as external obligations TO be met
without regard to the political re.

In fact, the relations between Great
Britain and the other members OF
the Commonwealth are so tenuous
that the British seek to avoid de-
yeloping political difficulties from
economic causes.
On the other hand, II the United
States can spend billions to reha-
bilitate not only the continents OF
Europe and Asia but even enemy
countries, why is It so difficult to
aid Great Britain which, for IA
months stood alone? II must be re-
peated that the British believe, as
we do no, that the United States
was the ultimate aim OF the Mani
war and that Great Britain, and not
our bombers, saved US. History
will. OF course, determine wheth-
err this view is correct. but the Brit
ish cannot wait for history's deci-
sion. They need the cash now.

Your Health
Blood Pressure
Possible Cause
of Heart Trouble

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN. NJ. L
HEART conditions may arise
from various causes. High blood
pressure is responsible for certain
types Of heart disturbance. An
excessive amount Of secretion
from the thyroid gland in the neck
will also produce permanent heart
damage. 1t is also a fact that in
myxedema, which is a condition
due TO too little thyroid extract,
heart disorders may arise.
II is often difficult TO tell, In a
patient whose heart disturbance
has come from too little thyroid
secretion, just what is producing
the difficulty. In other words, the
heart disorder interferes with the
tests usually made to determine
whether the thyroid gland is fune-
tioning properly.
Best Test
According 70 Doctor Thomas
Hodge McGavack and his co-work-
ers, Of New York, one Of the best
tests for thyroid disturbance is TO
determine the amount of a GER
Tain substance in the blood known
as cholesterol. Cholesterol is
substance present in all the tissues
of the body. When there is a lack
Of thyroid secretion, the amount Of
cholesterol is decreased.
Heart disorders do not affect the
amount Of cholesterol in the blood.
Thus, II a person, suspected Of
having a thyroid deficiency and
heart trouble. is found to have a
decrease OF cnolesterol IN the Dloou,
it Is evident that the heart trouble
is due to the thyroid gland dis
turbance
Both Disorders
In treating patients who have
both heart and thyroid disorder,
the giving of thyroid extract is
necessary in all instances, but the
amount must be adjusted for each
case. The preparation should be
used only under the direction Of
the physician. He will have to
regulate the dose depending upon
the reaction which occurs from its
use.
Treatment of the heart condi.
ton is more important than treat
ment of the thyroid gland trouble.
But the response of the heart
to treatment will be disappointing
unless thyroid extract is also ad-
ministered.
First Dose Small
The first dose of thyroid extract
given is small. The speed with
which the dose is increased de-
ponds upon the age of the patient,
the duration Of the disorder, and
the amount of damage to the heart
which has occurred.
1t is always important for a per-
son who has heart trouble to de-
termine, the cause before treat
ment is undertaken. II it Is found
that there is q thyroid deficiency,
the use Of thyroid extract in the
proper dose is of extreme i'm
portance
