To Weak Heart By*DR. JAMES W. BARTON <\/EARS ago what was known as the Nauheim Bath and Schott System of Exercise was the treatment for a weak muscular heart. The patient raised his arm, leg, hand or foot against the resistance of the hand or hands of the physician or nurse who could thus regulate the amount of work or exercise the patient was allowed to do. During the last ferr yearrs there has been a tendency among physicians, including heart specialists, to give these patients with a weak muscular heart, no exercise whatever, believing that as men and women grow older it is rest the heart needs, not more work. That the heart needs rest after Dr. Birtwi illness of any kind and needs four to six weeks absolute bed rest after a heart attack is admitted. That a weak heart should not be given any exercise is considered unwise by magy physicians who point out that certain kinds of exercise can "aid" the heart without causing too much heart activity. It might be well, therefore, to recall the suggestions of Dr. Josef B. Nylin, Philadelphia, in Mfedical Record, who points out the exercises that aid the heart 1. Massage, which presses the blood out of the veins and causes the little blood vessels carrying blood from veins to arteries to open more widely and let more blood move to and from the part being massaged. 2. Passive movements (where the nurs£ moves the arms and legs and thus exercises the muscles), which cause the heart to send more "blood to the parts. This "sucks" the blood from the part exercised and sends it back to the heart. 3. Breathing exercises which increase the flow of used blood on the right side of heart to the left side, from whence it goes to lungs to be purified and to all parts of the body. Now there is a great difference between the amount of work the heart must do when the patient takes exercise such as walking or games, and the amount done when the muscles are massaged or given "passive" movements, and the simple breathing exercises. But the heart does get ekercise by these methods. How Allerg^ ^ Affects Stuttering * T WAS a member of a group of stu- * dents whose object was the acquiring of scholarships and medals in competition with groups from other schools. We remained for an hour every afternoon after school. When the results were announced a member of our group stood first in the entire city yet she had never answered a question in class nor had she ever been asked to read. This was because she stammered. We were all proud of her and yet felt sorry because we thought that she had something wrong with her tongue or her throat and would never be able to teach. It is now known that stammering is not due to any defect of the tongue or throat but is due to nervousness or self consciousness. Drs. A. M. Kennedy and O. A. Williams, Cardiff, Wales, state that this tendency to nervousness and self-consciousness appears to be a factor in allergy also. These physicians investigated 100 stuttering children. In all cases except one, positive evidence of allergy was found in the personal or family history, 52 had a personal history and 48 of these also had a family history. Forty-eight had no personal history of allergy, but all but one gave a family history. In a group of 1,000 school children who did not stutter, only about 2 per cent had a personal history of stuttering and a family history of only 9 per cent. The thought is that in some individuals a portion of the nervous system can be so influenced that the blood vessel walls can be distended and allow swelling containing water to form and cause allergic symptoms-- hives, head colds, hay fever. The blood vessel system, because H is under the control of the nervous system, may be influenced by tear, anxiety, anger and other emotions. * • • • QUESTION BOX Q.--Is sinus trouble curable?

V • • • „ *- Si* ivl' v r ^ ,r Cbfiruft -'/v- . • Washington, August 27--Genuinely alarmed about the indifference of the average citizen to international and domestic problems, except as these measures directly affect their everyday lives, the top-notchers among government policy-makers are adopting a number of radical plans, calculated to awaken the nation from its lethargy. Much of the trouble from non-co-operation has been traced to the popular theory, instilled in every school child and dramatized by office-seekers, that this is the Land of Abundance. The President is now leading the procession of warninggivers that "the country must awaken.". To this end, specialists have been called into government service to build up morale of the public and in the military forces. A number of plans, some of which are dictated by stern necessity, have been put into operation primarily for their psychological effect. This week the Federal Reserve Board's regulations for the control of installment buying were distributed. It will require some weeks before the buying public actually comprehends what it means to their home affairs. The restrictions on credit will hit millions of persons who have been accustomed by making a small deposit for essential merchandise or for little luxuries. Heavy taxes on many commodities, already reached by credit curtailment, will boost prices and serve as a sales deterrent. Hi addition, burdensome tax levies on the income of the citizen will reduce available cash for wanted items. In theory, these measures are proposed to check inflation and divert materials used in civilian goods to defense production. With all the #9fp about the influence of the ewvsat: war on this country's safety and future confusing the public aM, it has been found that the engendered skepticism leaves the people cold to the gran realities. It is hoped that the exasperation which will follow being deiRrtVed of customary articles will provoke serious thought on the need of "all-out" defense co-operation. A rough idea of this psychological drive may be gleaned from the studied comment of R. R. Brodks, a labor consultant at the Office of Production Management, in a speech a few days ago in Canada in which he said significantly, "This is a war not only of metals but of morale. As usual in human affairs, things present are never missed until they are absent. As laymen, we have little conception of the manner in which these essential materials permeate the capillaries of our economic organism--until they are denied to' recommended by the Treasury Department, there will be a grand total of 22,000,000 individual income-tax returns filed in 1942. Congress is trying to complete the revenue bill before October 11, The morale question about draftees and their lack of proper military equipment for training purposes continues to plague officialdom. The Army is denounced for its material shortages. In turn, the "brass-hats' protest the diversion of these essential supplies to the British and now the Russians. Letters from indignant relatives of inducted men harass the legislators who worry easily over their political future. Parents protest because their sons are required to do menial camp duties instead of going immediately into the newer branches of service, like the Air Corps or the Armored Force.

These proposals will be threshed out in the executive sessions of the Senate Finance Committee during the next fortnight. The committee devoted several weeks to hearings in which hundreds of witnesses protested the House tax bill. In anticipation of aiding the newcomers to the ranks of Uncle Sam's contributors, the Treasury Department has prepared a simple return form intended to apply primarily to persons with incomes- from wages, salaries, and interest. A great majority of small incomes are of these types. The more complicated forms would be necessary for a small business man* for instance, when he must list, for deduction purposes* costs of materials, inventories, depreciation, and other expense items. If the tax touches the small income groups, as while, the War Department has difficulty in selling the public an explanation on their "task forces," a selfcontained and self-supporting outfit of trained soldiers, which would have *ith it certain air units, anti-aircraft and harbor-defense artillery, engineer, medical, quartermaster, and signal units.' It is made clear that these efficient units are ready for service in outposts, like Alaska and Iceland. The Army is indignant that it is sometimes construed as a nucleus of another A* £. F. 8ame Condition There is no very great difference between severe head catarrh, sinusitis, closed eustachian tubes, or catarrhal deafness. In essence, all of these are merely labels for one and the same condition--a catarrhal inflammatory process which occurs in one area or the other of the facial and head structures, according to Phil M. Lovell, M. D. Prevents Steel Becoming Brittle Manganese prevents steel from becoming brittle but it also increases the milk mother rats have available to nourish their babies. Lack of manganese in the bones of chickens results in a bone disease commonly known as "slipped tendon." These are only a few of the findings made by University of California investigators with the aid of radioactive "tagged" manganese atoms.
