Rheumatic Fever Treatment

By Herman N. Bundeeen, M. D. i ONCE a child has had rheums-1 th- fever, the great problem in to keep the diaeaae from recurring, i Indeed, nt a tilths show that if this dread scourge of childhood could be limited to one attack it would soon lose its reputation m a killer, for only one out of every hundred victims dies during the initial attack, in other words, it is the repeated assaults on the heart which finally weaken it to the point where the child's life is endangered. The fact that rheumatic fever devvJops after colds or sore throats, due to certain types of hemolytic streptococcus, has pointed the way to Its control. Reasoning that if the number of such sore throats can be reduced the frequency of recurrence of rheumatic fever can be decreased, medical man have recently tried penicillin loxenges as a preventive for sore throats of the type which lead to rheumatic fever. Results are most hopeful Patients were advised to sue* the losengra slowly about one hour after each meal and were given a month's supply at a time. At the end of each month, patients reported for checkup This was repeated during the fall, winter and spring months when upper respiratory infections are most prevalent Twenty-two children were given the penicillin loxenges and 22 others with rheumatic fever were observed at the same, time, but were not given the penicillin None of the chlMren who had the penicillin developed sigw of activity ; of the rheumatic iaforttoa. whereas. four of the control group predefinite* AttACk* of th* rheumatic fever.

That's right 1 Feller ... do your stuff. ——o o— — As the Republican convention opens, ft is clear to the average person that the biggest fight for the presidential nomination is between Governor Dewey and Senator Taft. If not nominated, one of the two can name the party lead er. Among the compromise candi dates, Senatr Vandenberg and House Speaker Joe Martin seem to be the favorites. Former Governor Stassen's chances of winning the prize, seem to have lessened in the past two weeks, and ft is more likely that lightening might strike Governor Warren ofj California, before it would the Minnesotan. A New Germany: As a result of the agreement of the six-power conference on a federal form of government for Germany. American ideals will dominate Germany's future. With the goal of selfgovern inent as an end to strive for. the people will choose their delegates tc the assembly which will meet to draft a constitution, which in turn will he submitted to them for a vote. The contrast of this method of government with the mockery of democracy Imposed by the Russian* cannot fail to be marked by the Germans. Even now. lu the face of Russian propaganda stressing the division of the country, many Germans favor the method approved by the conference. In point of tact, the way will be open at any time for complete unification including the Rus sian zone. Perhaps now the German people will begin to look forward to a future which may hold for them the respect and esteem of the rest of the world. The time for looking back is past. Their energy should be spent on building a peaceful, productive future

land that they had fewer colds I and sore throats than they had 1 j prior to taking the penicillin, j Furthermore, when these upper respiratory infections had occurred. they were not serious The I loaenges apparently had no effect on common colds ft would seem that further ! study of the use of the penicillin ' loxenges in the prevention of at- ■ tacks of rheumatic fever, is of ' great Importance to the nation's children, so many of whom fail victims to this dread disorder ' every year. It develops most fre- • quently in those between the ages 'of six and eight years, and recurs I most often between the ages 11 I and 13. Thus, If our youngsters ■ ran be protected against its ravages at these crucial times, thousands of lives can be saved and a I great deal of invalidism prevented. i , QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS » J. J. R.: I hare a ten-year-old : girt who has nosebleeds often Is this serious? I Answer: Nosebleed, a common ■ indisposition, may be due to many i causes, of local and general claasiI fleet ion. The local causes include those - which directly affect the nose— I for example, a blow on the nose, - picking of the nose, or tumors of - the nose Among the general caases are i the acute diseases, especially the ’ beginning of scarlet fever or i me**lse; conditions in which there t is high blood pressure, such as I hardening of the arteries chronic r kidney disease, and diseases of r the blood, such aa anemia ► Nosebleed frequently occurs st » the period of maturing at which, » time the blood pressure rises rapidly A thorough study by a phymetaa i- is seeded to determine the dhuae.’ i ts« proper tiwoftit acty w •kg-’ r tested.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX MRS, WOODFORD took a sip of the punch and whirled on her husband. "Huntley! la thia—is it ?” Huntley looked at his wife with a perfectly straight face. "Just fruit juices, my dear," he murmured. "Os course, there may be a little maraschino in it, or something hke that " Bigclow, who was ladling out the punch, took him up with a twinkle. "T h a t—ah—rather odd flavor is some imported grape juice I brought Mr. Paulson when 1 came up. Perhaps that’s what you taste." "Perhaps." Mrs. Woodford drained her cup. "It's delicious. I think I’ll have another cup and then, Huntley, I must have another look at Mr. Paulson's library. Don't you think we could fit up that little den of yours so that it looks a litfte less Uke an abandoned squirrel nest?" Huntley, looking alarmed, sped after bis wife. His den was his one refuge, and be wasn't going to have it "decorated." A voice at Andrew's elbow. "How many glasses did she take?” Re turned to find Mrs. Potts beside him. "Welcome!" he cried. "Os course, you've seen it in the process of getting done over, tut bow do you think It looks now?" "It's lovely," she sighed, letting her prominent eyes roam at will over the now crowded dining room. "But 1 had a reason for asking about Mrs. Woodford, Andy." “Oh.” He thought back to her question. “Only one glass, and she walked off wrth another to sip at while she examines the 11brarv Why?" "Well," Emma Potts had a wicked light in her eyes, "now's your time to catch her. I bet you could get an order out of her to do over their summer place, or build on that wing she’s always talking about. You'd better go after her.” Andrew, however, did not have the ehance to profit by her advice. At that very moment, the McClures arrived, squired by Mr. Emmons and his nephew Ellery. Mrs. McClure stood in the doorway, with her heads clasped tease ty. “Mr. Paulson, what a transformation! Why, Td never know this was the old Wheeler place." She jeamed on him. "And don’t the curtains took nice here? Oh, rm glad I didn't see It before, but let ft all buret oa mo this way.” Joan smiled at him stiffly, and Andrew’s heart sank.

in pleased surprise at that first glimpse. She started to turn to him with an exclamation of pleasure, then caught herself, and entered the room Instead. Most of the guests were gathered there by now, and Bigelow and Andrew began to pass the supper plates on which the hot dish was arranged. This was a casserole of shrimps, chicken, and mushrooms, cooked in a white wine sauce. There were also a salad of fresh fruit in gelatin with grenadine, crusty breadsticks and fresh hot rolls, and hearts of celery. Mrs. Potts caught at Andrew's sleeve aa ho peseed. “Did you make this, Andy?" she whispered. “If you did, and you’ve been fooling me playing dumb about cooking, I’ll never forgive you!” "All I did was the scullery work," he answered with a laugh. "And I did butter the rolls. But Biggy wouldn’t let me touch anything else— ho said I’d bo sure to spoil ft." Mrs. Potts looked at Bigelow with new admiration. “My stars, who'd have thought it?" she inquired, taking tn his neat business ! suit, his quiet, rather staid air. “Why, he’s talented enough to be J a—a womah J” she burs', out At that moment, there was a crash at the far end of the room. Gloria, unaccustomed to balancing ’ a plate upon her knee, had grown 1 restless on the leather hassock where she was sitting, and had ' shifted her legs with disastrous results to the Crown Derby. "Gto- ’ ria!" her mother almost shrieked. 1 rising with «ie swift motion, and ’ flying to the side of her awkward ’ daughter. Andrew was on the scene almost 1 as quickly. "Did it get on your 1 dress?" he asked. Gloria had worn 1 her very boot, a pale Hue wool ' which made her took even larger ' than she was, but which he knew 1 was her pride and joy. * "No," she sobbed, more unnerved by his kindness than by ' her mother's fury. "No, but 1 b-broke your p-plate!" ‘1 have plenty." he consoled her. - “And see, ft didn't even get on the • rug. We’D have thia rasas up in ’ a jiffy." Even as he spoke, Bigelow approached with a dustpan, ’ and a damp cloth, and Andrew ' said, thinking to give her a chance to compose heroelf, "Now you 1 come out to ths kitchen with me, ' and we'll fix you up another plate." ; At this, Gloria bunt into louder sobs, and her mother hustled her I from the room.

June 21—(UP) — Republican convention sidelights: The first stampede of the convention occurred at Dewey headquarter* last night. It was nonpolitical. An unidentified person, seeking relief from the hest of the crowded room, started it all by opening a door lea id ng to a storage room adjacent to Dewey's headquarters. There he found case upon case of a popular soft drink whose bottle top* a* being used in a national prize contest. He helped himself to a bottle. Hundreds of others quickly joined him. They consumed 93 cases. Early today, two visitors were seen gathering up the bottle tops. They should do well tn the prize contest. The 93 case* add up to 2.232 • bottle fops. There are more women delegates to this convention than any other in Republican history. Os the 1094 delegates. 11* are women. That doesn't count the 240 women alternate*.

Andrew tried to smooth her down. “I don’t think he meant a word of it, Mre. Potts," he protested. "I think he—" “Os course he didn't!” she flashed back at him. "/ know that, and so does everybody else. He just can't resist trying to get the spotlight with what he calls his ‘wit,' and he don’t care who he hurts tn the process. It's bad business, putting wisecracks above friendship, and you’d think he’d know better at Ms age.” Andrew filled a fresh plate for Gloria, and since she was enraptured with the salad, gave her two portions. She hung back, however, not wanting to return to the living room where she was sure all the others would be watching her every move. Andrew did not press , her. "Stay here if you want to,” he said. "Bee, here’s Ellery to keep you company.” Ellery advanced shyly from the doorway, ' and Andrew said heartily, TH bet you could use another helping, , couldn't you?" "Yes, sir!" Ellery said with em- ' phaais and handed over his plate . The embarrassing moment had apparently been bridged in the liv- : Ing room by Mra. Woodford and her ready tongue. She arsa still holding forth when Andrew returned. "Os course, they're aoa- ; veou rtche, and have no more man- ' nets than you'd expect under the circumstances, but really—that ■ was going too far!” Andrew sat down beside Georgs. ‘ "Who’s she talking about?" he [ "I^e^stabrooks—your nearest I neighbors,” George replied. Andrew pricked up his ears. > Aside from the fact that they had . bought some of his leno for enough ( money to enable him to purchase I this house, he knew nothing about ■ them. "Summer people," Eph had r called them. "Where do they come from?" Mra. Woodford heard him. "From , some horrid little town In PenaI sylvania, where they own the one and only Industry, I understand.
