Folic Acid Helpful in Anemias

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. THE number of chemical substances required by the body for the proper functioning probably runs into the thousands. Some have been known to us for years and, from time to time, we discover others so important that we are amazed that they could have eluded us so long. From this we suspect still others of which we as yet know nothing. One of those most recently discovered and one which plays an important role in health, is known as folic acid. Folic acid is a part of the vitamin B complex, that magnificent bundle •of health-essential vitamins among which are riboflavin and nicotinic acid. Found in yeast and in liver, folic acid has also been made in the laboratory and hence is available today in pure form for the treatment of a number of disorders. Like other vitamins, insofar as we know, it is effective only in treating conditions which are due to its lack. Among these are several types of anemia. \ By and large, anemia is a condition in which the blood s red cells are not only reduced in number but also lose soyne of the hemoglobin or red coloring matter which, enables them' to\ carry oxygen to the tissues. \ Among other things, the type of anemia depends on whether the lack at red cells is due to failure of tfce body to forts tkets fa&t enough or to tbeif toO-early and too-rapid destruction. These various types

back to the United States to go where it ta badly needed, into steel mills. In return, Japan will get finished steel products for use in her rehabilitation. 0 o John W. Blakey, widely known township farmer, will assume office as county commissioner on January 1, succeeding Dale D. Moses, who will have completed two terms and was not a candidate for re-election. In the reorganization of the board, the political complexion will shift to the Democrats, two of the three members being of that party. Mr. Blakey is an experienced public servant, having served as a former county treasurer and is well versed in county governmental problems. Mr. Moses served with credit during his six years and will devote his time to his dairy and farm, north of the city. o o Two of the state’s largest newspapers, the Indianapolis Star and Journal - Gazette, discussed tax matters in their columns yesterday. It is a dry subject, but everybody is interested in taxes. The federal government has difficulty in collecting the full share of taxes from certain groups and those who must pay through the payroll deduction plan, are the victims of evaders. No one likes to pay in full and know, or at least suspect that the other fellow is getting by cheaper. Maybe congress could correct the whole matter with a sales tax, exempting necessicities like food and clothing. Federal tax I evasion is one of the evils of the I day. o o Local coal and oil dealers are coping with the fuel situation in every conceivable way and so far have been successful in obtaining sufficient supplies for heating purposes. The Northern Indiana Public Service Company, which supplies this city with natural gas for home heating and industrial purposes, has installed emergency facilities at its Fort Wayne plant and the Federal Power Commission has allocated its supply from the Texas fields, which although it 'does not meet the maximum demand will improve the local situation. However, restrictions for use of natural gas, still remain in force, on order of the Indiana Public Service Commission. All around, it looks like the fuel suppliers are « doing everything they can to keep j us warm and their customers appreciate the attentive service.

cause different symptoms and they can be further distinguished by careful examination of the blood cells under the microscope. One of the anemias which folic acid helps is a variety known as macrocytic anemia, which affects infants and children. Since it is helped so markedly by the taking of folic acid, this anemia is evidently due to lack of a normal supply of this substance in the body. Perhaps the most important use of folic acid is in the treatment of pernicious anemia. Some years ago, it was found that pernicious anemia could be treated satisfactorily with liver or liver extract. Folic acid apparently has the same effect on the condition as liver extract. On the other hand, it seems less effective than liver in warding off the damage to the nervous system which often occurs in pernicious anemia. Still another condition in which folic acid has beeifofound effective is in the anemia which occurs in connection with a disorder called sprue. Sprue is found especially in tropical and semi-tropical countries. In sprue there is diarrhea, loss of weight and strength, as well as the anemia. Anyone who develops anemia should of course, have a careful study made by a physician to determine just what type of the disorder is present. Then the most effective treatment for the condition can be administered. If the anemia is one of the,types which might be feelped by folic prepvstios will be prescribed by *b e doc * tor in the proper doses.

CHAPTER NINETEEN WHEN Alison went downstairs, she neard voices outside. Viola was* clearing away the dishes. "Mister Sam’s car won’t start,” she said. “The battery's gone * dead " Presently Teresa came in with a purposeful air. She had thrown her mink coat over her navy slack suit. “Oh, Viola, I’m sorry. I’m tracking mud. But Mr. Tarrant’s car won’t start and I'm driving him in to hia office. Good morning, Alison. Sleepy-head! Is there anything I can get you in the village, Viola? Groceries? Meat?” "Yas’m.” ["Where's a pencil and paper? I’ll have to write a list.” Obviously Viola kept all such matters in her head. She looked nervous and bewildered. She looked as if she had a good mind to drop the dishes and run. Teresa moved too quickly for her and asked too many questions. Teresa said, "Never mind. I’ll find them. We can’t keep Mr. Tarrant waiting.” “No’m” i In an atmosphere of temporary tranquility the doctor came. Alison liked the cging, lumbering, tired country doctor who truly looked as if he slept in his clothes. No matter that his fingers were stained with nicotine or that his spare, sandy hair was a stranger to a brush. No matter these things when you saw 40 years of skill and experience make a sick child well. A man of few words, he had no bedside manner, no charm of personality, but like Sam he would dignify any house, anywhere. As usual when they came down he sat for a few minutes to give her her Instructions as to the child’s care—her diet, so many hours sitting up today, her medicine. Either shy or absorbed he had scarcely noticed Alison. But this morning, squinting through the smoke of his cigaret, he looked at her quite directly. He spoke slowly, “lou're Mrs. Tarrant's sister?" "Yes.” No doubt he had forgotten that in the beginning she had told him she was Sam’s sister-in-law. "Has Mrs. Tarrant gone back to Washington?” “No. She drove Sam to his office. His car wouldn’t start this morning. She isn’t going back until she takes Suzy -ith her. I 1 suppose this is rather an awkward I situation.”. I He nodded understandingly. "Di> ; vorce is always awkward when there are children. There of it here. Divorce. I mean.

i suppose you'll call us conven- < tional, even provincial.” < fk’But everyone here knows that i SSm and my sister have been di- j vorced, don’t they?” “Os course.” He smiled slightly. ’’But people will talk, you know, , and mind other people’s business. It isn’t entirely malicious. In large j cities people don’t know very much about one another, while here everybody knows about the other , fellow—how Sam, for instance, ran away from school his first day there and hid in the shrubbery, the time a swarm of bees chased him all the way home and how he looked when he gave his first public debate in high school. There's little that can be hidden in a small community.” "I know. 1 grew up in one in New England.” , *1 thought so. You don’t look much like a city girl. Or maybe you don’t like my saying that because you’re trying to look like one.” i “1 don’t know how to try to be anyone else, doctor.” Though she smiled at him, she felt uneasy. People were talking about Teresa living in her former husband’s house and driving him to his office. Her flaunted air of possessiveness, even glimpsed from a distance, was unmistakable. The doctor was trying to tell her that they didn’t like it. that they dldn’ 4, think it quite decent according to their standards. Perhaps s?me of them were making fun of her. And all of it together wouldn't be good for the struggling young editor, the servant of the public. She said, "You’ve known Sam a long time, haven’t you?” “Since his first lusty howL I’ve seen babies wanted and I’ve seen them unwanted, but I’ve never seen one wanted more than Sam was by his parents.” He raised heavy lids and looked at her. "But I can’t stay here because while it would be no discredit to you, I’d very shortly fall asleep.” Apparently Teresa had cut quite a figure on the village street, for when she returned she looked amused when she said, “The way people stared at me! Don’t you suppose they’ve ever seen a mink coat before? They’re positively quaint When 1 said, This order is for Mr. Tarrant,’ to the butcher, his jaw dropped. ’l’m Mrs. Tarrant,’ I told him. He was rather sweet I doubt if anyone here knows Sam and 1 were divorced. How is Suzy this morning?" ’’Much better. The doctor was here. Suzy wanted to know where you were.”/ But Teresa had not been so worried about her child, Alison thought ‘-h»t afee had forgotten to bring to the farm a col-

orful and attractive wardrobe Nor dkl she fail to keep in daily com. munication with her office in Washington. “I’ll go right up and see her ” But the telephone rang and Teresa went to answer it “This is Mrs. Tarrant," Alison heard her say decisively. “Yes, Mrs. Tarrant. I’m sorry, he’s not here, but you’ll find him at his office." Teresa’s possessive love revealing itself in any number of ways. . . . But while her love made her more beautiful, because love is the greatest beautifier in the world, it gave her no peace. It was like a forest fire seeking new timber to ravage. It was as though she were tormented by the question, “What next? I must have this and more.” Always more. And to Alison it was indisputable that for as long as Sam had been gone, Teresa had wanted him back. She might have been a new person, but she was not. The only difference between the Teresa who had said, “I’ve put all of that out of my life forever” and the young woman who looked at Sam with insatiable eyes was that her true feelings had triumphed over her pretenses. Sam’s quiet strength and his. reserve forbade any clear understanding of his feelings. He was by turns arpusing, introspective, interestingly conversational. He told them stories of the lighter side of war and of odd characters he had met in France and Holland and Belgium. But Sam committed himself to no one except to his child. One day when he came home he found Teresa mending his old clothes. She was wonderful at sewing. A darn could scarcely be seen and a patch was hardly noticeable. He stood still and smiled gratefully. She said, smiling, "I had to. I hope you’ll forgive my going through your things, but you left this morning with a hole in your sock. I found a shirt with only one button on it.” “I’ll feel like the best-dressed man in town when you get through, but my inelegant wardrobe is hardly worth your valuable time, Teresa.” "I can think of no more rewarding way to use it than in this way.” “Very nice of you to do it for me.” She laughed. "Stop being so modest, darling. You underestimate yourself, Sam.” When Vioja announced lunch Teresa went in and sat at. the place that Sana’s wife would occupy. (To ~ Qopfoqed)
