Treatment
For Anemia
y
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
© Bell Syndicate.-—~WNU Service,
HEN an individual is said
to be anemic—has thin
blood—the first thought for a
great many years was to give
‘iron’ pills, because anemia
really means lack of iron. And
even today the anemic individ-
ual is still given iron pills, iron
tablets, iron capsules and even
iron injections. These methods
of giving iron are all helpful in
anemia.
Then when Drs. Minot and Mur-
phy, Boston, were able to show the
medical profession
the wonderful re-
sults of feeding liv-
er to patients with
the formerly {fatal
type of anemia—
pernicious anemia—
liver in some form
became the common
method of treating
all cases of anemia.
Later extract of
hog’s stomach in-
stead of liver began
to be used with the

same Success.
While this treatment by iron, liv-
er or liver extract and hog's stom-
ach helps most patients, it should
not prevent the patient, or, in cases
where the patient is under treat-
ment, the patient’s physician, from
finding out the cause of the anemia
and trying to correct it.
Prevention and Cure.
Dr. H. K. Speed Sayre, in Okla-
homa State Medical Association
Journal, mentions dental sepsis—
poisoning from the teeth—and ane-
mia due lack of and
minerals in the food eaten.
to
“The treatment of anemia may
be divided into three dix Pre-
vention, the general treatment of
anemia and treatment by specific
or special remedies.”
Prevention of anemia would in-
clude a general examination by the
physician and dentist that any
slow infection that may be destroy-
ing the red corpuscles or reducing
the iron in them would be readily
discovered.

rest, rich,
ly meats,
fruits.
Special or specific treatment
would be the use of liver, liver ex-
tract, extract of hog's stomach and,
in certain cases, the'transfusion of
rich blood from a healthy individu-
al.

The Failing Heart,
The heart was meant to do a cer-
tain amount of work, according to
the size of the body. However, if in-
fection in the body affects the lining
or valves of the heart, or affects the
power of the heart walls (which
pump the blood), it would then not
be able to do its ““‘normal’ amount
of work. It could, however, do half
(or even more) as much work as it
was able to do before it was dam-
aged.
The point then for those with
heart disease—a failing heart—to
remember, is, that having such a
heart does not mean that they are
doomed to early and sudden death.
It means rather that they will have
to learn just what ““load’’ their heart
will carry without putting extra
strain on it. It is the extra strain
that undermines the heart's
strength (uses up its reserve).
Not getting enough rest, taking
more exercise or doing more work
than the heart can stand are some
causes of strain.
An important cause of strain is
the eating of large, heavy meals.
Emotional disturbances also put
much extra strain on the heart.
Six Lives Lost Heeding
False Distress Signal
One of the worst disasters on the
Great Lakes in 1880 wiped out the
crew of the Pointe Aux Barques
coast guard station near here,
which recently was discontinued, re-
calls a Huron City, Mich., corre-
spondent in the Detroit Free Press.
Following the mandatory weather
report for April 23, 1880, in the sta-
tion's log is the notation, “Crew all
cold in death with the exception of
keeper,”’ written by Capt. Jerome
Kiah, the first commander.
On that day, Captain Kiah said lat-
er, a scow flying a distress signal
was seen. The crew of six and
commander launched a boat and
headed for the scow. Several hours
of battling the heavy surf took them
three miles out, a quarter-mile from
the scow.
A heavy wave swept up on the
boat and capsized it. Twice the
crew righted it, each time to see it
capsize again. For a time they
clung to the boat, then one by one
they slipped away into the icy wa-
ter.
Captain Kiah, who was not over-
heated from rowing because he was
in command, alone survived. He
was found unconscious on the beach.
The report notes that the six lives
were lost needlessly. After the coast
guard boat overturned, the scow
sailed away in no apparent diffi
culty and its identity never was
learned

The teacher was lecturing the
class on birds and their young ones.
‘““Now, children,” she said, ‘“‘you
must imitate the young ones when
they come out of the shells.”
The children started waving their
arms, except one little lad, who sat
quite still,
“Why do you sit still, Johnny?"
said the teacher with surprise.
“Because I am a bad egg,” was
the startling reply.

“Which is farther off,” he asked,

“America, father," said the boy

“Because we can see the moon
but we cannot see America.”

rocks, the sea itself, sand Miss
Matilda felt herself in the arms of
her young lover, so tender,
dear-—
And he had sailed away, full
hope and happy anticipations
the day when he should return

come, There had been a fire
aboard the ship—and the young
officer, who belonged heart
soul to Matilda Bell, had given
his life for another.
Years had taken away that first
tragic grief, but Miss Matilda had
loved too deeply to forget. How
she wished she had been with
him! Sometimes he seemed to
speak to her in the voice of the
sea, and she would say that she
was coming-—some day soon, very
soon—coming to be with him.
On the rocks below Miss Ma-
tilda's cottage two figures were
against the dull red
and
sky.
‘“‘But, dear girl'’—the man’s
voice was tender, serious—‘‘you

woman to it, least of all—you. It

The girl's straight, sweet gaze

huskily :
“Bless you, sweetheart, you're

game of life squarely—together.”
And up in the little dusky win-

sea still crooning a low love song,
Miss Matilda had come into her
own.
