h Blood Vessel Disorder

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. i FOR some time, groups of doctors everywhere have been study i Ing disorders affecting the blood ; vessels, that is. the arteries and I1 veins, especially in a condition i called thromboangiitis obliterans t This is also known as Buerger's i disease. In this condition there is some htfUimnation of these blood i vessels and this inflammation re- i suits in the blocking of the flow of | blood through them. Depending up- I on the location of the blood ves- i seis, this disorder may cause little i disability, severe pain or. at times, i even death of the tissues due to i tack of the blood supply. j I This condition occurs most often' in men, but occasionally it does develop in women. Just what pro-' duces it has not been definitely de- , tennined. However, it has been suggested that the excessive use of tobacco may be a factor. Virus' infection has also beeu thoughi to be a possible cause The disorder comet on gradually There may be aches and pains in the legs, some numbness, weak arches and muscle cramps. Sometimes the sudden formation of a blood elot la -one of the veins or small arteries is the first sign of tbe disease. It is important that this condt-1 tion be discovered early, since treatment is more effective in th* early stages. Disappearance of the puisatiou or beating in tbe blood vtwci.

the automatic type telephone system largely within the year. We extend best wishes to company i management its corps of co-work-ers and courteous operators on the * beginning of the new year. May t success mark their diligent ef- ' forts during 1949. r t —o o About the only way that the - federal budget can be reduced is to bring an end to the “cold war” . and cut appropriations for military defense. Approximately 14-billions out of a total of so billions are set aside for the army and navy and air force, just because this country cannot take a chance at being unprepared, if Russia should start a shooting war. The world needs peace and wants peace. The high cost of government is largely due 1 to Russia”s obstruction of this world goal. 0 0 Nothing distresses us as much as hearing that people are out of work, or that employment is no longer available to those who wish to work. We understand that peaks cannot always be maintained, but at the same time hope that current unemployment may be only temporary. Renewed activity in manufacturing and building lines Should start early in the new year, thus offering opportunities for work. The wants of Americans are not filled by any means and if past experiences are an indication, the present lull should be overcome with a greater surge of employment, than the country has seen. We hope 1949 brings employment to all. —o o Federal Revamping: As the Hoover Commission continues to make its separate, de- 1 tailed reports on studies of various segments of the federal governj ment, it becomes increasingly evi- ■ dent that the whole administrai tive structure needs reorganization and rebuilding on the basis of' a new design. It is important to understand that the waste, duplication and inefficiency which the Commission seems to find are not creatures of recent years only. They are the result of the basic method by which government has been expanded almost from the beginning. Once in a while a new function of government has been added ; to the work of an existing department of agency. But far more j often a naw office or agency or department has been established , to handle the new activity. Once i set up, a new unit usually begins looking for more things it can do, to expand its own size and extend its authority. The only supervising agency, to co-ordinate all these agencies and bureaus and departments, is the White House. Seldom does the President have either the time or the special talent to be a super-administrator over this maze of subordinate organizations.

toms. hi the early stages of this condition, the treatment consists of the avoidance of tobacco, increasing the Intake of salt and water, and the elimination of infections in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses, and elsewhere in the body. As the disorder progresses, the use of certain substances to delay the clotting of the blood, such as heparin and dicoumarol. may be helpful. X-ray treatments of the areas where the blood clots form also are of value. Sometimes the giving of injections of typhoid vaccine into a vein in small doses may bring some benefit. Dr. Gera deTakats has found that the injection of a substance known as sodium tetrathionate into a vein is better than the typhoid vaccine. Twelve injections are employed. given every second day. lu the latte stages of Btierger's disease when the condition has become quite severe, an operation is sometimes performed in which the nerves to the blood vessels are cut. This operation has been found helpful in many instances. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS P. Y.t What would cause puckering and bitter taste in the mouth?

SYNOPSIS What nad becomt ot me old Lakeside crowd after Uie wart rhat la the question wi.icn K»eiy Donna Coll well pondered as late in tne night she sac ny ner window going over all mat nad happened at me Lakeside Club dance. Tbs crowd nad changed. There were me aftermaths ot me trappy and unhappy war romances and marriages; me war widows including ner Druther s young wife Donna nerseU still worked tor a living in New York, a successful young career gin. There was Mara Bamsier still completely devoted to her, impatient lor marriage with her. CHAPTER TWO THERE WERE others at the party, quite young ones, younger even than Thelma. They had been considered infants when Donna and her crowd were having their happiest times at the Lakeside. Now they were conspicuously present, patently taking over in their turn. Some of them were foamed and one, whom Donna remembered as an impertinent little brat, was the mother of twins. Mark Banister was unchanged. Donna, dancing in his arms, talked along in her old cheerful manner, teasing, chaffing, gay in repartee, to which he responded in kind as he always had done. But no light chatter could entirely banish the nagging consciousness of all the tragic changes time had brought. Conversation among the girls was different too, and for some reason it made Donna, the unmarried, feel old and wise and sophisticated. Comparison of formulae and baby weights; tribulations with baby sitters; high cost of groceries; job injustices to which husbands were subject—blatant trivialities in a world burning with terrific Issues.

Donna burrowed her head against Mark's cheek contentedly and for a while they danced in silent pleasure. That, she mused, was one of Mark's best points; whether you talked or whether you were silent, you were sure of his companionable contentment She glanced up at him, a glance of approval which froze suddenly on her bright -face. Mark was not gazing down at the top of her head with his usual rapt adoration. His eyes, deeply shining, were fixed off somewhere in space, away from her. His lips were curved In a broad smile. Donna halted their rhythmic movement and squared about to face him. “What are you laughing at?" she demanded suspiciously. "Nobody said anything." He drew her back into his arm. "Was I laughing? I didn't know it But there's laughter Inside of me and I suppose it oozed out to the surface." "If you are thinking something funny, you ought to tell me. I like laughing, too." ; "It isn't really fussy and it's nothing to laugh at either, rm just grinning like a fool because rm so happy 1 cant help #." He was supposed to be happy dancing with her, Donna reflected, tad ha ana happy. SUH. his was

not ordinarily a grinning pleasure such as she had caught unaware in ms eyes and on his Ups. “It must be some extra special happiness," she surmised. “Don’t be stingy, Mark. Let me in on iL" “You are in on it, all right," he assured her contentedly. “In fact, you are IL AU of IL I wasn’t going to tell you until we were away from here. Until we were alone. I didn’t realize it was sticking out all over me." “It was," she said. “It still Is. Go on, Mark, teU me." “Donna," he whispered exultantly, ’1 got it! The step with the company. Member of the firm! It’U be announced in the papers Monday.” Again Donna halted their dancing. “Mark! No!" she cried joyously. “Donna! Yes!" His voice, no more than a whisper, was resonant with pleasure. Donna flung both arms around him and kissed him ecstatically. “Darling, darling!" she cried. “How wonderful! How gorgeous! I’m proud of you!" AU dancing ceased abruptly and their friends crowded about them. “Congrats! Congrats!" "Well, it's about time!" “You promised I can be maid of honor!” “What's the date? I want to make a note of it!" “You certainly were slow getting around to it! You'U never catch up with Ed and me!" “Oh, it hasn't anything to do with me,” Donna cried gaily. ’lt's all Mark! He got a big step. An enormous step! They took him into the firm! He's a podner!” There were handclasps and shoulder slaps. There were congratulations and moans of envy. There were hints of favors to be asked and jobs to be sought "A stqp's a step, Mark, my lad," he was reminded. “Out of service as well as in." Mark nodded cheerful acceptance of wartime responsibilities of service “steps" and they moved to the bar. “On me," he said to the rented bartender. “What'U you have, parasites?" The party began breaking up soon after. Donna clung to the dregs of it as long as she could, making excuses for delay although Mark tried to hurry her. Someone, she said, had to see that things were wound up properly and she was on the committee. The married couples, she remarked pointedly, tired of dancing much more quickly than in their premantai daya And of course baby sitters doubled their rates after midnight She reminded Mark of other years when they had danced all night and then, around four or five in the morning, when borrowed maids and rented bartender had gone, had cooked breakfast for themselves. coffee aad bacon and egga.

Before matrimony broke things up and all their good times went to pieces. “And now, Donna, my darling," Mark said as they were driving! homeward through the snow-white’ night, “I have the honor and great; joy to ask you to set the date!' And make it soon, sweet, make It soon! Tomorrow, if possible!" j “Mark," she said gently, “do you mean this as—as a proposal?” Mark laughed with boyish glee. “Nothing else and nothing less,” he said heartily. “You know what 1 did first thing today when they called me in and said it was all settled? I called my tenants and told them to move out ot our house. And then I moseyed down town and got your engagement ring. It's in my pocket, if it hasn’t eaten a hole right through the lining. 1 know it's hot! It's been burning me up all night I’ll give it to you as soon as we park." "You shouldn’t have done that, Mark. You shouldn't have done any of those things. You should have talked to me first Because —1 am not going to marry you, Mark. I am not going to get married at all. Ever. I don't like marriage." Mark laughed again.. “Go on, darling,” he said happily. “Give me the whole works. Tell me you never dreamed of such a thing and I've taken your breath away and you must take me under advisement Oh, yes, and you have to ask mamma. And as soon as we park I’ll get down on my knees in the snow and do the thing according to Hoyle." “But I’m not joking, Mark." Her voice though faint was firm. “I'm not surprised. 1 knew you were going to ask me. Sometime. I put it off as long as I could. I'm not going to get married, Mark. I don't like marriage. I don't like anything about it" Mark swung the car into the familiar driveway and stopped smoothly. He drew her, warm and yielding, into his arms and kissed her. “Darling," he said huskily, “1 have never been so happy in my life. It was a hellish long time to wait but it’s over now." Donna did not withdraw from him. Her lips met his and clung responsively. When he fumbled in his pocket for the ring she said, "Didn't you hear me, Mark? Weren't you listening? I am not going to get married. I don’t want to. I won't" “Let's not joke about thia, sweet" be said. “It's such a thrilling moment and we've waited so long. Uta not joke. Let's just be —altogether happy. Joking is for things that aren't sacred. This is sacred." “I am not joking." Her soft voice was suddenly stem. 1 know all about marriage. 1 hate It It's just a civilized form of slavery. And not very civilized, either. I won’t have any part of it" (To Be Continued J
