t A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Ort., Wednesday, January 14, 1959 Preventing of All Heart Disease Said 'Not Idle Dream' By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (UPD - A noted expert on the heart believes medical knowledge and know- "ft how now have . ' advanced s o far "it has be come evident that the ulti mate goal of preventing all forms of heart disease is far '', from an idle Delo. brnnn bemg so, Dr. A. Carlton Ernstene of Cleveland was surprised and disturbed because "little attention has been paid to one fundamentally important feature of cardiologic prac tice," which is to tell the per son with any kind of heart trouble, real or imagined, the works. The medical school, it is not impressed on the student that he can help the patient by telling him all; nor is it properly impressed upon him while he is a hospital interne and resident. He has to be a practicing doctor for several years before he "fully appre ciates" what telling can do. Patient Must Adjust "Attention to details may gain yearsh of comfortable and productive life, and whether or not a person co operates to the extent requir ed usually depends on wheth er or not he understands the need for the measures advised by the doctor," Ernstene said. He pointed to angina pec toris caused by a hardening of heart arteries. The victim must adjust his "habits, ac tivities, and emotional situ ations" so as to prevent the painful attacks. But how can he, if he isn't given a clear idea of all the ways and wheres? Then there is acute myo cardial infarction, the kind of heart attack the layman means when he uses the term, the kind President Eisenhow er had. It "rarely occurs at a time convenient for the pa tient," Ernstene said. "After the pain and other symptoms have been controlled, the physician often finds that he is dealing with a person who is not only frightened and bewildered but also depressed and resentful." The thing for the doctor to do is to explain everything Forms ' TOMORROW'S Favorite Fireplace FEATURES Open hearth designs. Filtered, dust free air. Dependable 24 hour heat FOR SEVERAL, ROOMS.

But it won't mean he's not In for a long rest. Give him an estimate of how long the rest will be and when he can get back to his job. Tell all this and you often have "a remarkably changed patient." Need Salt-Free Diet In another form of heart trouble, recurrences most of ten are due to the failure of the patient to keep salt out of his diet. But when he is told what salt has to do with water retention in the body, there usually are no more re lapses. "Anxiety, insecurity, emo tional tension and fatigue of ten are responsible for symp toms that cause' the patient concern about his heart," he said in taking up heart troub les which are imagined rather than real. These people must be given "a positive explanation of the discomfort. A statement that there is no heart disease with out further elaboration leaves many questions in the pa tient's mind and seldom con vinces him of the harmless ness of his symptoms." Ernstene is a member of the editorial board of "Circula tion," technical journal of the American Heart Association, and he delivered his medical sermon therein. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Roseve J.

Preliminary Test Of Pain Killer Encouraging Washington - (1TB - The gov ernment has announcer en couraging preliminary tests of a new pain killer' 10 times stronger than morphine. Arthur S. Flemming, secre tary of Health, Education and Welfare, told a news confer ence that the drug still is in the testing stage and has not been licensed for commercial production. But he said preliminary tests show it is "less addicting and safer than morphine." He said its. real value is not yet known. Derivatives of Tar Dr. Everette L. May and Dr. Nathan B. Eddy of the National Institutes of Health, discoverers of the drug, re ported it has been used suc cessfully on more than 200 patients in clinics in Phila delphia, New York and Los Angeles. The drug, known as Nih 7519, is made from derivatives of coal tar and belongs to a new series of compounds known as benzomorphans. Flemming said the drug, discovered in 1957, has pain killing power at least 10 times that of morphine and 50 times that of codeine.

Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and Frank R. I am the only son of a widowed mother and I am concerned about her. Mother has a small apartment near me and my ramily and at 67, she goes to work every day. I feel that she is getting a bit too old for this routine. I realize that she has to keep active, but I feel that her work is too much for her. She works with much younger women and I know that it is often a struggle for her to keep up with them. On week ends she is so exhausted she doesn't want to get out of bed. Mother has a very small nett egg and could get Social Security. It would be no bur den to me to help out a bit. I would like to see her get among people socially and to enjoy herself. She is always too tired for that. Mrs. M. R. - What Frank says is true. My work is very exhausting and leaves me with little energy for anything else. But I am afraid to let go of my job. I feel that it keeps me young. My own mother had a de pressing old age because she had practically nothing to do. We all took care of her and she just wasted away from lack of activity. Basically she was in good health until her last illness. It's all very well for Frank to talk of social activities, but I can't go gallivanting around I j Stereophonic I Pnograp I Stereo I Companion I i Business and Electrical Appliance Service Bring in your minor appli ances we'll make them work like new.

R. is on the right track in her idea that activity will help her hold on to her youth fulness, but she is being a little too rigid when she sees her present exhausting job as the only buffer between her and old age. Today, there is a great deal of interest in the idea of life time planning for old age. Certainly a little more plan ning at this time on Mrs. M. R.'s part would be in order. It is evident that she will not be able to hang on indefinite ly to a job that is now strain ing her to the utmost. She should try to find ways and means of tapering off her physical activity while pre serving an active life mentally and emotionally. Once she turns her thinking toward the right goal, Mrs. M. R. may find that there are more possibilities than she now sees for meeting her needs at this time. There may be part-time work at her pres ent place of employment or in some other organization. She may be able to go into some small enterprise on her own or with other women. She should think in terms of something she can keep up as long as she enjoys reasonably good health. Mrs. M.

MYLER Washington-(UPD - A scien tific report circulating here conjures up a picture of H bombs poised in space to dive at targets on earth whenever their masters feel there ought to be a war. The report, prepared by Rand Corp. research experts for the House Space Commit tee, discusses "bombing from satellites." It says both the United States and Russia have taken note of this possibility. Peaceful Instruments All satellites lanuched so far have been peaceful instru ments for gathering scientific information. Both this coun try and the U.S.S.R. have pro grams for satellites capable of returning instruments and film or perhaps a man safely to earth. This, the Rand report says, 'implies the possibility of bombing from a satellite." It would take refined propulsion Cub Scouts Pack 8 Den 11 of Pack 8, Jackson school, met Tuesday, Jan. 6.

You can't just dump some thing out of a satellite. If you did, it would just tag along in orbit. But the idea of launching a warhead from a satellite in a long trajectory to earth is, the report says, "an entirely reasonable one." "For unmanned satellites," the report continues, "the ejection operation can be in itiated and controlled from a ground radar station in sight of the ejection point." Or, it. adds, "ejection and descent guidance could be carried out on a fully auto matic basis in the satellite at any time after receipt of a general signal from the ground to proceed to the at tack." "For sucn a bombing sys tem," the report says, "satel lite launchings could be con ducted long in advance of a war, with any desired degree of leisure in a completely peaceful environment."

Another military use of satellites according to the Rand researchers, is to mess up defenses against satellite bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles. This would be done by re leasing in space metal bal loons of various kinds. One kind would simulate ICBM nose cones and "serve as de coys to frustrate ICBM de fense systems." Others would act as decoys for military satellites. "Or,'' the reports adds, "bal loon satellites permanently in orbit could be made numer ous enough to saturate, on a long-term basis, ICBM warn ing radars." Sawdust S&H Green Stamps Medford Fuel Go.
