Blood Clots that Form in Veins

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. . THE formation of a blood clot in t a vein is known as venous throm- i bosis. ’ There are two types of this con- i dition, one much more dangerous ] than the other. The first and re- I latively less serious one is called i thrombophlebitis. It usually oc-1 i curs in the veins near the surface. ■ Here, the clotting is due to in- \ < flammation of the wall of the blood vessel. The second type is known as < phlebothrombosis. In these cases, the vessel walls are healthy, but a clot forms because the blood coagulates more rapidly than it should. These clots are likely to j form in the deep veins of the legs. The chief hazard of this type of venous thrombosis lies In the danger that the clots may be pushed into the general circulation. Here they may travel to the kings and block important blood vessels there, causing sudden serious illness or even death. Injuries to the tissues, congestion in the liver, severe infections and overweight are contributing causes for phlebothrombosis. because these disorders seem to slow down the speed with which the blood flows through the vein. Shallow breathing following operation. and prolonged rest in bed, during which there is little or no muscle movement in the legs, are also factors in producing blood clots in veins. In thrombophlebitis, the clots which form adhere closely to the inflammed wall of the vessel and there is little danger of their com- , ing loose. Symptoms include pain, fever, and swelling of the affected parts. If the infection is confined to deeper veins, the skin is white and cold. When the superficial veins are involved, the skin | ip red and warm. 1

Philate- . lists get their name from two , Greek words which, combined, mean "lover of stamps.” Stamps appeal to varied types of individuals. There are those with that common urge to collect something who find stamps easy to store; the adventurous enjoy the search for rarities; the historically minded like to follow postal development and international events as recorded in stamps; the rich, the poor, the old and the young all can play with stamps on a big scale, or Casually. There is also the profit motive in stamp selling and bartering. o o The Geneva Boosters Club and residents in the Limberlost area, are not alone in their desire to keep the old wooden bridge near Ceylon, at least until it can no longer be repaired and be safe for traffic. Eugene Bock of Anderson, chairman of the Indiana Historical Society, reports there are 191 of these old structures in 42 counties in the state, and says that none was demolished last year. Adams county has two such bridges. The one at Pleasant Mills, which is limited to light traffic, is doomed with the improvement of state highway 101, if and when it is made. i o o The board of supervisors of Los Angeles County, California, has asked the legislature to offer a reward of $1,000,00(1 to “anyone who could provide usable water from the sea at a cost not to exceed sls per acre foot.” An acre foot is defined as the amount of water necessary to cover an acre of land to the depth of twelve inches. The thousands of gallons of water needed to supplement California’s inadequate supply would! need to be produced very cheaply to meet this requirement. If this objective could be achieved, it would be, says the supervisor, “the greatest contribution science has ever made to mankind — including atomic energy.”

In phlebothrombosis. the symptoms are not as constant. There may be some pain or tenderness in the calves of the legs and pain on movement of the foot. If it is suspected that the disorder is present, X-rays of the legs can be made in order to confirm the diagnosis of the presence of clots. Getting patients up and about early .after operation has reduced the number of cases of venous thrombosis. Following surgical operation in elderly patients, or in those who have had varicose veins, the application of moderately tight bandages to the legs and thighs may help to ward off the formation of blood clots in the veins. There is a substance known as dicoumarol which may be given by mouth, to slow down the clotting of the blood. In certain instances, it may be advisable to give this substance as a precaution to prevent clotting as in cases of broken bones, for instance,or in operations where there is special danger of thrombosis formation. In cases where it ■is suspected that a clot has formed which is not attached, it is necessary to ligate or tie off the affected vein immediately in order to prevent the clot from getting into the blood stream. Thrombophlebitis is usually treated by keeping the leg at rest applying heat, and by giving easy massage as the condition clears up. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. J.: I am forty-two years old and have pains in the breast. Is this something to be alarmed about? Answer: The condition is probably not one. However, it may be due to an infection or inflammation or to some type of tumor. Hence careful study by sI physician should be made as soon! ias possible. ‘ / *

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT CATHERINE BEGAN with Nicky’s room, beyond her own, near the head of the stairs. Nicky had on brown oxfords when he went to bed the night before. The oxfords were standing side by side in one of the capacious closets below his uniform blouse, and they were bone dry. He had no other foot gear of any sort. It wasn’t Nicky who had left the house last night. Thankfulness filled her. She was on her way out into the hall when she came to an abrupt standstill. There was someone in the next room. There were two people there. A door opened and she heard voices. One was Tom’s. The other was Hat's. Catherine’s heart thumped erratically. Tom’s room was separated from Nicky’s by an intervening bath. The door of the bathroom was evidently open. Suppose Tom should take a notipn to walk in here . . . She glanced speculatively at the door into the hall, but Tom’s bedroom door might also be open, and she didn’t want to be seen either in or coming out of Nicky’s room. She remained where she was. Hat and Tom were quarreling. Tom’s voice was angry. “I saw you yesterday afternoon,” he said. “I was in front of the Y when I saw you two going into McKendrick’s. . . .” Hat laughed. "Dear, dear, isn’t that just too terrible! So you saw us having a drink together.” Tom was exasperated. “Look,” he said with heavily patient sarcasm. “You’ve got Steve Darrell. Why don't you let Nicky alone? He’s going co marry Catherine. ... If Angela finds out that you’re fooling around with him again, she’ll be plenty hot under the collar.”

A foot stamped. "I’m not fooling around with him, you idiot.” “O. K. Then why didn’t you say you drove back with him from town ’ I saw you. What did you do? Get out of the car before you got here? Sooner or later you’re going to get caught playing your games. What’s in it for you? You’d better cut it out. If you don't, I’m warning you . . "WTiat'll you do? Go tittletattling?” Hat’s voice had a soft, silken quality to it. “You know, Tom, 1 wouldn’t do much talking if I were you, I really wouldn’t...” Grayness swirled around Catherine’s stiff shoulders, her rigidly held head. Threats and counterthreats—her exploration was giving her more than she bargained for. * Brother and sister moved off. She could no longer hear them. She roused herself. Back in her own room, which she entered without encountering anyone, she thought over what she had heard. Nicky and Hat meeting surreptitiously . . . What did it mean? A drink in the village together? Well, that was innocent enough. Why hadn’t they come out in the open with it? Why conceal that, and their drive back in the station wagon ? Standing at the window, looking out over the gardens and orchards, the rolling fields, the dark woods, veiled here and there with fog, Catherine swung the shade cord to and fro. Were she and Nicky I in the same boat? Thrown togeth- ' cr by the forces of murder in an artificial intimacy, seeing each i other, being with each other con-

stantly, day after day, had Hat’s old supremacy over Nicky, like Stephen Darrell’s over her, reasserted itself? What a sorry mess! She felt sad and unutterably depressed, not angry with anyone, for once not even with Hat. You couldn't help your feelings. You could your actions. Sne and Nicky would have to have a talk. . . . The chimes in the hall roused her from motionless brooding. She went slowly downstairs. Hat and Tom, Nicky and Francine were there. There wasn’t the slightest trace of the interchange between Tom and Hat, no suggestion of anything significant between Hat and Nicky. Catherine had a sensation of battling images in mist that dissolved when she advanced among them. After lunch, Angela sent for her. By that time, she had given up the idea of searching for wet shoes; it no longer seemed to her very good—and her intitial attempt hadn’t been very successful. It was later on, when she left Angela, that without searching for it at all, the information she had been seeking tumbled unsolicited into her lap. She found her aupt up and dressed in beautiful silvery tweeds. Angela was sitting erect in a chair near the fire, mending a glove in lamplight The afternoon was gray. Her chestnut hair in the familiar coronet of braids was as carefully arranged as ever, but her creamy skin had bluish undertones to it, and her eyes were empty.

They were fine eyes, large and ; a little heavy-lidded, accustomed , to resting on pleasant things, , comfortable things. There was no natural fret in Angela, no stir or ferment, no press of bothersome questions. If she was abnormal in anything, It was that she was the almost perfect norm, a happily married woman for two decades, kind, charitable, open-handed and good. She had never, in Catherine’s knowledge, done an unkind act. Yet it was to her that tragedy and heartbreak had come twice in less than two years. The facade was still there. Was the structure behind it crumbling ? There was no immediate indication of it, except for the empty look in her eyes, as though she weren’t there. Her surface tranquillity was, if anything, more pronounced. She spoke of money again, drawing the fine needle in and cut of black suede with small neat stitches. She wanted to give Catherine money until Mike’s money was located. Catherine refused as gently as she could. “I don’t need any, really, Angela. If I do, I’ll ask you for some . . There were pictures on the walls, of John, of Hat and Tom when they were little, of their mother, Angela’s sister, Laura, and their father, Richard La Mott. Tom was like his mother. Hat like her father. Laura and Richard La Mott, had been killed in a car crash when Hat was a baby. Richard La Mott had died instantly, Laura had lived long enough to put the two children in Angela’s hands. She had had them ever since. It would kill her if they were mixed up, in any way, with John’s murder. And Hat had threatened Tom. . . . Her aunt didn’t speak of the dreadful revelation that had broken over the house las' night at all.

She addressed herself to practical matters. There was a leak in the roof of the east wing. Tom was going to see Mr. James about it The drawing room and hall needed painting badly, Francine had promised to look in on Mapsen, who did good work. Would Catherine post some letters for her in the village? She’d like them to catch the three-o’clock mail. And Susan Blair had called. Susan was head of the Town Improvement Association. “While you’re in town, will you stop in and give her this check—and sort of smooth her ruffled feathers? She wanted to come over but I—l didn’t feel up to seeing her.” Tom and Francine might have the cars. "I’ll call a cab for you.” She put her hand toward the phone but Catherine said she’d rather walk. Taking letters and check, she went downstairs. There was no one around. It would be good to get out into the open air alone, the clean untainted air where the fog was at least real She went to the hall closet, tied a scarf over her head, got into her coat and looked around aimlessly. The snow was melting and the roads were wet There were galoshes at the back of the closet, in a distant corner. Would they fit her? She reached in and started to pull them out —and her fingers stood still. The galoshes were damp. She drew them slowly from the closet

They were huge. Much too big to walk in with comfort. But someone had walked in them, recently. Not that day, Tom and Hat and Nicky had boots on. Someone had walked in these galoshes last night, slipping silently down the stairs in the small hours of the morning, pulling the galoshes on, going out to the garage and searching, coming back in and moving silently up the stairs, except for that single incautious footstep she had heard. The proof was there. Turning one of the galoshes over, she saw it, dulled by wetness, partially removed by snow, but nevertheless there, a smear of paint from Mike’s crushed tube of cerulean blue that the searcher had stepped on in his or her haste. The blue stain ran from the sole onto the cloth of the cravenette upper. Down on one knee, Catherine looked at the blue smear. The search of the garage was a direct result of the news that her uncle’s death was murder. It was someone in the house, or someone who had access to it, who had made that secret journey. Someone in the house ... It stretched away from her on every side, quiet and ordered in the gray light . . . She came to sharp awareness of her extreme vulnerability. There was no one in sight but she could he seen from a dozen different vantage points. . . , Was someone, in the upper hall, in the drawing room, beyond ti» sweep of the staircase, standing watching her? Coldness ran dowr. her arms and there was a prickling sensation at the back of her neck. She didn’t look anywhere. She got carefully to her feet Thrusting the galoshes back into the depths of the closet, she walked in a straight line to the front door, opened it, her shoulders stiff, closed it behind her end started down the driveway the welcome advance of a wall < mist -• (To Be Continued) ' y

Senator Lister Hill Repudiates Truman Asserts Party Can't Unite Behind Truman Washington. March 23. — (UP) — Sen. Lister Hill, D., Ala., long a staunch administration supporter in congress, today repudiated President Truman. Hill said the Democratic party could not unite behind Mr. Truman as its presidential nominee. Hill previously had announced he was a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic national cqhve'ntion as a supporter of Mr. Truman. He reversed his stand in a formal statement today. Hill's action came four days after Alabama’s other Democratic senator —John J. Sparkman—also repudiated Mr. Truman. Sparkman. also an administration stalwart has proposed backing Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hill recalled that in a March 11 radio speech he had said Alabama and the south “would suffer if the Democratic party was split and Republican victory insured.” Hill said he had pledged himself to do all in his power to preserve the unity of the party and obtain recognition and fair treatment for the south. Hill and Sparkman have been among the most regular adininis tration supporters from the south. Hill, a former house member and a member of the senate since 1938, formerly was party whip in the senate. Their defection from the Truman ranks dramatized the deepening split between the President and the southern wing of the party over Mr. Truman’s civil rights program. 0 Trade In a Good Town — Decatur o I 0 ASK A DOCTOR ABOUT CANCER Address your question to the I Decatur Democrat, and it will be answered by a qualified physician.
