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.

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_ WHY WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEART? Do you get out of breath on‘ slight exertion.

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.
