jrgery of Heart May Benefit Some Cases of Rheumatic Fever

p By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WE now know that rheumatic fevetr is a disease that usually strides in childhood or young adult life. Usually, there is a high terrwerature, the(joints are red ana swollen and there are some signs that the heart is affected - along with the joints. Many childreh get well from attacks of .rheumatic fever and for many years seem perfectly normal. However, it has been said of rheumatic fever that it is a disease which “licks the joints |and bites the heart.” Scar Tissue Forms \ Rheumatic fever Injures the heart by causing scar tissue to form On the valves inside the heart, particularly the one known as the mitral valve, which is most importamt for heart function. When this scarring of the valve occurs, it cannot function properly, and the heart becomes tremendously enlarged. This may ultimately cause heart failure and death, or make a permanent y of the person with rheumatic heart disease, unless treat- . ment is carried out, including heart surgery when necessary. Many methods have been devised to prevent rheumatic fever or to prewent the damage to the heart once it has occurred. of Cortisone . The swollen and inflamed joirite can now be remarkably relieved ' with the »we of cortisone. How-

I !' A ‘ Despite, his defeat in the election, Adlfci E. Stevenson is still an influential figure in political circles. Many Republicans as Well as Democrats look to him for enlightened' leadership of the opposition. For this reason a new book, “The Major Campaign. Speeches of Adlai E. Stevenson,’’ should prove of s interest to readers of both parties. Stevenson emerged from the campaign immensely popular, r Many peop\e whb dis- \ agreed with him politically, wrote him letters to express their admiration for him. Seldom has a defeated presidential candidate held such a grip oii the imagination of thfc American people. His speeches help to explain why. . ■ J—o o—L NATO Still Needed:— \\ If the North Atlantic Treaty countries maintain great strength Russia wip be influenced in the direction of peace. Secretary of State Dulles stated this belief and warned against allowing Rus-, Sian peace overtures to diminish the defense efforts of the Western allies. It would be pleasant if we could begin to disarm immediately, turn the factories which are producing planes and armament over to producing civilian goods w-hich is so sadly needed in many parts of the world. \ r \ | L But it cpuld also mean disaster? Russia nojw talks of peace but a short while ago onljr threats and abdse came from the Kremlin. Undoubtedly [the growing strength of the Westejrn powers has influenc-ed-the change. No aggressor will ever start a war it cannot hope to win. The time for disarmament may come. But it will take /more than a few friendly gestures, a few ■ speeches devoid of insult, to assure the free world that the Communists have really changed, lentil there is more to go on we must continue to build- pur strength anil soliftust our allies. — —— -A ' Q. When shquld announcements be sent of a marriage that has bden kept secret for several weeks or months? A. Since a secret marriage is not a prescribe! affair, there is no definite time for mailing an- , nouncemeilts. It is entirely optional. Q. Shoujld the napkin be held above the edge of the table when ” unfolding it? \ * • A. No; the napkin should be unfolded on the lap.

ever, this drug seems to have little effect in preventing damage to the heurt, or in clearing up heart damage. Recently, a large group of patients with severe scarring of the valye wette operated on in order to relieve the heart damage. Ln this operation, the chest is opened and the scars of the valve ate very carefully cut, permitting more norinal function of the heart. Not Permanent Cure Many persons who were seriously short of breath, coughed up blood and suffered from actual heart failure, have been helped by this operation. Though not a permanent cure, it often helps to prolong the person’s life and prevents some of the other symptoms of rheumatic heart disease from occurring. Newer methods of heart surgery have thus helped to remove rheumatic heart disease from the list of diseases without any hope of benefit. \ „ QUESTION AND ANSWER B. R : I have an enlarged prostate. Can it be helped by any means other than surgery? ; Answer: Sometimes massage and medical treatment will help prostate gland enlargement. If the enlargement is due to an infection, the injection of penicillin i and other antibiotie drugs into the gland sometimes is of help in • reducing the size.

CHAPTER FORTY AS s DEREK drove across the bridge into West Palm Beach, then took Route one north, Don leaned forward and said in a low voice to Carol, “I thought you told me Mrs. Felton was in Miami,” Carol felt\ner face grow hot. "I thought she might be.” , ;. v \ "You didn’t think anything of the sort." he said roughly. "Did she tell you not to tell me where she was?” , ' . . She shook her head. “i haven’t spoken to het.” He lowered his voice and went on, "But he knew. What sort of place .is this lovers’ tryst of theirs ?’.’ Derek swerved round a: truck, then half-turned\ towards them. •‘What are you two chattering about?” “Mr.* Haskin was asking me what sort of place Drift Wood Inn is,” Carol said aloud. As though glad of the excuse to talk of something impersonal, Derek launched into an enthusiastic description. The hotel consisted of four rustic dwellings built entirely out of driftwood right on the beach. \ "A magazine article recently,, described it aS a ‘carnival:pt sea fragments and a castle of discarded used parts,’ ” he said, laughing. “The owner, as cattle rancher named Waldo Sexton, built a few shacks put of driftwood as a beach house for his family. When tourists began cdming asking for rooms, he addpd to it end the idea for an unconventional hotel was born. No oiie bothers to dress up, most oi the meals are served barbecue style out in the courtyard find guests are speeded on their way by the enthusiastic clanging of numerous ships' bells.” .5 “It sounds fun,” \Carol murbut somehow she couldn’t picture Thelma Felton in that setting. They drove through Fort Pierce, a center^\Derek told them, for deep-sea fishing, and soon they had turned off the main highway, were humping along an uneven road that went down to the shore. Some guests must have been leaving just as they turned into Driftwood; ships’ bells were clanging madly, people *were rushing around- shouting, and it looked like sheer pandemonium. They didn’t • see Thelma, but Ann-Winnie, the talented young manager’s sister, told them her room was on the front facing the sea. They climbed a rustic twisting v stairway that looked as though it''might collapse under them, knocked on a door studded with nails and bolts, and heard Thelma’s cool Voice call, “Come in.” \ ’y Doh opened the door: they walked in. And there was a pause. Carol thought afterwards it was the longest pause \ she had ever knovlm. A pause while three of then?, looked at Thelma and she stared back at, them. Her face was not so much surprised as shocked, as though she couldn’t cx'edit What she saw. And Carol saw again in her wide light-blue eyes a definite fear as she looked at Dpn. The room was dim and cool: the, sunshine behind Thelma flooded the balcony. It fell about her where she stood near the doorway, lighting her blonde hair,

showing up her slim, lovely silouette in the attractive beach dress. Her body looked young and even girlish, but her face didn't look young in those moments, it looked old, almost haggard. “Why Don— Don Haskin. What a surprise! What are you doing here?” ane asked finally. She was getting control of herself quickly, and Carol admired her for that. She went on hurriedly, But how amazing, to see you over here.” : “You wouldn’t have found it so amazing had you let me knowwhere to get in touch with you,” he said bluntly. “But—but why should I?” Her hands made a little fluttering gesture. “I’m on holiday: 1 wanted to get away from all business worMy doctor’s orders. I told you wiat before I left.” “And I told you, you couldn’t get away from business just when we had this. big, deal coming up. I told you I’d have to knpw where you were every minute of the time you were away. What do you think you’re doing?” It wasn't the suave Mr. Donald Haskin, managing director of Felton’s speakong: this was a ruthless, angry mama dangerous man. Carol wasn’t surprised that Thelma's face whitened, but she said coldly. "Please, Mr. Haskin, I can understand that if important business has cropped up in my absence you would want to gel in touch with me and naturally you’ve had a tiring time traveling all the way here. 1 must, of course, make allowances, but please remember I own Felton’s.” “Like nothing you do,” he said furiously, and there was another long, ghastly pause. Thelma turned towards the others. “You tnust forgive Mr. Haskin. I’m sure he feels so closely associated with Felton’s that he almost w believes he owns it! And 1 do know he has the interests of Felton’s at heart . . So nice of you to come, Derek; really nicg. Let’s all pyt On our bathing shits arid go tor*a swim before lunch, shall we? Lunches are delightfully informal here, and you can wear bathing suits or anything informal. You men can change in the cloakrootins. Carol and I Will change in nere." She made a half-playful motion as though to shoo the men out, and again Caro) admired the why she was attempting to save what had threatened to be a disaster. Derek tutned to go,-but Don didn’t move. “I’m not interested in swimming. want to talk business with you now, Mrs.' Felton.” lie still sounded angry, but he had calmed down considerably. i*y Her eyes flashed again. “But I don’t want to talk business.” she said coldly. “Later, after lunch, if our guests will excuse us, wi can get into a business huddle. Later,” she emphasized it “Now run along, boys. I’m sure a dip In the breakers will do us all good. What weather! Too good to remain inside talking anyhow." She smiled the men out of the room almost gaily, but once the door was shut, and Carol and she were alone, he? smile faded- Her face looked taut and white, and. again Carol saw that look of fear in her eyes. “Well, really... Mr. Haskin can be a little overbearing, can’t he?

He Is so wrapped up in the business, 1 try to make allowances tor him. But. as 1 said, 1 don t want to talk business while I’m on holiday. It can become such a core. You undress tn nere.

But I suppose when Derek found that Mr. Haskin insisted on coming along, he decided to make up a foursome?” She waited. “That was it, wasn’t it ?” Carol hesitated. “Derek had asked me to.cbme, before. He thought you might like to, see me, Mrs. Feltoh.” Thelma didn’t reply to that, but When she emerged in a one-piece white lastex suit, asking'Caroll to fasten a button at the, side, she murmured, “Has Derek been looking after you, then ? Showing you around ( and all that?” Carol did up the button.\ |”He’s been very kind, Mrs. Felton." Thelma turned and looked at herself in the mirror. She spoke with ner back to Carol. “Most men are' kind—to a girl as pretty as you arc, Carol. But don’t be misled by it, my dear. I think I should tell you for your own protection, though this is in strict Confidence, that there’s a definite understanding, between Derek and myself. We {lari to be married very shortly. Derek hasn’t told you?" And without waiting for a reply, sho went swiftly on: "And now we'd better go down and join the men. Poor Derek’s been so busy all week. He’s been longing to get up here." When they got down to the beach, Derek was already ,in the water, but Don was still wearing the clothes he in. Thelma ignored him and ran across the, beach to join Derek. Carol had started after her uhhen Doh called her back. . 11 “Thelma must be pretty confident she’s going to marry Appleton the way she’s behaving. She mhst be pretty confident of something i else, too, or she wouldn’t have come down here." He looked not so much angry as puzzled. [ He paused and asked, “Do you know a man named Maxie Rosenthal?” ”1 doubt if anyone could live a day iri Palm Beach without hearing of Maxie Rosenthal. I heard,” she pauspd, “Mrs. Felton used to know him." \ “Has- he seeri her this time ?” “I wouldn't know.” s , “Or you wouldn’t tell me,” he said roughly. She smiled slightly. ‘‘l gather I’m not going to buy for Model Gowns when 1 get back. But I don’t think I could buy anything Wainwright’s customers would like. Has the deal gone through?” “It will ~ as soon as she signs those papers after lunch," he said. She said slowly; “But I thought you said upstairs' jtfst now that Mrs. Felton ’didn’t own Felton’s. You did say that?” His remark had been \puzzling her ever since he had made it. “I was annoyed with her. She was behaving like a fool,” he said shortly. “1 think Til go and get a drink,” he added, and he turned in off the verandah. >. (To Ce Continued)
