ParoXysmal Tachycardia
Heart Disease Proven
Not Serious


BY HERMAN BUSDcSEN. N
THERE are certain conditions
affecting the heart, which require
immediate measures for their re-
lief One Of these Is known as par
ovysmal taChycardia. In this con-
dit!ou there is a sudden onset Of
very rapid and regular beating OF
the heart. The rate rises usually TO
between ll6 and 200 beats a min
ute bat may be as low as l40. The
normal pulse rate varies from 90
10 100 in adults.
II there is no actual disease Of
the heart present, paroXysmal
tacaycard!a rarely leads TO any
serious disturbance Of the heart
action. But If there is damage TO
the heart valves or 70 the heart
muscle, the attack Of paroXysmal
tachycardia may either bring on
heart failure or severe pain under
the breastbone
Taintness and Giddiness
Ordinarily, the attack only
causes faintness and giddiness,
while the heart beat is, Of course,
noticeable to the person. Almost
in every instance when the at
tack occurs, the patient finds 1t
necessary to lie down. The attacks
are apt to recur at intervals.
Sometimes patients who have
become familiar with attacks Of
paroxysmal tachycardia hit upon
tricks Of their own which they find
effective in stopping them, such as
holding the breath or taking a long
drink Of water. These maneuvers
are more effective if applied at the
beginning Of the attack.
There is a collection Of nerve
tissue located in the neck known
ss the carotid sinus.
Pressure Effective
Pressure over this area is some
times found effective in stopping
the attack of rapid heart beat. The
patients head IS turned slightly
TO the left and the doctor, by feel
ing the neck, finds about where
the carotid sinus is located. Strong
pressure is made against the spine.
The procedure is tried first on the
right side and if this does not stop
the attack then it is carried out on
the left.
Pressure on the eyeballs has also
been found to work when other
methods fail. 1t has been found,
too. that tickling the back of the
patients throat until he gags will
bring about an immediate cessa-
tion Of the attack. In all instances
the attacks sooner or later stop by
themselves.
Hence, if the above measures do
not bring relief under the watchful
eye Of doctor the patient should
be reassured, put to bed and given
some nerve-quieting drug such as
phenobarbital. OF course, it is i'm
portant in all these cases to make
certain that the condition produc-
ing this rapid pulse is paroxysmal
tachycardia and not some other
type Of heart disease.

Population Changes
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Primitive man. it is said came to community living not because had any great love for his fellows but because he felt the safety that comes with numbers single human, alone in the prehistoric jungle, was easy prey for the wild things about him. hundred men had better chance of survival, even if their combined strength inadequate to combat the strength of their attackers
 Today the man who lives in large center of population can't too certain that great communities are havens of safety The peasant living in the German woodlands far more secure in 1944 than their cousins whose homes in the heart of Berlin If the atomic bomb ever is used again in war, it's devastation will be worked against communities where millions of men gathered. It won't be dropped in sparsely populated districts Safety, now, seems to come with solitude and this may alter the worlds way of living
 Communities offer danger which the wilderness of today never knows. Speeding automobiles crashing trucks illnesses which transmitted from human to hurnan-these and score of other hazards have re- placed the terrors of primitive and pioneer times And while civilizations progress has added to the dangers of community living, it has lessened the dangers to the family which lives Disease is less prevalent Radio telephone airplanes and many other modern sciences have combined to make life in remote rural districts safe and comfortable
 The percentage of rural population in America back in 179o was 966, with only 34 of our people living in cities 1890 the urban figure had jumped to 29 per cent 37 per cent in 1910 and reached the high mark in 1880 when 56 per cent of our people lived in cities and towns. It is interesting to note that there has appreciable percentage change since that time. The upward cnmp or ufpan popuUio seems to have stopped.
 In view of present conditions, it is entirely possible that the pendulum now may swing the other way; that rural districts will begin to regain numerical strength at the expense of the larger cities.

PROMOTING A FIGHT

We notice from dispatches received from Anchor age that Governor of Alaska Ernest Gruening has the hatchet out again, and in public speeches is going after some members of the Legislature stirring up another quarrel which isn't going to do the Territory much good.
 Certainly no Governor could ask for more CO., operation than Gruenng received during the recent special session. Practically every measure which he requested with some extras he did not request but has been in favor of passed by both Houses and now is law.
 And it is true that the Senate, which Gruening condemns and belittes in recent Anchorage speech, is where large majority of this legislation originated
 The super liberal veterans bill originated in the Senate The greatly beralized Workmens Compensa- tion Act originated in the Senate The tuberculosis bill originated in the Senate, as did other health measures And every other measure, which was en- acted into law and the Governor said in an earlier statement believes this performance of the Leg isature to have been outstanding highly success full" every measure which became law had to pass both houses of the Legislature.
 But still the Governor insists upon asking for fight The men he attacks in various speeches have splendid legislative records to back them for re-
