Em.ritui Ceninltant to Mtdlclne,
Mayo Clinic
Emarltnf Professor of Medicine.
Mayo FoundaUon
At:"
Tteetoeele: What It It?
WonCn want to know what
is a rectocele. Many a woman,
O during a hard labor, has her,
pryvic floor so
badly torn that
no longer oare
there any mus
cles to hold
the womb up
As it comes
down, the wall
of the rectum
comet down
with it. Simi
larly, the blad
der cof9es way down, and this
is called a i cysioceie. unen, wun
a (&vstoce the urine which
ter3s to stagnate in the bladder
gets infected, and then the wom
an has frequency of urination
wi soma burning. In these
cases, the Htst thing to do is
O have a good surgeon perform
ajj operatioi. If he can find
enough muscle with which to
make a new . pelvic floor, well
and good. If not, he may turn
the uterus on its side and use
it to plug the hole. Often, I
strongly advise a wemjn to have
thisnpperation performed as soon
as she is done with her child
bearing because it may well be
that after suffering terribly fof
30 yeaf or more, she will fi
nally Te driven to accept the
surgeon's help.
Softening of ih Bones
OOf the Spin i
, Old people will sometimes de
velop a flattening of the bones
(osteoporosis) of the spine (verte
brae) which causes them to col
lapse. As a result, the person
tends quickly r become round
shouldered, and perhaps ej-en
with his head at Ught angles to
his body. I remember a woman
of 55 who, after the menopause,
tid her chest had seemed sud
denly to collapse so that she
got very round-shouldered and
soon lost four inches in height.
Naturally, with this collapse of
he5 vertebrae, there came pres
sure on some of the nerves that
come out from the spine, and
she suffered greatly from neural
gic pains in her chest-wall and in
her upper abdomen. I had to get
an orthopedist to put her into
O a strong corset that kept her
spina from collapsing still far
ther. Then we tried the usual
treatment of giving her large
amounts of ovarian hormone.
01d men also can sometimes
get this osteoporosis of the bones
of the spine, and they, Joo, will
.get badly round shouldered.
They are usually given male
hormone. Some doctors have
tried giving bo male and fe
male hormone. I have seen many
cases in which this hormone
treatment did not work. Per
haps some of the new and
stronger hormones, Recently e
veloped, will do better. Unfor
tunately, we do not .know
enough about the chemistry of
the process.
The Inheritance of Schizophrenia
When, in this column, I have
spoken of the enormous amount
of evidence t sh that psy
choses commonly develop on the
basis of an inherited tendency,
many lay persons, but no psy
chiatrists, have written to scold
me for my supposed lack of
knowledge of the many articles
and books on the subject. I wish
cent. If one of my parents had
been schizophrenic, my chances
of getting the disease would have
been 6.4 per cent, and if both
my parents had been schizo
phrenic, my chances of getting
tire disease would have been 68.1
per cent. If I had an alike-twin
brother who was schizophrenic,
my chances of getting the disease
would have been about 87 per
cent. These figures are taken
from Dr. Kallmann's interesting
book on the subject. In many
cases, the child of a schizo
phrenic inherits only a mild
form of the disease, and becomes
simply a shy, retiring "schizoid"
person.
A Person Cured Suddenly
I've always marveled at those
persons with a nervous trouble
who are suddenly cured by read
ing a sentence, or a poem, or
an article, or part of a book.
This material acts like a key
in a lock to straighten the per
son out. It seems to supply the
idea that the person needed to
reorganize his mind and his life.
In his autobiography, the great j
John Stuart Mill wrote of a i
time when he was 22, and after
years of overwork as a child
prodigy had gone into a mental
depression. Then he picked up
Wordsworth's poems and found
in them a couple of thoughts
that promptly cured him. One j
was that the world is beautiful,
and the other was that one can
develop one's character and not
just accept it ready-made.
Contest lo Reduce
Porcupines To Be
Held Another Year
The Medford Kiwanis club.
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce and 12 lumber con
cerns have decided to sponsor
another year-long contest to re
duce the population of porcu
pines in Jackson county.
The first contest ended July
1 with a total of 7,575 porcu
pines accounted for during the
year.
The current contest will run
from July 1, 1957, to June 30,
1958. All persons between 12
and 18 years of age who live in
Jackson county are eligible to
compete for prizes, a spokesman
said. A total of $450 in prize
money will be awarded to nine
winners. Three awards will be
made at the end of the year,
three on Dec. 31, and three for
the six months period ending
June 30, 1958.
In addition to the cash prizes,
the county clerk will pay a boun
ty of 50c for each porcupine kill
ed in the county by anyone re
gardless of age. The skin from
the nose including both nostrils
must first be well salted and
dried before it is presented as
evidence.
Young people who wish to en
ter the contest must first obtain
a receipt from the county clerk
and then register that receipt
with the Chamber of Commerce
at 328 South Central ave., Med
ford. Foresters and farmers are
hopeful that another year or two
of effort will result in reducing
the number of porcupines in the
county to a point where the
damage the rodents do to young
timber trees and orchards 'is
much less than it has been in
recent years, the spokesman said.
NO SCHOOL SALE
Valparaiso, Ind. (IP) Red
faced school officials at nearby
Washington Township assured
townspeople the local school is
not for sale. They said a "for
sale" sign nailed to the front
door of the school by some
prankster was intended to adver
tise the sale of a number of old
school furniture sets.
On The Side By E. V. Durling
1 (Distributed by King Futures Syndicate, Inc.)
Am asked if it has ever been
so hot in New York City that
an egg could be fried by merely
putting it on a sunny sidewalk.
Believe it may have been that
hot at some time but have never
heard of anybody frying an egg
on the sidewalk of New York.
Incidentally, a Californian told
me that on an August afternoon
he had fried an egg by putting
it on the sidewalk in front of a
store in Palm Springs, Calif.
Please Note
Speaking of inflation, as
everybody seems to be now, you
can at this time in New York
City get 440 French francs for
a United States dollar. When I
was in Paris in the summer of
1939 you could get only 33
francs for a United States Dol
lar. In 1918 in Paris during
World War I you could get only
five francs to a United States
dollar.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
do you think of the Floyd Patterson-Pete
Rademacher cham
pionship bout? A. It could be in
teresting. Pete has a psychologi
cal advantage. Patterson better
not be over - confident. Then
there is the possibility of a lucky
punch such as Firpo landed on
J. Dempsey in that historic
brawl at the Polo Grounds. I
have no prediction to make as
to the outcome of the Patterson
Rademacher affair but as Harry
Balogh would say, "May the
more proficient participant
emerge triumphant."
Says He
"Can you suggest a word for
'girl' that will mean 'girl',"
writes a Philadelphian. "As
used by the feminine sex 'girl'
has come to signify only a hu
man female. Where I work there
are a dozen matronly types of
an age range from son-in-high-school
to married-daughter-and-
DYING TOO EXPENSIVE
Buenos Aires (IB City au
thorities launched a drive today
against the high cost of dying.
Mayor Edwardo Bergalli named
a special commission to study
the possibility of establishing an
economical municipal funeral
service. The cheapest funeral in
Buenos Aires costs about $100.
Bergalli blamed the situation on
"profiteers in these activities."
three - grandchildren-in-Newark.
There are also five members of
the pony-tail set. They all call
themselves 'girls'. The first mid
dle - aged matronly group is
called 'the girls,' the second is
known as 'the young girls.' What
has happened to that fine old
Middle English word 'woman'?"
Passing By -
Mary Pickford. Top luminary of
the silent cinema era. Real name
Gladys Smith. Born in Toronto,
Canada. Began acting career as
child on legitimate stage. Played
with Chauncey Olcott. Began
her Broadway career in Belasco
Production "Warrens of Vir
ginia." First film appearance in
D. W. Griffth one-reeler titled
"The Lonely Villa." That was
in 1909. Her best feature films
were "Tess of The Storm Coun
try" and "Rags." Her last film
was "Secrets" made in 1933. She
has 'been married to Charles
"Buddy" Rogers, her third hus
band, for 20 years. It was David
Grauman, theatre owner of San
Francisco, who first called Miss
Pickford "America's Sweet-
heart".
Get It Right
Dr. Edward C. Kilbourne, 102
years old of Seattle, Wash., is
the country's oldest dentist. So
I note it said. Dr. Kilbourne is
retired. The oldest active dentist
in this country is 88-year-old
Dr. Arthur White of Pasadena,
Calif., who has been practicing
dentistry for 66 years.
Those Triplets
Curiosity has been expressed
by some subscribers as to the
weights at birth of the triplets
that 42-year-old Londoner, Mrs.
Rose Cohen, recently gave birth
to. The triplets have been named
Barbara, Susan and Patricia.
Their weights at birth were
Barbara, four pounds, 14 ounces;
Susan, four pounds, 8 ounces,
and Patricia, three pounds, 3
ounces.
Amoner The Married
What is your nickname for
your wife? Or should I say pet
name? Feminine subscriber who
married when 16 and her hus
band was 18 says her spouse
calls her "Puppy". Inspiration of
this name, she confesses, was
"the mess" she made of home
managing and cooking when
first married. Her husband said,
"You can get in more trouble
than a pup." And he has called
her "Puppy" ever since.
A Bostonian wants to know
if there has ever been a "society
wedding" in Manhattan at which
the bridesmaids wore red. When
Estelle Manville, Tommy's sister,
married Count Falk Bernadotta
her bridesmaids wore red.
