operates on Cycle This painful attack seems to work in cycles. The symptoms may last for several days or even several months. Then there may be a period of complete relief ranging up to several months. Don't let this absence of pain fool you into believing that you have conquered your ulcer. You cant do it without a proper diet and proper medical advice. Constipation, heart burn, belching and bloating are also symptoms of peptic ulcers. Occasionally, you may be sick to your stomach, vomit, or have excessive saliva. Loss of appetite, loss of weight and anemia can also mean you have a peptic ulcer. Seek Professional Advice Unfortunately, an ulcer can stick with you for a long time. Symptoms may be present for

With all the changes in the federal tax statutes, a person with income other than wages <> will save worry time, and possibly a mistaken return if he consults a local attorney or tax consultant. Several local men, both consultants and attorneys have attended special training classes conducted by the treasury department and they are qualified to show you at a nominal’fee Just how to complete a new return. 1 —-0 o That’s a trtix-up tn Phenix City, Alabama. They finally got to the very top of the bunch of gamblers and hoodlums who are running the city. The latest arrest is that of Coma Garret, attorney general of his state who is accused of murdering the man who was to succeed him. Several others are being held and it begins to look like they will “shake" all the dirt out of the territory where vice ran supreme for a number of years. —0 01— One of the principal factors in making a good community is the banking facilities of the community. A good bank lives, breathes and prospers only in reflection with the progress of the community. The two are Inseparable. If a community is good and prosperous, some place in that community is a good banking institution. This Is true in Decatur. Notice has been given of the annual election of officers in January of the First State Bank of Decatur. That bank, through the hard work of its officers and personnel is regarded as one of the finest in Indiana. Our congratulations go to Theodore Oraliker, president of First State bank and his colleagues who will present the usual fine statement of earnings to stockholders at the annual meeting. Mr. Oraliker has spent almost all of his life tn the banking profession in Decatur. He and our bank have grown with Decatur and the community joins in wishing officers of the bank and the personnel continued success in the community.

before the ulcer is discovered. You needn’t suffer pain that lon®, however, If you eat and rest properly and get competent medical advice. If you have an ulcer, chances are that I could find nothing wrong with you in a physical examination except a localized area of pain when I pressed on the sore spot. This pain usually Is so sharply circumscribed that the sensitive spot can be located « with a single finger tip. Um of X-Ray In 95 per cent of the cases, an ulcer can be detected by an X-ray examination. If the ulcer cannot be seen by the X-ray equipment, other indications such as spasm of the first part of the intestine, or duodenum, are usually, closed. When the acute symptoms of the ulcer have subsided, a second X-ray examination will usually show the ulcer itself. After the patient drinks a mixture containing barium, the X-rays show the ulcer as a little niche in the stomach or bowel. Given proper treatment and care, that little niche won't bother you much. QUESTION AND ANSWER P. E. D.: My son, five and onehalf years old, yawns all day long. Could It be due to his enlarged tonsils, or is it just a habit? Answer: Continued yawning in a child is a condition which requires thorough Investigation. It may be due to some disorder of the nervous system. It Is also possible that It may be due to habit. It Is hot caused by large tonsils. Thorough careful study 1? needed to find the cause before proper treatment could be advised by the physician. I

Lytton, of Petersburg, today was presented the Indiana state police silver star for his capture of a 30-year-old Illinois desperado last spring.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE WHEN DR. SELLARS and bis asisstant nurse reached Pleasantridge that next Friday evening Mrs. Brandt told them- that, unfortunately, Norman had been delayed. All of the other guests had gathered, about twenty people in all, and it was quite a gay gathering. “1 do hope Norman gets here before the benefit starts,” his mother said. “Since it was his idea, it would be a shame for him to miss it.” “He may have decided to stay over in New York and see it firsthand, ** ms father suggested, Cynthia could not help feeling a little disappointed. She had hoped to share this pleasant evening with Norman. She also had wanted to bring the two men together again —Norman and Walt. Not just that they might get to know each other better, but perhaps—had she been willing to admit this—to contrast them in her own mind. Norman, however, still had not arrived by the time the benefit show was well under way. Reba Kaye was mistress of ceremonies, and she had gathered together many of the top stars of show business. It promised to be an entertaming evening. Yet Cynthia could not down her feeling of disappointment; it didn't seem right that Norman was not sitting by her side. As for Walt, she had to concede that he was conducting himself extremely well He was almost posing as the social lion of the party, although he had insisted that that was not bis torte. He moved around among the various groups of people, answering the questions the men put to him in regard to the plans for the clinic, saying complimentary things to tne women. Cynthia was quite proud of him, and not at all ashamed of his manners. She was secretly a bit anjused, as well, tor she decided Unfit Walt actually was enjoying being the center of attraction. As head of the new undertaking, he seemed to be basking in the limelight. Once, under his breath, tic asked Cynthia if he was doing all right. "Splendidly!” She smiled up into his eyca "You’re outdoing yourself, in fact.” She suspected, too, that Walt was m such good spirits because his rival was absent. Maybe that wasn't quite tair, yet she doubted il he could nave been as relaxed

and at ease—and as charming —if Norman had been present. The TV show had been under way over an hour, with pledges for money already beginning to be telephoned tn, or wired, from many parts of the Country. Cynthia was enjoying it along with all the others, and experiencing a deeper thrill because the success of this project meant so much to her. Yet she noticed it when one of the servants slipped into the big living room to hold a whispered conference with the lady of the house. Elizabeth Brandy got up immediately and left the room. For some reason Cynthia felt apprehensive. She decided to slip out, too, and perhaps inspect net hair and the tip of her nose m the mirrored powder-room just oil the main entrance. -S Cynthia could not believe that Norman would stay on in New York to see the performance. He had said, almost his last words when leaving the first of the week, that he would be back. "You know 1 just live from Friday to Friday,” he had told her, teasmgiy of course, yet earnestly too. “1 'miss being able to look at you, my sweet. The only way 1 manage to live through those days in between,” he had told her, “is to nope that one of these days you'll discover you miss ms too." Cynthia did encounter Mra Brandt in the hallway. She saw at once, from the expression in Elizabeth’s eyes, that she was distressed. "Is anything wrong?”-Cynthia asked. Elizabeth Brandt appeared to hesitate a moment. Yet when she spoke, ncr Voice was calm. "I put in a tong-distance call,” she told the young nurse. “I want, ed to find out if Norman had left New York on the flight he usually takca 1 just received word that he did But apparently the plane didn't land in Washington. It may have had to make a forced landing. Let's hope that there's nothing to worry about." Cynthia felt that v Norman's mother was not giving her all the details. She also felt as though her knees might buckle beneath her. For if anything had happened th Norman... “Is that all 7” Cynthia asked. "Are you sure you’re not worried about Norman?” “1 don't know why," his mother said, “but 1 feel that Norman is all right. Right now the important thing, my dear, is not to

allow his father to become worried. 1 believe it will be best to say that Norman did decide to stay over. Don’t you agree?” “Yes, 1 suppose so.” Cynthia realized that Elizabeth’s first concern must be tor her husband. Any shock might bring on a heart attack. However, Cynthia had a feeling that there was more to the message than Mrs. Brandt had told her. She laid a hand on the older woman's arm, looked appealingly into her eyes. “Please tell me the rest," sue begged. “I must know, Elizabeth.” Again Elizabeth Brandt appeared io hesitate, or to weigh the matter. It was Just as it had been that hrat time when she had withheld ner opinion, and acceptance, ot Cynthia. Now Elizabeth appeared to be satisfied with what she saw in Cynthia’s face. “1 guess you do, my dear." Her voice was gentle. “The plane did have to make a forced landing. It crashed outside ot Washington. Most ot the passengers are sate. Only a few were injured—one killed...” “Killed!” Cynthia’s knees would have given way under her if she had not been holding Elizabeth's arm. Not Norman.... Dear God, don't let it be Norman... Even to think of his being injured—but dead... It was then that Cynthia knew she loved Norman. She knew it as though it had been a bolt of lightning. She knew it with such certainty that never again could there be any question or doubt. “I fee! confident that Norman is all right," bls mother said agtfin. "We both must believe that, my dear.” She patted Cynthia a hand consolingly. “You love him, too—my son—don’t you, my dear 7” ’Yes.” There was no hesitancy In Cynthia’s answer. Elizabeth leaned forward to place a light caress on the nurse s smooth forehead. “I am glad,” she said simply. It warmed Cynthia a heart, for she knew the deep feeling 1 and sincerity , contained in those simple words. “We will wait, and hope, together, my dear. There will be another message before long saying that Norman is safe. Or he will come home.” She linked an arm through Cynthia’s.- “Now we must join the others—and, for. Norman’s father’s sake, continue with the program as though nothing had occurred.” (To Sc Continued J
