FACIAL PABALYIIS (IEIJIB PALIY) NOT A PERMANENT PABALYBIS

Sonia years ago I noticed a uni- versity student whose faoe was pulled all to one side. There were no symptoms present at the time -no lameness or other sign of paralysis - so I suspected Bell's palsy. I discovered that this had been diagnosed by his own physi- cian. who had assured him that he would soon be well and there were not likely to be any after effects.

In The Lancet, London, Drs. J. A. James and W. R. Russell state that facial paralysis was recogniz- ed by Dr. Bell in 1821. The term Bell's palsy is now generally used for facial paralysis of the peri- pheral or surface type, and of acute onset, for which no local cause is found.

It often develops when the vic- tim is feeling perfectly well and .. ”' of general infection is seldom found, though the-palsy often follows an infection of nose and throat. Exposure to a draft may suddenly bring on an attack. In the case of my student friend, infection of one of his back teeth was blamed. Drs. James and Russell state that "the actual paralysis is sometimes preceded by some aching pain referred to the mastoid region (the big lump be- hind the ear). Pain below the car may persist for some days after the paralysis appears. There is great variety in the amount of drooping of the paralyzed side of the face."

The disease usually takes one of two courses: (1) Recovery be- gins within one to three weeks and is complete in four to six weeks. This shows a passing or temporary block of the facial nerve; (2) the muscles remain com- pletely paralyzed for two or more.months during which time the electrical reactions show that the facial nerve has degenerated. Usually recovery takes place slowly at an interval of three to nine months from onset.

These two types of facial para- lysis occurred with about equal frequency in the 58 cases of Bell's palsy observed in the outpatient department of these physicians hospital.

"Treatment can be effective only it started within a few hours af- ter onset of the palsy," the doc- tors tell us.

Bell's palsy is not the danger- ous type of paralysis.

the butter or margarine and stir in the lemon juice, 3-4 teaspoon salt and 1-8 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the broiled kidneys on the hot cooked rice and drizzle the sauce over top. Serve piping hot.

Two signs posted in two different store win- dows. in London. England, brought asmile topassersbynot so long ago. The first sign said. "Don't get over excited, when you see these bargains. Come on in and have a.x-eal good fit!" The second bit oi advertising showed a large part of the window with a cover- ing of paste board and a notice hung there saying, "Sorry, our window is broken, but our reduced prices so staggered a woman cus- tomer that she fell thro the win- dowl"

4. 'Ilhurs:lny: Following their first year of Bible history, a group of six-year-old Sunday School students were given crayon and paper and told to sketch off their favorite Bible story. when one budding artist turned in a sketch of an airplane in flight with three figures in the back and a fourth up front, the teacher asked, "And what story does that represent?" "rhe flight into Egypt." the youngster exclaimed.

"Oh yes," beamed the teacher. ”but tell me; I recognize the three in the rear. who is the fourth per- son up front?”

"Aw, that." responded the young- ster. who had confused some of his Biblical characters as well as time. "that's Pontius. the pilot."

A lively day with perhaps golden opportunity for growth. expansion and increase along all lines of endeavor and aspiration in both business and private af- fairs. Ideas. talents, abilities and emotions are splendidly stimu- iated for action and accomplish- ment. The mentality is particu- larly alert to the plomptings oi the creative urge. with keen abili- ties for organizing and detail. in a large way as well as in minu- tlne. This may be recognised and climaxed by ways and means for promoting these, with financial backing and prestige.

Those whose birthday it is are bounteously blessed with ideas. plans, talents and substantial support for establishing and ex- panding towards abundant ful- fillment of the highest hopes and

wishes, this in a commercial. financial, material sense as well as in fields of intellectual,

cultural and social aspiration. The wherewithal is forthcoming for the attainment and pleasures of cherished hopes and wishes,
