Pain in the Right Side of the
Abdomen.
• Acute pain in the right sides of the
abdomen occurs fn so many serious
ailments that some of the causes of
such pain should„jae known by every
one.
In the apace that,istbounded above
by the right ribs, below by the -most
prominent point of the hip bone, and
on the left by the navel, many serious
conditions may exist.
For example, if a person is seized
with pain that starts at the pit of
the stomach, and radiates upward and ,
backward toward the right shoulder,
and if the pain is of a spasmodic
nature, often accompanied by vomit-
ing, some disturbance of the gall-
bladder or its contents may be sus-
, pected.
If the pain is of a spasmodic nature
but radiates into the .hack and down-
ward into the groin, or even into_the
bladder, with a constant desire ,to
urinate, a kidney stone or gravel may
be suspected.
Pain which gradually locates at a
point about midway between the ex-
treme upper point of the right hip-
bone and the navel, and is accom-
panie.d by a marked rigidity of the
muscles of the right side of the abdo-
Men, is usually caused by appendicitis.
Nausea and vomiting often accom-
pany all of the above conditions and
are not of themselves especially diag-
nostic.
In females, the right Fallopian tube
or ovary may be the seat of trouble.
The real disease present is often very
hard to diagnose, and if relief is not
promptly obtained a physician shoald
be called in.
Among the conditions referred to,
acute appendicitis develops most
rapidly, becoming serious in a very
short time.
Deaths occurring from right ab-
dominal diseases are mostly due to
the fact that an early diagnosis has
not been made and proper treatment
at once instituted. In the majority of
instances early medical treatment
will suffice, while in the smaller
number surgical interference is
necessary.
Our Friend—The Toad.
This squatty, warted amphibiau is
an asset to any flower or vegetable
garden wherever he is found. He is
an. iusect eater of the first magnitude
and has an insatiable appetite. In-
vestigations have proven the fact
that, in twenty-four hours, the Insects
consumed by the toad equals in quan-
tity four times the capacity et the
toad's stomach. In other word,, the
stomach is filled and emptied four
times every twenty-four hours.
One investigator, in order to fin;1
what the toads diet was composed of,
examined the stomachs of one hun-
dred and forty -nine -toads during the
months of April, May, June, July,
August and September. As a result of
this investigation he found that the
toad's diet was composed mostly of
insects, many of which were injurious.

A Legacy of Ignorance.
Clock rials usually represent the
hours by ue of Roman numerals, but
there ie one curious variation. The
number four in Raman numerals is
commonly represented by IV., brat on
most clock dials it is made of four I's
•-XII1. There is. it is said, a curious
reason for This. !t goes back to the
ignorance of a King of France bo
ruled six hundred years ago.
Tradltlou among watch and clock
makers has i that the clock dial was
first made by Henry Vfek he.the year
Lltn, and he made it for Charles V.,
or Charles the Wise. of France.
Charles was not so wise as he looked
or as his name would suggest. When
the dial of the clock was submitted
for his approval, he studied it. long
and carefully. Finally he remarked,
"The clock is all right with one ex-
ception. The figure for four o'clock
should be four I's instead of XV."
-Yoilt, Me.testy-1s wrong," answered
Vick. "IV. is the proper symbol for
four."
Charles bristled with offended dig-
• nity and thundered at the clock
maker. "I am never wrong! Take
this dial away eueI correct yournlis-
take!'
There was nothing else to do. In
all his subsequent clock dials Vick
was compelled to use the symbol or-
dered by his sovereign. Other dial
makers followed his example, and
the authority of stupid Charles V.,
whose bones have been dust for con-
turies. still rules the makers of most
of our watch and 'clock dittlt.
