How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
More Hope for Heart Patients
BY Or. PETER ]. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My hus-
band had an attack Of coronary
thrombosis three months ago at
the age Of 81. Even though there
has been much informative pub
licity lately on the disease be-
cause of the Presidents attack.
you can understand why ]
hunger for more information.
I am not especially interested
In the treatment. I leave that to
our doctor, in whom we have
complete confidence. The future
Is what I am especially In
terested in. We have been read
ing a lot lately about fewer
patients dying in the first attack
than used to IS years ago.
But what happens after that?
Is the outlook for longer life
better than it was previously ?
When something like this hap
pens to a husband, the wife lives
from hour to hour in a state of
anxiety. In spite Of better re-
ports about coronary disease. ]
wonder If much Of it isn't polly
annish in nature. Are you
doctors practicing humanity :?
Are you just trying to make the
best of a bad thing by ct least
keeping up our spirits?
You don't know how thank
full ! shall be for your reply.
Although am enclosing q
stamped envelope for your letter,
I believe the question I have
raised is important enough to be
answered in your column. I am
sure many other anxious people
will be thankful for your infor-
nation. Sincerely, Mrs. A. T. A,
1 Answer: Your anxiety Is UNI
derstandable. With an appar-
entity unpredictable disease hang
ing over your heads, you would
be silly to deny your fears. It i:
true that coronary disease is still
q menace. In spite of newer
diagnostic and therapeutic meas
ures. we are often helpless in
treating patients with over.
whelming attacks. Nevertheless
we are not being pollyanish wher
we say the outlook is better.
Twenty-Five years ago some
cardiologists published reports
showing a rs per cent mortality

that three of every four patient.
would die in the first attack Of
thrombosis. In the succeeding
years, a calm appraisal of hun.
dreds of thousands of patients
reveals that about 80 out of every

These statistics are, Of course
more heartening. They are thu
basis for the more optimistic re.
ports you have been reading
about. Well. you may say thai
you and your husband are nov
past that hurdle. He is one o.
the 80 per cent who recover

Again, statistics based on man,

bands - will help us. Looking

Make An Effort!

to me, is that just as in business
there's no profit without risk, so
in entertaining there's no pleasure
without effort. certainly have no
objection to informality. to relaxa-
ton or to thrift, but too much of
any of these manages to rob life of
its SAVIOR.
If you treat your home as a
maintenance problem instead of a
place to enjoy living. if you have a
car and are afraid to drive it. if
you keep your table linen in the
cabinet because it will get soiled,
then you might as well not have
any of these things.
lF A trip to Europe is too expen-
sive for you. don't take it. But if
you have the money. and want to
20, don't hold back because you
might need the money for some
thing else in some distant future.
BY the same token, when you
entertain, give a little of yourself
you'll have much more fun and
SO will your guests.
In Washington l once heard a
man famed for his wit being very
charming to a dinner partner who.
unfortunately, was not quite
capable of appreciating his con-
versatiOn. Later someone COM
mented that it was too bad he had
wasted his stories on such an un-
comprehending listener.
But my dear fellow" said the
first man. there's always pleasure
in telling good story. even if it
isn't understood"
It's a good rule for a hostess.
Even if your guests should fail to
appreciate your efforts, you'll
appreciate them yourself!
