Cornorvon Castle Due
In Montevideo Monday

MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay, Dec. 6
R).-The British merchant cruiser
Carnarvon Castle, damaged yester-
day in battle with a German raider,
was expected to reach this harbor
next Monday, apparently seeking re-
pairs.
1t was learned authoritatively that
the Uruguayan government had
granted permission to enter. In
formed sources placed the scene of
the battle 1000 miles northeast of
Montevideo, within the American
neutrality belt.
Naval sources expressed belief that
the British ship broke off the en-
gagement when the German raider
outdistanced her and that the fact
the Carnarvon Castle is putting into
port indicated another warship
might be taking up the chase.

Leaning Forward Helps
Some Heart Attacks
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. GA type of
heart attack whose remedies range
all the way from merely leaning
forward in a chair, to a powerful
heart drug, mecholyl, is described
in the journal of the American
Medical Association.
The heart beat suddenly goes
fast, doubling its normal rate, or
even more. The beats run from $50
to 200 minute, three or more a
second.
This happens frequently to per-
sons with apparently normal hearts,
as well as to others with bad hearts.
The paroxysms may last few hours
or a few days, and generally stop
spontaneously.
But when prolonged they may
lead to heart damage, and for this
reason the medical profession has
been developing the odd array of
remedies which DR.. Robert L, Levy,
professor of clinical medicine, Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons,
New York City, describes in the
Journal.
First, he says simple mechanical
procedures should be tried. These
include pressure on the eyeballS,
forced beating, and pressure on the
cartoid in the neck. If these fail,
mecholyl is given. This drug as a
rule, DR.. Levy says, terminates an
attack abruptly in to II minutes.
In a story of giving this remedy
to 12-year-old Dorothy Quigley OF
Bayonne, N j., dated November ~,
an Associated Press dispatch de-
scribed mecholyl as often fatal,
and a photograph caption called it
"a drug reputed for taking life in
stead of saving it"
DR.. Levy, however, in the A. M
A. report, says that mecholyl is not
dangerous, and in letter adds that
to the best of his knowledge has
never caused fatality.
