W. Crane Edith’s problem troubles millions of people in sum- mer. For the body is @a miraculous creation with built- in thermostats, Use thie analogy of the city water fau- cets to see why pressure drops when your skin grows flush with hot weather. _If your pulse is too fast, that may produce swollen ankles, too. CASE N-588: Edith W., aged 40, is worried. “We meet once per month, “But at our last session, gwollen ankles. “And I have noticed the several complained about same thing in both of mine, for my feet and ankles puff up in summer, “They are all right in the morning but by the middle" of the afternoon, I often ean mot wear my shoes. “What is wrong with me?” MEDICAL FACTS During very hot weather, many people turn on their faucets and (unless the city forbids such daytime use of water) they may have their lawns sprinklers in action. For kiddies like to run wun- der the cold spray. Now suppose you live on the top ffoor of a l0story apartment building. What happens to the water pressure? : Often, it may become so reduced that you can't get more than a trickle out of the faucets. Why? Because the city water pumps, if working at their previous normal capacity, can’t maintain adequate pres- sure. Same applies to your heart as it tries to keep up the cir- culation of blood. In summer, your skin is more pink, why? Because your body tries $0 open the vessels wider in the skin so more blood will get cooled by the air around you.

DILLERVILLE (Between Manheim-Harrisburg Pike) LANCASTER Phone 397 - ¢ BROAD For your body is a very ingenious creation, with built in thermostats. Thus, in winter, your skin blanches, for your body then tries to keep more blood in your trunk to avoid chilling. Thus, it shrinks your skin vessels, But the reverse occurs in summer, so you get flushed when you are hot, in order to cool your blood faster and thus keep your bodily temp- erature at its normal 98:6 de- grees. Gravity also explains why later in the ankles swell the day. For at night, you are in the horizontal position at least 8 or 9 hours. But after you jump out of bed, you stand upright for many hours and gravity tends to compete with your heart. So some of the watery con- tents of your blood seeps through blood vessel walls and thus accumulates at the lowest spot, which is your feet and ankles, A mild amount of swelling in summer is thus very com- mon in otherwise healthy people. But when you show exag- gerated swelling or if your legs grow larger in winter, it may mean that your heart is racing too fast to maintain a good, strong circulation, So doctors then give you drugs, such as digitalis, to slow down your pulse rate to about 80 or less. For that rate permits your heart to restore proper cir- culation, which picks up the excess fluid in the tissues (especially ‘your legs) ang lets the kidneys excrete it, > Mildly swollen ankles hot weather usually ingic low blood pressure, So prop your feet upon ga hassock whenever yg ate sitting down as at Sewing o reading or watching TV. For that posture rests your heart, by slowing its rate 7 or 12 beats per minute in ate Self-distrust is the ess of heroism, ence —Emerson JACKETS - SKI JACKETS - All Famous Brands REDUCED 109 109% OFF ENTIRE STOCK OF Men’s & Boy’s Winter Outerwear TOP COATS - PARKAS § CAR COATS THIS WEEK-END ON Ly ALPERT 47 - 51 MARKET SQUARE - MANHEIM | WE GIVE S&H GREEN DEPT.
