I Pain Dr. Hastings, M.O.11., Toronto Pain is one of our most valuable friends, yet few of us have ever con- sidered it as such, but rather the con- trary. Fifty years ago we never heard of such a disease as appendicitis, but then we frequently heard of cases of so-called "colic" which were ofttimes followed by what was then called "in- flammation of the bowels", which al- most invariably' proved fatal The treatment given forcolib in those times -was almost invariably .a sedative of some kind, usually opium or some of the alkaloids of opium, such as morphine, heroin or codeine. This only served to mask the real con- dition that existed. The so-called colic was only a symptom of what observations in connection with post- mortem examinations revealed subse- quently. to be what has since been known as "general peritonitis." This general peritonitis was almost invari- ably the result of a perforated appen- dix, or of a neglected case of appen- dicitis. "This car has aluminum pistons," says the salesman. "Just what do they have to do with making the car run better?" frankly questions the prospective purchaser. That his question is not merely rhet- orical is patent in the interest he dis- plays while the salesman explains that the lighter weight of reciprocat- ing parts permits speeding up the power plant while the better heat con- ductivity of the aluminum alloy con- tributes to superior cooling., Interestingly enough, a number of salesmen have been quick to point out that women, too, are joining the group that wants to be set straight on the "why" of fine motor ear per- formance.

One rarely hears of cases of cobs now, or of cases of inflammation of the bowels, nor have we heard of them for many years. We emphasize this. example, as it is one of the most outstanding, as regards the dangers of endeavoring to control a pain of any kind by drugs instead of accepting it as a most valuable clanger signal, the non- observance of which is very likely to be followed by disastrous results. dirt Datil-1'e-ev hark4rk teh"L� safe', money there, he'll think he dreamed it �, tea,.

Its margin is not even threatened. "Eye appeal," says one veteran salesman of popular priced cars, "merely has ceasedto beeverything. Performance simply has become so definitely good that the ear buyer wants to know how it is obtained." Prompt response to the first twinge of toothache by consulting your den- tist, entist, may be the means of saving a valuable tooth. It is true that pain may simply mean a local irritation, but it so fre- quently indicates serious trouble that we should always endeavor to ascer- tain the cause of the pain. 'Once the cause has been discovered, which can only be intelligently discovered by your medical adviser, it is quite safe then to administer something to re- lieve the pain while steps ere being taken at the same time to remove the cause: Probably 90 per cent. of the ills that flesh is heir to are tslireded in, or ac- companied at some time by more or less pain.

Many Cars Similar An elaboration of this point le of- fered by the sales manager of a com- pany distributing a popular priced car in •a very attractive territory. Ap- pearance, he says, has become stand- ardized to the extent that all cars are low, that a inajority have gone to the double -drop frame, nearly all are vividly colored and finished in lacquer, that lines of many cars in different price classes are somewhat similar, that exterior parts subject to corros- ion are finished in chromium or nickel or other non-ferrous metal, and that sport models in a majority of in- stances are set off by wire wheels. This visual picture has been pre- sented to the prospective car buyer countless times until he is very famil- iar with it. The performance picture, in its details has not been seen so many times and he is more curious about it as a result. With more than 2,000,000 car units sold yearly as replacements, others point out, it is obvious that a major- ity of new car buyers are experieneed automobile operators. When they go to purchase a new machine, they drive it themselves on demonstration. All companies are nova inviting this -form of test for their products. A Comparison Naturally,' the moment he himself in the demonstration machine, the prospective buyer begins a pro- cess of comparison. When he drives the car, he finds it starts more smoothly than his other car.
