CAUSE OF LUMBAGO. SCIATICA LOW BACK PAIN

You bend down to pick up some-

thing from the floor and as you straighten up you feel a sharp pain in lower back or in hip. And the pain remains until you assume a cer- tain position. or take aspirin or other pain killing drug.

Perhaps you take a good dose of

epsom salts or a seldlltz powder and the pain goes away temporarily.

This condition ~was called lumbago

or sciatica in the past. but now anew name has been given it-myofascitis, which simply means an inflammation of the muscles and coverings of mus- cies.

It is due to ,infection from some

source in the body, and the teeth and tonsils have been blamed, and rightly blamed for a great many of the cases, but Dr. Fred H. Albee tells us that while infected teeth and tonsils may have been the starting point. that the condition often per- sists for a long time after the bad seth and tonsils have been removed. Why? _ _ Because these poisons still remain

ln the lower intestine, and are ab-

_The treatment then is obvious, It means clearing intestine daily with

or injections into lower intestine.

However, there are a couple of

points to remember.

A considerable number of these low

back pains are due to strain, and rest and the application of adhesive strappings' about the sides and back of the hips joints is indicated, to- gether with considerable rest lying down.

And the other point is that the

bad teeth or tonslls should he immed- iately removed, as they are really the factory that is making the po1gon_ Therefore no one should be satisfied to suffer with sciatica or lumbago, and simply allay the pain with as- pirin. _

There is some definite cause which

should be located, and the likely places to find it are the teeth, ton-

No comprehensive history of storms

has ever been written. There ore, to be sure, several statistical records of the storms of particular regions. extending over decades or even cen- turies, and there are many works of a general character dealing with the various types of storm: but there is no single book to which one may turn for information about all the storms, ancient and modern. that may be regarded as "historic" in the sense that, after the lapse of years, they still form the subject of occa- sional literary allusion, scientific dis- cussion or popular inquiry. A “Who‘s Who Among the Storms" is a needed addition to literature.

Such a work would set forth, for

example, the known facts about the tempest that shattered the great fleet assembled by Xerxes for the invasion ot Greece. Herodotus has left a history of this storm, as well as of several other notable tempests of antiquity. No survey of medieval storms would be complete without an account of the one that is said io have induced Edward III of England to conclude peace with France 'and sign the Treaty of Bretigny.

The English were encamped near

Chartres in April, 1360, when, in the words of Froissart, “there happened such a storm and violent tempest of thunder and hail. which fell on the English army, that it seemed as if the whole world were come to an end. The hailstones were so large as to kill men and beasts, andthe boldest were frightened. The King turned himself toward the Church of Our Lady at Chartres and religiously vowed 'to the Virgin that he would accept terms of peace.”

The Wreck of ‘the Armada.

The glies that strewed the wrecks or nal: me spanish Armada on the 1_ri.-lr and scottish coasts ln ioaa be- long to history; but\ilttle is known about them meteorologically, while the historical facts conceming_them have, until recently, been much dis- torted. It appears now to be set- led that the unseaworthiness of the ships and the amazing incompetence of their navigators had much more to do than stress of weather with the disasters that befell them, so

that the gales in question may have been no worse than the average At- lantic storm.

The earliest storm in the world’s

history of which we possess today a circumstantial knowledge was that known as the "Great Storm" of No- vember, l703, or sometimes as "De- fce's Storm," because the author of "Robinson Crusoe" wrote a, book about lt. It was one of the few known examples of a widespread cy- clonic storm far outside the tropics attended by winds comparable in force to those of tropical hurricanes.

This storm wrecked hundred of

houses and thousands of trees. killed 123 people on land and injured many more. Upward of 8,000 seamen per- ished. including some 1,500 men of the Royal Navy. The first Eddy- stone lighthouse was destroyed in this storm. Its architect, Winston- iey, had expressed the hope of being in the building during the worst gale ii' should ever experience and his wish was tragically accomplished. He had gone to the lighthouse the day before to superintend some repairs,

and he never returned.

Facts From Log-Books

Although this storm happened long

before the days of weather bpreaus. the principal facts conceming its ex- tent and movements have been gath- ered by an English meieorologist of our own times, Henry Harrles. from various contemporary sources, includ- ing the log-books of British naval vessels. Reports from the Tyne and Copenhagen, the most northerly points from which observations are available, show that the storm centre passed well to the northward of those localities, yet the fury of the gale extended as far south as the Medi- terranean. _

That a storm may become famous

without being either Wolent or de- structive is illustrated in the case of "Franklin's Storm" of 1743. On the evening of Oct. 21 of that year Ben- jamin Franklin had planned to view an eclipse of the moon at Philadel- phia, but was prevented from doing so by claude attending a "northeast etorm"; i. e., a spell of stormy weath- er beginning with northeast winds. Nothing was then known about the blowing of winds around storm cen- tres. and Franklin supposed that this storm had come from the some di- rection as the wind.

I-Ie was therefore surprised to learn

that the eclipse was well observed at Benton. when the etonn did not ar- rive until some hours after it reached Philadelphia. He subsequently found that other “northeast storms" ba- haved in the some manner. and thus gained the`flr-at inning of what ie

known today abouteyolonic storm

movements. “!rauklin’| Storm" was

‘like innumerable others that have crossed the country before and since. but it is now looked back uD°ll “-5 a milestone in the history of meteor- ology.

Next on the .list of historic storms

comes the “Great Hurricane". or the “Barbados Hurricane," of 1780. This was the second of three severe trop- ical cyclonee that visited the West Indies in 'October of that year, and it is generally accounted the most disastrous tempest of modem times. Approaching Barbados from the southeast on Oct; 10, the storm swept over the Lesser Antilles and Porto Rico. and then recurved to the north- east, passing east of Bermuda. Its course was fully traced many years afterward .by Colonel Reid, a pioneer student of cyclones. who utilized for this purpose information contained in the logs of the many 'British and French worships- that were, at the time of the storm, engaged in hos- tilities in West Indian waters. The devastation wrought by this storm was appalling. Every house ln Bar- bados was destroyed ,9.000 lives were lost in Martinique, 6,000 in St. Lucia. 4,000 to 5,000 in St. Eustatius and great numbers in other islands, while the loss of life at sea was even great- er than on land.

The most furious tempest to visit

the British Isles during the nine- teenth century probably was that of Jan. 8 and 7, 1839. It caused great destruction of property in England and Ireland, there were many dis- astrous ehipwrecks on the British. coasts and many lives were lost by land and sea.

The System of Storm Warnings The "Crimean Storm" of Nov. 14.

1854. roused the loss of many ships lying at Balaklava, including several laden with stores for the allied arm- ies engaged in the siege of Sebnsbo-' P01- The loss of these stores result- ed in intense suffering among the troops during the bitter Winter that followed. One of the vessels wreck-' ed was the -French warship Henri IV. The astronomer I4 Verrier, at that time director of the Imperial- Observatory at Paris, was thus led to make a study of the storm, in _which he traced its course across Europe from west to east.

The results of this inquiry were so

significant that he submitted to the Emperor Napolean III the plan of organizing an international system of telegraphic reports, by means of which timely waming could be ob- tained of similar atmospheric dis- turbances. The French Government with the co1laboration~of other Euro- pean countries. established such a system in 1855, which served as a mo- del for the storm-warning and weather-forecasting services that now exist in most. parts of the civilized world.

In 1859 the British Association for

the Advancement of Science advo- cated the.establishment, of a tele- graphio storm-waming service for the British Isles. A few weeks later this recommendation was strongly reinforced by the wreck of the steam clipper Royal Charter, bound from Melbourne to Liverpool, which went ashore on the coast of Wales in the gale of Oct. 25-28, since known as the "Royal Charter Storm." One of the descriptions of this shipwreck. in which more than 450 lives were lost, was written by Charles Dickens. An investigation of the storm was made by Admiral Robert Fitzroy, whose papers and charts relating to it mark an epoch in the development of prac- tical meteorology. The proposed storm-warning service began work under FitzRoy’s direction the follow-

ing year. ~

“Snxhy's Gale.”

On Oct. 4. 1869, the coasts of New

Brunswick and the adjacent parts of Maine and Nova Scotia were visit- ed by a violent storm, accompanied by a tide of extraordinary height. This storm, which apparently came up from the West Indies and caused heavy rains in the Eastern United States before reaching Canada, was called "Baxby's Gale," because a Lieu- tenant Baxby of the’.Brltish Navy had announced a year previously that a great storm and high tide would oc- cur on Ooh 5. Baxby‘s prediction, based on supposed influences of the moon. appears to have been entirely indefinite as to the place where the storm would occur so that its verifi- cation somewhere in the world with- lnadayofthetimestatedwasnot at all remarkable. The "Nova Scotia Cyclone.’ 'of Aug. 14-21, 1818, was o West India hurri- cane. which swept northward off the American cout and caused immense destruction of 91119010 in the Marl- time Provinces. The number of vea- uls wrecked by this tremendous gale was 1,338, with a known lou of 223 lives. The storm seriously crippled the _fishing industries of Canada and the United ltliel.

an abnormal rise of the tldc. As the storm passed northward over the Bay of Bengal the waves spreading out from the centrc inundated the is- lands and low shores at the mouth of the Megna in the early morning of Nov. 1 to a depth of from ten to forty feet. The rise of water occurred in less than half an hour, drowning about 100,000 people, and destroying all the crops. A famine and il. chol- era epidemlc resulting from the storm caused a further loss of 100,- ooo lives. '

The "Eurydice Squall" of March

24, 1878, was a storm that, like those of 1743, 1854 and 1859, already men- tioned, is now remembered mainly because of its influence on the pro- gress of meteorology. The small British frigate Eurydlce, serving as a training ship and homcirard hound from the West Indies, was off Vent- nor, Isle of Wight, running with nil sails set before a moderate wcster-l

ly Wind. Almost without. warning she was struck by a furious squnll.

Before sail could bo shortened she heeled over, water poured into hor open ports, and she sunk with all hands, except two seamen, who were

rescued by a passing vcsscl. i

The squall lasted only a few min-’

on, over the British Isles. Such dis- _ turbances are now called “line- squalls." and the first knowledge oti them was gained through the study ` or this disaster. i A gale that swept Scotland on Dec.

28, 1878, is remembered as the _cause

oi the “Tay Bridge Disaster.” 'Thc|i railway bridge over the Firth of Tay at Dundee had been completed the year before. On the evening 'of the day mentioned, at thc height of the storm. a large part of the struciurc . gave way while a train was crossing it and fell into the river. Of thc seventy-five persons in the train not one survived the accident. This dis- aster is memorable from an engin- eering standpolnt because of the stimulus it gave to the study ol wind

pressure on structures.

On Feb. 19, 1884, an unparalleled

series of tornadoes occurred from Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois eastward _to Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. There were about sixty separate tomadocs, which are said to have killed 800 people, injured about 2,500 and destroyed more than 10,000 buildings. There is much uncertainty. however. about these figures.

The Blizzard of 1888.

The blizzard of March 11-14, 1888,

known as the "Great March Bliz- aard," the "New York Blizzard” and. ln New Hampshire, the "Town- Meeting Storm” (because it prevent- ed attendance at scheduled town meetings) interrupted travel and talegraphic commlmlcatlon for sever- ai days in Southem New York, East- ern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Southern New England. ` High winds filled the air with blinding snow, which drifted to a depth of ten to fifteen feet in New York, New Ha. ven and other cities. Some drifts of over thirty to fourty feet were re. Wrted. The hurricane winds on the cout caused great damage and lcon tc shipping. ,
