Keeping Blood From Clotting

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. NO man who has ever studied the human body can fail to be impressed by Nature’s foresight. Take the clotting power of the blood, for instance. It seems to have been provided especially to protect us against the chances of bleeding to death, for if the blood did not clot, bleeding from even slight injuries could not be stopped- Blood would leak from the body as water does through a sieve. However, there are times when greaf benefits would result if the blood could be kept from clotting. Recently two substances which will do this have become available. Known generally as anticoagulants, their specific names are heparin and dicumarol. Heparin acts quickly on the blood. But the effect does not last long, it is expensive, and must be given by injection into a vein. Dicumarol, on the other hand, is inexpensive and can be given by mouth, but unfortunately it acts more slowly on the blood. The effect persists for days after the treatment is stopped. Both of the substances may be used at the same time. The following are the conditions in which these substances may be utilized. Occasionally, an embolus forms in the lungs. An embolus is some bit of material, such as clotted blood, which becomes lodged in a blood vessel most anywhere in the body. In these cases, an anticoagulant is employed to prevent further embolism. They may be also used in throm-

i that the country for the most part pure and free of temptation. o o State Board of Health officials reveal that 89 out of every 100 babies are now delivered in hospitals, which they say accounts for the tremendous rush at these institutions. The need for nurses is likewise increased as new life comes to each community. Hospitals will have to expand to keep up with the country's growth. A new style of campaign oratory seems to have become the vogue on the American political scene. Time was when candidates could get away with florid “Fourth of July” oratory on flag-draped bandstands, doing little more than hurling a few brickbats at their opponents and tossing in some patriotic flourishes. The crowds listened and were content to ballot accordingly. For some time a gradual shift from this sort of thing to solemn economic discourses has been apparent with the candidates. Now those seeking offices are | launching themselves on essentially bread-and-butter platforms. o o , Easily Figured: Periodicaly people come into this 1 1 newspaper and start a discussion ( about the COST of advertising . . . 1 but, really in our humble opinion, advertising, particularly newspaper advertising, used intelligently and ( frequently, doesn’t cost money at I all. Rather it helps move merchan- 1 dise faster, permits distribution economies, provides for mass production, and mass sales, and ultimately lower prices, with savings both for the consumers, sellers, distributors. wholesalers and manufacturers. Innumerable articles which appear to carry a large sales and advertising expense really show a reduction in cost, over the years. Take for example the nationallyadvertised light bulb. It costs only one-fourth as much now as it did for an inferior one in 1923. Na-tionally-advertised gasoline, without tax, costs 40% less than in 1925. Electricj clocks are 50% cheaper in price than they were in 1930. Electric refrigerators are much less costly. In 1929, the average radio sets cost $135, and only a few thousands were proud owners. Now an average set sells for $34, with ownership in the millions. So on. with immumerable examples. Advertising helps the consumer get better merchandise at lower costs. Advertising pays . . . pays large ' dividends in your local newspaper.

bophlebitis. a condition in which there is a blood clot in the vein, together with some inflammation. In these cases, an anticoagulant may help to prevent embolism and long-continued trouble with the veins. Anticoagulants may also be employed when an area is suddenly blocked off by a blood clot or embolus. They may be given to prevent blood clots in cases of injury to blood vessels. They are sometimes used after operation, particularly in patients who have previously had a blood clot or embolus following operation of one sort or another. During one operation, especially, these anticoagulants are used. That operation is one done to remove the womb or uterus, because it has been shown that in one out of every twenty-five patients who have this operation, a Mood clot or embolus results. They may also be used following other operations as a preventive measure. Doctors know that these anticoagulants should not be used in patients who have a deficiency of vitamin C or vitamin K, or who have liver disease: nor should they be employed in some disturbances of the blood, or following operation on the brain or spinal cord, or when the kidney is acting adnormally. Neither heparin nor dicumarol is considered today as the ideal substance for slowing down’ blood coagulation, but these anticoagulants are the best available. Nonethe less they have proved satisfactory and even Hfe-eanug in the type at case described.

SYNOPSIS

Gail Prentice, whose parents had divorced when she was a child, knew nothing of her father, Charles, except what her gay, extravagant mother, Lissa, had told her—that he was the wealthy owner of Twin Oaks, a fine old southern estate . . . and that the inadequate income he had settled on them forced them to become what Lissa termed “professional house guests” among her many wealthy friends. Gail is surprised when, one day, Lissa asks if she would like to spend the coming summer with her father. Charles had remarried years before, and heretofore Lissa had steadfastly refused to permit Gail to visit Twin Oaks, though he and his wife had often invited her. But now, having recently met wealthy Martin Kincaid, and certain he would propose if given the right opportunity —in this instance a house party in Bermuda —Lissa convinces Gail she should accept. She hoped, too, the visit might be instrumental in obtaining an increased allowance for them. Gail is somewhat mystified whe , upon alighting from the train at the small station, she is escorted to a dilapidated station wagon by attractive Greg Thompson, who introduces himself as an employe of her father —and who makes no attempt to conceal his dislike of her. She is utterly dumbfounded, however, when they puil up to a small, unpainted tenant house on the estate and Greg discloses that this is where her father lives, explaining that several years before the big house had been destroyed by fire, and continued reverses had wiped out the Prentice fortune, with the exception of the fund set aside for her mother and herself. Gail manages to hide her shock when Charles emerges to greet her.

CHAPTER FIVE THE SCREEN door of the house behind them banged and a woman came hurrying down the steps toward them. A woman tall and generously proportioned, though one could never have called her fat. There were streaks of gray in her dark hair that was brushed smoothly back from her flushed face, and her eyes were kind and friendly. She was wiping workreddened hands on her apron as she came forward. “Oh, Gail,” she said eagerly, "you're really here. We were afraid i that at the last moment you might ' change your mind.” Charles turned and put his arm about the woman, keeping his other arm about Gail, and said proudly, “Yes, Kate, she’s here! Gail, this is my wife, Kate.” For a moment Kate and Gail I looked measuringly at each other, and then Kate’s innate friendliness flowed into her voice and her eyes and she said warmly, “Gail, dear, I am so happy to meet you. So very glad you could come to us for a long visit. A very long one, we sincerely hope!” "Thank you. You’re—very kind,” said Gail, and hated herself because her voice was unsteady, because she was deeply touched by the sincere warmth of her welcome. Greg, who had finished carrying in the luggage, asked quickly, “Where’s Norah?” Kate laughed richly. “Oh', she was dropping com for Uncle Charles when you got here. And she refused to meet Gail ip tier clot4«-. gbe’s gone to axes®.”

with a rising inflection of the voice, and saying the second name in a lower tone. Q. When a dish is passed to one at the table by a servant, should one say "thank you”? A. This is not necessary. o O O I Household Scrapbook I I By ROBERTA LEE | O o Brass Articles Brass articles lose their polish very fast.

“Aunt Kate, you beast," said a girl's voice, as the screen door swung open and closed behind a girl of about Gail’s own age. She came down the walk, smoothing her rich brown hair with hands that were still moist from scrubbing, and her crisp pink cotton frock crackled a little with the speed of her advance. “Hello, Gail. I’m so glad you’ve come. I do hope you’ll have fun.” “My niece, Norah Wayne, who makes her home with us," exclaimed Kate gently. Gail thanked Norah, and felt that if any more people were introduced to her in her present mood of shock and uneasiness, she would probably explode. “And now,” Norah said briskly, “let me take Gail up to her room and settle her in. I know what it’s like on that train. She probably wants to rest and get into something cool, and we can all talk her ear off later. She’s going to be here all summer. Isn’t it wonderful?” And she bore Gail off. leaving Kate, Charles and Greg still beside the path that led from the rickety unpainted picket fence up to the house. On each side of the path there were great bushes of the small, exquisitely fragrant deep red roses that grow with such prodigality in south Georgia and upper Florida. There were blossoming shrubs and beds of white harcissi, and against the house great masses of the amaryllis that grows almost white in this climate. Norah was chattering cheerfully as she led the way into the house. A wide hall bisected the house, ending at the back perch; on either side there were three rooms, with the kitchen beyond the back porch. Upstairs, Norah led Gail to a big square room that looked out over the freshly plowed field and beyond to where the tender green of new willows marked a wandering stream. Wherever she looked there were peach trees blooming riotously.

The room was furnished with dark, ugly furniture. Not antiques —just old! Cheap old furniture that had been tended and kept strictly because of its practical value. A huge bed, puffy with a feather mattress beneath a handtufted spread; a chest of drawers; a dresser, with more drawers; a washstand with a bowl and pitcher with great splashy red and blue flowers painted over them. Gail looked about her in barely suppressed amazement and dismay, but Norah, without noticing her perturbation, had gone to the washstand and peeped into the pitcher. “I did remember to fill the pitcher fresh for you, Gail,” she said. “Don’t bother to dress for supper—we don’t out here. And after supper I’ll help you unpack.” “That’s very kind, but—” Gail began automatically. “Please let me help you, Gail,” Norah interrupted with an almost childish eagerness, and flushed a little as she went on, “Laugh at me if you like, but you can’t guess what a thrill it’s going to be for me to see all the lovely clothes I know you must have!”

20 YEARS AGO ■» TODAY —

Sept. 29 — The school strike in Gary becomes serious. Verne Bohnke is serving as a pilot for plane of the former mayor of Flint. Albert Walters, 83, a retired farmer, dies this morning. The Haugk coal yard is damaged by fire this morning. Both Mr. and Mrs. James L. Gay of Alma, Mich., are ill with typhoid fever. Jack Johnson, former world champ, is appearing at the Bluffton street fair. o Man Is Executed For Wife's Murder Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 29 — (UP) — Joehua Ellwood Beatty, 47, a Harrisburg mill worker, was executed in Rockview prison’s electric chair early today for the murder of his .wife, Carrie Edith. Beatty was convicted for shooting his wife last Dec. 4 when he walked into a Harrisburg restaurant where she was employed as a waitress and fired four bullets into her body. He then telephoned police to “come and get me.”

answer, Norah went on as though a little ashamed of her impulsive confession, “I’ll help Kate finish supper. Come down when you’re ready.”

When Norah had gone, Gail sat down on the edge of the bed and looked about her with a sinking heart. The room was big and clean and airy; it was shabby and old and, to Gail, quite comfortless. She looked with incredulous eyes at the tall pitcher sitting neatly inside its huge bowl; at the dean towels, some of them neatly and painstakingly darned, folded across the rack above the pitcher; at the tall, old-fashioned oil lamp on the bedside table, with a box of kitchen matches beside it She looked up at the ceiling and around the walls for the electric switch. Because, of course, she told herself a trifle wildly, there must be electricity in this—this awful barn of a place. Electricity and a bath and —but she looked uneasily at the stout pitcher and the big bowl and the fresh cake of scented soap on the soap dish and the kerosene oil lamp—and quailed. Never in all her life had she been without electric lights and plumbing. She doubted if Lissa even knew that there were places devoid of those conveniences. She felt as though she had stepped out of her own small, safe, luxurious world into an outpost of civilization inhabited by savages. And then she brought her thoughts up sharply. Her father was no savage; he was an educated, cultured man, accustomed to what she and Lissa had accepted as the ordinary amenities of civilization. Kate, too, had spoken with the air and the voice of a well-bred woman. Norah was charming. Greg— But she wouldn’t think about Greg, for there had been something so hostile in his manner toward her, his contempt so brutally frank, that just thinking of him frightened her. But how, she wailed in her frightened heart, could she possibly stay here in this crude, comfortless place? The tender beauty of the early spring that pressed close to the windows, as though silently offering its comfort, only emphasized the contrast. The house was so big, so bamlike, so ugly. For a moment she put her face in her hands and tears threatened her. But she mustn’t cry now; she mustn’t let her host and hostess see that she was distressed or appalled at what, they were offering her. Her own good breeding demanded that she accept gratefully whatever they were able to provide. , But a whole summer here—oh, it was impossible! It was unbearable! And why, since her father was rich—not yet had she begun to doubt Lissa’s calm assurance on this point—should he be willing to live in this utter squalor? Even if the big house had burned, there had been ample time to have rebuilt it; or if there had been any lack of building materials, surely this place could have been remodeled, electricity and plumbing installed. The place could have been rnado livable, even with a sort of rustic charm, if someone had wanted it to ba (To Be Continued)
