Heart Disease
Often Traced TO
Lung Trouble

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. CUP)
Heart disease, greatest single
cause of death in the United
States, often can be traced direct
ly to lung trouble, three Los An
geles doctors told the American
Medical association convention.
Drs. Donald f. Griggs, Newton
G. Evans and Charles b. Coggin
of the Los Angeles general hospi-
tai presented surveys of many
fatal cases of heart disease show
ing it conceded frequently with
chest ailments which in turn were
caused by occupational hazards.
They emphasized tuberculosis
and pneumoconiosis, a lung dis
ease caused by inhalation of mi
mute particles such as sand and
rock dust, as especially dangerous
to the hearts functions.
ut was found in reviewing rec
ords of 1900 autopsies at the Los
Angeles general hospital that these
diseases of the lung were frequent
ly associated with enlargement of
the right side of the heart and
heart failure'', the doctors report
said.
While heart disease has taken its
huge annual toll of lives advances
have been made in the treatment
of heart irregularities which some
times are forerunners of a chronic,
dangeous condition.
DR.. George E. Fahr, Minneapolis
mentioned especially digitalis, a
tested physicians remedy for reg
ulation of heart disturbance
known as fertilization, in which the
individual fibers of the heart mus
cles lake up their own rhythm to
produce irregular heart and pulse
beats.
"Quiilidine, a close relative of
quinine, is a valuable in the treat
ment of flutter', a condition in
which the heart beats are uniform
but extremely rapid, Dr. Fahr
said.

New Treatment for
Social Diseases
Increases Cures

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. CUP)
-Sulfanilamide cheap and easy to
administer, may hold the answer to
one of Americas most pressing
problems of social disease control,
two Los Angeles eXperimenters told
the American Medical Association
today.
The work Drs. Bernard Silver and
Manning Elliott did with the drug
in treating gonorrhea led them to
believe that if carefully used sultan
ilamide could be of unprecedented
efficacy.
For their tests they took two
groups of men, one of 200 suffers
and the other OF 1925 afflicted with
the social disease.
The first group was given
strict supervision and maximum
doses of the drug. They had no
other treatment Within a month,
Silver and Elliott repored, three
fifthS of the cases were cured.
In the end only four cases failed
to show beneficial effects of the
treatment
In the larger group the supervi-
sion was not so strict and some
of the men played hockey on treat
ment days, so that the treatments
were not uniform. But the doctors
considered the procedure in this
group close to what would be an
average condition. Smaller doses
were prescribed and some other
forms of treatment were admins
tered.
In spite of these difficulties, AZ
per cent of the cases took less than
month to cure.
Among the 1925 men only SO COM
plications developed in contrast to
the Is to 20 per cent prevailing in
the days before sulfanilamide, the
doctors said.
They warned, however. that self
administered the treatment was
dangerous.

40-mile wind, but only IL of the
projected 45O balloons were used.
The government has called for
5000 volunteers to man the saus-
age balloons, which are expected
to rise above $4,000 feet, trailing
steel cables which would entangle
any airplaneS flying below the
steel apron. Hundreds of volunteers
have enrolled in the balloon corps.
The government has developed a
81 millimeter anti-aircraft gun
which it is claimed is remarkably
effective at an altitude of more
than $4,000 feet. Hundreds of the
guns will be placed in the London
area.
Passive defense plans also have
been advanced. Sir Samuel Hoare,
home secretary, recently estimated
trench systems and dugouts to be
built in the parks could shelter
1,250000 to 100000 persons He
reported 32,00O,000 sandbags had
been accumulated and 275 900, 900
more ordered
Thousands of residents owning
gardens have been building their
private trenches, on advice of the
government that a narrow trench
is their best protection against ex-
plosive bombs.
The government has formulated
plans to move the governmental
machinery from Whitehall to a safe
place, but details have been kept
secret
Government experts are consider
ing measures to transfer the big
banking services and stock ex-
change to safer zone in the event

Association convention today.
Nina Simmons, SGD, of the Uni
versity of California school of medi-
cine, in one of the final lectures
of the week-long convention, said
the garden, grocery, orchard, dairy
and butcher shop should be re-
garded as the principal sources of
dietary needs.
"Vitamin capsules, tablets, brew
erS' yeast are excellent supplements
to a diet when certain foods are
disliked", DR.. Simmonds said, but
one should know what they do not
contain as well as what they do
contain"
THE details of vitamins, amino
acids and the like are of great
interest to the science of nutri-
tion, but in preventative medicine
and public health, one must deal
largely with natural foods and
products made from them" she said.
Research of the past 20 years has
shown that no one food is indis-
pensable, DR.. Simmonds said.
Practical application of the sci
ence OF nutrition, which has made
more progress in the last rs years
than in all previous time, lies in
placing emphasis on sunshine, fresh
air and rest as well as in planning
interesting and appetizing menus" "
she said.

NOT TOO LATE TO MAKE CHRIST
MAS SEAL RETURNS

Many people, due to the excite
ment of Christmas OF the pre-Christ-
mas rush, mislay the Christmas Seals
that were mailed to them early in
the sale. and accordingly fail to
make returns, feeling that it is now
too late to pay for them.
It is never too late to pay for the
seals, say the chairmen of the coun-
ty tuberculosis associations Con.
tributions made through payment for
seals are just as useful in the fight
against disease as those made prior
to Christmas. The more funds that
are received, they contend, the great
er, the progress against the disease.
In many desks and bureau draw
ers in many homes there are over
looked Christmas seals. Check-up
and see If you have paid for yours, ie
the request Of these chairman.
The sale in most counties has been
very good, but only few have main
tanned better records than were made
last year. With the slight increase
in the tuberculosis death rate for the
past year 1t is necessary that in
creased efforts be made to reduce
this disease in every county Such a

will do so as generously as those
who paid previously.
1t is also not too late to use the
seals. The seals represent an all year
round fight against tuberculosis and
carry message of hope and cheer
that cannot be limited to one season
alone. Use the seals, the tuberculosis
association officials urge. until all
are gone.
Many of the county associations
plan to send out follow-up cards to
those who have not yet paid for the
seals. This is done in order to speed
up the returns so that all Of the time
of the association can be devoted to
carrying out the program. More
adequate plans can also be made
after the total amount of the seal
sale returns is kncwn.

for payment in the 1887 program
