VALUE ..or nwu m cmcourc muvass on OPERATION

It is alnnost enough to make many Physicians shudder as they remem- b‘? "19 Preparation for surgical Operation in their student days. The patient received m food for a; long as 12 to 24 flours. was given s. purgatlve and sometimes an enema. In this weakened condition. he underwent operation. It was no wonder that the first few days after operation were a source of anxiety to physician and family. and that the average stay in the hospital was two or three weeks after ordinary operations .

What do we find today when an operation is ordered?

The patient received transfusions of whole blood, which prevents shock. The blood transfusions en- rich the blood. help the patient withstand operation and prevent ‘weakness that would prolong con- valesccnce. Immediately after the operation, furl-her transfusions of xvhoie blood, blood cells or blood plasma are given.

That many patients, not requir- ing an operation but in s rim-dorm condition, do well if given blood transfusions is pointed out by Drs. Chairnp Lyons and H. S. Mayerson, New Orleans, in the "Journal of the American Medical Association." The outstanding finding in these cases is a lack of sufficient hemo- globin llronl in tho blood. ‘llhl; lack of iron or thinness of the blood in chronically ill patients is character- ized by: lli loss of weight, i2! loss of ability to withstand the effects of loss of blood during surgical op- eration, (3) delayed or faulty heal- inz of wounds. Mi slow recovery after operation or illness, iii rc- duvcci volrmic 0i‘ blood in the body and reduced amount of iron in ii-ie blood. ‘GI increased amount of fluid present in the tissues.

In the treatment of this run- down condition. blood transfusions give prompt results. Should surgic- al operation be necessary, the pat- ient is in a better condition to ‘withstand the shock and weakness following the operation.

To keep the blood rich in iron. all infections should be removed. and meats (especially liver) eggs. and green vegetables eaten daily. Iron injections or iron take-n by mouth also keeps the blood rich in hemoglobin. ~

Why ls it that families who really love each other so often treat each other with a brutality that they show to no one else on earth? No the why of it. It is just one of the mysteries of human behavior for which no one can offer an adequate explanation. for the vary people who run roughshod over the sensibilities of those nearest and dearest to them are meticulously careful not to tread on the feelings of strangers.

I knew Bells. in the long no. she returns to me now from about some piece of housework such as spreading or collecting a line oi wash; washing a succession of dishes or scrubbing a floor. Per- haps the porch one, sanding it I remember until it would be left all white and new. It is no trouble at all to recall Bella at. this, hand moving steadily in widening cir- cles, eyes intent on her work, but not so engrossed as to be unaware of any audience. In a flash she could know there was lingering near the doorwaycven though it scarcely allowed one_a glimpse of them. “Don't you dast show your noses in here. you young varllnts, you" she would advise us "not be- fore I've finished every inch o: this 811d not before it is as dry as shot" adding with i meaningfu- shake of her head “mind now, I‘n\ telling you!" and at least one among the number of small ones always rather timid felt it was saf- er not to transgress. O O U Our first meeting as I recall it was in the pantry. 'I‘his was a smallish place, scarcely more than an alcove off the kitchen, with a table and an interesting corner cupboard which reached from floor to ceiling. It was of pioneer and substantial construction and as l look back through the years f find it contributed i1 no small de- gree to my educatlon-as-is. As I grew older and was trusted to wash the dishes. a top shelf well stocked with reading matter was apt to ext/and the disli-ivashnig period. "Ellen" some one said to me not too long since when we were on a tour of inspection in s new residence “you must see my corner-cupboard. I'm so proud wt it. It's quaint. you know“ It was attractive indeed. well made and decorated tastefully and rare dishes adorned the shelves. l suspect al- together it represented a sizable sum but to me it was not nearly so fine as the one had been in the old pantry at home which among its contents had included a varied class of reading. I O l Here then in this pantry in the long ago I first met Bella. She was mixing bread in the pan a1‘ n table at tile time while from a convenient perch nearby I swung young lcgs and with much interest watched the undertaking. Not us- ing a snug yeast cake but mixing a light sponge into the sifted flour, a sponge that had been made soot‘ after the noon meal of flour ant.‘ potatoes and a cup of yeast from a bottle of! a shelf in the old dairy in the cellar. I recall now the fas- cination which drew me at this earlier mixing. I invariably loiter- ed near to see the yeast fizz as it was poured from the container or if things were in my favor lr obliglngly blew the cork to the ceiling at the least agitation. Now Bella kneaded the mixture indus- triously while she continued in chew at something. "And what are you eating?" I asked with childish curiosity. "A bit o‘ herrlif" Bella replied. "Herring?" I repeated "raw" "Indeed and its not raw- for all it tastes pretty good that way too. Didn't we have herrin‘ for our dinner? And isn't this a bit that was left over?" “Fish"‘ ! said shrugging my shoulders. And she nodded towards it "sure. I-fave s. taste of it yourself." I wrinkled my nose in a gesture of distaste I sometimes find small grand- daughter using. "Yes" she continu- ed her voice rising "and you don't like it? And you won't ate it at all, at all? Well let me tell you this, my fine young lady, them that don‘t ate fish never has a bit of brains at ull. at all! No sir, not even as much as God gives to geese -and you know how rpuci. that would be. Ellen?" And so it was that Bella brightened and improved many a childish hour of ours with her philosophy - and kindness. And it was strictly ac- cording to her recelpe, received from her in recent years that Jeanie made her Christmas pud- ding. It was most beguiling as it roiled round and spicy from the cloth which had bound it. I O O

COMFORT EACH OTHER

Comfort one another,

For the way is often dreary, And the feet are often weary, And the heart is very sud.

There is a. heavy burden bearing, When it seems that none are car- ing,

And we are half forgot that eve: we were glad.

Comfort ons another with the hand-clasp close and ten der,

With the sweetness love can rm- der,

And the looks of friendly eyes, Do not wait with grace unspoken While life's daily bread is broken- Gentle speech is 1ft like manna from the skies.

“HAPPY WIFE" ACCEPTS FACTS

A woman is wel1 on the way to wisdom when she realizes — That no woman can be all things to any man.

That if she has used tears or s temper tantrum to get her way with her husband. she has paid too high s price for her victory. That a good disposition is more important than beauty in holding a man through the years.

That a man needs success 1A much as a woman needs the secur- ity of feeling loved.

That nothing in the world is im- portant enough to nag about. That a woman's clothes can't give her an air of distinction. Sh’ gives that to the clothes.
