OPEBATIONS - PAST AND PRESENT

When we reed that a patient drives to the hospital Monday afternoon, undergoes on operation Tuesday morning, is allowed to Bet up a short time Tuesday afternoon and drives his car home on Thursday afternoon, we wonder

' what has made the operation for

hernia so simple. Then when we learn that the operation for appendicitis and other operations mean! B ital’ in the hospital of only a week or 10 days. we wonder why l“ “m” “vs not less than

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-

Today. the patient is "built up"

foods rich in vitamins, minerals

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.

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-

forward to remarriage as to Paradise regained. So it is no wonder that the bereaved widower

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-

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

Our farmers spent a good day at the haying. combining the male ing of it and hauling, with a spell oi weeding and cultivating. Indeed now that the twilight is begin. aing to dim the hill, our youngcr farmer is continuing to cultivate in the turnip patch while James picked up his hoe after milking and as I have said made his way in the road to Rob's ‘to help at the last of the weeding there. Went smartly, as though it were only the beginning of his day. Our haying began in earnest after din- ner when Rob's family. and the black Mutt-dog arrived in the truck amid the usual iiedlam of barking. Karolyn too spend a bad] but pleasant afternoon with the small ones. Grand-daughter joined them after her nap and thc thxe played together. Not however with- out a few differences for Karolyn t: smooth away. I overheard them at play in the sand-pile. "My unilr —my own pails!" grand-daughter asserted stoutly, defending them a, gainst siege. though she is usuaLy very fair in sharing her playthingc. ‘Your pails!" Jamie repeated. wanting to gain one for the small.- fellow “and I suppose this sanu right here by my grand-mother’.- door belongs to you too?" And tlaer there were smiles, hers displaying a flash of white and Jamie's two missing teeth. and a compromise effected which set them to 131351.13 happily again.
