WOMEN'S FEATURES. Pain Attack Is Nature’s Ow_n Signal Created as Protest When Something Has Gone Wrong. BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. PHYSICIANS these days must be astonished at the increase in the| number of new drugs for relieving | pain. Pain is not only hard to bear | but it is very wearing on mind and | body. That there are drugs that can allay pain in emergencies without creating a drug “habit” or causing a great depression o° spirits is a great boon to mankind. However, pain is a protest of a nerve or nerves in various parts of the body against something that has gone | I wrong. Pain is Nature's warning that trouble is present and that this trouble ehould be looked for at once. Some one has aptly said that pain | 15 a “signal” to the sufferer and that | instead of trying to destroy the signal | he should try to find out just what | the signal (pain) is trying to point | out to him. | Now there are some pains that are | readily recognized, such as the pain| in the right lower part of the abdomen which remains there for some time and which is usually due to appendi- citis. Then there is the pain of pleur- isy which is made worse by breathing; the pain in the stomach due to un- Tipe or overripe fruit ‘When the cause of the pain is known there is no reason with severe pain why a pain-relieving drug should not | be used. | However, as the great majority of eilgents begin with or have pain present at some time, the kind of pain and its exact location is usually studied by the physician before any- thing is done to relieve the pain. You can readily see that if some | drug is given to relieve pain in the head, chest, over the heart, in the stomach or abdomen. in upper or Jower back. or elsewhere in the body before the cause of the pain is learned, then the real cayse is not likely to be found. This may allow the ail- ment to progress when it is most im- portant that its progress be stopped. Now a severe pain may mean & simple ailment, and a slight pain a severe ailment, but the physician must be allowed sufficient time to study the pain before the patient’s request for something to relieve the pain may be granted. The thought then is thut the pa- tient should do his best to withstand the pain until the cause of the ail- ment is found. Hiding or masking the pain by a drug before the cause 1s Jocated is not good sense. | (Copsright, 1035.) Point of View BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

They should be planted as soon as they can be obtained, in a well drained and somewhat protected situation. Their hardiness is a little in ques- tion, for which reason the ground over them should be covered with straw, peat moss or some other litter. The Dutch irises and the Spanish irises are the kinds most commonly used. They are very lovely, and may be used to sup- plement the better known irises. They should be planted about four inches deep, and it is al- ways wise to run a little sand into the holes under them, with a little more on top. (Copyright. 1035.) Big Parade BY JOHN BLAKE.
