Valves Can't Be Ground.

As it Is unlikely that anybody will
remember. I repeat that about one
third Of all cases of vafvular leakage
are due to endocarditis inflammation
of the lining of the heart) from in
vasion of the heart lining by germs
which have entered the system
through the tonsils, and quite COM
monty the endocarditis, which occur
red as a complication or sequel Of
tonsillitis has not been recognized
until the damaged valves begin to
leak
In any attack Of acute tonsillitis,
acute multiple arthritis Gnfiamma- :
tory rheumatism}, severe sore throat
or acute chorea est. Vitus' dance) a
mild endocarditis may be unrecog-
nized unless the physician regularly
can't very well keep watch of a patti
ent's heart if the patient is not
deemed sick enough to be under med
ical attendance. Think how many
cases of sore throat and similar in
fections are never attended by ply
sician, or brought to the Doctors at
tention just once or twice if the con-
dition seems dangerous, and you will
begin to see how yalvular leakage
happens.
Of course a doctor can't prevent
germs from travelling from a septic
focus or indus in the throat to the
lining of the heart, if the germs
happen to have a specialized affinity
for endothelial tissues such as those
which line the heart and the joints.
But he can certainly diminish the
likelihood of such a complication If
the patient is under his s/control, by
providing for physiological rest dur
ing the danger period. And even
though he cannot absolutely prevent
the occurrence of endocarditis, il he
recognizes the condition when it
occurs and treats and advises the pa
tient accordingly, he can unQuestion-
ably diminish if not prevent the like
lihood of serious damage to the heart
valves by the Inflammation.

Ny Neighbor Saws:

II you have a waxed finish
on the living room floor and
wish to clean 1t, put a few
drops of crude oil on a soft dry
cloth and give the surface a
light polishing after having
busted it well with a dry cloth.
To remove the cloudiness
which comes over highly pol
ished furniture, wash it with a
sponge and 'tepid water, and
Wrung out of cold water. A
dry chamois streaks the sur
face and does not remove the
blur.
When you pour water off
boiled potatoes, save it and use
it instead of water or milk for
your bread, sponge or coffee
cake. If the water is salted,
you will require a little less
salt when mixing dough.
To keep the stove clean, rub
off all grease with newspaper
while the stove is still hot. When
the stove needs polishing, use
a paint brush and thus avoid
getting your hands soiled. You
can also reach the small crew
ices more readily with the
brush.
You frequently come across
patterns of crochet or embroid-
cry illustrated in newspapers
and periodicals which you wish
to copy, but which you cannot
on account of the small size.
You will find that by using a
reading or magnifying glass
you can readily copy the
stitches.
Silver spoons and forks which

planned before. fS brought about by
distortion or roughening Of the mem.
brane which constitutes the valve,
and this Is practically always the
consequence of endocarditis. Acute
endocarditis, even of a severe degree
often occurs without leaving any per-
manent damage to the valves.
I promised to tell no symptoms Of
endocarditis or of valvular leakage.
That's the peculiar thing about most
cases of endocarditis which do leave
some damage to the valVes-when the
endocarditis occurs the ordinary OBJ
server and the patient himself would
never realize it-only the doctor can
tell, and he can tell only when he
has the opportunity to watch the
progress of the illness and examine
the heart regularly. There are symp-
toms, all right, but, as L say, the pa
tient and his friends would scarcely
ascribe the symptoms to the heart.
It would be unfair to say that ton
sillitis, severe sore throat, chorea and
acute multiple arthritis Gnfiamma-
tory rheumatiSm) are the only causes
of valvular leakage They're the i'm
portant causes. Endocarditis Gnf1am-
nation of the heart lining) also oc-
ours in some cases OF scarlet feVer,
pneumonia, septicemia (acute blood
poisoning) and smallpox. When the
heart valves are roughened or dis
torted from the effects of endocardi-
tis, they begin to leak, and unlike the
valves in the flivver they can't be
ground into good working order
again.
Please print what proportions of
aluminium chloride and distilled water
to use to check excessive perspiration
under the arms.-G. c.
Answer-One part in four. Dissolve
half an ounce of aluminium chloride
in two ounces of distilled or rain
water. Sponge or mop some on the
armpits and allow it to dry before
dressing. Such an application each
alternate day for three or four sue
cessive times will generally control
the sweating for a few weeks. Some
times this proves too irritating to
the skin But aside from that there
is no objection to checking sweat in
the armpits.
