MtDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON TUESDAY. JANUARY 29. 1961 1Y. Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register end Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Ants Join Man and Dog in Suffering with Rheumatism Stiffness and aching of body joints and muscles have been observed in ants, indicat ing that these insects, like man and dog and many other living beings, often suffer with rheumatism. It is a di sease that has plagued man kind, as well as other animals, since the very beginning of time. The caveman, living as he did in a damp hole in the side of a hill, thought the disease was caused by dampness. Grandfather, too, had rheuma tism, but his home was dry and heated. Many folks today, in dry, comfortable surround ings, still suffer with this crippling disease. The caveman, as well as the ant and the others, continued to suffer without trying to do much about it, but grandpa figured he had better sense. He listened to those who were supposed to know, and prucreded to do something about it. One very good rem edy had to do with the magic of red. Red woolen underwear red flannels they were called. Wearing these all winter was supposed to end the reign of rheumatism for all time. When he continued to suffer, even after wearing the flam ing colors for months on end, he began to question the ef fectiveness of the remedy. He gave red flannels up for an other "sure-cure." Copper Wire This one was told to him by one who had cured himself. It consisted of wearing a heavy copper wire around the wrist. The advocates of this treat ment were firm in their pref erence of the left wrist that was the one closest to the heart. If the rheumatic pains were severe and a faster treat ment was desired, then a cop per anklet was to be worn around the left ankle. There were many deluded sufferers that wore these copper brace lets and anklets for years; some wore out several wire loops but still suffered from rheumatism. It was a terrible disappointment; taking a bath or pulling on a shirt over a loop of wire on the wrist or ankle took practice and the disease still was present. Of course, the treatments didn't end with the red flan nels, the copper wires or any of the other sure-fire rem edies. Some sufferers, still hopeful, were open to any other suggestion for relief. They tried anything or every thing that promised a meas ure of relief. Simple remedies seemed better than the more complicated ones because they were easier to practice. One that was supposed to be pret ty sure was the horse chestnut cure. Body Contact Like making rabbit stew first catch the rabbit so with the chestnut cure, first secure the horse chestnut. The nut was carried in the pocket at all times. The lady who suffered the pangs of rheuma tism was advised to carry the chestnut in her purse and have it with her at all times; The Medical Roundup Emtruut consultant In Medicine suo umiir emeritus Prolfor of Mealcine Mayo l-ltnle iRtcikttr and T'thune syndicate. 191) I better still was wearing the nut, on a string, around the I neck. The idea was that the. cure was always in direct con tact with the body. By now we have pretty I well abandoned the red flan I nels, the copper w ires and the I horse chestnuts as cures. Of i course, the ants, the dogs and I the others that suffer from i the effects of rheumatism never tried any of the rcm- j i-uii-s, nicy aim suuvi , o.t uj ! so many people, with rheuma j ! tism. Ironic that the same, sus-, pected microorganism that probably causes this crippling disease is often present in an ant or an old family dog, and in all it causes the same suf fering, even the same chronic disabilities of the joints. fit r fern Ice on Area Roads Causes Accidents Slate police reported today that a series of accidents re sulted from icy pavement last night. Among the cars damaged was a state police car driven by Officer Carl Douglas Hol ly, 30, of 1470 Magnolia avc. The slate police car was headed north on Interstate 5 when it spun out on the ice and slid into a divider railing at the Barnclt rd. overpass just south of Medford. No in juries resulted and only mod erate damage to the right rear fender. Officers said it was the first accident resulting in damage to a state police car this year. Cars driven by Gordon Ar dclle Just. 33, of 745 Head rd., Central Point, and Leona Alice Hoffman, 61, of 317 North Fifth si., Central Point, collided on Head rd. at Ham rick rd., police said. A truck and trailer driven by John William Findlcy. 35, of Indianapolis, and a station wagon driven by Norman Clarence Eastridgc, 31, of Grants Pass, sideswiped as both were northbound on In terstate 5 at Blackwcll hill, state police said. The East ridge car skidded on ice, they said. Heavy damage, but no in juries resulted when a carry all vehicle went out of con trol on Crater Lake highway at Eagle Point and rolled over. The driver, Don Lcroy Car penter, 20, Soquel, Calif., was not injured, stale police said. Funeral Pending for Movies' John Farrow Beverly Hills, Calif. - Wli -Funeral arrangements were pending today for John Far row, 58, who won an academy award in I960 for his screen play of "Around the World in 80 Days."

Obviously, those many mild ;.S-& n n s hli'ods which affect 1 mill ions oi people, and soon slop by the m selves, are hardly worth worry ing about. In my litelmic, 1 ! have had hun-1 dreds of nosebleeds w h i c h quickly slopped by them selves. Rarely did I stuff some colton into the opening in my nose from which the blood was coming. I imagine that most of these nosebleeds came because I had blown my nose violently or 1 had picked a dis. turbing crust out of my nose. Many nosebleeds came for no reason that I could see at the time. I probably have had more nosebleeds than most people have for two reasons: one, I have had a life-long tenden cy to sinusitis on one side, and two, in my youth I had a spur on my septum bone (the bone between the two nares of the nose) ehislcd off. and the scar tends to form crusts and then bleed. Never has one of my nose bleeds continued for more than a few minutes. A fact that should cheer many per sons who now worry about nosebleeds is that only once in my years of general prac tice did I have to pack a man's nose wilh gauze Hi order to slop his severe bleeding. Dur ing all my years I have seen a number of persons badly frightened by a severe nose bleed, but always I slopped it quickly with the simple method 1 will now describe. All I had to do was to ask the man to lean forward or to lie on his stomach with his face down. Then he had to hold his nose closed for 10 minutes by his watch. When he was lying with his face down, the blood had to stay in his nose and clot there. By holding his nose for 10 minutes, he gave the blood time to clot. The mistake people with a nose bleed commonly make is ei ther to sit up or to lie on their back thus allowing the unclotlcd blood to keep run ning down their throat. Can Pack Nose If my simple method does not work, a nose specialist can look in with his mirror and pack some cotton or gauze tightly against the bleeding spot. If the person has many severe nosebleeds, he ought to avoid picking his nos-c or blowing it hard. He should have a nose specialist exam ine him to see if he has any local disease that can be heal ed. In rare cases, a man will be found to have in his nose tiny little tufts of fragile blood vessels a so-called heredi tary telangiectasia. Often these red spots can be destroy ed with an electric needle. The man whose nose tends to bleed badly ought to have his blood studied to make sure that it clols normally, and that there is no tendency to leukemia or a diseas'c of the kidneys, or to a disease called purpura, in which black and blue patches appear un der his skin. His blood pres sure should be measured. In very rare cases, a young woman will suffer from what is called vicarious menstrua tion: every month she may bleed from her nose as well as from her womb. The important point I would like to make here is that few persons need to get at all panicky about a nose bleed. The chances arc several thousand to one that it will soon stop. answers to questions like these, send for Dr. Alvarez' booklet on "High Blood Pres sure."

Belching When a person asks nic what I,, rl,i fill- helchillK. 1 wish I could sit down with him and find out more aooui in.,,, 1,1. is twli-hine. how long it keeps up and what painful emotion is causing him to belch. A single belch or two doesn t mean anything ecepi. perhaps, a full stomach. But the belching that lasts for an linur nr two alwavs means a marked degree of nervousness or anxiety or fear 01 some thing. For instance. I remem ber a business man w h o would start belching soon aft er he went to bed and would keep it up until about two o'clock when, from sheer ex haustion, he would fall over and go to sleep. 1 just asked him what he was afraid of, and it turned out that he was manager of a company in which the several big stock holders were lighting omcny among themselves and this made his position almost un tenable. Anybody who keeps belch ing for a half hour or more is swallowing air and bring ing it right up again. It is a nervous habit which a man should promptly try to stop. It won't gel him anywhere; it is like cracking one's knuck les. A sedative may help greatly, especially at night.

Hoffa charged that the Jus tice Department and other government agencies had threatened the bonding com panies with "trouble" if they did business with the union. Under the Landrum-Grifl'ln Labor law, all union leaders handling union funds must be bonded by companies approv ed by the Treasury Depart ment. Hoffa said the government was using the provision to try to force removal of local and international union officers by means other than court action.

"Anyone, virtually anyone, can get a gun," Sgl. Kenneth Carpenter, investigator for the Los Angeles board of police commissioners, lold the sub committee on juvenile delin quency. The Senate group is investi gating interstate traffic in mail order firearms. Carpenter said even though California and Los Angeles have strict regulations over sale and use of firearms, deal ers arc able to operate mail order businesses there "virtu ally uncontrolled." In addition, Carpenter said, "There is no way of knowing how many of these weapons arc being collected lo lorni the secret arsenal of some subversive or revolutionary group." at half the normal puce. The fees aren't all profit. "We know what recreation costs on a private basis," Mikschc said, "and il's very expensive." The speaker said that, for example, Hudspeth has plant ed over a period of time some 500,000 fish of several vari eties in a half-dozen reservoirs in order to improve fishing for its clients. Also, in order to properly exercise supervision over their vast liuldings, the Hud speths found it necessary to set up a communications net work, including two-way ra dios, jeeps and even an air plane. The communications system, Mikschc said, can be used lo assist the member, but it is also used to spot and apprehend game violators. A Natural Resource "Recreation is a natural re source," Mikschc said, "and on the whole the game com mission has been doing a good job of protecting it." But the speaker said he felt the commission has erred in the past in not working more closely wilh the private land owner and in not being care ful to keep the public fully informed on lis activities. "I'm not here today on be half of the game commis sion." he said, "far from it. But I do think it is unfortu nate that all this criticism has developed recently. Because of it, the commission is going to have to devote time, energy and funds to answer the charg- VaMTiNes Thurs., Feb. 14 217 E. Main, Medford, Ore.
