Pediatric and Dhvoholoclcal ex- perts report French infants are probably the "most admired, pet- ted and pampered" in the world. There are so few of them-hence the packed crowd: around the stands at the "salon Dtmnfance.”

spirit of enterjprise in carrying them out, may yield profitable re- lsulta this day. In fact, original and lirnagimative projects of every type are in high favor. Socially, for in- stance, a novel form of entertain- ment could bring you increased prestige and popularity and. in business, unusual innovations should meet with the hearty en- dorsement. of both superiors and associates.

The evening hours are excellent for family and domestic matters and are also fine for community projects and functions planned for the benefit of charitable organiz-

ations. For the Birthday

”If tomorrow is your birthday. you will find in the period immediately ahead that you have mam! friends and well-wlshers ready to encour- age and aid you in putting over cherished plans and projects. And. since your imagination and spirit of enterprise should be at their peak during this same period, your pros- pects for achieving your goal are better than they have been.

There may be some tension in your household during February. but if you will repress the moods and attitudes that you know. from experience, aggravate such situations, these tensions should quickly evaporate. Travel is not particularly favored until late spring or early summer. but social affairs should be at their liveliest for some time to come.

A child born on this day will be imaginative, versatile and ambi- tious for power.

MORE ABOUT LPITLE STRDKES. BRAIN STROKES. APUPLEXY

some months ago I quoted Dr. Walter C. Alvarez. Mayo Clinic. who stated that many men and women had little strokes of brain and heart (apqplexy and coronary thrombosis) but rGO0VGK9d almost immediately so that these strokes pased unnoticed by the patient. family, and sometimes the physic- ia.n. In Geriatrics, the medical magazine for the elderly, of which Dr. Alvarez is the editor. he again calls attention to "the little strokes." "In spite of the fact that the paper on little strokes published in the first volume of Geriatrics was widely read and well accepted by many physicians, this extremely common and perhaps most import- ant disease of the aged is as yet rarely mentioned in books and journals. and is still seldom diag- nosed. In most cases seen today, the diagnosis made is coronary heart disease and this, in spite of the fact that repeated electrocardiograms (tracings of the movements of the heart) are essentially normal, that there is no angina (breast pain) on effort, and the symptoms after re- covery from the acute attack are those. not of heart disease, but of injury to the brain." Dr. Alvarez mentions the various diagnoses - liver disease, gall- stones, spastlc colon - that were made by physicians instead of the true diagnosis -- a little brain stroke. What is to be done in cases of little brain strokes so hat fam- ily and physician will give the pat- lent the proper treatment? Dr. Alvarez states that when- ever a person past 50. who always was well before, carries in com- plaining of not feeling fit. of hav- ing forcing himself to work, or of having spells when there is a. little uncertainty as to body balance, a. really careful his- tory should be taken to see if the trouble came suddenly on a certain day. often. if asked. the patient will say. "Yes. I tlhovught I was having a little stroke." If the family is asked. usually the wife will often tell of a great change in personality .- irritabil- ity. discourtesy, perhaps over-emo- tionallam - unusual in the patient before, loss of memory and a. de- cided and sudden aging. The pat- ient and family will admit that the patient has aged years in a matter of days or weeks.

"The wife will often bring out the story of two or three other little strokes which pulled the patient down a. bit."

I believe that the fact that Dr. Alvarez had to call our attention to these little strokes twice within a few months should make us give full attention to these little brain strokes so that the patient will get the rest. and treatment, medical and mental. necessary following brain stroku. Further . this full recognition of a brain stroke. how- ever lnsll. may prevent serious mistakes in diagnosis.
