SEVERAL CAUSES H IACA some years ago I noted arthritis specialist compared the pain of arthritic rheumatism with the pain of sciatica. He stated that the pain 'rom arthritis is like the pain from a vise which has been turned as .ight as possible, but the pain from sciatica is like that of the same rise but given one extra turn. In ither words. sciatica (inflammation of the largest. nerve in the bodyi is more severe than arthritis (inflam- mation of the Jollll and muscles and ligaments Hdjollllllg R jfllnli.

During the past few years it has been found that a ruptured disc ilittle CllSll.t'ill between bones of lower spinet pressed on the ITYQIS, of the sriii'ir llPll'i" and caused scia-I tica. So niiitiy of these cases are: now being rrportcd that Dr. Alpers states that while the ruptured disc is perhaps the commonest. cause. physic:ans are apt to blame all, cases of sciatica on the ruptured therniotedt disc and ignore or for-, zet the tariotis other causes. Thusi he shows in table form that of 354l zases of sciatica, 203 (57 per centt were due to mptnred disc. usually oetween the fourth and fdfth bones, of the spine in lower back (lumbar region). l Other neurologists report as highi as 90 per cent. of ruptured discs as the cause of their sciatica cases and others that the ruptured discs aause as low as 20 per cent. This may be explained by the fact that where the was very severe and disabli .,. the disc was the cause and where the pain was less severe. in only 20 per cent was Ihel disc the cause. '”l'he diagnosis is usually made with a history of pain in back of thigh. usually tbut not. alwayst with pain in lower back associated in about half the cases with a his- tory of exertion or injury charac- terized often by onset of the pain in the back with bending or lifting.l The leg pain may extend to the. knee, or into the calf to ankle aiidl toot. Pain zs aggravated by cough- ing and sneezing and is usually relieved by lying down." Treatment of sciatica caused by, pressure on spinal roots is bed rest. with bed boards, heat. in various 'orms, drugs such as salicylates and codeine and operation if this treat- 'nent fails to give relief. t'”””COI.GATE”'” .

When gathering the rose petals on the lawn of the rose garden these days I keep thinking of the lovely perfume and wishing for I jar to be saved for the winter months. The rose is not merely the most exquisitely scented and com- pact of flowers but in its climbing form it has It grace that would make it independent of flower, and A plant for poets to sing of if it never had a bud. But in this form it becomes the most generous of all, and gives forth its blossoms by Fears Boy Only Li She Resemblos H strel show, I met Rob, at that time Saturday night. semblance to his that it's true. Robi has now to wait until he like him to. I am thousands. The rose, not only in its beauty but in its death, in the theme of sentiment. When in its splendour it suddenly fails. it dies the most gorgeous death, and after it does not cease to be cherished. nor do its sweets become extin- guished. First a cloud of fragrance. Then one 5865 Coronets of ivory. coral. and gold. Full of luscious treasure for the bees. This is the Honeysuckle vine with the pale pink climbing rose and flowers will be found all season on this old-fashioned vine. The garden has been filled with fra- grances of the many shrubs and plants and now the Phlox is be- ginning and the lovely perfume will fill the air for the summer. Seedlings of Delphinium were weeded last week. and it was a task, as they had been neglected and weeds were high. There are I few beautiful specimen Delphinium blooming in the garden and the work was lightened by the thought of dozens more being added to the garden next year. Hollyhicks are blooming! Tall perennials are needed especially in a large country garden and these flowers lift. column-like, I stem bright with roseate blossoms in many colors. Sometimes they seed in out of the way places and they are left there in this garden and quite often are very attractive. The tuberous Begonias have be- come covered with bloom in the little garden room but the garden planted have only begun and visi- tors who saw them in other sum- mers are asking for them. The season has been delaying for them but they will soon be lovely. It. is flattering to have someone ask for a particular flower they have seen on past. visits to the garden, but it is embarassing to say that they are not so good this year. or that they have disappeared from the garden. Sometimes of course, they ask for some flower that has pass- ed its blooming for this season, or perhaps has not come into bloom. Every plant has a definite season of blooming and sometimes they vary with the weather but it is not for long. A garden diary has been kept for 20 years and it is interesting to know that there is very little change in the garden blooming of the different plants all of this time. The Sedums have been love- ly this year in the rock garden. Their habit of growth is pleasing as they creep among the rocks and are covered with rosy red blooms, They also come in creamy white and a visitor liked them so much that roots were dug up and will grow even when covered with bloom. They are very hardy and have lived in this garden for years. . . . Photographs of the garden in natural color are A real joy because they can be taken when the flower is at its best ( a short. period of time we all know). Today some colored photographs of the crim- son Poppy which were taken close- up were received. It is difficult to believe that they were so beauti- ful so short 8. time ago. Now the foliage is becoming yellow with age and there is no beauty in it. Close by, a beautiful blue Lupine was blooming and they made a good combination but it is a mis- take to have two early blooming perennials near as they make quite a space to be filled in with later blooming plants. Fall blooming As- ter: and mauve Phlox will carry on very soon but in a garden where there is supposed to be continuous ibloom and color and no faded fotl- o She Doubts His Lov E Ito: Her Because is Former Flame DEAR.

Thofar Say - - By Genevieve lcnhlo For Tomorrow PLACE particular emphasis on courtesy and tact this day. since friction among associates is pos- sible. A sense of humor will go a long way toward keeping relation- ships amenable as well as seeing you through a day of comparative- ly monotonous chores. The siderenl aspects become more favorable for initiative and enterprise in it cou- ple of days. so relax in the mean- time nnd stick to scheduled rou- tines. Even though events are moving slowly, you will make greater headway if you work alone. for co- operation is particularlyy nil during this period. Where household mat- ten: are concerned, this is an ex- cellent time to plan for renova- tions and improvements if they are not on the extravagant side.
