While there have been some advances in training and gufglca] skill, the reason that Opcratlgng fife new all-fer and the patient up and around sooner is the im- Droved method of treating the " patient before, during and after an operation. Formerly. a patient -_ unless it Was an emergency — entered the hospital 24 to 48 hours before an operation. was given a purge and an enema, and a starvation diet Io that he would not expend his strength digesting his food and his stomach and intestines would be clean. He thus was really ln a ‘Weak instead of a strong con- . ‘dition to undergo an operation, Today. the patient is "built up" i for the operation by nourishing foods rich in vitamins, minerals "_ grid proteins (the body buildersl. Also, during the operation the anesthetics now in use are safer than before. There is not as much uiausea and vcmiting, and less disturbance of the action of the llungs and heart. One of the greatest complicat- dons and dangers from operations iln the past was peritonitis. Today, ‘with the discovery of the sulfa drugs and penicillin, peritonitis ‘seldom occurs. Patients now are allowed to get out of bed the first day of the - joperation, as it helps their morale, [prevents adhesions and prevents ‘or lessens the gas pains which occur so often after operation. The fact that the patient is allowed to get up to use the toilet instead of the bed pan, helps digestion and prevents constipation. There may be factors entering into some cases where a longer stay in the hospital is necessary, but usually 5 to 10 days is con- sidered sufficient. FMSIIES Arc you going thru the function: middle.

Second Marriages Jealousy 0f First Wile Often Mars Marriage To llutlful Wldewor i One of the wisest and wittiest men who ever lived said that e sec- ond marriage was the final triumrph of hope over experience. Be that as it may, it is undeniably true that whether a. marriage is successful that seems to unfit men and wo- men for single life. ~r This is particularly the case with men, for while the average husband does not go boasting of his conjugal felicity and telling how he adores his dear Marie, if he loses her, he is a. Even if a man's marriage has been un- happy, if his wife dies he has a sort of post-mor- about which he glorlfles her and looks forward to remarriage as to Paradise regained. So it is no wonder that the bereaved widower bewildered and lonesome and doeris't know what to d0 with himself. Hence he remarries and generally he has sense enough to marry in his own age class some woman with whom he is well ac- This makes a second marriage a preferred risk, for even the dumbest of us learn by experience. and the man who has dealt with a. first wife's peculiarities knows how to walk high, wide and handsome around Number ‘Two's little ways. with a grouchy husband has the technique of how t0 butter up his successor arid make him eat out of HUSBAND OFTEN TACTLESS apt to be improvements on first ones, there is one place in which some lameriiably fall down. Even the most intelligent men often do riot sense how wife Number 2 feels Even a congenial idiot, one would think, would have enough brains to realize that a. second wife always feels that she is sitting at the second table and eating the scraps, and that he would not always present line's teeth. But men do it. It is a common thing for a remarried man to make his first wife his theme song and to spend his time holding up Number 1's charms Plenty 0f men, who must have hides as thick as‘ rhinoceroses- make their second wives live in the houses that were built for Number 1. and use Number 1's silver and linen and furniture, and look up on the walls that are covered with pictures of Number l. who commit these crimes don't even know that they are torturing And the ,men over with Jealousy of a first wife and that there isn't a woman who wouldn't rather live in a shack an’; that was the first wife's leavings.
