There is a group of gall bladder
id liver disturbances that are un-
ymfortable ailments, They may be
used by infection, formation
ones which cause mechanical ob-
ruction, or by faulty diet.
Many liver and gall bladder dis-
rbances may be due entirely to
proper diet. Indeed, in most
ses of gall bladder disease, partic-
arly in acute catarrhal jaundice, 4
ere is usually a long history of
etary neglect. This may be the
ily apparent cause.
Persons who are overfond of fried,
ity, greasy foods, rich gravy and
shes exceedingly rich in fat are
wrticularly likely to have such dis-
rbances. Indeed, many a man

Gall bladder conditions are most
equently found in women who
we had several children and who
wve passed the age of forty. It is
e custom among medical men to

scription of individuals who com-

used to be traversed by camels In
about 40 days, the distance from Se-
lima to Assiut being about 420 miles.
Major Bagnold stated that the slave
track was clearly marked by the skel-

over 200 camel skeletons to every mile.
Although it had not been used for 50
years, in certain parts the tracks of |

Only two of the contestants were
