In 1816. the northern statu and a large part of Canada had snow and frost every month of the year. Scientists explains the cold year by attributing it to the erup- tion of Tombaro on Sunbows. an island near Java. The volcano blew its top late in 1815 and spew- ed forth the largest flow of lava ever seen. Powdered dust from the crater filled the upper air over a large part of the earth for more than a year. This dust in the air is believed to have lowered the temperature by partly effacing Old Sol . . .

A NEW DRUG FOB CORONARY TKBOMBOSIS

Now that heart disease stands nrst as a cause of death. and cor- onary thrombosis (heart stroke) has become In everyday topic, anything and everything to do with this disease is of interest to every family.

One of the distressing symptoms of heart disease is what is called angina pectorls, pain in the chest, which extends from under the breasbbone to the left shoulder and sometimes down the left arm. If the patient ro:naln.s quiet. the pain. which is like I vise, passes away in .a. short time. but it may occur even when the patient is lying at complete rest.

The cause of angina peclorls is believed to be a tightening or par- tlal closure of the blood vessels which prevents the necessary oxy- gen (carried in the blood) from reaching the muscular tissues of the heart: wall. Various drugs to open up or dilate the bloodvcsseis are in use and new ones are up- pearing frequently.

In The American Heart Journal. Drs. G. V. Anrep. M. R. Kenawy, and G. S. Barsoum (Found I Um- verslty Hospital. Cairo) report their investigation of a plant. Amml vlsnaga, which grows in Eastern Mediterranean countries. Dccoctions of its seeds have been used by the local population to re- lieve spasm since ancient times. .

The active principle of this drug. now" calledeekhellin. was given to 250 patients with coronary throm- bosis with or without angina. pain when at rest. It was either in con- tinuous treatment to prevent or lessen number of attacks or oc- casionally for relief from actual attacks. The effect of, or response to. khellln was considered good when attacks ceased or became in- frequent and mild, moderate when they occurred less often. and neg- atlve when no favorable change occurred.

Among so patients with recent coronary thrombosis treated with khellln. the drug relieved and con- trolled snglnal attacks during the weeks of rest following the Ittsck as well as after recovery in 21 pIt- lents. The deIth rate in group treated with khellin was similar to thrt in s control group. No drug habit occurred. Even after it was used for two years. it was still ef- fectlve.

These physicians conclude that khellln can be used successfully to dilute the coronary vessels in txtatment of coronary Juombogls,

We have I fancy that even in the abundance of present storing or that of recent years. which gave an abundance of potatoes, heaps of mangels and turnips un- til the amount fairly tested the old masoned walls at the scams, this old cellar must often have I sight for those days that were. Those more straitened times per- haps - in the light of today. but still ample and affording more leisure for living.
