PENIOILLIN PREVENTS DENIES been doing pastel paintings for less

' mom nsaar DISEASE

A boyhood friend called me onei day to ask if any more could be; done for his 12-year-old boy suffer-t ing with acute heart disease, en-,

docarditis, inflammation of the lining of the heart. l-le admitted; that his family physician and a,

noted heart specialist had charge of the case. but for old friendships sake, could I suggest anything. I. in turn, had to admit that I knew‘ nothing that would destroy or ren-; der harmless the organisms causing the inflammation_ The boy died a. low days later.

Just as surgeons now can ope-rate, 0n defects in the construction ofl the heart, which defects have‘ caused deaths tin time) of prac- tically all cases, so today physic- ians are using the newly discovered, drug. Penicillin, and thereby are saving the lives of patients with, endocarditis. .

In the “British Lancet." Dr. C. Bramwell says that in 1944 the‘ Mvdlcal Research Council began an investigation of the treatment of, endocarditis with penicillin at l2} research centres in Britain. l-le found that in his center at Mah- chester a favorable response to penicillin may be expected in aboutl half of these cases; it should be‘ possible to get an even more fav-t Ormble response if the condition is recognized earlier.

Howﬂcam the physician recognize endocarditis earliEr, especially if a meart condition already is pres- ent?

It is suggested that in every pat- ient with an unexplained rise in.‘ temperature, a blood culture be_ taken without delay. The longer, ‘the infection is allowed to run on: the greater the damage to the heart and, consequently, the greater the‘ risk of heart failure. which is the» principal cause of death. As the, heart condition present before the: onset of the acute inflammation‘, may not be serious, the suggestion‘ is that where the organisms are found in the blood. immediate treatment with penicillin will pre- vent damage to the heart and so the patient can resume his former occupation. Thus, what. was a mild heart condition becomes a danger- ous condition, unless penicillin is given early_

DEAR MISS DIX: I have read your column for years and have en- joyed it, but there is one trend of thought with which I cannot agree. That is, every time a fellow asks if he should marry a girl older than himself you say no. Yet some of our leading psychologists and doctors recommend that men pick out older women for wives. By the time a girl becomes educated. gets her hearings in the. outer world and has
