DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUNC- TIONAL AND ORGANIC HEART DISEASE

K'R."vYiax""K

Patient and physician must keep in mind the I.11laen:uCB between a functional disease and an organic disease. In a functional disease there is no change in the structure of an organ, such as the stomach. or liver. but still the organ doesn't do its work in a normal manner - too fast, too slow, extra beats of the heart. too many movements to the minute in the stomach walls. in an organic disease. there is a change in the structure of the organ such as a leak in valve of heart; an ulcer or growth in the stomach.

A very rapid beating of the heart or weakness in the muscular walls of the heart could appar- ently be caused by either a func- tional of an organic disease. It is In these cases that the electrocar- diagram is considered valuable. es- pecially if there is also present a slight rise in temperature.

In the Journal of the Mount Sinai Hospital. New York. DTS. L. Pordy. H. S. Aral, and A. M. Mas- ter state that alterntions in the electrocardiogram caused by emo- tional disturbances nre often mis- takenly acceptcd as signs of heart disease. Also, patients with func- tional heart disturbancc or persons who are under unusual mental strain may have pain in the chest which feels like true angina pec- toris-the vise-like pain in chest in organic heart disease. And these functional cases can often get re- lief from this pain by use of nitro- glycerine as with true heart dis- case.

How can true or organic heart disease be distinguished from functional heart disease?

These phvsicians have already reported the effect of the drug "dil1ydrogocorninc" in 116 cases.

and now present 20 selected pat- ients with signs and symptoms of heart disturbances in whom the "two-step" exercise test was per- formed both before and after this dru wgr injected into a vein. In th two-step exercise. the patient takes two steps up and down a certain number of times within a certain time.

It was found that the two-stop exercise was "positive" (signs and symptoms) in the tort patients with functional heart disturbance be- fore injection of the drug but nee- ntive after the injection. In 10 patients with heart disease (coron- nry) the two-step exercise was positive hcfore and after the in- jection oi dlhydrogocornine. Fur- ther. the injection of the drug prevented changes in electrocardio- gram in the functional heart cases.

These research workers consider this drug a safe and promising agent to differentiate between functional and organic heart dis- ease.

Drying Woodenware

Never put woodenwars directly over the heat to dry. as this causes the wood to warp and perhaps crack. Thoroughly dry it. however. before putting it in a cupboard, as it may mildew if stored too soon. Allow to stand in a room of mod- erate temperature. or near the

stove. A Pie Hing

sometimes the pie crust will brown sufficiently before the fill- ing is quite done. In this case. merely cover the pie plate with a pan. or another inverted pie plate. and continue cooking. -

Wine stains can be removed from fabrics by covering the stains with salt and then pouring boiling water through it.

Morning Smile NK . Quiet Please!

It was a terrific boxing match. Fifty thousand spectators cheered themselves hoarse as the boxers stood toe to toe and slugged each other with dynamite rights and lefts.

Suddenly one of the men crum- pled to the canvas. The crowd went mud. The boxer took a count of three and then got up. In a few seconds he was floored again. The crowd went crazy. Fifty thou- sand voices rose in the great sus- lained roar.

The fighter on the canvas took a count of one-two-three-four. The roar of the crowd increased in vol- ume. Suddenly the fallen fighter leaped to his feet and faced the bellowing multitude.

"Stop that fool howling!" he relied. "How do you expect me to hear the count."

trange But True

By I-'. ll. Mlclutliur

Nobody knows for certain when April Fool's Day originated but

says the London Advertiser of March 13, 1769. "It may have arose

from the mistitke Noah made in sending the dove out of the ark before the water had abated." on

the first day of the month among the Hebrews which answers to our first of April. In Austria since the lath cen- tury every dead Hapsburg has had his or her heart removed and buried separate from the body. There is a vault beneath the ground near Vienna containing 152 vases of crystal mounted in gold, each containing the heart" of one of these rulers. The last ceremonial burial of a heart in England was that of Paul Whitehead who died in 1776. Indian summer is the beautiful period which occurs in late Aut- umn. The period may vary as much as a month and is marked by smoky-like air, or haze. The first snow fall has nothing to do with Indian summer. I

The cave man beat up his bride and bore her away i his wife. Nowadays at wedding celebrations we have the "best man" which is a relic of the pagan past. Mar- riage by purchase succeeded mar- rlage by capture. The bridegroom usually paying a pretty high price for his bride. This custom is still found among barbarous nations. . . Not until the 9th century did women obtain the privilege of choosing or refusing their hus- bands. Marriage vows and other ceremonies are but the outgrowth of pagan rites . . .Even with the coming of Christianity mar- riage for I. long time continued to be purely secular matter. Final- ly, however, the church encroach- ed upon theistate by taking to her- self control of marriages as a de- partment of life lying within the province of sacerdatal duty. I O 0

Keeping an all night watch over the dead before the funeral dates back to remote times. and nobody seems to know just when the cus- tom orlginated. The custom is still carried on in Ireland and is not entirely unknown in our own pro- vince and in remote districts of the New England states. It may have originated from a supersti- tion that the body would be de- faced by prowling cats. or evil spirits. Later liquor was introduc- ed at wakes to revive the flagging energies of mourners and watch- ers.

Economy

Thrift Means Wise Spending As Well As Regular Saving

DEAR MISS DIX: Is my husband right in his point of view, or am I right in mine? He believes that economy consists in entirely doing without things. Thus: If you save quite a sum by doing with- out a thing. you are not justified in spending any of this surplus, but must Put it all in the bank. I feel that if I have done without some- thing for a while to save money I am entitled to spend part of what I

” 'i ” have saved for something I need and want very much. and which I feel is a sensible buy. And. after having done so, I am glad to economize a little to make up for it. Surely one of us is right and the other wrong in our system of saving. What do you think?

WIFE

ANSWER: I think you are right. Economy does not mean mlserllness. It means the judicious - -:5 handling of money, and that involves wise spend- ing as much as lavlng. I am strong for thrlftlness. Everyone who earns money above their absolute daily needs should lay up something for that rainy day that is bound to come to us all

SAVE FOB OLD AGE

It is the duty of every one who can to save when they are making money so that when they are incapacitated for earning they will not be is burden on other people. It is s dishonest thing for men and wo- men to spend all their money as they go along and then expect oth- ers to support them when they are sick or old.

But, while thrift is a virtue. it is one that can easily be over- done and the saver frequently makes just as much of a mistake in hoarding his money as the spender does in throwing his to the winds. Just as everyone should put away something for the. rainy day. so everyone should use most of what he makes in enjoying the sunshine of today.

In the back of some ssvers' heads is the idea that some day they will indulge themselves in the pleasures that they crave but which they deny themselves. Some day they are going to have a pretty home and nice furniture. Some day they are going to have fine clothes and high-powered cars. Some day they are going to see the for places in the world of which they have dreamed.

But the time never comes. or. if at long last they do start out to spend some of the money they have boarded they find it is too late. They have atrophied the power of enjoyment. They ho ion r want anything and the grip of their hands has grown so tight every penny they cannot let it go.

DEAR MISS DIX: Will you please tell me how I can tactfully tell my mother that we would appreciate it very much if she would let us entertain our own company alone some time? Every time any- body comes she takes a seat in the living room and not only mon- Ohlizes the conversation but makes very personal remarks to our guests. We are glad to have mother with us and do everything in the world for her comfort and we don't want to hurt her. but it would prevent many uncomfortable hours if she would stay in her room, or go to the movie; when we have guests. What to do about it? My husband is getting nervous over the situation.
