Guilty Plea Entered To 5'2-Year-Old Death MEDFORD Ifl-Marlon Flanklin Piening, 50, Friday pleaded guilty lo a manslaughter charge in the death of Margaret Ann Cornell 5 Vt years ago. Police said the 50-year-old woman died as the result of sexual abuse. Piening, arrested last Nov. 30 in another sex case, admitted the assault on the Cornell woman after questioning by police. . He will be sentenced next week. Prostatic trouble has been called the bene of old age. One man out of three past sixty Is a sufferer and one man out of two is a victim of it after eighty. The most com mon ' trouble is hyper trophy or enlargement. The prostate gland is situated at the nock of the blad der and when enlarged, causes pressure and constriction of the urethra or passage through which the urine and semen are transmit ted to the outside. 1 Was it Natures cmbryological mistake to combine the genera tive with the excretory organs? Why docs the prostate enlarge when the sexual functions are on the decline and its period of ac tivity is over? This enlargement is a similar process to the growlh of fibroid tumors in the female. Urinary function does not stop when reproduction diminishes and ceases. . This prostatic enlargement caus es an obstruction to the urinary, flow. The desire to urinate may he frequent, painful and urgen,. The patient is forced to excuse himself to repair to the bathroom. There is loss of sleep from getting up at night, irritability, weakness, confusion, and frequent urination during the daytime. There may bo discomfort when sitting, the indi vidual experiencing a crowded feel ing. Leg cramps may further dis turb his sleep at night. Inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. This may cause pains in the joints or down the legs, following the sci atic nerve. Burning sensation fol lowing urination, feeling of full ness, pains in the back, extending over the hips and down the calves of the legs. This condition may become com plicated if the bladder and kidneys j ut-tvnic auci-ieu uum ine rcsiauai urine. Residual urine stagnates in the bladder, the symptoms of which may be chills and fever. A strain is put upon tho bladder to expel the urine.' Getting. up from seven lo ten times a night will result In physical exhaustion. Many cases of sciatica can be traced to an inflamed prostate. There is a close relation of the sciatic plexus to that of the prostatic plexus and associate ganglia and sucn cases of sciatic trouble will not respond to treatment until the prostatic gland involvement has been cor rected. . The almost universal belief of laymen that disease of the prostate gland is the result of venereal dis ease is wrong. Some of '.he clean est living men are proslale suii'er ei s. This organ is Intimately blend ed with the nervous system. 1: pro vokes, when diseased, the iroft varied nervous troubles. Many cases of baffling and obscure ner vous cases can be traced to that troublesome gland. iASKETBALL ROSEBURG REEDSPORT TONIGHT Direct from Reediport CCS RADiO1490 KC. 1 i 1 1 ' 71 Think it overt: i WEATHER MEANS CW CA$W NOW IS THE TIME TO GET RESULTS WITH YOUR WANT AD!
