DUCT STRETCHER
SUPPLANTS KNIFE
FOR GALL STONES
Lead From Liver to Intesti
nal Tract Can Be Made
Large Enough to . Pass
Bothersome Obstructions
By WEN DEL BIRCH
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
SAN PRANOISCO. Oct. 30. (UP)
Gallstones, one of the oldest and
moet painful Twines to human life,
may be eliminated entirely from the
list of ailments requiring surglsal
removal .
In a paper to be read before the
25th clinical congress of the Amer
ican College of Surgeons, Dr. Arthur
W. Allen of Boston. Mas., describes a
simple preventive to accumulation of
the hard, sometimes death-dealing
obstructions.
"Cutting for the atone" has been a
surgical practice for centuries, fash
ionable even In the cteya of little Sam
uel Pepya. babbling diarist of the late
17th century.
Small Duct Obstructed.
Source of gallstone trouble usually
lies In the small duct leading from
the liver to the Intestinal tract. Dr.
Allen said. Too frequently this duct
as modeled by nature, la so narrow
that the tiniest obstruction causes
trouble, and an accumulation of the
stones" soon piles up.
The remedy, obviously. Is to make
the duct larger. By inserting a hol
low, tough "stretcher" the duct can
be made to pass all normal obstruc
tions which appear In Its length. Dr.
Allen submits that such a "stretch
er" has been found in a amall de
vice, made of materials which resist
the stomach acids, and resembling
chiefly a ripe olive in size and color.
It was pointed out that accumu
lation of the stones ordinarily pre
sents the only surgical problem In
galstone cases. When means of pass
ive the stones throuzh the duct have
been achieved, the suffering and Ill
ness attendant to their clogging the
passage Is eliminated.
One Operation Only.
While an initial operation would
1e required to place the "stretcher"
In position, recurrent operations for
removal of the stones would be ob
vlftted. Mere removal of gallstones
In the past has not offered any per
manent relief from the illness. Inas
much as new obstructions may form
and clog the tiny duct after an op
eration, since the real source of dif
ficulty narrowness of the duct has
not been Affected.
Dr. Allen's report was but one of
scores presented the congress, detail
ing new technique In operating, new
means of "cutting to cure."
A fracture conference today offered
one of the headlights of the conven
tion, which has for one of its major
topics surgical ways And means of
healing the frightful wounds some
times inflicted on modern man by
his robot servants the automobile,
industrial machinery, steam and elec
tricity. (ikes First Aid nont's.
Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, Chicago. 111.,
offered a list of "don'ts" to would
be Good Samaritans intent on help
ing injured persons.
"Cover up the injured person, but
do not let some willing soul coax you
to grab him under the knees while
the other fellow takes him under the
arms and between you. drajr him to
the nearest drug store, where the floor
Is no softer or warmer than was the
stivet.
"Maybe In doing this well-meaning
act you have doubled htm up like a
jackknlfe. making a mildly Injured
spine a severely injured one. Mayoe
the shap end of a fractured bone in
the leg has been pulled across a
nerve or artery. And will necessitate
an amputation Instead of healing
after a moderate period of disability. "
Iodine Irritant.
For skin injuries, don't run for the
Iodine bottle, he warned. "Iodine is
a strong Irritant when it is fresh."
he .wid. "If it has been lying around
for xome time and all the alcohol in
which It is dissolved has evaporated,
it leaves a concentrated solution
which is dangerous to use on a nor
mal skin."
Dr. E. Dunbar Newell, Chattanooga,
Tenn... urged use of local anaesthesia
st the site of fractures to relieve pain
and obtain complete muscular relax
ation Dr. E. Wayne Palmer. Phoenix,
Arlr... urged establishment of first aid
stations at every airport, dangerous
crossroad and along major highways,
as a means of eliminating needless
suffering among thousands of aocl
dent victims.
The infantile paralysis situstlon In
this county, due to the vigilance of
the county health department,
through County Physician A. N
Johnson. Is well In hand. nd no esses
are reported.
A week azo Dr. Johnson warned
that residents of the Keno area In
Klamath county, moving to this
county would be subject to observa
tion and quarantine, and apparently
this had a salutary effect on migra
tions frnm that section.
Dr. Johnson Is Investigating a tele
phone report that a family from Keno
had moved Into the Butte Falls dis
trict, and If found, the family will
he placed under regulations until
clean bill of health la returned.
The plea of the county health de
partment for communities and sec
tions to report new fsmllle, has met
with O'peratlons.
Dr. Johnson announced that the
steps taken were with the Idea, "to
make the public cautious but not
ranlrfcv."

American Legion
Auxiliary
Membership In the American Aux
iliary gives each woman an opportun
ity to work for the peace of mind
that comes when one feels that some
duty Is well done. The American Le
gion Auxiliary sponsors four great ob
jectives. They are Rehabilitation,
Child Welfare, Americanism and Na
tional Defense. Par too little is known
of our excellent work by the general
public. We are often criticized by
outsiders, due to lack of knowledge
of the principles and ideals we are
carrying on." In order to accomplish
our alms we need a large member
ship for each Individual member
ship means a stronger chain.
It seems hardly possible that any
woman privileged to belong to the
American Legion Auxiliary who knows
of the great work accomplished by
the concentrated efforts of the 8618
units with 400.616 members can re
fuse to belong and to do her bit to
wards helping the leas fortunate.
Our work in Rehabilitation is for
the soldiers who have come home dis
illusioned, shaken and maimed from
a war to protect the country they
honored and love and need every bit
of kindness and consideration we can
give them. The Auxiliary Is doing Its
bit In this great work. And Child
Welfare It hardly seems that any
woman could refxise to come Into an
organization which so Intensively
works for those orhpaned and semi
orphaned children loft as a trust by
the boys who didn't come back, and
the children of those, who. coming
home, left thetr health and their
hopes In Prance. Child Welfare has
come to mean much to us It means
conservation of that America of the
future and it means, above all else,
giving our youth Its Inalienable right
to a place In the sun.
Americanism means a great deal to
us, for aro we not founded on the
principles of patriotism? The Auxil
iary Is doing a great work In mould
ing the alien material left at Its gates
into loyal, patriotic people ready to
protect the rights of the country
against Invasion.
It Is the duty of every wife, mother.

veteran to JOIN AND DO HER PART.
