Digitalis no Medicine For Heart Trouble
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Since last sounded of here about the worthlessness Gas I be- lieve) of digitalis as medicine for any kind of heart trouble, I have had serious qualms. In of the record talks about it with medical colleagues whose views I respect I have found myself pretty much alone-on1y one real doctor out of a score or more with whom talk ed, sharing my opinion of digitaliS. All the others seemed to consider it of more or less value in cer- tain circumstances. What the final outcome of this will be I cannot now foresee but I begin to fear it will be nconclusive-like the con- troversy over the question of hu- man rabies. Meanwhile, folks, please remember this: If I myself sought medical advice or the care of the doctor I'd take PaSteur treatment, castor oil, digitaliS or whatever the doctor might order me to take-or else I'd discharge the doctor. hope that childish old party who refuses to take the digitalis the doctor or ders-"because Dr. Brady says it is no goodwill now do as Dr. Brady says-take the medicine your doc tor orders or dismiss the doctor. You deserve a good spanking for your misbehavior.
 Come to think of it, I suppose large part of the unpopularity of the teachings in this column in the opinion of the real doctors is

 America'S Card Authority

Earl Alderman of San Francisco sent me today's hand. He commen- ted that North should have bid twice with passing partner. Dan Westerfield, one if the senior mas ters on the Pacific coast, was the declarer and went about making the hand in the following manner.
 He ruffed the third diamond. played a small club to the king and finessed the ten of spades. West won and returned club which Westerfield won in dummy with the ace. Now the nine of spades was hnessed. West won with the ace and a club return was ruffed by declarer, who then started to count the hand out.
 East had shown up with three clubs and his diamond bid marked him with four-card diamond suit. He was also marked for at least three spades. Dummy at this point was down to three hearts to the ace-nine, a diamond and a club, while declarer had three spades to the king and the king ten of hearts. To make his con- tract he had to win four of the remaining five tricks.
 He led the king of spades and trumped in dummy with the small heart. Now the club was led and East was helpless. He decided to ruff with the queen of hearts, de- clarer over-ruffed and led a spade, ruffing in dummy with the ace of hearts. The last diamond was ruffed with the ten of hearts.

Curves Can Be Reproportioned
By ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

Get into your bathing suit and stroke your way to beauty this summer. But swim regularly and in good form.
 That's all it takes to build a million-dollar figure. If you're skep- tical, just ask any instructor what swimming correctly and regularly does to reproportion curves CO., ordinate body movements and make long, 1.-the, rubbery muscles.
 To gain these spectacular bene- fits, however, he'll tell you that you'll need to master a stroke. A dog-paddling technique may give you your fun, but nothing more to cheer you on.
 What will keep you in the water until you can cut an uprippling trail and can take 8 springboard- bow are a few expert swimming lessons to teach your proficiency. Take lessons. But before you de- eide on the stroke that you want to master, look over the beauty benefits of each. There are four principal strokes and each has it's special attractions to swimmers.
 First, let's look at the back stroke. Not the showiest in terms of performance but one of the best for building a taut, high chest is this one for which you

due, not so much to radical ideas promulgated here but to the way half informed, misinformed or men, tally unstable patients cite this column in their efforts to haraSS the doctor. I'm sorry about that, but there's nothing more can do about it.
 As for what the rank and file of the medical profession may think, say or practice in regard to the "cold" question, 1t is as hard to determine the consensus of present day physicians as it is to get a pre- else definition from medical author or authority of "the common cold" If you think am facetious about it, try to find a cold" defined or described in any medical work pub lished in our time. I've tried in vain for thirty years. Medical au- thors generally begin their articles, books, papers or discussions with definition of the disease - except when they don't know just what they are talking about, and then they begin by assuming that every body knows or that definition is unnecessary.
 This vagueneSs as to just what "cold" covers makes it practically impossible to pin a doctor down in an argument or debate about the question, and makes it easy for a doctor to string patients along with out 8 diagnosis, although of course
