By Ionics W. sometimes you discover that your heart is beating very rapidly and about it, the rateof beating grad- ually decreases, and becomes normal again. It may be that you can account for the rapid rate as you have been excited or anxious about something, you may have received news that excited or upset you, either by let- ter or telephone; perhaps you have eaten considerable food and gas pressure from the stomach is inter! iering with the regular rate oi the heart action. On the other hand it may be that these attacks of rapid heart beating come on at any time, when you are sitting or lying down and are free from any oi above conditions. When the heart begins beating rapidly, not due to exercise, it is spoken of as paroxysmal tachycar- dia which simply means a rapidly increasing heart rate which reaches a veijy high rate and then comes back to normal again, just as in an attack of asthma the patient breathes rapidly and seems scarcely able to get his breath, and then is back to normal again. Between the attacks oi these rapid beating spells, the patient is usually quite free from any disturb- ance in the heart rate. While it is true that these attacks may be due to actual organic ail- ments, in a large percentage oi cases it is due to what is called a functional or nervous disturbance. However the patient when the at- tack comes on is only interested in getting the heart back to its normal rate, because it is uncomfortable to have the heart beating 160 times or more to the minute. How can this be stopped? I've seen one case where simply pressing on the eyeballs has stopped the rapid beating, and another case where pressure over the stomach was successful. " ' Dr. J. C. Healy, Boston, says that while there are a number of mech- anical means that have been used successfully, _the same one does not ‘always succeedihe second time even on the same _ Other methods‘ suggestedfare (a) havingqpatierlt sip oold water the try b0 breathe out air from ‘the lungs at the same time- (b) pressure‘ above the eyeballs (c) massaging the skin along the inner side of the large muscle that stands lout in the neck when the head is ‘l turned sideways (d) pressure on the notch in the front part of the neck y‘ where the two collar bones meet. l Although digitalis is used in heart 4 ailments more than any other drug, J and is also used in this condition, ft l would seem that quinidine sulphate (not quinine sulphate) is even more '3 used under the direction oi a phy- siclan.

As I read it I wondered if our friend had an idea that he was confronting the ministry of the church with an idea that had not occurred to them that there might be considered a ques“ of the reduction oi the salary of ministers. m. "Farmer" is much too late with his complaint for that. And in a great measure he is hopelessly out of date with it since a very great number of min- isters have had to accept "cuts" in their salary for the last year, ow- lng to deficits in this account in their churches.‘ And I dare to say that not one oi them but accepted it willingly.
