What Ik Neiroloff! , Many persons are confusci T>y the terms neurology and psychiatry and yet ia understanding the definitions a great distinction is noted between the two fields of medicine, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society observes in a Health Talk. . Neurology covers the physical diseases that affect the entire nervous system which includes the ' brain, its connecting spinal cord, located ia the spine itself, aiid the many, nerves extending from the spinal cord to various. parts of the body. Psychiatry deals with the emotional or mental disturbances of the mind, stirred up in the brain and related to the mind itself through thoughts, attitudes and behavior patterns, -Thus' the nervous system ik" a complex structure of wiring that may be compared to a telephone system, The brain is the central office where all coniniunicatio.is ftVe received and sent. In other .word*, if touch something, see an object, whether uoconsciously or deliberately, a group of nerves goes into action on a message from the brain. Certain sections of the brain are charged with different responsibilities, so, that actually to reach for the object a group of nerves directs the | muscles necessary to bring up the arm and hand to pick up the object. In the same manner, your eyes notice a person or "an object tQward you. They in turli send the message to the central office In the brain. Again the relay is started, the nerves to the muscles and up come the arms to ward off the falling object. When an infection, injury, disease or growth affects ^tny part of the nervous system, one result is noticed and that is an interference in the telephone system, causing a blocking in the service. Thus if a certain part of the brain is affected, the rtuult may be hemiplegia or paralysis of one side of the body. If, however, another part of the brain is affected, . or a part of the connecting-link --the spinal cord--the person may lose the use of both legs, a dition known as paraplegia. If the back part of the brain is affected, called the cerebellum, a condition develops known as staxia and is evidenced by lack of muscular coordination. The victim will wallc in a weaving fashion, much liko a person docs who' is intoxicated. These arc some conditions that ottjur^hen the-t»nitn^-is affected. In the same manner when t.he nerves or wiring system are attacked, again interference in the telephone service is noted. If one L J" •»?

Nutritional deficiencies may be the cause, or the taking of medicines either advertised or perhaps recommended by a friend. Thus self-diagnosis or self-medication may lead to the development of some form of neuritis, which will affect tint telephone wires in various parts of the body. As a result, the individual may lose the use of his hands or feet, known as wrist and foot drop, respectively. When the nervous system is functioning normally, the reflexes are normal. Many different tests are performed to determine whether an interference in the nervous system is present. For example, a tapping at a certain place beneath the knee will cause the foot to jerk involuntarily, which is the normal reflex action, in certain conditions where the wire system is disturbed the patient will not feel the stick of a pi.i. And so in neurology the physical changes of the nervous system are studied and by a series of tests it is possible to check the patient's sensibility, thus establishing the area or site involved.

BECK CO. 21 Douglas Ave Tel. 1546 Elgin, 111. $2,250 ANNOUNCED r Tf AS COUNTY QUOTA IN ARTHRITIS DRIVE Letters prepared last week by David Joslyn and his co-chairmen in McHenry county's drive for the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation have told hundreds of residents in this area how, during this week they can, "help end rheumatic suffering". The promise that the new miracle drugs. ACTH and Cortisone, hold for seven and one-Half million arthritis victims in this country will be brought closer to realization with each contribution received in this drive. Mr. Joslyn states. This, he said, ia because a major objective of the effort is to finance clinical testing of the already famous but still unavailable remedies in Illinois hospitals. "Discovering miracle drugs is one thing, and learning how to use them properly is another,'; Mr. Joslyn said. Pharmaceutical houses are hard at work to achieve quantity production, but until studies on proper administration of the drugs for best results and safest use are completed, they could not be made generally available, he explained. Since for thousands of our immediate neighbors, a rteurh -to n6rinal activity, free of pain, depends on early completion of this program, the drive committee feels that McHenry county will not fail to support this effort generously. Mr. Joslyn hopes that the •county quota of $2,250 will be . realized within one week. While this is. relatively a small sum for a major health cause hi this area, success, he said, depends on voluntary response froni> business firms, pro fessional men, and organisations of every kind, as well as from Individuals. Neither funds nor manpower are available to do an intensive canvassing job; "thus", he said, "we can only urge that everyone who has not received a personal solicitation by this weekend will send in a contribution." Checks may be made out simply to "Arthritis" and may be mailed directly to the drive treasurer, Warner H. Miller, First National Hank. Woodstock, or they can be addressed just: "Arthritis, Wood-, stock. 111." The post office will handle proper delivery, and the contributor's name and addfess should be given so that tile can be acknowledged.

We are talking about distance--about the miles you can cover at the wheel of a 1950 Cadillac--within the sane and legal limits. First, let's consider an hour ... You settle yourself comfortably into the deep-cushioned seat, touch the soft-throated engine into action--and within a matter of minutes, you begin to see what we mean. . When the light turns green, your rightful ?Iace in the traffic line is definitely assured. ou take easy advantage of every opening that presents itself. On the hills and grades, you give the engine a little more throttle-- and float on up without the slightest loss of speed. Braking is so certain, power so abundant^- that you move instinctively ahead at every-- opportunity. And at the end of an hour, you can scarcely believe the odometer. Did we say an hour? It seems little more than half that time! You're so relaxed and at ease that the hours go by--and the hours 1 go by--and not until the sun shows red in the west do you realize that you've been sitting behind the wheel for a much longer time than you'd planned on driving today.
