Repeated "Fainting Attacks" Call for Diagnosis by Doctor

|-By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.|| I ANY of us have known people * had repeated “fdintfrig” 1 cks or spells of unconscious- ’ >. Usually it is not too easry to '* at a glance the exact cause ne of these attacks, especially 1 e don't knoxy a lot abouithe ; im. ' ■ ■ • ’ f the many causes of such* at<s, one of the most common is epsy. An observer of an epi,ic attack usually notices that , victim loses consciousiiess rapidly and screams before the attack. Then his body becomes rigid and there is a twitching of a’ |- the muscles throughout the bddy Afterwards he is. drowsy a: id does not kndw where he Is. Many Types However, there are many dlffr rent types of epilepsy. One type, kiown as psychomotor 'epilepsy, di >es not produce this typical attack at all. The person just dots 01 says things that are ipappro--p' iate to his normal actions. * Another common cause for unconsciousness is hysteriif. To t mipst people “hysterical” means Streaming and weeping, put ac-r . it Sally an hysterical aitaick cjan t tike various forms besides this. Tne disorder is due to some nervoi|s difficultly, and many times Presents the same symptoms' as epilepsy.; 1 However, hysterical attacks usually last longer than epilepsy, aiid usually follow some jorm of emotional upset. They are. found miore often in women and are more apt to occur during their menstrual period. Need Psychiatric Help An interesting point to notice jt ir, hysteria is that even though tijese people fall, they very seldom injure themselves. Usually those suffering from this type of attack are in need of psychiatric help.

This disturbs the; two political opponents who introduced, the amendment. V Need it distfirh anyone else? Ohio has not Suffered under Lausche. and woters have continued to elect him, While generally choosing Republican legislatures. Why should he not be governor terms or ten as long as he makes good?

Sometimes when a person Imagines he is in danger, as before an operation—even a minor dhe—the blood vessels throughout the body swell Up br expand. When tljls j happens, the blood tends to -pdbl in the vessels and its return to the heart is delayed. This in tiirfr causes a fall in the blood pressure and a shortage, of blood in the brain. • The person may then fall to the floor unconscious. Usually I the change of position theh redistrlb- . utes the bldpd and the person regains consciousness. i Fast Breathing Sometimes fear and anger cause certain people to breathe fast and excessively,. This can cause a change" in the amount of dissolved in the blood and th© person may have a fainting attack. \ in all these cases the physician first of all has -the problem of making a diagnosis of the correct cause of the fainting. An instrument known as the electroencephalograph, which measures the brain waves, i» Usually very accurate in determining whether .epilepsy Is the cause. ; Usually a careful examination enables a physician to make the diagnosis so treatment can be often started to prevent attacks or make them less frequent.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR \ I NELL began to reel sonie impa- < lienee —it was quite a bit past four c and Tony had not come. They t would have that much less time up at the old house. He had been t late in meeting her on two afternoons but both times he had had trouble starting his car— and he ! had not been as late as this! 1 Suddenly, her impatience was a ] terrible fear, clutching at her throat. Maybe he was not going 1 to come! Her knees went limp; 1 Bhe dropped down on a hummock of grass. And just as the fear I caught at her Tony's car appeared on the bridge. She sprang to her feet. ‘‘Why, see who’s here!" he called out as he \ stopped his. car. “By j any chance are you waiting for someone ?” She got In the car before she answered. "Just a poor gal thumbing her way!” She\ began to laugh, i a little hysterically, put her face against his sleeve to smother it. “Oh, Tony!” "You didn’t think I wasn’t coming, did you? A row ajt home—and it held me up. I’ve got some wine—we’ll make ttyis a real party, sweet. Say, you’re 'not crying, are you?” "No, just laughi|ng.” “At myself," she might have added. ' She cuddled up to him With a happy Sigh. “I’ve some chicken sandwiches.” Then she was sorry she had said it, for if sounded juvenile. But Tony said, "We’ll set it all out in style, my girL” He had Turned into the hill road. He stopped the car where he usually did to kiss her. He kissed her. Everything—oh, everything was all right. j ‘‘What was the row about, Tony?" she asked as they went on. He grinned down at her. “Me running around with a girl!” fiell sat straight in utter, astonishment. “What’s wrong about me?” 1 Tony’s grin vanished. “She’s got a girl all picked out for me, nice French-Canuck girl, lives a few from us. I She’d like to see me get a job at the mills, and settle down where she could keep her thumb on me!” Irritation roughened his voice. , ' "Parents are simply pests!” cried Nell with sipirit. My father’d put me in a strait jackejt if he knew where to find one!" “Os course what my mother’s afraid of is that Til Ijght out any day—which is just what I’m going to do!” It was the opportunity to tell him she would go with him- But they were turning into the dniveWay of the old house and, too, at that moment !a motorcycle roared up behind them, went on along the road. “Who was that?” asked Tony with some sharpness. Nell laughed. Long ago she had lost her first nervousness at trespassing. ‘That new minister in Sweethome—he rides all around on that awful old motorcycle*’* \ “Do you think he recognized you?-. Tt ’ J “He’s only seen me once, that I know of. Anyway, what if he did?” V. , ■ . “We’ll be going away from here - very soon,” she thought I His irritation seemed to stiy with him even after they were in ■ the house. He did not pull her at once into his arms as he usually did. He xnoyed around the room . ’ \ ■. ■ ' :

She 1 sipped at hers, not Hiking the sourish taste but Tony emptied his Ur a gulp, filled it again, f He had forgotten the style he had planned. "Tony, this girl—is she awfully pretty!?” I' “Whidh girl? 0h...• He laughed, though it did not have a pleasant sound, “Got a shape like this.” He moved his hands in a gesture that suggested a barreL "A cast ln ! one eye. Crooked teeth.” He had said, "Which girl..,” Nell askqd, a sudden small chjU in her heart, “Are there other girls, Tony, who —you like a lot?" He gaVe her a quick sharp glance oVer his uplifted glass. “Wlio'4 b^en. telling you things?’* Then\ he .grinned. "Sure, dozen* of them, ill fall for them, soon as I lay my eyes on them. But none of them are you, baby. Just rp» member that!” She woifid —oh, she would. I ‘,‘Toriy, I’m going to sing a solo in church; a week from Sunday—wiU you eome to hear me?” Tony ipughed\ again. "ThaVd top the wjhole works! Me, sitting in yotjr Church! 1 thought you told me you were finished with all that pap ? Same as I am.”

The word shocked her a little. She had only told fiUn that she was through with sitting tn a hard pew for fin hour, listening to old Doctor Stacy's singsong voice. And, having made that declaration to her father, she had had to stand by it. But,* the rare times she thought « religion, she had not thought of it as “pap.” She answered with some spirit. "It’s a special service and they needed' me. My voice, I mean. I really can sing! You might sit there long enough to listenTo me. Fm not cross-eyed or fat or.. .“ “You’rei] ..Tony put down his 1 glass, took her roughly into his ' arms.

Then, to her horror and shame, she burst into I tears. j.. t “Why, kid!” Tony spoke gent- • ly, \ pulled her head against his t shoulder, roughed her hair. “Don’t I cry about tt!

Then I'o go to you wherever you are!” Tony dropped her hands His eyes fell from hers. “What if you find out I’m not worth Waiting for?" . “As if Td ever think of that!

And he has never missed any of the church suppers. He chinks it is his duty as one of the deacons to go to them!” "When • Willie misses a duty, something pretty serious is afoot.” Though Deborah did not say that to Susan; she xlid not want to affirm Susan’s worry, which she herself really had started. “Can’t Nell take something to him? You said the other day she was not going to the church thing." Susan shook her head. “Nell—might annoy him. Anyway, she isn't home." “And you look so pretty, Susan,” said Deborah, regretfully, as Susan turned to the door. It was business at the plant, no doubt, that had Willie down—and what could anyone do when he refused to see it an antiquated set-up, probably worth no more now than the ground on which it stood. She put an apron on over the new dress to lay out some supper for Rom. She had not seen him since the middle of the morning when she had persuaded him to drink some coffee. But she told herself that walking in this clean sweet air, even to the point of exhaustion, was the best thing he could do. just how. She was putting his food on the table, cold ham, a green salad, a pitcher of milk, when he came in. She had to look quickly away from the haggardness of hi* face. 'Tm going to a church dinner, Rom-—I didn't think you’d be interested in it so I’ve fixed a little something for y0u...” ? ' He frowned down at the food. "You should not have gone to U» trouble."

“No trounxe at au, u you ear it! Now sit down.” She untied her apronHe sat down but he dropped his head into his hands. She doubted that he was aware ot ner in the room, hanging her apron away, putting on the new hat, taking a last quick survey of herself in the square Qt mirror that hung over, a chest. She went out ot the dodr quietly, without a goodbye. I ’ Clare greeted her excitedly. “Deb, what a stunning dress! And look at me in this old thing, But what’s the use of my caring what I wear ? Will you do the zipper for me, darling? Poor Fred always has an awful time with it." Deborah fastened the zipper. Fred came out to help Clare up into the seat of the car: He shook hands with Deborah: “tilad to see you.” Though well past forty he still had in his manner something ot the shyness, the awkwardness Deborah remembered — the long thin wrists, too. > r In the car Clare gave a little giggle. “It’s just like old times, Deb, the two of us going tg something together!" , “Not much like,” thought Deborah. Bui, she was touched by Clare's loyalty to their old friendship—a little ashamed that she could summon back so little of its warmth. • “Look at the cars!” cried Clare as they neared the church. "Park here, Deb—l can walk from here. Oh, hello, Agnes!” Agnes Peely was pausing in the walk beside the car. "Can I help you, (Mare?” > "I'm managing—l sort 'of edge myself off. There! You know Deborah Brent —you must remember her...” ■ ' ~ i ' "I—sort of do,” Agneb Peely’s, hand fluttered out in Deborah’s direction. “Welcome to Sweethome!" , ! 'Thanks. 1 remember you—you recited pieces in school and you bad long curls and always wore a big bow of ribbon on top of your head.” “Imagine your remembering my •illy hairribbona! I think that is sweet of you, Mrs. Brent. It makes me. feel as if—” Agnes Peely took a little breath and some pink came into her cheeks—“as If we were good friends!

They went on, the. three of them, toward the chprcfl, Deborah between Clare and Agnes Peely. “Forward into battle,” she thought smothering a zany impulse to sing the words. As they reached the church basement where the supper was , spread, tt seemed no forty years had passed since Deb had come here. On her appearance, a sudden silence fell on the room, eyes ckme to her, sharpening with lively curiosity. Clare was panting a little from the effort of walking her bulk up the path to the church so it was Agnes Peely who said, brightly, a little loudly, "You dll remember Deborah* Brent! Isn’t it nice to have tier back here with us?” There were murmurs of greet* . ing from the women nearest te them, others smiled. But there was no warmth ... Then a younger’ woman came up to Deborah, her hand outstretched. “I’m Walt Purdy’s wife —your neighbor. I was sorry you were not at home the other afternoon when I called.” Deborah was quite certain that the distinctness with which she said this was to tell the women within hearing that she had called. Deborah said, "Thanks the flowers you left" Julia White came up to her. “Hello, Deborah! Like old times, isn’t it?” Though her eyes belied the friendliness her words suggested. Clare had got her breath. “That’s just what I said to Deborah, coming over! That it was like old times!” ' "Though I guess anything like this must seem awfully dull to you, after..." Mrs. Higgins interrupted Julia. "I'm Hattie Higgins—l was .Hattie Ballin before I married Tlam. Maybe you don’t remember my' folks—they lived in the house on River Road that burned down. Someone said Will isn’t coming. Or Susan. I don’t know of a per we’ve had when they haven’t been here!” "He was delayed at th« offtee,” said Deborah. “But Susan.. "Something .came up which she ' had to do,” (To Be Continued). '
