Coniulunt Id Al.ftleln. ni'.yu i...u Bmerltut Prnfegml of M.dlcUM M.TO UI1BM Many people ask me about bursitis - what it is and what to do for it. Bursitis means trouble in a little sac called a bursa. It contains a fluid that looks like an oil. The commonest bursa to give trouble is the one on the out side of the arm, near the point of the shoulder. In this place, the bursa serves as a sort of pulley. A tennis elbow or a housemaid's knee may be due to a bursitis. What is the cause? Perhaps, it is the same as the cause for either arthritis or fibrositis. No one knows. Often, when a shoulder hurts and is stiff, it is hard to say just where the inflammation is. It could be in the joint, in the tissues about the joint, in the mus cles, in the bursa, in the nerves, or in a tendon. Occas ionally, the x-ray examination will show a calcified bursa full of lime salts. In the old days, surgeons removed such bursas, but later, when they found that, with time, the sit uation often clears up, they largely gave up operating. Should a sore shoulder be moved and exercised? Usual ly yes. If it is not moved. binding adhesions can form in the joint, and that situation is bad. Dr. Philip Hcnch has said that the sissies who won't stand the pain of movement will get stiff, while those persons who have the guts to use the arm are likely to get well. What can be done? Some times pain can be relieved by an injection of some procaine - a local anesthetic - or of some hydrocortisone, or c combination of the two drugs Several such injections may have to be given. Aspirin of ten is good treatment; and help can come from heat and diathermy and massage. When these measures do not show signs of helping, I send the pa tient to an x-ray man. In two out of three cases one or two x-ray treatments will work a quick cure. If x-ray treatment does not help, in rare cases in which there is much pain and my wetsliei' is a.'u.toxxiatio disability, removal of the bursa can be considered. To show how inflamed bur sas can disappear by them selves, two years ago, after the auto in which I was rid ing went into a chuck-hole and my left elbow was pain fully banged on the arm rest, the bursa on the elbow be came sore and got as big as a golf ball. I was just about to ask a surgeon to remove It, when in a few days it disap peared all by itself, and that was the end of my pain. There is a type of headache in which the unfortunate pa tient suffers terribly. Every so often he (or she) is likely to wake, perhaps at 3 a.m, with an awful headache -one so bad that no drug is likely to do any good. The poor victim usually walks the floor for two or three hours and then the headache quits With the pain, one eye may run tears, and one side of the nose may be stopped up. An injection of a drug called his tamine usually will throw the person into a typical head ache. Slow desensitizatlon of the person to histamine by the daily injection of slowly in creasing tiny doses of the drug will cure perhaps 60 per cent of the patients. Some times after a year or two of relief, the patient will again have a spell of the headache. This is called Horton's head ache. It is named after my good friend, Dr. Bayard Hor- ton, who spent many years studying the disease. I have seen a number of cases in which Horton's head ache seemed to complicate mi graine. Especially in such cases, the patient should try injections of the Gynergen which is so helpful in 80 per cent of cases of migraine. Dr. Piness says that in some cases an injection of adrenalin will help, or it will help to shrink the mucous lining of the nose. HOW TO RECOGNIZE PARKINSON'S DISEASE Many people ask how can they be sure that they have Parkinson's disease? When the trouble is well-advanced, I can recognize it in a man seen a block away. He prob ably will be walking slowly, perhaps with short, shuffling steps. He is likely to be bent forward a bit from the waist; he will not be swinging his hands as a normal person does. One or both of his hands are likely to be held close in front, near his groin. When I get closer to the man I will see that there is almost no expression in h's face; also, one of his hands may be shaking in a peculiar way-with the thumb and first finger coming togther. In the earliest stages, the man's face may lose some of its expres sion. If questioned, he may say that he feels stiff, as if someone had poured glue into his arms and legs. Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- T HERE'S A TINY community in the Carolinas that had trouble keeping a minister for any length of time. Finally the bishop, with weightier matters on his mind, sent down a raw-boned, stolid young preacher and said, "Try and make the folks out there like you." The new minister was amazingly successful. After two years, the bishop, very pleased, summoned the leader ot the flock and sought the reason why. "It's simple," explained the leader. 'We folks out there real ly don't want a preacher at all and this young fel ler's the closest we've come to it." "Pop," spoke up a youngster aboard a Santa Fa train, "what's the name of the town we Just stopped at?" "How would I know?" grumbled Pop. "Can't you see I'm read ing the paper? Ask your mother." "I can't," reported the youngster; "She got off there." C 196". by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Feature!
