Tobacco Not Cause
Analysing this data. it is prob

were fundamental in causing the
angina. 1t is the same thing with
athletes and so-called "athlete's
heart. 1t is hard to say exactly
what anybody means by "ath-
lete's heart" but we do know that
athletes are likely to die in a
larger proportion of angina pee
toris than people who have rot
been strenuous athletes in their
youth. This probably means that
they are spasmogenic individuals

-: One. definite action of tobacco
is to cause spaSm Of the small
arteries and this, under certain
circumstances, may be so definite
as to require that its use be
stopped before permanent dam
age occurs. Two conditions in
which such a contingency may
arise are angina pectoris and
disease of the small arteries of
the feet which is known as Buer-
gers Disease.
Spasm Nay Be Serious
Angina pectoris is almost GER
talnly due to spasm of the arteries
which supply the muscle of the
heart. When these arteries be-
come narrowed and inelastic due
to the process of aging, such
spasm may be very serious.
Angina" means pain and attacks
are characterized by a severe
pain under the breastbone or in
the region of the heart.

HIS WEEK Magazine has standing rule -
to print only stories and articles that have
never been printed before. But in this issue
we made one exception and asked Charming
Pollock to retell the anecdote which concludes
his article on this page. The following note
from the author tells why:
My wife" writes Mr. Pollock, threatens
dire consequences if ever | relate this tale
again However, there seems no way out. The
story of the blue serge suit originally appeared
in an essay of mine published in 1881. Its
edition exhausted, the editors printed mil
lion copies in pamphlet form. These copies
we're quickly exhausted, too. The anecdote
has been translated into several languages. |
have repeated it on countless lecture plat
forms and in radio broadcasts Despite this,
rarely get through the question period follow
ing lecture without someone asking, Will
you tell the story of the serge suit? Apparently
that is the only thing have written that
doesn't grow old, The reason is not merit of
mine, but the undying human response to
loyalty, courage and gallantry. Incidentally,
the man in the blue-serge suit still lives
within few miles of New York.
