"Nor is action from this Government to he expected now. (iovernments act only in thezr youth. If they fail in their first years of office, hardly one chalice in a hundred exists that they will act vigorously or successfully in their de cline. What the record tells, indeed. is that gov- ernnients, left in office too long, become re- mote from national needs and national thought, lose their eritltusiasm, often lose their capacity to act. They become tired, indiffent, stale."

The Critical Period

Reports of heightened tension on the Polish border SC(‘lll to substantiate the belief, general- ly held a month or two ago, in favor of late Attgttst or Scpternber as the critical period for peace in littrope. There is, however, says The S/>cr!aIor, no reason for accepting with passive fatalism the theory that September or August must inevitably bring crisis, and prob- ably war. That is :i disastrous frame of mind, The fact to entpliasise untiringly is that the postpotictiicnt of crisis, if postporietirent there be, is of value supremely as an opportunity for

After the first week in Sed, the physician explained what had happened and that Ellie!‘ the part; had healed and the clot had been absorbed. he would be well enough to get. up and abs / and might live as long as if his heart had not been at- tacked. His heart would not. be as strong but it would be strong enough to carry him 9. number of years if he followed directions e.irefu'ly. This attack was a bles- sing in disguise as it was a tram- ing to cut down on his own work and to rut. out all other activities. The rtserve strength or power of his heart, which for so many years had enabled him to do so much menttil and physical work, was now considerably less than before and he could not draw on this power to the same extent 435 before. How- ever there was still power to do the ordinary or necessary things in life.

This, then, is the common sense yet scientific method of treating the various types of heart; disease which cause the heart. to “fail" — the "compete" rest at. the time the attack of heart; failure occurs and the “partial ’ rest for the balance of the patients life. Partial rest. does not require bed rest most of the 24 hours but does require 8 or 9 hours at. night, with oerhaps a rialf hour or hour lying dorm once or tiwire a day.

Light exercise in the form of walking and even swimming (‘if patient Tikes swimming) and a few holes of non-competitive golf on I level course, not. only help the circ- ulation of the blcod. n‘d digestion, and removal of wastes from the body, but helps to its p the spirits bright. and free from dread.

It is not suggested that patients with heart disease should follow the above suggestions because each case is a law unto itself and must fc-l‘ow the regulations necessary to preserve the htart reserve The thought is that complete rest, then part‘-11 rest, with exercise, now pre- serves life for many years in those with a failing heart.
