Operation Early In Life For Funnel Chest J

THERE is, a condition known as funnel chest, and it is more com-' mon than’ most, people seem to realize. I,‘ ■>' , This disorder, which has its ginning in early childhood W even infancy, was ’formerly believed to he due to rickets. Today, however, it's cause is assigned. to a disturbance of the action.of the diaphragm.' which .is 9the r mtfecii*'lar wall dividing the chest cdvity from that of'the abdomen. “ j This, faulty action of the diaphragm Causes the breast bone, cartilages, and ribs to be pulled inward.“As the child grows; they become permanently fixed in this manner. The width of the chest is decreased, putting pressure upon the heart The heart may ’"'even be pushed into an abnormal position. The large blood vessels and*structures of the chest are crowded, the spine curved out-, vardr and tho abdomen becomes distended. « Heart symptoms are rarely not ed during infancy, ’burlmay ‘be found if,/the heart lies just below the depression, ofc the breast bone The symptoms usually appear during the end of the second-or third decades of life and cannot easily be remedied at time,. Nearly three-fourths/ of the adults with this deformity have •ah n o mia 1 electrocardiograms (electrical tracings of the heart beat). The breathing capacity may be reduced to half that of aorciai However. some adults pjay be‘helped by surgery if it if

An old maid, fading sweetly, spending a life in dutiful attendance on an invalid mother. Everywhere , you looked you saw them, wan, Colorless, patient nhid-dle-agedj women with hopefully touched-up hair and clothes pathetically too young, with too ■much mikeup on their desperately Smiling faces. Lost lives, chained ao Mamifna tn a wheel chair. p Oh. God! Ellen stiffened on the landing.! I’m wishing her dead! Please, God, forgive me? There' wa» a long Victorian mirror there, an ornate gilded affair with an- on top, and sillyr looking gilt cherubs decorating the frame. The glass was a trifle mildewed but clear enough for Ellen to see herself, a tall, grave girl without i much animation in her face, a slim/ straight body, a mpely rdunqed bust, tanned arms, indefinitely brown hair and eyes that were too remote, but just now darkly desolate. . 1. Quickly she pulled her lips up at the confers, attempted a gay and youthful; sm ( 10, but the result was forced apd artificial. “Already,” she mourned ialoUd, "already 1 am getting that frustrated look!” |l|l "Word yoU spedking to someone out there, Ellen?’’ called her mother, i, ' | f 1 \ \/ "Only* to myself/ said Ellen heavily, as she went into the room. “If you're feeling better this afternoon I’ll get the Florida salt washed out of my hair. It feels heavy ahd sticky.” "I w|sh you hadn’t cut it so short," iretted Martha, raising herself jin the bed. "It’s fashionable, I know,'but I always liked It down over, yodr shoulders. I’ll try to get up, I think. I can sit'on the chaise if 1 cant walk.

She got the bottle of solution from the refrigerator and .warmed it under the tap. Hattie, the middleaged maid of all work, who had a hervous dread of all things medical, watched from a chary distance. "How long your ma got to take that stuff?" She backed away even farther as Ellen filled the syringe. "Looks like she had enough to' kill her now.” > “AH per life, Hattie. If we stopped these shots, even for a day now, she might sink into a coma and idie.” 1 -J 1 Hattie shuddered. "Miss Ellen, why didn’t you catch you a beau down there in Floridy? Any girl pretty as you ought to have plenty of men runnin’ after ’em.”' “Maybe I was born to be a lone spinster, Hattie." "No’m, you wasn’t. That ain’t in your eye. You’ve got a seekin’ in your eye.

Ellen, the hypodermic protected with a wad of cotton, went up the stairs a tittle giddily, as though the implication of Hattie’s words had been an intoxicant. She was suddenly thinking of her father as she had never considered him — Malcolm Fowler the man. Always before to her he had, secn Papa, correct, kind, inclined to be tiresome wtien he took an oratorical tone, a man, the city respected and knew to be honorable and untouchable though his field had been political for, many years.

Ellen she considered a dull girl with whey in her veins. Joan, tingling with the excitement of the nefws she carried, could hardly wait for Hattie to open the door. “It’s all fight to do up, ish't it?” She pushed past the maid briskly. "1 thought I would come and sit with Mrs. Fowler fbr a few minutes.” "Yes’rn, I reckon." Hattie turned back to thd rear of the house. “Ellen might like to go out for a breath of air,” Joan remarked as she headed up the stairs. She tapped at the half-open door above, poked her head in, grinning affablyi “Only me,” she announced. "I jutt popped in to say hello.” “Do come in, Mrs. Iglehhrt.” Ellen closed the book and rose.
