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-

(Chas. Fitahugh Talman in the New
York Times.)
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-

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-’
utcs. and subscqllrnt irlvcstlgatlonsi
of stormy weather about 400 milcs‘
long and only two or three lniles in_
breadth, which advanced, broadside.
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
