JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.
First Symptom of Heart
Failure
AS STUDENTS it was our custom
to listen to as many cases of heart
disease as possible, and try to tell
whether the murmur came with the
first beat, with the second beat, just
before the first beat, and the quality
Of the murmur.
Then with this worked out in our
minds we tried to tell just which
valves were affected and gave the dis
ease its particular name. What do
we find our Instructors in medicine
teaching the students now about heart
disease?
While they have not done away with
the names of the diseases affecting the
heart, they attach very little impor
tance to them, because they have or
try to have all heart ailments down
to a practical working basis.
What are the practical points?
First, has the heart enough power to
do the work of the body when the
body is at rest? Second, what amount
of reserve has the heart when work,
extra work. Is demanded of It?
If the heart cannot do the ordinary
work demanded, and cannot do a little
extra work at times, then that heart
is “failing’’ in its ability to work, and
we have what is called “heart fail
ure.”
What are the signs that the heart
is not doing its work properly, or is
not strong enough to fulfill the usual
demands on it?
If the failure is severe or has existed
for some time the heart will be di
lated, and there may be dropsy.
But before the heart becomes such
a complete failure, what is the first
sign that is noted by the patient him
self?
Breathlessness on effort
Remember everybody gets out of
breath if they work or exercise hard
or long enough. But if work that they
have ordinarily been able to do with
out getting out of breath, now makes
them breathless, the first thought
should be to have the family doctor
examine the heart thoroughly; that is
lying down, sitting up, standing up,
exercising, immediately after exercis
ing, two minutes after exercising, by
breath holding tests, and other meth
ods.
However, an obstructed nose, a
heavy meal, or being already tired,
may cause breathlessness after effort,
even when the heart is normal.
Remember, then, that the first symp
tom of heart failure is breathlessness
on slight effort.

Insanity
A CRIME has been committed and
the law seeks to punish the crim
inal Immediately the defense makes
the claim that the prisoner is Insane
and therefore cannot be punished by
the law but should be placed in an in
stitution for mental patients.
Fairmlnded people have no desire to
see an Insane man or woman punished
by hanging or Imprisonment, nor, on
the other hand do they want to see a
prisoner who Is not Insane escape the
Just punishment of his crime because
a clever lawyer is able to bolster up
a defense by various circumstances,
illustrations and comparisons.
What is insanity anyway?
When we think of how Judges, law
yers, and juries wrestle with the prob
lem of wbat Is and what is not insanity,
it is not easy to give a full or complete
definition of just what must be found
about an individual before he should
be called Insane.
However in a general way it may
be said that everyone of us is born
With certain instincts, principal or first
instincts they are called, such as love,
hate, fear, joy. These are a part of
ns, ourselves in fact
It then, you love, hate, fear anybody
•r anything, that is your own business;
at least that is what one would nat
urally think. And if this love, hate or
fear does no harm to anyone else, no
one but yourself knows that you pos
aess it
If, however, this love, hate, or fear
so affects you that you want to do
things that are not considered right
by the community and by the laws of
the land, then a fight goes on within
yen, a ‘'conflict” as it is called, be
cause these primal instincts are forc
ing you, on the one hand, to do these
"wrong” things, and your moral train
ing and the laws of the land are, on
the other hand, fighting back these in
ntlncts.
If we think about some cases we
know who have become mentally un
balanced, we find that they didn’t want
to mix much with others, wanted to do
things differently, weren't much inter
ested In other people, even friends or
Dually; in fact, didn’t want to be both
ered or "hemmed In” by rules and reg-
What are our mental Specialists try
ing to do about this type at mental un
balance er Imbalance? Ai
These physicians recognise that bu
■Mß beings win always be born with
fbtoe primal instincts-love, hate, fear
—to that to prevent insanity every

THE HARDIN TRI BUNE•H KRA L D
The Home Coming
BRISBANE
THIS WEEK
In the Age of Billions
Old Bill Did Not Know
More Land? What For?
If Suddenly Rich, What? ‘
Congress number seventy-three goes
home after appropriating for variegat
ed spending between six thousand
eight hundred and seven thousand mil
lion dollars.
No congress ever appropriated so
much in peace times.
In addition to spending about seven
thousand million dollars, this congress
guaranteed approximately seven thou
sand millions more tn home mortgages
and farm bonds and set up a two thou
sand million “stabilization fund." '
We are living in the era of “billions."
With congress gone home. President
Roosevelt is lord of all he surveys,
which is no great change. He was
pretty much that before the adjourn
ment. We have no dictator in the
United States, and shall not have one
unless something strange and unusual
happens, but the President has as
much of a dictator’s power as he
chooses to use.
Congress, with unimportant excep
tions, obeyed orders while in session,
and the country will look to the Presi
dent now to initiate and put through
whatever he chooses. That situation
probably does not suit him. It in
volves great responsibility.
“Old Bill," dead In London, was a
carrier pigeon. He carried messages
during the first year of the big war
from British army and air forces in
France and Belgium back to London,
and lost a leg. Brought back to Eng
land by an invalid soldier, he enjoyed
life for many years, and now has laud
atory "obituary notices" in English pa
pers.
“Old Bill” flew back and forth in
the big war and lost a leg without
ever knowing why he was flying or
why he had to lose that leg.
But “Old Bill" was no more ignorant
than a majority of the soldiers over
whose heads- he flew on errands that
he did not understand.
A. member of the British house of
commons suggests that, failing cash
payment, we might accept something
in the way of territory. The British
will not give up any territory if they
can hold on to It, which they can easily
do in this case.
And apart from that, what good
would it do us to acquire more ter
ritory and have some foolish congress
man insist on giving It away? We
could not possibly get from the British
anything as valuable as the Philip
pines, and we are doing our best to get
rid of them at this moment
What would you do if you suddenly
found yourself quite rich, with a pros
pect of “easy riches” to come? Mr.
Max Baer, new holder of the heavy
weight prize-fighting championship, ac
cording to the New York Evening
Journal, bought himself thirty-five new
suits of clothes, “in tan, gray and pas
tel shades.” There was a great crowd
waiting outside the tailor shop to
cheer him, and he wrote his autograph
on a one-dollar bill for a young glrL
Fame is a wonderful thing.
The young “Count of Paris,” who
might be king of France if the French
people suddenly lost their wits, be
lieves that he, so far as he knows a
direct descendant of Hugh Capet, will
soon be called to the French throne.
He says.
“You would be astonished if you
could know how weary France is of
the present regime.”
The young pretender to the throne
might be surprised if he could know
how weary France was of her kings
before she got rid of them, and how
fortunate he is that the common sense
of the French will keep him talking,
not reigning.
President Roosevelt, in a letter sent
to West Virginia, expresses satisfac
tion with the achievements of NBA.
“We have spread employment, we
have raised pay, and we are not
through yet.
“It is a notable record of recovery.
It has led the way for other nations,
and has produced widespread and, I
believe, permanent results. Certainly
we have a right to celebrate this an
niversary.”
Washington Singer, whose father in
vented a sewing machine, left a for
tune of $5,534,890 In England, where
he raced his hones. The British gov
ernment takes an “estate duty” of
about two million dollars from the
heirs. At that rate, It does not take
long for vast accumulations to melt
away, especially as “the bigger the
estate, the higher the percentage
taken.” Our government has borrowed
the idea, made necessary by a strange
faculty for spending developed by poli
ticians.
It used to be “three generations
from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves.”
It will be shorter than that now
among our prosperous ones, if deaths
come in rapid succession.
The big, dangerous steel strike is
for the time averted, thanks to the
President’s wise, unobtrusive media
tion, and thanks especially to the wise
advice given to the men by William
Green, president of the American Fpd
grntfoa ft Labor.
