T r y everyday glue
to fix broken vase
1 r x
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — A large blue vase I always used for
cut flowers was dropped and broken in half. This was a
clean break, so I tried to paste it together with ready
mixed concrete. Itdidn’t hold so I would like to know
what to mix with the concrete to make it stick.
- NORA.
DEAR NORA — I have no idea what you could mix
with the concrete. Why not clean it off and then fasten
the two pieces together with that popular all-purpose
milky white glue. This scarcely shows when carefully
used and clamped together tightly until it dries. To use
it for flowers in water search around for a container
that will fit inside the vase to hold the water. A milk bot
tle, large ice cream container or a cheap glass vase are
possibilities. —POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — We had great luck cleaning the interior
walls of our fireplace with a spray-on oven cleaner. The
builder had blackened the walls by building a big fire and this
worked well. — MR. J.D.H.
DEAR POLLY — I do hope manufacturers read and heed
our Pet Peeves, and will eventually comply with some of the
consumer’s needs. I hope the day will come when every couch
and davenport seat will flip up and disclose much needed
storage space beneath it.
Also I have learned a lesson. Hereafter will ask those who
print name and address labels to spell out the name of our
state. Recently we have had mail come that had first been
mis-sent to towns of the same name in North Carolina and
Missouri. We live in North Dakota. —MRS.E.
<
DEAR POLLY — Many of us dp not realize how much sham
poo is left in those tubes you cannot see through, after you
think you have squeezed out the last bit. I slit such a tube
toward the top and was surprised at all that remained. I put
this remaining shampoo in a plastic bag, and later used it to
scrub my husband’s shirt collars before washing them.
—D.H.E.

Dr. Lamb
Fluttering heart
makes her nervous
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am
at my wits end and I only hope
you can help me. You are the
last hope. I am 32 years old
and the mother of three boys.
I am supposedly in good
health, but something is out of
whack and I have just about
given up on life due to this
whatever it is.
For a couple of years now
whenever I run, get excited,
happy, sad or whatever the
situation calls for, or I go up a
flight of stairs, and even when
I eat and the food starts to
digest my heart goes nuts. It
gives a big, forceful bang and
then it beats so fast
afterwards that I almost
faint. I get sick to my stomach
after it hits me and I feel very
tired.
Even if I reach a climax,
bang it goes and I get very
sick to my stomach, dizzy and
faint. It’s nearly ruining my
life. I have had cardiograms
and of course the darned thing
never does it then and the doc
tor says my cardiogram is
normal. I have to get up slow
ly after I have sat or slept for
awhile or I get hit with it and
almost faint. I feel as if I am
100 years old. I want to enjoy
life but I am afraid to move
let alone live as I should at my
age.
How much can the heart
take of that business before it
stops? That's how it feels, it’s
like there is a second before it
beats again after that power
ful thrust and then it beats
like crazy for a few seconds
and then slows down till the
next episode I do not smoke.
DEAR READER - Your
story sounds very much like
what doctors call paroxysmal
tachycardia. These are at
tacks of sudden, rapid beating
of the heart. The onset is
usually sudden and they may
stop just as suddenly. Some of
these attacks can be stopped
by breath holding, gagging or
pressure on one of the arteries
of the neck. I do not advise
this last procedure for anyone
who is not trained in the
technique.
There are ways of monitor
ing a person’s heart over a
period of time and during dai
ly activity. Individuals with
recurrent, attacks but never in
the doctor’s office are
sometimes tested in this way.
The electrodes are placed on
the chest and the person
carries a leather case about
the size of a large camera
case with a small tape
recorder in it. The elctrocar
diogram is recorded on tape
for as long as a day. This can
then be played back in the doc
tor’s office and he can see
what the episodes were that
you were having. Once he has
documented exactly what the
attacks are he can better
decide what form of treat
ment should be used.
Individuals with such at
tacks need a complete
medical examination. These
attacks can be caused by
many things including an
overactive thyroid. Recurrent
attacks can often be con
trolled with medicines that
decrease the irritability of the
heart. The choice of the best
medicine is often based on
identifying which type of
rapid heart action is present.
There are several different
types. For more information
on types of rapid heart action
send 50 cents for The Health
Letter, number 6-12, Heart
Irregularities, Skipped Beats,
Tachycardia. Send a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P.O. Box 326,
San Antonio, Texas 78292.
That’s why it is helpful to
document them. If they can’t
be documented easily and
they still occur regularly
some of the same medicines
can be used anyway, often
with considerable success.
One of the time honored
medicines used for this pur
pose is Quinidine.
