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;

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 the others that suffer from
i the effects of rheumatism

! 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.

Many persons want to know
why occasionally they have a
nosebleed. 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.

these, send for Dr. Alvarez'

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.

Mail-Order Firearm
Sales Investigated
Washington -ill'H- A Los
Angeles police officer testi
fied at a Senate hearing today
that the rising juvenile crime
rale is being accelerated by
the mail order sale of fire
arms. "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-
