HEALTH TALK WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE B APPEL, SECRETARY OF HEALTH Appendicitis “From the old days of the “Doctor Book” down to this highly health-con- scious period, a large number of per- sons have refused to admit their limit- ations in the healing art. Seeking out- side advice on every other conceivable subject with which they are personal- ly unfamiliar, they make a glaring and sometimes fatal exception of bodily ail- ments. Thus, in their own conceit or upon the non-professional advice of friends, they diagnose conditions and prescribe remedies. The extreme folly of this attitude is eloquently demon- strated in appendicitis,” states Dr. Edith MacBride-Dexter, Secretary of Health. Some time ago a study of thousands of hospital appendicitis cases was made in a metropolitan city. It was quite conclusively proved that the mortality was « edly higher among those in- dividuals who, under a woefully mis- guided idea of their ability to define symptor took laxatives to eliminate the abdominal pains associated with the condition. For example, among those ho took one laxative dose 1 in 4 su imbed. While of those who per- sisted in this type of self-treatment 1 in 7 died “This story in itself is quite impres- si But to it must be added the pen- alties of delayed proper treatment. The investigation showed that only 1 out of every 39 patients died who were oper- ated upon during the first twenty-four hours of the attack. Of those receiving operative attention 48 hours after the onset 1 in 24 failed to survive. The patients operated upon 72 hours after first symptoms had a fatality rate 3. Finally, those reaching the 1g room after seventy-two hours following the onset developed a mor- tality rate in the majority of instances the delay was caused by self-diagnosis and self-dosing. “Certainly, such a situation justifies an emphatic warning to everyone who riences persistent adbominal pain of 1 to opera expe When so suffering no one should take a laxative or cathartic unless it is pro- fessionally advised. Indeed, nothing should be taken by the mouth. Instead the family physician should be sent for promptly. Pain of this kind which continues usually is serious. “It is logical to assume that a fair proportion of the increased appendicitis toll could be decidedly diminished if the habit of self-diagnosis and self- medication could be curbed.” etl Geer POLAND !

When her daughter met her at the station the mother exclaimed, “Say, you've certainly lost weight since you moved to the city.” “Yes,” said her daughter, “I'm just a shadow of my farmer self.” At the Hershey pool on Sunday I heard a town youth (who was jeal- ous because his girl was flirting) re- {mark: “Most girls have a sinking | feeling whenever they see a hand- | some life guard.” A Donegal St. lady told me she’s expecting a great deal of company from July 1st to the 5th, but that she was going to lock the doors when they came. “Say,” I inquired, “what |kind of company are you expecting, if you don’t want to let them in?” She replied “The gas company, the telephone company and the electric | company.” Users “Do you want to know something?” asked Red Metzler's girl. “Sure,” answered Red, real interested. “Well don’t give up hope, maybe some day you will!” she replied disgustedly. Sunday two New Haven St. coup- les went for a long drive together. The husbands occupying the front seat and the wives the rear seat. Af- ter listening to the one woman talk almost continuously giving advice on how to drive for the first fifty miles the one man leaned over and whisp- ered to the driver: “That wife of yours can talk a mile a minute.” “Yes,” agreed the driver, “she’s the | fastest back-seat driver in the coun- | try.” | | Every man has his own peculiar |way of proposing to his girl, but a proposal that I overheard on Monday | night was carrying things a little too far and mixing business with plea- | sure, | A Columbia baker proposed to his Vos ae |girl and this is what he said: “Sweet (I'm a well BREAD young man and [that’s a good RAISIN why you should {marry me.

A crowd of fellows were standing in front of “Jack’s Restaurant” in Elizabethtown when one of the fel- lows, who weighed about 200 lbs and was 6 ft. tall remarked: “Well, I have to run along and take a sewing les- son.” “A sewing lesson,” inquired one of the other fellows. “Well, mer- thy, goodness me!” The 200 pounder, bristled and said, “Don’t get sarcastic.
