R e * urn coat w't* l
V ohamelean lining
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — A couple of months ago I bought a
spring coat with a navy blue lining and now the lining is
changing color around the hem and looks orange-red. Do
you know why this happened? — MARGARET.
DEAR MARGARET — Since the color change is around
the hem it could not be from perspiration or even be caused
by exposure to sunlight. I think you should take the coat
back to the store wher it was purchased and show it to
them. There is something wrong with the fabric if it has not
been subjected to an accident of any kind. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — One of my Pet Peeves is that when I go to a
shower and the gifts are opened I see how the gift recipient has to
struggle opening the boxes that small appliances and hosewares
come in. They are usually stapled together with large staples that
are impossible to remove without pliers or a screw driver. Trying
to open them often causes broken nails, scraped knuckles and a
lot of frustration.
I think anyone giving such a gift should remove or at least
loosen such staples before wrapping the gift. Gummed tape could
be used to keep the box closed and tape is certainly easier to
remove than staples. — LUPITA.
DEAR POLLY — When washing woolen gloves I slip a round
clothespin into each finger to keep them from shrinking. They
hold their shape better and even dry faster.
Most old plastic and leather purses ars great to use for making
slippers, shoes and boots for dolls. Such material is pliable and
can be sewn on the machine.
To avoid losing my children’s gloves I sew the top of the glove
to the front of the jacket sleeve.
When storing your ironing board on end slip a paper bag over
the end on which it stands to keep the cover clean.
Cut notch marks on a pattern so that they go out rather than in
on the material. This helps prevent fraying and also allows a bit
more material if the garment has to be let out.
Wear a terry cloth apron when sewing slippery fabric. (Polly’s
note: If you do not have such an apron pin a big bath towel around
your waist.)
Sheet blankets are never long or wide enough to tuck in when
used as a bottom sheet. I pin a blanket to a fitted sheet and sew
them together with a long stitch. In summer the stitches are easi
ly removed and the sheet is used alone. — MRS. M.D.

Chest pain but
not heart attack
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB — Recent
ly, thinking I was having a
heart attack, my husband rush
ed me to the hospital. We know
that I have a heart condition,
“beginning heart failure.” I
was given oxygen, put on the
heart monitor, and an in
travenous started promptly in
the emergency room.
We were told later that I had
not had a heart attack, but that I
had gone into shock, probably
because of severe chest pain.
The cause of the pain was never
determined, but a hiatal hernia
was discovered by the X rays.
Could you explain what is going
on when a person is in shock?
Why was I kept in the inten
sive coronary care unit at the
hospital on the heart monitor
and on oxygen the whole time
(four days)? They did say that
my blood pressure had dropped
to 50, then went too high.
DEAR READER — It is wise
to put a patient with known
heart disease who develops
severe chest pain, in the
hospital for observation.
Sometimes it is not possible to
tell if a patient has had a heart
attack or not until after a
period of observation and tests.
Shock can be caused from
pain of any origin. Basically,
shock is circulatory failure,
where the heart fails to pump
enough blood or the blood is not
properly circulated. A simple
faint is a mild form of shock,
because blood is not circulated
in sufficient amounts to the
brain.
Obviously you needed treat
ment for shock, which is ample
reason to have you in a cor
onary care unit and your cir
culation monitored.
Pain induces shock through
reflex mechanisms that either
inhibit the normal beating of
the heart or tend to dilate the
blood vessels, causing the blood
pressure to fall. A simple nee
dle stick can induce fainting as
mild shock, or in rare cases
cause a deeper form of shock;
even death has been known to
follow rather simple medical
procedures in apparently
healthy individuals.
I can’t begin to tell you what
caused your chest pain. It could
have been caused by pain from
a spasm of your food tube
(esophagus) to the stomach.
This can occur from the reflux
of acid digestive juice into the
esophagus from the stomach as
part of the problem of hiatal
hernia through the diaphragm.
Proper care of hiatal hernia can
minimize this problem. If you
want to know more about hiatal
hernia, send me 50 cents and a
stamped, self-addressed
envelope in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New York,
NY 10019 and ask for The
Health Letter number 4-8, on
Hiatal Hernia.
You can have chest pain from
the heart, the esophagus or
from a sudden blood clot to the
lungs or even from a tear in the
aorta, the main artery from the
heart to the rest of the body
other than the lungs. There are
many other causes as well.
It is important for anyone
who develops sudden chest pain
to have immediate medical
attention. A large number of
deaths from heart disease oc
cur because medical help and
facilities are not available soon
enough. So, don’t procrastinate,
call your doctor or get help if
you have sudden chest pain.
