- Pregnancy And Heart Ailments

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. j EVERY year, thousands of t women with heart disease have / successful childbirth and healthy : I / babies. It is true that their probJ lems are somewhat greater than » ri those of the normal mother, but f modem drugs, such aS penicillin, i and proper care, are helping f them go through a pregnancy v that is almost normal. I • They can also nurse their t babies successfully—-In fact this j Ab usually the best plan. . , It is up to the individual doctor F to determine just how well the ■; patient can stand the strain of r childbirth, and his judgment | should be followed with con- ' fidence by the patient. L Added Strain 1 ’ Having a child puts an added ? strain on all the organs of the * mother’s body, for they have to | , work for both mother and child ; - until the time of birth. Os Coursey s the heart has Itb work harder, too. V Its extra work begins about the 2 V twelfth week, increases gradually I through the Eighth month, then I Starts back to normal; ?

often accompanies pregnancy, should be, corrected rapidly, t When the physician examines such a woman, he looks fojr complications, such as swollen legs, Shortness of breath, ot an enlarged liver. If these signs occur, he forbids her to have much salt in her diet. \ ... J ' ! Perhaps he may require)her to take drugs, such as digitalis," to strengthen the heart. A woman with excess fluid in the body may have to take Injection? of mercury drug? to remove the fluids. Penicillin Important Once the woman begins her laboir, penicillin may play an important role. Large doses are given to prevent a serious complication of rheumatic; fever, in which streptococcal germs further, damage the valves of the heart. This condition’ is known as acute bacterial endocarditis. After the baby is delivered, the mother must rest in bed for two weeks. For a month she must limit her phyiscal activity to only the lightest tasks. ij As a rule, there is no reason why the mother should hoti breast feed her child, for this is the finest method of feedink for Infants. Thus, many womem yith heart trouble can have barbies successfully if they are given broker attention and care. ; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS > V. BL: What is an electroencephalograph used for? \?

CHAPTER ONE UNTIMELY darkness poised like a hovering bird over the land, squeezing out its woe in long wet sheets of rain. As a consequence, the streets of St. Louis were all but deserted, save for those unlucky mortals compelled by necessity to be abroad at this hour. A team of nondescript nags splashed through the mud, the .carriage which they pulled drawing up discreetly short ot the light reflected from the windows of the Planters House, that well-known and justly popular hostelry at Chestnut and Fourth. , Three men alighted, dismissing the cab. The first was short and broad, giving the appearance of a pouter pigeon: the\ next man was half a head taller, his long horse face showing sad and mournful. The last to descend was wrapped in a long military cloak, and he topped them both. The light showed a close-trimmed mustache palely red, a sharp hawk nose, and yel-lowish-brown eyes. After a quick, suspicious glance around, his voice came clipped and short: “Do you boys understand what you are to do? When he shows up at The Planters, contrive to make a fool of him—but at the proper time, understand, after my party arrives arid when I give you the signal! Make him Look like a fool, a bungling idiot Do a good job and I’ll pay you ten dollars apiece. If you pdt on a really good performance, I’ll double It’* •Trust us for that Cap’n Whirter.”i The voice was unexpectedly thin and reedy, coming as, it did from the beefy man with thd pockmarked face. “You can always depend on old Sol Sherwood for any job, specially if it’s a show. I’d of been on the stage yet if it wan’t for this face o* mine. And Taber ?here is nigh as good as me. Fact is, for thajt money, we’ll do rhore’n just make a show of him, if that’s whit want" [ “t don’t, you fools!" Whirter retorted impatiently. “Do what I tell you, and I’ll be satisfied. But if you bungle it. I’ll halve your P ay £’ \ “But, how will we know him?” Taber demanded, speaking from under a shapeless hat that dripped its collected puddles inside his pulled-up coat collar. “We don’t want to make no mistake —” “I’ve told you already. He’s tall —as tall as I am—and smoothshaven, except for sideburns. His hair is black as soot, and he’ll be

; I i in the uniform of a river captain. But it’s mostly the look of him—kind of a{ high and mighty air—” Abruptly he broke off to point, lowering his voice to a hissing whisper. “There he is now! Just getting out of that carriage!’’ This second [equipage had pulled up squarely in] front of the light thrown from th|e windows. Captain Denny Rawls, disdainful of the beating tain, paused to pay his fare, and with a smile and a gratuity jtor the driver which brought ah answering grin of appreciation to the broad black face, he stepped briskly across the sidewalk, boot thuds muffled by the soggy wetness of the boards, and disappeared within. Once inside, 'Rawls loitered near the main entrance, surveying the big, brilliantly lighted room and its equally resplendent company. As he had feared, the planters was thronged, even on such a night. His gray-eyed glance swept the room, quick and eager, losing some of its hope as he made sure that those for whom he Looked were not yet here). Convinced of that, he made a more leisurely survey, re* moving his hat and raincoat. ■the Planters House was alive, gay and roaring with Life; bubbling with a false spirit of bravado which sought, not too successfully, to hide the feeling of tension that gripped tpe land and particularly the town. This was the spring of ’64, and there had been the same quivering anxiety when Rawls had made his 4rSt visit here in ’6l. In those days, St. Louis, a SouthI ern city and proudly conscious of the fact, had been supremely conscious of its destiny in the., years ahead. Then as now it had been garrisoned by men Ln blue, Soldiers ■ whom the citizens regardeq as in- ‘ terlopers, almost as foreigners. ; U But in those days, which now ‘ itemed so far off, the city had suf--1 fCrcd the indignity with confidence that its thralldom would not last . long. Everyone had assured Denny [ Rawls, then, that the Yankees ; would quickly be swept from the r town, as from every other bit of Southern soiL ’ Now, after three more years of i war, that was a hope deferred and I grown dim. St. Louis was more j firmly in the hands of the North, ; and tensions had increased with the years. Captive it might be, but I St. Louis was still a\ rebel city at - heart, a seething hotbed of rebel--5 lion. ' V j Rawls shrugged, undisturbed.

You could find places other than here, and he accepted the situation as it was. Despite his own sympathies, he could see much to be said on both rides. Though as for St. Louis, he hadn’t liked it on his first visit, jjmd he cared even less for it on his second call. \ It wks a splendid city, of a hundred snd sixty thousand poptila- - tion, and bulging at the Seams with the of war. That was the trouble. To a man reared on the upper reaches of the Missouri, any place with mote than a hundred people in;it seemed overcrowded. The two men froni the other carriage Had entered the room, coming unobtrusively through a side door. They moved to the bar; not > far from where he stood. Rawls gave them a passing glance, noting the chunky beefnesS of Sherwood, his pock-marked face and unconscious of posturing; the peculiar yellow-red of Taber’s hair, hanging overling beneath his sodden fiat, held his attention briefly. The .pair looked as but of place in this room as he felt Then his survey checked at a table in the centefr of the toom. A woman sat alone, as if Waiting for someone. She was young., with generous color in her checks, and for the moment she tyas frowning at a menu, which gave Rawls an opportunity to study her unobserved. ; | She was outstanding id this gay I company which filled The Planters —as she would be anywhere. It i was not her beauty, for her nose was a shade .too big, her mouth toe generous.. But there Was a striking : quality about her which Rawls felt as clearly as the rising heat waves i above a stove in a chilly room. Her i hair Was like ripe wheat, the gold- > en graine bursting through the • heads, the sky-blue of June in her eyes. , . [ L ' ' Suddenly she looked up, and her searching gaze met and tangled > with his own and held. It was s t straightforward and direct look or ' her part, like that of a man. Ali most; it seemed to Rawls that there ! was k message, a mute appeal, ir t her eyes, as though she fought s growing unease ot apprehension. f The Planters, despite its cosmopol-. 1 itan reputation, seemed scarcely j the place for an unattended womar. at such an hour.;. i But that was none of his busit ness. Rawls reminded himself, trie t glance again roving. And when it - came to that, why didn't his own party get here? (To Be
