HEART FAIIMRI A middle-aged man, working hard mentally and physically, had I "heart attack" and was ordered to bed for several weeks. He was greatly surprised and asked his physician if he had had a coron- ary thrombosis. The physician said not. "Then why am I ordered to bed for-several weeks?" The phy- sician told him that he had been working so hard that his heart was tired and needed a rest and that the ideal way of resting the heart was to lessen or lighten the amount of work the heart had to do. The heart has to dopsome work because the blood must carry oxy- gen and food to all the cells of the body and remove wastes from these cells. Being up on the feet and walking around requires five times-as much work out of the heart as when lying down resting. and standing and sitting two to three times as much work.

If there is but one turkey and everyone would re- quest a leg, there would be quite a'problem.

And. of course. the guest should have gifts for the used to being up and around on his feet can certainly rest his tired heart by putting the least possib amount of effort on it. - what causes heart failure or tiredness of the heart? Heart failure occurs when too much load is put on it or when the reserve strength of the mus- cles of the heart wall begin to weaken. This loss or lowering of reserve strength of the heart mus- cle can be brought about by var- ious drugs and certain diseases of mankind. In Clinical Problems of Advanc- ing Years, Dr. Tlnsley R. Harrison, Professor of Medicine. Medical Col- lege of Alabama. states that "our effective measures of treating heart failure not either by in- creasing the muscular strength of the heart or decreasing its load. Digitalis and digitalis preparations represent our own means of strengthening the muscular power of the heart." The old illustration of the strength of a bridge is applicable to heart failure. A bridge built to carry ten tons can, though weak- ened by age and erosion, safely carry five tons for a nlunber of years. In summarizing. Dr. Harrison states that "we know little about the aging process in the heart muscle. The mechanical alterations occurring within a few hours in the heart beating in the body." We can all see. then. the logic of the physician's treatment of heart failure; he decreases the load or work of the heart by complete bed rest. which lessens the load both in arteries and veins, and he strengthens the muscle fibers of the heart by digitalis and its var- ious preparations. ren. or one gift that they all can host and hostess and their child- enjoy. p, ' a o . and there's Christmas Morning Magic in gifts that compliment i1 e r charm, her fashion sense, her exquisite tdstei Here are the things she treasures . . . dainty lingerie filmy hosiery. a stunning blouse, beautiful gloves and other smart accessories . . . select- ed for the loveliest of ladies on your iisti SIINTEWS LAllIES',WEAR 182 Inst loom st. feminine Plus 2748 the heart removed from the body ' are similar to those which occur I over-a period of many decades in - fnononlv DIX 'K DEAR MISS DIX: our house once, 11:30 at night. gether.
