A middle-aged woman consulted

swallowing; she had the feeling that when the food going down the tube (esophagus) almost reach- ed the stomach, there seemed to be some obstruction there. Know- ing the patient was under a strain, the physician took her immediately to the X-ray department of nearest hospital. There he gave her some barium by mouth and by means of the fluoroscope and with the aid of a mirror. she was able to watch the barium go down the es- ophagus and with a very slight delay go into the stomach. I-le ex- plained to the patient that her nervous strain caused a spasm at lower end of the wophagus ne.-ii the heart and this condition was therefore called cardiospasm - "heartburn!"

As there are many persons who suffer with cardiospasm, even con- sulting surgeons to have the "ob- struction" removed. Dr. P. P Vinson. Medical College of Virginia. Professor, of Bronchoscopy. Eso- phagostomy, and Gastroscopy (bronchial tubes, esophagus and stomach) states, in Post Graduate Medicine, that surgery to' correct cardiospasm is seldom necessary as it can be corrected by simply di- lating or widening the esophagus! by means of sounds.

"Since 1923, in his experience and that of his asociates there has been no fatality associated with the treatment of cardi asm. The treatment group represents proh- nbly 1.500 to 2.000 cases in which dilation of the esophagus was done. There is little or no symp- toms caused by the dilating of the esophagus and patients are rarely hospitalized.

"About '15 per cent of all patients with cardiospasm can be completely or almost completely relieved by dilating the lower or cardiac end of

aq. If you are a member of a group of persons and one of them begins a story you have already heard, isn't it the polite thing to tell that person so immediately?

A. Not at all! It is exceeding- ly rude both to the story-teller and to those who may not have heard the story before. You will show much better breeding if you appear interested and act as though you had not already heard the story.

Q. Instead of saying "How do you do," when being introduced. isn't it all right merely to speak the name of the person, as, "Mr. Wilson"?

A. This sounds Just a little on the inadequate side. It is better to employ the usual form, "How do you do."

. Should a wife receive her husbands guests at a stag party?

A. It is better not. This is an "ail-man party" the husband I! the host, and he should certainly be the one to receive his.guests.

AFFAIRS of more than passing significance may come up for par- ticularly shrewd and wise consider- ntion, in which strange or intrigu- ing factors clll for lultra-careful handling. Wth an optimistic urge to plunge, to gamble, to overshoot the mark in the way of generosity or good will, caution is advised. It might be in line to make decisions on investments, loans, perhaps on charitable enterprises, under a de- sire to please or impress some

feminine influence. Appeals to ideals, emotions or subtle lures could inspire over-inflationary

ideas, perhaps incite to extravag- ance or unjustified use of funds.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are on a verge of a situation in which I seemingly judicious, studied and sound base of action may mask a temptation to inflationary or gamb- ling indulgences. possibly incited by feminine, domestic, perhaps charitable or cultural enticemenis. This could not promise dividends. or give materiel returns. though there might be certain tempting or alluring considerations by way of "compensation." In all instances, let sound judgment, economic security or other factors frame the course of action. some singular appeal or contact may Actuate un- Ezise decisions. inspire queer eon-
