MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORESOK MONDAY. MAY 14. 11(2 rio Modical Roundup by amenta coniulunt la MMIrlae Miyo clinic Bieerttw Frntetior ef MeeUetae Mijo CUnu (lllUr aa Trlkwu Sratlcale. 1142) groat Advance la Surserr I recently hid met in artstlng experience in Hous on, Texas, whert I spoke. Etch morn- inf, t would go to the big Methodist hot p i Ul with Chief of Sur gical Staff, Dr. H. J. Eh lert. There I would m k rounds with inr either Dr. Ml hiel De Btkey or Dr. Den on Cooley, two ible jurgeom, who are making hiitory by iperaUng on the diseased ar teries of hundreds of people who eome to see them from ill over America and Europe. I watched Dr. DeBakey re move a man's whole thoracic lOrU, the big artery, as thick is a thumb, which cornea out of the top of the heart and runs down through the chest s far as the midriff. He re moved this particular artery because it had a big aneurysm in it a blow-out such as can form on an automobile tire. In the old days, all that doctors and the unhappy pa tient could do was to wait until the aneurysm ruptured, and the man died. While De Bakey waa removing the dis eased aorta, and substituting a tube made of Dacren, the patient was being kept alive with the help of a pump which took the place of his neart. As I made rounds with the two great surgeons, I taw dozens of older people who had had aneurysms cut out, or had had an obstruction re moved from an artery which normally carries blood to the brain, or had had an obstruct ion removed from one of the arteries that supplies a leg. As a result of the improved blood supply, to the brain, many persons regained their health after a series of strange little strokes. At a result of an improved blood supply to a kidney, many a person who has had a big high Blood pres. aure hat greatly improved (not all have this type of trou ble); and, as a result of throw ing much more blood into leg, many a man is walking comfortably again, and is no longer faced by the danger of losing some toes or a leg. As I made rounds in the Children's Hospital with Dr. Cooley, I found dozens of lit- tit children and even new born Infants who had come Into this 'world with a mal formed heart. Many were what is called "blue babies' because much of the blood was not being sent, as should normally be a a n t, throuih the lungs where combines with the oxygen in the air and turns red. Until a few years ago, hun dreds of thousands of these children had no chance to live or to live with any comfort. Today, most of them are being cured. I saw dozens of people who had managed to live into adult life with a malformed heart, but when they were about at the end of their rope thev had to be operated on Often, then, the surgeon had to close a hole between the two main cavities of the heart a hole that should not have been there. With a auecessful operation, the per son was well, A number of new technics have been worked out which enable the heart specialist of today to say exactly what is wrong with a malformed heart, and can say what the urgeon will have to do when he operates, lubttance Iniaeted I watched Dr. Cooley mane an arteriogram (x-ray picture of arteries) by injecting a sub stance into an artery which made every detail of It and It branches visible in a pic ture. I also saw men making a study of the circulation of the blood running through the heart. This new technic should prove to be very aluable if it can take all of the guess work out of estimating the blood-carrying capacity of the "coronary" or main arteries of the heart the ones that plug up in the cases of bad "heart attacks." I came away from Houston with a heart full of gratitude that, today, more and more surgeons with great courage, great akill and great physical stamina are working on the technics of performing these wonderful operations. I am glad t h a t, , today, in every big medical center, surgeons are doing this type of work, Colitis is a disturbing dis ease and, actually, a confus ing term. Dr. Alvarez an swers your questions in his booklet "Colitis." To obtain it, tend 25 cents and a stamp ed, self-addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Wal ter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, The Regitter and Tribune Syndicate, Box 957, D e a Moines 4, Iowa. Bacon Notes Drop In Home Book Use A drop in the number of books in home use during April compared to the previ ous April was noted by Omar Bacon, librarian oi me run lle Library of Medford and Jackson County, at Friday's library board meeting. Although the overall totals. including branch libraries show a slight increase of 4.47 per cent, the percentage of change in the Medford library is a drop of 1.36 per cent. A total of 17,167 books were in home use in April, compared to 17,405 the previous April, Bacon said. Our staff hat reached a plateau. They lust can't do any more. They are so busy with routine tasks and other work which has to be done they don't have time to help people find books. If people can't find the books they want, they often leave the H brary without checking any out. Bacon said. Last month the library sys tem had 535 new registra tions, Bacon noted. Since many families have one card per family this represents more new people using the library than the figures indt cate, Bacon said. Bacon also noted that dur ing April more books were brought back from the branchet than sent out. ' Succoia Atturcd Great Riches Predicted for Smith After 'Tiger in Senate' Denounced Br DICK WEST Washington UPt A friend and colleague of mine in the newspaper trade has written a book wnicn I predict will bring him great richea. The offl e i a 1 p u b 1 1 cation- date is stui two weeks away, and al ready the book haa been de nounced. A de nouncement of a book , hat long been recognized at a sure-fire sales stimulant, but few authors are fortunate enough to have their workt castigated even before they are formally published. I therefore offer congratu lation! to A. Robert Smith, correspondent for several Oregon newspapers, who has put together a biography of Sen. Wayne Morse titled "The Tiger in the Senate." Smith's book was pounced on by no less than the Tiger himself, who rose on the floor of the Senate this week to complain that it contained un truths, half-trutha and out-of-context distortions. I dont suppose that Smith, who values his reputation at a reporter, particularly relish ed that sort of comment. In reply to the Morse blast, he said the book, while "not without criticism," was non partisan and gave the senator "far more credit for valuable public service than any of his political enemies will ever grant him." can understand why Smith, at a journalist, would not like to have his objectlv- Greyhound Driver Gets Safety Certificate . Theodore E. Jandrew, 1332 Fortune dr., Medford, was. pre sented a safety award certifi cate, a new shoulder, insignia and a ruby ring for his record of safe driving with Grey hound Bus lines for a million milea in 15 years. Since Jandrew Joined the Greyhound . Lines, he has never been involved In a pre ventable accident, according to Stan A. Ossman, director of safety for the Greyhound Lines' 11-state western di vision. ALLERGIC QUEEN Spokane - IU7D -"The queen of Spokane's Lilac Festival, Louise Henry, 17, is glad that the bouquet of lilacs she will carry when she rides her float next Saturday will be Imita tion. The young queen it al lergic to lilacs. ity questioned. But as an au thor, he it to be envied. Many authors are unable to get de nounced at all. At evidence of this, I can cite my own experience last fall when the literary world was enriched by a book of mine, the title of which has been carefully concealed from all but a few close friends. I went around to just about everybody I knew trying to get them to denounce it, but to no avail. "This is the most Innocuous book since "The Five Little Peppers'," one of them told me. "I'd look pretty silly de nouncing it." "Couldn't you just suggest that it be kept out of the hands of Camp Fire girlt or something?" I begged. "I doubt you could get thlt book banned from a Tibetan monastery," he replied. I finally persuaded ' my wife to Issue a statement say ing the book wss unsuitable for children under nine months old. But it received no circulation other than the copies we left in mailboxes around the neighborhood. Now along comes Bob Smith and, entirely without solicita tion, has his book denounced by a tenator. Some guyt get all the breaks. (ReeuelleeiO SAVARD FOR SHERIFF X Proven Administrative Ability i. ol. Ast. ky SsTjre fef Sheriff Cerent., Alt Alias. Chm til I. SMI Re.
