TO QUIET THE FLUTTERING HEART
The application of terms de
scriptive of the actions of ma
chinery, to human functions,
is at times a-
X musing, but us
S ually very ex-
f pressive. These
a" 3 t 1 terms often
mean more to
a doctor than
the terms used
by a patient
who is trying
to be "correct"
The term
"missing" used
in reference to
the action of
Dr Brsdv tlle neart bor"
rowed from the
well-known expression created
by a balky gas engine. While the
expression "missing" is about all
the doctor needs to hear, the ex
pression actually does not truly
describe what happens.
Any type of irregular heart
action may be described by the
patient as "missing." One of the
most common irregularities of
the heart action is known tech
nically as "extra-systole." This
appears to the patient as a pro
longed pause between beats,
sometimes followed by a
"thump." The term "missing" in
this instance would seem quite
appropriate. r
Actually, there is no "miss."
Rather, two contractions of the
heart occur in such manner that
one follows the other so rapidly
that the usual pause between the
beats is imperceptible. Follow
ing this a prolongel pause oc
curs until it is time for the next
regular beat. While the pause is
perceptible to the patient, the
quick "out-of-time" beat is not.
The impression the patient gets
is that he has missed a beat.
An extra-systole, (systole
means contraction of the heart)
occurs because a nervous im
pulse which does not come under
the control of the regulating
nervous mechanism, reaches the
heart muscle causing instant con
traction. This impulse may be
described as "errant," or "stray."
It is not always possible to find
the source of the "table-hopping"
nervous impulse. However, many
persons have found that extra
systoles are associated with
smoking, strong coffee and other
identifiable things. Extra-systoles
may occur in the presence of a
normal heart. In fact, they
are very often found in normal
hearts. However, the persistence
of setra-systoles, must in time,
lead to the suspicion of some de
veloping defect of the heart.
The heart normally beats
rythmically, regardless of the
rate of speed of the action. Some
times the rhythm is replaced by
irregular action which is notice
able by the patient,' and may be
associated with some degree of
breathlcssncss. The absolute
lack of regularity of heart action
is well known to all doctors by
a specific name which I need not
burden you with at this time. The
condition, not the name, is im
portant. Irregularity of the heart ac
tion is often of no great import
ance and, if temporary, may usu
ally be ignored. However, every
doctor has seen patients who fin
ally "give up," and come to the
doctor to have their dark fears
confirmed patients who for
months or years have been brood
ing silently over the irregular
action of their hearts. Most of
these people arc delighted to re
ceive the news that they have
been worrying needlessly. Most
of these irregularities are func
tional, i.e., they are not due to
heart disease as such.
Ordinary doses of quinine have
no appreciable effect upon the
heart, but they do affect the
blood vessels, causing a slight
dilation of the latter. This ac
tion may contribute to a better
flow of blood to and from the
heart, and thus permit the heart
to function more normally. Qui-

nine can restore normal rythm
of the heart action in many in
stances. You may remember that many
persons have reported to me
that by taking small doses of
quinine in advance of certain
events, such as public speeches,
writing of examinations and the
like, that they have been en
abled to get through much better
than without it. The explanation
of this may lie in the fact that
they have better circulation for
the time being which makes the
heart less susceptible to"thump
ing" one of the characteristic
symptoms which contributes to
the difficulty of the unusual or
deal. The dose I have suggested is
small perhaps only one or
two grains, taken three times a
day for a few days. This dose is
much smaller than the dose us
ually given for the conditions in
which quinine is often employed.

ility Of Land
Vital To Farmers,
Kiwanians Told
Need of a farming system that
will maintain fertility of land
was brought out by P. M.
Brandt, head of the department
of dairy Industry at Oregon State
college, in a talk to Medford
Kiwanians at Rogue Valley
Country club yesterday noon.
He spoke of the relationship
between good dairy products and
soil fertility, and said that dairy
products nave an Important con
tribution to health. Brandt point
ed to the importance of maintain
ing soil fertility if future genera
tions are to live and eat as well
as does the present generation.
Gran Ii Factor
A factor, he said, is mainte
nance of enough soil raising
grass and to feed the grass to
livestock which will put manure
back on the soil.
Discussing the public relations
of the dairy industry, Brandt
stated that the business in Ore
gon has lost a lot of public con
fidence and that bad information
has been published. He stressed,
however, that the industry con
sists of a large number of farms,
has many problems, is an in
volved industry and is bound to
have agitation.
Brandt told of changes of crops
ones 'way back in '29 look like
midgets.
This might be a good way for
some survey-mindea ofticial with
an appropriation to spend a few
thousand, and substantiate tnr
teachers' opinions.

Ways and means were dis

the community. The interior is
nearly completely sealed and the
ladies are planning laying of

couragement of seed growing
and other practices that have

the past IS years.
Citai Marktti
He mentioned the market in
California that Oregon had for
dairy products before the war,
explaining how the population
growth here helped change the
picture. Dairy employment after
the war fell off because of com
peting wages in other endeavors.
There are 50.000 fewer cows in
Oregon now than in 1940, ac
cording to Brandt and, generally
speaking there is no surplus of
grade A milk.
He predicted that families may
soon be able to buy colored oleo
margarine if they wanted and
said readjustment in the dairy
industry will take place as mar
garine takes the place of butter.
