TREATMENT OF CONGESTIVEI HEART FAILURE

As medical students studying heart disease. most of our time was spent in determining the muscular

True success Story

By F. l. MacArthur

Thomas Vincent Grant was born on a farm near Peakes Station. Prince Edward Island on Decem- ber 31.1878. His father, Allan Grant. and his mother. Mary Fish- er. came of good solid English and 590” flncellry. though both were Canadian born and pioneers of this Province.

Young Grant received his prim- ary education in the district school atA Cardigan High School and Prince of Wale College.

His first venture in the profes- sional field was teaching school at Morell from 1898-1901. Then he wrote the Civil Service Exams. and obtained a job with the Post Of- !ice in Charlottetown. serving in the dual capacity of Railway and Post Office Clerk until i907.

The following year. he sold in- surance for the Mutual Life of Canada and dreamed dreams of one day becoming a Medical Doc- tor. Teaching school was a thank- less job with poor pay. selling in- surance was betier. but not good enough for this ambitious young man who wanted to get ahead in life. Five years later, his dream of becoming a medlco came true, though it was not realized with- out ioil and tears for the once poor farm boy had to do a lot of phys- ical and mental slugging before he was able fo return in his na- tive Island proudly carryirlg his diploma which bore the magic words Thomas Vincent Grant.

Today we do not rcad or hear: much about lack of strength of ihe Il031”l: we hear raihcr about its failure to completely empty it'll self with each beat. and ii failure" to send blood tn sufficient quan- ities to all parts of the body This is called congestive heart failure. In "Medical Clinics of North America." Drs. William D. Sirolld. Professor of Cardiology, UfllVCl'-q

School of Medicine and Morris W.

Siroud. Associate of Medicinal, stale that heart failure as shown by. decreased emptying ls ihe under-. lying cause for the appearance ofl congestive failure. but the dccrcasei in the flow of blood to and fromi the kidneys raus.ng incompie'.e' filteration or filtering of wastes or

poisons from the blood. causes: salt to be kept in the tissues in-' stead of being thrown out of ihe! body in the urine. Salt. remain-; ing in the tissues. causes swelling

because salt holds 70 times its

weight of water in the tissues.

"Thus we must not only use any; means available to sirengthen the. muscular walls of the heart and

reduce its work," they point out'.

"but we must also decrease the. amount of salt eaten. and decrease

the excess salt already in the cir-' culation."

Further. it should be remember- ed that not all patients who wheeze or show swelling of feet and legs have congestive heart failure; chronic lung. leg. liver disease and underaciive thyroid gland can cause wheezing and swelling legs.

In general. besides ihe usual treatment by diet, digitalis and diuretics (drugs that drive water out of the tissues). handling of the individual himself and his part- icular symptoms is the first object in treatment. if attack of heart failure comes on suddenly and is severe. patient should be placed in hospital and assured that all will be well, and his family assured also.

The patient should be kept as near a sitting position as possible. Eighteen-inch blocks under the post: at the head of the bed can be used. Some patients prefer an armchair. and I commode is more effective than a bed pan. The cathartic to which patient is accus- tomed is given, but no sallnes (Ep- som salts). The patient is allowed up for I short time or iimu daily and is sent home in seven to 14 days if no complications arise.

Why Worry About Your Heart?

The young doctor first prac'Ecr-d ai Cardigan, then at Vernon River. and laier at Moniague. where he silll coniinucs lo make his home.

On October 27. 1902. Dr. Grant married Miss Minnie Donovan. the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Donovan of Morell. To tats union was born i3 children. all of whom received a fine education and today fill important posu in the professional field. In this in- icresfing group may be counted three medical doctors. one dcniisi. .'our nursing sisters. two younger brothers attending the Univcrsiiy of Montreal. and Sister Vincent de Paul. a registered druggist and pharmacist at ihe Charlottelown Hospital. The younger daughter is a laboratory technician.

To raise and cducaic a family of thii-tccn in this age is quite an achievement in itself but somehow the Doctor and his good wife man- aged it.

Getiing back lo the Docior him- self. we find him Medical Cor- oner for King's County in 1920. From 1921-i930, he was secretary- ireasurer of the Liberal Associa- tion of King's County Board of Trade. In 1927, he was elected to the Prince Edward Island Legis- lature and one year later he be- came a Minister in the Provincial Government. In 1930. he was nom- inated for the House of Commons but went down to defeat. But five years later. he was elected with a majority of 2,385 votes. He was re-elected in 1940 and again in 1945.

Dr. Grant was appointed to ihe Canadian Senate in June 25. 1949.

0 O I

Senator Grant has experienced many ups and downs in his long and colorful life and can tell some interesting tales. He is most fond of recalling the following amusing anecdote: Back in 1929, when the Liberal party held a convention to nomin- ate a candidate to contest the 1930 Federal election, five men were in the running. Speculation was rife as to which of the five woui:i be chosen. About this time the Doctor met a certain Scotsman in Lorne Valley who said. "Do you know, Doctor. I think you're go- ing to win because the other day I had a chat with some of the dei- egates and they all agreed that you are a clever man - and I never told them the difference."

Senator Grant says he just can't get used to people not calling him Doctor. To his close friends. he is plain "Tom". the same genial fei- low he has always been as he has climbed the ladder of success and. strange to relaie. the Senator be-

"I believe such organizations lend to segregate rather than unite societies." He resents the words "self-made" and thinks that Lady Luck is just a myth. though he is a aelf-made man himself.

Unromanii:-Couple Haggle Over Who Pay: For What

DEAR MISS DIX:

joint account. buy household necessities, such as linens. lamps. dishes. etc.. the balance of her money to be left in her own personal account. The man contends that

iertalnmeni. he should be reimbursed by his future wife and have her donate her life's savings to ihe Great Cause. His expenses before marriage amount to , far more than the woman's. He pays for the furni- ture, which costs more than the linens. etc. The girl asserts that she will not divulge the amount of her savings to her husband and will keep it in her personal account.

X. Y. Z.

ANSWER: Is this the altitude of modern young people toward marriage? I'm asking you. For frankly it makes a sentimental old- iimer. such as I am. shudder.

CAN'T BE MUCH IN LOVE

It does not seem to me that a couple can be very much in love who haggie over who-should-pay-for-what in setting up their first home. Nor that they have any faith in each other if neither one can trust ihe other to do the generous thing. I should say that they are thinking more of their pocketbooks than they are of their hearts and that there was a small chance of happiness for a husband and wife who are trying to drive hard bargain: with each other and each striv- ing to get the best of the transaction.

But. of course, if you feel that finance cut: more figure than ro- mance in marriage. then you are very wise to settle the money pro- blem before you get married. Furnishing the house has always been the man's responsibility as he is supposed to be the head of ii. and the common usage is for the bride to supply only the household lin- ens and such small articles as she chooses. But this presupposes the old-fashioned marriage in which the lovebirds were more concerned in building their nests than they were in holding out on each other. As .1 general thing. a joint checking account is a good way for a husband and wife to keep their money, but perhaps each one of you had better hold on lo your own if you believe your prospective hus- band or wife to be capable of grafting.

DEAR MISS DIX: My sister-in-law and I are having a dispute as to who should take care of an old father and mother who are not capable of taking care of themselves. There are five children in the family. two sons and three daughters. all married and all the hus- bands working. Please give us your point of view.

ANXIOUS ANSii'Eli: The five children should take care of Ihcir old parents in rotation. Each should do his or her share. It is just as much the

duty of one child as it is of the other.

I do not think that anything is more contemptible and meaner than the way in which some children duck all of their responsibility towllrd their old fathers and mothers and pass the buck to some sister or brother. Yet you see this happen every day. and Father -lpd Mother are wished off on some one son or daughter while the others wash their hands of them.

Now nearly all old people are trying to live with, They are cranky. They have peculiar little ways. They are bossy and critical. They tell the same stories over and over again. They interfere in the way 'you raise the children and how you run your house. This gets on the stout- est nerves if you have it day in and day out. year after year.

But ihose who are unwilling to do ihelr duty toward their old pa- rents may well remember that before many years they also will be old. and will be knocking at their children's door. And they will not wish their children to begrudge them a place by the fire and a seat at their tables.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Should we as a nation have a uniform marriage and divorce law? V. E. C.

ANSWER: I think so. It. seems incredible that in a country as civilized and intelligent as ours that we should have a crazy patchwork of laws that makes it possible for people to be legally married in one state and blgamists in another. and that makes their children legiti- mate in one place and illegitimate in another.
