That Body Of Yours

I

PNI:Il'MONlA IS NOT DISAPPEARING

5 One of the standard jokes of former ,vc-ars was that Dr. Blank called all his cases of the common cold pneumonia and by constant supervision and proper medication. he seldom lost a case of pneumonia.

Although this was considered a good joke to pass around. Never- -theless, when I remembered how so many treat the common cold as unworthy of attention so that it hangs on for weeks, often develop- ing into pneumonia or bronchu- pneumonia, Dr. Blank was really much wiser than his critics.

He knew that he would have difficulty keeping a "common cold" patient in bed: the patient would want to be up and around his bed- room or the whole house. might even slip down to his office or shop. As it is this keeping on the feet. doing even light work when fighting a cold, that puts strain on the heart. so that as the pneu- monia germs or organisms are often present even in the health- iest of us, they are able to over- come our natural resistance and a real case of pneumonia folows our common cold.

During the flu epidemic of 1018-19. many of the cases we lost. had remained on their feet on duty for several days and arrived at our hospital in such poor condition that despite utmost care and use of strongest heart stimulants. they passed away.

Patients weak and strong. who had gone to bed immediately when attacked by the flu, had enough strength of heart to overcome the flu and prevent an attack of pneu- monia.

Now that we have the sulfa drugs and penicillin. the death rate in pneumonia has been cut down to about one-third that of before the discovery of these miracle drugs.- about ll per cent as com- pared with i'l per cent.

. However, lest we put too much trust in the miracle drugs. a dis- cu.-slon reported in the New Eng- land Medical Journal reveals the fact. that while the death rates of infectious diseases, including pneu- monla. show a downward trend during the first forty years of the century, there appears to be occur- ring as many cases as ever of pneu-

Do you think it proper for one to sit with one's feet twisted around the rungs of the chair?

A. This might be all right if one found oneself seated in a chair outside during a sudden windstorm to anchor himself. otherwise. the only proper position for the feet when one is seated is in front of one. -

Q. When do the host and host- ess seat themselves at the dinner table?

A. The hostess always seats her- self first. this being the signal for the guests to seat themselves. The host is always last to seat himself.
