Operate for
Gall Bladder
Inflammation
By DRi JAMES W- BARTON
W HEN a patient has an at
tack of acute gall bladder
trouble with severe pain in up
per right abdomen going over
into the shoulder
it has been the
custom to wait un
til all symptoms
have disappeared
before operating.
This would appear to be wise
when we think of how *‘low ,,
these patients are inspirits aside
from the exhausting resists of
the attack.
It comes then as a surprise when
we learn that physicians and sur
geons today are advising early oper
ation in acute inflammation of the
gall bladder as they believe that less
damage to the patient’s general
health results from operation than
allowing a severe or repeated attack
to affect the general health.
Dr. F. Glenn, New York, in Sur
gery, Gynecology and Obstetrics,
Chicago, records the
histories of the 219
patients with acute
cholecystitis (in
flammation of the
gDfl bladder) who
have been treated at
the New York hos
pital in the last six
years. Early opera
tion. is not difficult,
there was not a
greater number of
complications, nor
was the death rate
higher than for ordinary or chronic
gall bladder diseases.
Dangers of Delay.
Dr. Glenn states that as the out
come of an acute inflammation of
the gall bladder cannot be predict
ed (even as in acute appendicitis),
delay in operating may lead to dan
gerous complications which greatly
increase the difficulty of'operation
and increase the death ra4e also.
The younger the patient undergoing
operation, the better the. chance of
an uneventful recovery and good re
sult from operation.
From his observation of these 2ft
cases, Dr. Glenn recommends that
patients with disease of the. gall
bladder and bile tubes or ducts un
dergo operation as soon £s it is
known that this disease is present
unless the general condition of the
patient is such that further medical
treatment should first be given.

Facts Regarding
High Blood Pressure
'TpHERE was a time when the first
thought when a patient had a
temperature was to give a drug—
acetanilid, phenacetine, quinine, or
other—to reduce the temperature.
Today, the physician takes the tem
perature and pulse as usual but
searches around to find the cause of
the temperature. If the tempera
ture gets very high, he may give
some drug to reduce it slightly but
he knows that the rise in tempera
ture shows that nature is putting up
a fight against some invader.
It would seem that the time has
come for patients and physicians to
take the same stand about blood
pressure. A patient learns that his
blood pressure is a little above nor
mal add wants to take medicine or
follow a diet to bring it down.
Dr. Edward Weiss of Philadelphia
in “Practical Talks on Kidney Dis
ease,” says:
“Let us take the example of a
middle-aged man who has been
turned down by a life insurance
company because of high blood pres
sure. He goes to his physician and
demands to know the blood pressure
figures; on each visit to the physi
cian he waits with anxious concern
to hear the latest reading and fre
quently has ideas of ‘stroke,’ ‘heart
failure,’ or Bright’s disease in the
back of his mind.”
Why Nature Raises Blood Pressure.
Now, what about high blood pres
sure? As a matter of fact, nature
has raised the blood pressure be
cause it was necessary to raise or
increase it due to some condition
present in the body. This condition
may be a real or organic condition
such as hardening of the arteries,
or it may be some condition such
as eating too much or worrying too
much. It is possible that some in
fection is present which is giving the
body processes more work to do
and the blood pressure increases
accordingly.
All that is necessary in many
cases is smaller meals, more rest
and relaxation, and not bothering to
have the blood pressure taken moro
than two or three times a year.
QUESTION BOX
Q.—Could you suggest any sort of
ear plugs to keep noises from pre
venting me from sleeping? I am
having a great deal of trouble.
A.—Rubber ear stoppers used by
swimmers to keep water out of the
ears can be purchased in most drug
stores. Absorbent cotton helps to
some extent. A special wax which
yon can mold yourself to fit in ear
canal likewise can be purchased in
some stores.

A CHANGE IN THE MEAT COURSE
(See Recipes Below)
“Meat makes the meal,” especial
ly when there are husky, hard-work
ing men to feed. But for those be
hind the scenes in the kitchen, think
ing up a different and a flavorsome
meat dish for each day out of the
seven is no small task.
There are two ways to approach
the problem. First, investigate
some of the less-
common cuts.
You’ll find them
thrifty to buy be
cause the demand
for them is less.
Most of them
fairly abound in good flavor and
need only to be properly cooked to
be serious rivals to more expensive
cuts.
If you are buying pork, ask the
meat dealer to prepare you a hand
some rolled sirloin roast. It’s a
thrifty cut not so well known as the
pork loin roast but it has decided
advantages. \Two sections of the
pork sirloin are boned and tied to
gether into a solid roll of meat. The
round, compact slices offer no ob
structions to the knife, and are the
answer to a carver’s prayer. The
picnic shoulder of pork is another
cut of exceptional flavor. Have it
boned, stuff it with spinach and
roast it.
If it’s too soon for another leg of
lamb, buy a section of lamb breast
and have it rolled with a layer of
sausage. Slice off the meat as you
would a jelly-roll; you’ll have the
neatest pinwheels imaginable.
Lamb shoulder and lamb shoulder
chops are two other not-so-well-
known possibilities.
The second way to coax some va
riety into your meat dishes is to
try new ways of flavoring cuts that
you serve often. If much of your
meat supply comes from a frozen
foods locker, this is your best bet.
Have pork chops cut double thick
and stuff them with a tart -mix
ture of sauerkraut and apple. Your
family will beam approval when
you serve that combination! Or
make your next ham loaf like an
upside-down cake so that when you
turn it out, there are rows of bright-
as-a-dollar apricots across the top.
Try canned gooseberries as a relish
with ham or beef, or canned Dam
son plums with veal.
Pork Chops Stuffed With Sauerkraut

the mixture. Sea- f \
son them with /
salt and pepper ^
and brown on
both sides in hot
fat in a heavy skillet. Add sauer
kraut juice, cover, and finish the
cooking in a moderate oven (350
degrees). Bake for \Vz hours, and
remove the cover during the last
15 minutes of baking to brown the
chops.

kle with salt and pepper. Arrange
slices of thinly cut onion and lemon
over steak. Dilute tomato soup with
water and pour over steak. Bake in
a moderate oven (350 degrees) for
2 hours uncovered.
Boneless Sirloin Pork Roast
With Stuffed Apples.
Have the meat retailer remove
the tenderloin and bones from two
sirloin sections, reverse the ends,
and tie the two boneless pieces to
gether in a compact rolled roast.
Season with salt and pepper and
place with the fat side up in an
open roasting pan. Make an inci
sion to the center of the roast and
insert a meat thermometer so that
the center of the bulb reaches the
center of the fleshiest part of the
meat. Place the roast in a mod
erate oven (350 degrees) and roast
until the thermometer registers 185
degrees Fahrenheit. Allow about 30
minutes per - pound for roasting.
Serve with rice-stuffed apples.
Rice-Stuffed Apples.
6 medium-sized baking apples
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup rice (cooked)
1 tablespoon butter

Wash apples and cut a slice from
the top of each. Remove the cores
and seeds and sprinkle the cavities
with brown sugar. Mix cooked rice
with melted butter and stuff each
apple. Arrange them in a baking
pan with the water in the bottom
and bake for \Vz hours, or until ten
der in a moderate oven (350 de*

and sewed on two sides at the mar
ket. This leaves one side open for
inserting the stuffing. Season the
surface of the pork shoulder with
salt and pepper. Combine the spin
ach, onion, butter, lemon juice and
bread crumbs. Season with salt
and pepper and use to fill the cavity
of the roast. Sew or skewer the

CHRIST’S VALUATION OF
PERSONALITY
LESSON TEXT—Luke 14:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment?—
Matthew 6:25.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
People, people, and more people!
Have you ever said, “I’m just so
tired of people. I wish I could
get away from everybody”? Most
of us have felt that way some time
and have possibly needed and de
served a rest. We must not permit
that feeling to so color our thinking,
however, that we lose our interest
in men and women, boys and girls.
Jesus had His times of prayer and
quiet communion with the Father,
but for the most part we find Him
out among people. He loved them
and consequently dealt faithfully
with them, showing tenderness to
those who needed it, and often be
ing severely plain and' direct in
dealing with those who were hypo
crites. He valued human person
ality highly, hence He gave Himself
in sacrificial devotion to winning,
guiding, controlling and, above all,
saving men.
The lesson presents some inter
esting contrasts.
I. How and How Not to Use the
Sabbath (w. 1-6).
Jesus was at a formal gathering
with invited guests (v. 7) in one
of the chief houses of the Commu
nity, on the Sabbath Day. That such
a gathering was held on that day
was a sign of the degeneracy of the
age. “The same thing is being done
on Sunday by Christian people to
day. They go to church (if con
venient) in the morning and devote
the afternoon and evening to recre
ation and social” occasions. We
agree with Dr. Morgan that “the
whole thing is a sign of spiritual
decadence.” That’s how not to spend
the day of rest and worship.
Another wrong thing was that they
used the occasion to try to entrap
Jesus. He was at the feast, not to
“have a good time,” but to minister
to their spiritual needs. They
brought the sick man in to tempt
Jesus to heal on the Sabbath Day.
He used their trickery to condemn
them and to silence them (vv. 4, 6).
Declaring God’s truth and His
love for man by worship and by
work for Him—that is the right way
to use the Lord’s Day. Let’s get
back to its proper observance.
II. What and What Not to Do for
Advancement (w. 7-11).
Getting ahead, even at the expense
of others, seems to have been quite
the thing in our Lord’s time, as it
is today. Looking at that smug, self-
satisfied crowd of “grabbers,” Je
sus made good use of His presence
at the fe^st to exppse their folly and
selfishness. Again we agree with
Dr. Morgan that one should not “try
for the chief seat. Why not? Be
cause the place of honor is for the
honorable man; and a man who
struggles to sit in the place of honor
proves thereby that he is not an
honorable man.” Think it over!
The way up in spiritual things is
always down. Humility, which is so
despised by the world, is precious
in the sight of God, and will be re
warded by Him. The principle stat
ed in verse 11 is and always will
be true. The young man or woman
who really wants to get ahead will do
well to let it control both thought
and deed. It is a far better rule
for the New Year than any resolu
tion you may have made—and prob
ably forgotten by now.
III. Who and Who Not to Invite
for Dinner (vv. 12-14).
Is the Lord interested in such a
matter as that? Indeed He is! Ev
erything about life concerns Him,
and, as a matter of fact, this is a
i very important point. Here an at
titude toward life is revealed which
is vital and fundamental.
Hospitality is a virtue highly re
garded by the Bible (see such pas
sages as Rom. 12:13; I Tim. 3:2;
Titus 1:8; I Pet. 4:9). To debase it
by asking only those whom we ex
pect will ask us in return, is really
to destroy it. It is not hospitality
at all to limit our invitations to
those who invite us. Obviously we
are not to cut them off simply be
cause they do ask us. That is not
the point. We are not to let that be
the controlling factor.
Ask those who cannot pay you
back, if you really want to get a
J blessing out of it. There is so much
need in the world that we who fol
low Christ have little time to spend
merely entertaining those who have
no need. God will recompense. Dr.
J. W. Bradbury in The Gist of the
Lesson well says, “There is a good
reason not to seek recompense here;
there are more enduring and valu
able recompenses hereafter (Matt.
6:1-6, 16-18). When we get no rec
ompense here for the good we do,
we ought rather to rejoice than be
sad. It assures better recompense
hereafter.”
He goes on to say, “The profess
ing church has often followed the
world’s method rather than Christ’s
(James 2:1-6).” Sad—but true.
What shall we do about it?

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and
Comfort Stomach, too
When constipation brings' on acid in-
Higestion, Stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and
bad breath, your stomach is probably
“crying the blues” because your bowels
don’t move. It calls for Laxative-Senna
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin to save
your tduchy stomach from further dis
tress. For years, many Doctors have used
pepsin compounds as vehicles, or car
riers to make other medicines agreeable
to your stomach. So be sure your laxa
tive contains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on
Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative Senna combined
with Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully
the Laxative Senna wakes up lazy nerves
and muscles in your intestines to bring
welcome relief from constipation. And
the good old Syrup Pepsin makes this
laxative so comfortable and easy on
your stomach. Even finicky children
love the taste of this pleasant family
laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative
Senna at your druggist today. Try one
laxative that comforts your stomach, too.
