and nlara in the minds of many. Pain in the right side of the abdomen suggests appendicitis, for instance, and pain over the heart fa popularly supposed to be due to perlour heart trouble,
Pains in the chest are pretty commön, and it is safe to say It is true that the majority of them are of little significance. tha: some may be due to serious mischief, but you must remember that serious disease is seldom present without other signs.
One of the commonest chest pains in that caused by a type of neuralgin which affects the nerves between the ribs or the Üttle muscles which help to raise and lower these bones,
This pain may be very acute, and is often made worse by taking a deep breath, much in the same way as the pain which accompanies pleurisy; but patients with pleurisy are usually ill, whereas the sufferer from neuralglà is not.
Neuralgia or Pleurisy?
P
LEURIGY 1, or may be, quite a serious condition.
There
may be fover, cough, and general mainise, and there is little doubt in the patient's mind that he fa really unwell.
On
the other hand, the victim of neuralgia feels all right, and the pain is not qul's so definite or so constant. The application of a plaster or lodine ointment often clears it up completely in quite a short time.
Pains round to heart when due to heart trouble are most unusual in young people. There are certain types of heart disordera which do caliso pain, but before this can happen the disease must have existed True, heart pains generally come on for some considerable time, after exertion, and aro certainly uncommon when the patient is resting. Undoubtedly the commonest cause of pain in this region, is indigestion. It is closely related to meals and comes on a certain intervala aflor food, occurring even at night when the patient is in bed. Platulent dyspepala is common in many women, and reat is often dis- turbed by pairs round the heart due to pressure of the wind in the stomach. Heartburn is often experienced as ati additional symptom.
tile condition may be caused by a variety of errors. Irregular and hurried meals in otio of the commonest, Extreme fatigue, particularly in those who suffer from neurasthenia, may cause pains in any part of the body, and these may occur in the chest. But pains of this sort are of a vague nature and are not constant or amei)- able to loent treatment.
It is a very unwise proceeding to dingnose your own complaint, and it will save you time and anxiety if when you get pains of the sort mentioned you will consult your doctor.

FOR YOUR GRAMOPHONE
Tis becoming increasingly dimcult to write about gramophone records at
least to write about them for the "average" listener.
In the world of so-called "light" recordings nothing ever happens. The same artists go on making their records year in and year out. The only difference bo- tween December and May in the light records business is that the songs are different,
Otherwise, the monthly lista look painfully alike.
There are many possible reasons. First, the Brits public is blindly faithful to its favourites. That is why the same names keep cropping up: Gracie Fields, Peter Dawsan, Jack Hyl- ton. Richard Tauber, "Hutch," Am- Bruse, the Two Léslies and so on.
Second, even if there were a public demand for a little variety, the gramo ptione business is as stuck for new talent us the radio is

is not keen on getting, anything new?
Well, some years ago Jack Hylton deliberately left the beaten track of his recording style. He mada a "hot" recording of "Tiger Rag" and "Line- house Blues," That record is the warst seller he ever made; it didn't come within a couple of thousand copies of his previous "low."
That was the last time Jack ever mude a record for his own delight, The public would have none of it; only the familiar Hylton records would do.
And I am willing to bet that the same thing would happen if any of the other artists I named were to depart for a single moment from what the public expects them to do,
It is and state of affairs, but not confined to the gramophone business. The same thing has happened in variety. When a musto hall favourite disuppears to make films, there is no- body to take his place.
❖
So it happens that in the gramophone lists there
is only one department in which anything ever happens; among the "standard" recordings.

I mention this hire-purchasing of records because many people are. put off by the subscription prices asked for albums of some of the best recordings ever made.
I refer to the "Bociety" recorda (which per record are no more expen- sive than those in the general catn. logue) issued as such because they are not considered "commerclat" enough for the ordinary lists.
