The French ambassador who was

showed no sign whatever that he
was affected by the words and later
he is said to have told friend that
it was hardly likely that the prima
donna reference could have been
meant TO apply to France since the
President had completed his COM

interests had been made and had

That, Of course, is a good alibi.

an alibi for l am convinced that
had there been even unofficial ad-
mission that the President was
hitting at De Gaulle a really diff
cult situation would arise. 1t is

That is supposed 10 account for

which lie tossed off as familiar
asides and which helped TO give his

But l was startled at what he said
following the text as il dealt with
an agreement with Yugoslavia. He
read the sentence, We hope that
it is in the process Of fulfllment
and then he looked up and with just
a touch Of what vecged on sarcasm

Your Health
Shortness of
Breath Sign OF
Damaged Heart
By IL. y. BuNDESEN. NJ. y.

- q AAAAA ~ = ~ ANNNA
By II. y. BuNDESEN. NJ. D.
DYSPNEA means shortncss Of
breath. II is uncomfortable be-
cause Of the labored, difficult
breathing. Dyspnea is often the
earliest sign Of a damaged heart.
1t causes more discomfort than all
of the other heart symptoms to-
gether.
According to Doctor Tinsley K.
Harrison of Dallas, the contlnua-
tion Of dyspnea adds further strain
to an already damaged heart, and
so intensifics the condition which
caused the shortness Of breath in
the first place.
There are different kinds Of
dyspnea. For example. there is the
shortness of breath which comes
only after exercise. 1t always oc-
curs when the heart is failing and
means that the reserve strength
Of the heart is lacking. Orthopnea
is shortness of breath which comes
when 4 person is lying down. Dysp-
nea occurring in the evening is the
type in which the difficulty with
breathing gradually increases dur
ing the day and may prevent sleep.
Cardiac asthma is a kind Of
dyspnea which usually occurs in
heart disease due to high blood
pressure and hardened arteries.
The attacks Of shortness Of breath
come at night, and there usually
is a collection of fluid in the lung
tissues. OF course, if the heart dis
ease is severe enough, the short
ness Of breath is constant. Short
ness of breath may lower the pres
sure within the chest. This may
further increase the congestion in
the lungs and bring on pulmonary
edema or fluid in the lungs.
The treatment of such cases
consists in the proper administra-
tion Of morphine by the doctor.
Giving the morphine will lower
the breathing rate and bring rest
to the heart muscle.
The treatment of shortness of
breath due TO heart failure in
cludes first of all plenty OF. rest.
Second, the patient should have a
light, easily digested diet, and
third, proper care of the bowels.
If the patient is reasonably COM
Portable with these simple meas
ures, drugs are not usually em-
ployed. However, in most instances
the administration Of digitalis is
necessary. Digitalis is drug
which slows and strengthens the
heart beat. OF course. the dose
must be properly regulated since
an overdose may cause a great deal
Of trouble.
Sometimes, substances are also
used which STIMULATE the activity
Of the kidneys. This helps to get
rid of excess fluids in the tissues
and frequently such preparations
are of great benefit in clearing up
the difficulty.
Oxygen is useful for cardiac
asthma. Sedative drugs for quiet.
ing the nerves and producing
sleep should be given in sufficient
amounts at bedtime. These drugs
may also help to control the
coughing, which is a distressing
symptom at night. The evening
meal should be light, and the pa
tient often does better if he sleeps
IN an upright position.
