Some inhabit cities, others farms; some are in jail, others in hospitals ... just like any similar group representing all income and social levels. This group of Americans contains 800.000 men, women and children, all with one thing in common that separates them from others they have epilepsy. Mislabeled as insanity in early civilization, the affliction today continues to be misunderstood ... even by those who have it. Pathetic questions "Can I marry?" "Can I have children?" "Can I get a job?" beset family doctors. To combat fear ana ignorance surrounding epDcpsy, the Ameri can Epilepsy league has been or ganized as a non-profit organiza tion. It seeks to make living easier for epileptics. - About SO per cent of all epi leptics can control their seiz ures completely, and another 25 per cent can exercise almost complete control over these electrical storms in the brain cells. Control of seizures does away with physical signs of the illness and eliminates prob lems of personal relationship. Eut many epileptics avoid treat ment because fear and public mis understanding won't let them ad mit they have the disease. And good treatment is hard to find, be cause methods have come only re cently out of the research labora tories. All types of epilepsy are caused by mild brain injury or severe nervous shock. The kind of seizure depends upon the part of the brain injured. The three main types are not just degrees of one main ill ness. Epilepsy's cause can be com her sister, Mrs. Gertrude Ellis. Mr. Homer Fleeman had his father. Mr. G. R. Fleeman from Fairpiay, Missouri, as a guest last week.

In the event that she is released from the hospital. Mrs. Murtey will, in all probability, go to Shelby where she will be in Mrs. Stoker's care.

The readings are means of determining a pa tient's epilepsy. . comes when the board is jammed without being able to sort the calls, or when it places more than one call on the same line at the same time. Epilepsy has been likened to overflow of a dam that curbs the river of nervous energy. Treatment is building the dam higher. Different drugs are used to strengthen the different dams or parts of the nervous system that overflow to cause 'I 3?' ! V!?.-X .- THETTT COMPETITOR . . .

As a number of returned soldiers, sailors, and airmen have such men tal and emotional disturbances that epileptic attacks have resulted, everything must now be done to re store them insofar as possible to their best physical and mental con dition. This is called rehabilitation. Death of John Bauer at Omaha Tuesday Night (Continued from Page One) lines of business activities.
