PAGE FOUR 1 J THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER, 20, 1928 By James W. Barton, M.D, CHILDEN KNOW MORE THAN PARENTS In these days when young folks have the idea that they know more ' than their parents, which as a mat- ter of fact, has always heen the wy of the world, it would b» inter- esting to know how much truth there is in the idea itself. You will remember that the mil. lions of children that go to school everyday, are being taught facts msbout health, their bodies, food, ventilation, sleep and exercise, that were not even known to teachers fn your schooldays. And even the facts that were known were not taught in your day. Now we see the National Edu- cation Association, which. includes teachers of United States and Can- ada, having as one of the planks fn its platform "health, hygiene, and a knowledge of the structure and function of the human body, are fundamental to human happi- ness. This knowledge creates a rever- ence for the body, begets cleanli- ness in home and surroundings, prevents disease by watchful care, and creates a respect for the other fellow's rights." The school often discovers for the parents the health assets and Mabilities of the: child. You ean readily understand that the recog- nition of defects at thiz time aay prevent years of misery and unhsp- piness, A recent editorial savs "What a pity that the adults of our genera- tion could not have had a similar opportunity.' The great problem of the present day is to make parents know os much as their children are learn- ing about the body in health and disease. So apparenly this Is one place where the growing boy and girl is gettinz first hand knowledge that was denied his parents ---- 8 = , ' "As has been so often said "No matter how much ambition, how much brains you have, you can only go as far in your vursvitg as that body of your will take you." Health is your biggest assef, All that is asked of you in kéeping it is a little common sense and the use of the ever present knowledge of health now within your posses- sion, : the Copyright Act. KING GEORGE'S PROGRESS ON BETTER BASIS (Continued from Page 1) and cyanosis, due to the strain on the heart, 'With the next phase came abatement of the fever and some evi- dence of localization, The blood cul- ture was now negative, toxemia was less, delirium subsidin "Localization in the ®ight lung did not result, at this stage, in effusion as shown by puncture and excellent radiographs, A few days later the temperature rose rather abruptly to a higher level and on December 12 there was evidence at the extreme right base of effusion which had commenced between the lung and the diaphragm, Drainage by means of a rib re-section was performed the same day under a general anaesthesia --gas, oxygen, cther, A prominent organism in the empyema has now been established to be identical with the streptococcus found in the blood, Though the infective progress has become gradually localized, its sever- ity, coupled with lowered vitality, ret sulting from the length of the illness, must make progress of the healing difficult 'and' tedious. Locul slough- ing, however, is less pronounced to- day and tissue reaction is apparent. Ultra-Violet Rays "To stimulate .the vitality of the tissues, brief general exposure to ul- tra-violet rays from a mercury lamp have been' made 'each day since De- cember 15, The effect of these ex- posures is being checked by leucoc- cyte counts and estimation of the bactericidal power of . the patient's blood. There is reason to think that this employment of the ultra-violet rays has, in combination with the treatment mentioned in previous statements, been beneficial, and it is hoped that the foregoing account will help toward understanding of the future course of the illness, "It will be apparent to medical men that not only the severity and (Registered in accordance with | length of the infection but the ex- haustion resulting therefrom must make pr ress slow and difficult, At the same time, the dangerous phases of the illness have been surmounted and there are increasingly solid grounds for hoping that recovery will result from this long, anxious struggle."

"It is funny--Mr. Lewis does not understand," Hemon told his immediate superfor.

Gavigan, Warwick farmer, discov- ered that his best heifer had been killed in the barn during the night and only its head and entrails left, The thieves showed every sign of being experienced butchers. They neglected, . however, to skin the head and police are hopeful that with this clue the hide can be trae- ed, em fused a 100, per, cent increase os.' -- CHRISTAS GIFT T0 BOY IS TRIP TO HAVE OPERATION Hamilton, Dec, 20--Terming it "a Christmas box," the hospital board this afternoon decided to send Fred Sheppard, 104 Tuxedo Avenue, aged 8 years, to Philadelphia, where an expert will remove a small pin from the lad's lung, Dr. W, F. Langrill, superintendent, stated the patient was admitted three days ago. With the aid of the X- ray the pin has been located, but the necessary surgical instruments to perform the operation are not avail- able here, Dr. Langrill said infce- tion would result and added that the skilled hand of Dr. Chevalier Jack- son, nationally-known surgeon - of Philadelphia, could remove the pin, "He is an inventive genius and can invent the special instrument raquir- ed for this yery difficult operation," advised Dr, Langrill, He added that the journey would mean a heavy cx- penditure, * The boy's father is anxi= ous to do all in his power to help, but the total contribution he could make would not be sufficient to meet the expenses, Young Sheppard's life might be lost if infection were allowed to de- velop and eomplications set in, the Board members feared. They will- ingly agreed to add from the hos- pital funds what the parents could not pay. Dr. Langrill was instructed to make the necessary arrangements, and by the week-end the journey to Philadelphia' will be started, It was discovered that the appro- priation did not include an item for such work, It is the first time that the Board has had a case oi this nature to deal wtih. T. H. Pratt suggested that it be included in the accounts as a Christmas gift, and the Board unanimously agreed, The boy had the pin in his mouth and gagged. He swallowed it and it the lung, Local specialists have made PFattempts to reach it, but the instru- ments available here are two inches short. The pin can be seen plainly in X-ray pictures, The patient is not in pain, but a delay in performing the operations will prove serious medical men agree, Dr. Langrill reported that days ago doetors removed a few a tin | hew ing tobacco trade mark from a| | lad's throat, ALL READY FOR CHRISTMAS / each week.
