Two Types of Heart Trouble

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. BECAUSE of the greater attention being given by medicine to coronary thromhfcsis and angina pectoris, the average man is hearing a great many references to them. And yet, beyond realizing that both have to do with the heart, he really knows very little of either. In both disorders, the heart is deprived to a greater or lesser extent of its blood supply by something that happens in the coronary arteries, which are thn arteries that carry blood to the heart. That something is very different, however, in the two ailments. In angina pectaris we suppose that the arteries which supply the heart with blood suddenly constrict and go into spasm. Naturally the blood flow to the tieart is reduced and at the same tl me there is an 'agonizing attack oi pain, starting beneath the breast bone and radiating out over the left, shoulder and down the arm. Usually, the spasm in the arteries lasts Jor no more than a few moments and the pain is just as fleeting. Because the blood supply to the heart is renewed so quickly, its cells rarely suffer much damage in such attacks. When it comes to coronary thronhbosis. however, the picture is different. Here a clot form s in one of the coronary arteries and acts as a plug to shut off the [flow of blood to this, or that part of the heart. In these cases there is likely to be actual damage or even death of some of the heart tissue. Thus pain, just as severe as that in angina, also persists for (hours or even days. In considering the treatment of coronary thrombosis, the tr eatment of pectoris must also be

public health in Ethiopia, as'Well as edilcation, transportation and development of resources and industry. _ The Marshall plan, the United States formula for European recovery, is showing signs of modification. Tendencies seem to be for wiser spending of American dollars rather than for increased allocations of them to Europe. There are several reasons for this changing attitude. It is gradually dawning on this country that the needs of Europe are so tremendous that they will require more dollars than had been anticipated. Also there' is a growing desire to put Europe back on its own feet, to restore its self-help urge, rather than to risk by over generosity a dependency on America as a country of inexhaustible wealth. The municipal electric and water plants, besides performing a public service in supplying the town with electricity and water, make it possible for Decatur to have a low tax rate. The plants waive the customary charges for fire hydrant rental and ornamental street lighting, which based on fees charged by private utilities and approved by state public service commissions, would total nearly $'40,000 annually. In addition the local utilities donate cash to the city's general fund, which reduces the amount to be raised by taxes. Out of the present $3.14 rate the civil city re-i ceives 78 cents. If the municipal charges were added to the budget and the donations removed, the city’s levy would easily total double the amount now collected. o __o City officials acted in the interest of citizens and for the protection of public rights in demanding that a bus line which proposed to operate here, file a map showing the routes over which it would operate. We are not questioning the integrity or good intentions of the bus owners. Our streets belong to the people and if anyone wants to use them, the law specifies that the municipality has the authority to name the conditions under which free or leased rights are given. The city holds that a bus line falls under the public utility law, which it does. Before the line can operate it should meet the city’s requirements as to bond, rates and the routes to be serviced by the buses. Like street or motor bus lines in cities, a franchise is required and established routes I must be maintained by the operatI ing company.

borne in mind since the two disorders are so closely related and. in some cases, angina may be the, forerunner of conorary thrombosis. In the treatment of angina, the aim is to hold spasm of the arteries to a minimum and tokeep circulation to the heart at a maximum. In this, three things are importantwork worry and the weather. Work or physical effort, worry and nervous tension, and cold weather with strong winds are all to be avoided because all may be factors in bringing on attacks. The treatment of cononary thrombosis must be directed toward relieving the agonizing pain in the chest and relaxing blood-ves-sel spasm. Morphine apparently is the best drug for the pain, and of course it must be prescribed by a physician. Another drug known as aminophyllin may be given by injection into a vein, and repeated the following day. This drug relieves blood-vessel spasgi. Still a third drug, atropine, may be given with the morphine to relieve the irritability of the heart. Since an attack of coronary thrombosis damages the heart, rest in bed for at least three weeks is necessary so that healing may take place. At the end of the fourth week, the patient may be allowed to be up in a chair for a short period of time each day. A diet supplying about 1200 calories a day is employed, and a preparation of mineral oil is used to insure soft bowel movements, which will avoid straining. Because these patients are worried about their condition, the less treatment in the form of injections, the better the patient progresses, and the less he frets about his disorder. t

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX IN THE study, Lady Angkatell flitted about, touching things here and there with a vague forefinger. Sir Henry sat back in his chair watching her. He said at last: “Why did you take the pistol, Lucy ?” Lady Angkatell came back and sank down gracefully into a chair. “I’m not really quite sure, Henry. I suppose I had some vague ideas of an accident.” “Accident?” “Yes. All those roots of trees, i you know,” said Lady Angkatell vaguely, "sticking out —so easy, just to trip over one. . . . One might have had a few shots at the target and left one shot in the magazine—careless, of course—but then people ARE careless. I’ve always thought, you know, that accident would be the simplest way to do a thing of that kind. One would be dreadfully sorry, of course, and blame oneself. . . .” Her voice died away. Her husband sat very still without taking his eyes off her face. He spoke again in the same quiet, careful voice: » "Who was to have had the accident?” Lucy turned her head a little, looking at him in surprise. “John Christow, of course.” “Good Lord, Lucy—” He broke off. She said earnestly: “Oh, Henry, I’ve been so dreadfully worried. About Ainswick.” "I see. It’s Ainswick. You’ve always cared too much about Ainswick, Lucy. Sometimes I think it’s the only thing you do care for.” “Edward and David are the last —the last of the Angkatclls. And David won’t do, Henry. He’ll never marry—because of his mother and all that. He’ll get the place when Edward dies, and he won’t marry, and you and I will be dead long before he’s even middle-aged. He’ll be the last of the Angkatells and the whole thing will die out.” “Does it matter so much, Lucy?” “Os course it matters! Ainswick!” “You should have been a boy, Lucy.” But he smiled a little—for he could not imagine Lucy being anything but feminine. “It all depends on Edward’s marrying—and Edward’s so obstinate—that long head of his, like my father’s. I hoped he’d get over Henrietta and marry some nice girl—but I see now that that’s hopeless. Then I thought that Hen•rietta’s affair with John would run the usual course. John’s affairs were never, I imagined, very permanent. But I saw him looking at her the other evening. He really cared about her. If only John were out of the way I felt that Henrietta would marry Edward. She’s not the kind of person to cherish a memory and live in the past So, you see, it all came to that—get rid of John Christow.” “Lucy. You didn’t— What did you do, Lucy?” Lady Angkatell got up again. She took two dead flowers out of a vase. ' “Darling,” she said, “you don’t imagine for a moment, do you, that I shot John Christow? I did have that silly idea about an accident. But then, you know, I remembered that we’d asked John Christow here—it’s not as though he proposed himself. One can’t ask someone to be a guest and then arrange accidents. Even Arabs are most particular about hospitality. So don’t worry, will you, Henry?” She stood looking at him with a brilliant, affectionate smile. He sail heavily;

‘T always worry about you, c Lucy.” 1 “There’s no need, darling. And f you see, everything has actually s turned out all right. John has been 5 got rid of without our doing any- s thing about it. It reminds me,” said Lady Angkatell reminiscent- s ly, “of that man in Bombay who s was so frightfully rude to me. He 5 was run over by a tram three days i later.” < She unbolted the French window i and went out into the garden. Sir Henry sat still, watching her 1 tall, slender figure wander down ; the path. He looked old and tired i and hi£ face was the face of a man i who lives at close quarters with fear. 1 In the kitchen a tearful Doris Emmott was wilting under the stem reproof of Mr. Gudgeon. Mrs. i Medway and Miss Simmons acted 1 as a kind of Greek chorus. “Putting yourself forward and ; jumping to conclusions in away 1 only an inexperienced girl would do.” I “That’s right,” said Mrs. Medway. “If you see me with a pistol in ' my hand, the proper thing to do is to come to me and say, 'Mr. Gudgeon, will you be so kind as to give me an explanation?’” “Or you could have come to me,” put in Mrs. Medway. “I’m always willing to tell a young girl what doesn’t know the world what she ought to think.” “What you should not have done,” said Gudgeon severely, “is : to go babbling off to a policeman —and only a sergeant at that! Never get mixed up with the po- : lice more than you can help. It’s painful enough having them in the house at all.” “Inexpressibly painful,” murmured Miss Simmons. “Such a thing never happened to me before.” “We all know,” went on Gudgeon, “what her ladyship is like. Nothing her* ladyship does would ever surprise me—but the police don’t know her ladyship the way we do, and it’s not to be thought of that her ladyship should be worried with silly questions and suspicions just because she wanders about with firearms. It’s the sort of thing she would do, but the police have the kind of minds that just see murder and nasty things like that Her ladyship is the kind of absent-minded lady who wouldn’t hurt a fly, but there’s no denying that she puts things in funny places. I shall never forget,” added Gudgeon with feeling, “when she brought back a live lobster and put it in the card tray in the hall. Thought I was seeing things!” “That must have been before my time,” said Simmons with curiosity. Mrs. Medway checked these revelations with a glance at the erring tioris. “Some other time,” she said. “Now then, Doris, we've only been speaking to you for your own good. It’s common to be mixed up with the police, and don’t you forget it. You can get on with the vegetables now and be more careful with the runner beans than . you were last night.” F Doris sniffed. “Yes, Mrs. Medway,” she said, and shuffled over to the sink. Mrs. Medway said forebodingly: “I don’t feel as ' I’m going to have a light hand with my pastry. That nasty inquest tomorrow. Gives me a turn every time I think of it. A thing like that—happening to us.” • • • The latch of the gate clicked and Poirot looked out of the win-
