one effective method of apply- ing hair tonic or warm oil to the scalp is by use of a medicine drop- per. In this way it can be applied directly to the roots without muss- ing the hair or getting it oily.

Hard Water

If you are obliged to use hard water for rinsing clothes. add two tablespoons of sweet milk to each tub of water. then add biuing the same as in rain water. In this way the billing will not cause streaks.

Q. Should the mother of a bride- elect or the mother of her fiance give a shower for her?

A. Neither one of these persons should give a shower, as this would be in the nature of inviting gift donations. Properly, only close friends of the bride should give showers for her.

Q. Is it necessary to mail out engraved invitations to an open house one is holding in one's new home?

A. No: this is an informal type of entertainment. and invitations may be extended either personally or over the telephone.

A. Never. if you are not able to extract all the meat with the knife and fork, then you should sacrifice it.

SIMILAR T0 RUlf'.I'UIlED DISC

Many years ago when pain in the lower back (lumbago) and hip and down the leg (sciatica) was be- lieved due to sprain or strain of the sacroiliac joint. the physician was strapping up these patients with bands of 2-inch adhesive tape putting firm pressure over the sac- roiliac joint itself. Practically all his patients improved and were able to resume their occupation in a matter of weeks or months. ,

However, in one case he was not

getting satisfactory results. pain. became worse and he called a general surgeon in consultation.

The surgeon found that the pain was caused by an abscess. which he opened. drained out the pus. and the patient made a good recovery

This taught the physician that conditions other than sacroiliac sprain could cause low back pain and sciatica. Today these cases cii low back pain and sciatica arei found to be really a rupture of a- disc or discs between the last two or three bones of spine in the low-

er back.

While some oi these cases are helped by rest or application of a brace or support, Dr. H. H. Young in the Journal of the lnterntlcnal College of Surgeons. Chicago. states that other lesions or diseases be- sides the rupture or protrusion of the intervertebral disc may cause pain in the lower part of the back.

He prevents twelve cases that ii- lustrate this fact. In four of the twelve cases. bone growth was pres- ent at upper end of the large bone of upper leg-the femur. One of each other conditions or dl5E3Sl15 were present in eight other cases: an abscess of the thigh bone. a fibrous growth on part of thigh bone which is inserted into hip bone, a glomus tumor ta small tumor) made up oi blood vessels covered with muscle - which is very painful - situated behind the knee joint; a twisted cyst of an ovary. a hard mass oi tissue on upper part of hip bone (granu- iomal. tuberculous arthritis of the sacroiliac joint, a slow growhig fibrous tumor of the thigh bone (myeloma). painful swelllngs of the fatty tissue in spinal canal.

Despite all these conditions that cause pain similar to that caused by a ruptured disc, Dr. Young feels that while the ruptured disc or protruded disc is responsible for low back pain and sciatica in the great majority of cases. the disc is not always the cause.

There are so many cases oi rup- tured discs now discovered that physicians mayhaturally not think of these other causes above men- tioned, so Dr. Young states that only by using all available diag- nostic means (X-rays. bending, for- ward. backward and sideways with knees straight. bending and straightening the knees as far as possible, and other tests) will an accurate diagnosis be possible and unnecessary operations such as searching for a ruptured disc. be avoided.
