dfl HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. No warning for heart attack By Lawrence Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB—I can’t seem to get the answer to my questions. I am a male, 67, 175 pounds and 5 feet 8.1 have never been in a hospi tal until two weeks ago and in general have had excel lent health; I don’t use cof fee, liquor or tobacco. Recently I felt a numbness in my arm, so I had a complete physical, brain wave tracing, electrocardi ogram and the works. I was told I was in excellent health and nothing was amiss. One day after receiving this report I suffered a heart attack and am waiting to learn if I will need a bypass operation. Wouldn’t some phase of this complete physical ex amination indicate 'me warning of a clot formation. What warning sign might be looked for in case of a future attack? Apparently numbness is not sufficient. DEAR READER-'I think I’ve heard that song before." Many people don’t seem to realize that heart disease is a "silent killer." You may not have a single symptom, even numbness, before the heart attack strikes. A healthy appearing man in his middle 40s may suddenly crumple over with chest pain and be dead in minutes. That is why people simply must have a preventive pro gram. When the first sign or symptom is an attack caus ing death, it is too late to do anything about it. Also it doesn’t make any difference what or who is at the hospital if you are dead on arrival. The best doctors and facilities in the world will not help then. The frequency of this problem is why I recom mend that all adults should learn how to aid a victim of heart attack. You simply do not know when it is going to happen, even after a good medical examination. When lb POLLY'S POINTERS Polly Cramer Suds keep the kettle black By Polly Cramer POLLY’S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY—I have an antique black iron water kettle that I would like to clean and would like to know what is best to use for this. Also what can I do to scare away the ants that come around my sink. — THELMA. DEAR THELMA—I presume you have the sort of iron kettle that our ancestors used for boiling clothes or preserving over an open fire out of doors. Wash in hot suds and put baking soda in the last rinse to help prevent rusting. Dry thoroughly. If any rust spots are now present remove them with scouring powder. If there is a heavy build-up on the outside of the kettle bum this off in your outdoor grille but do not try this in the house. Sprinkle salt around your sink with a generous hand. If this does not scare away the ants try peelings from cucumbers. When peeling one put skins where you think they enter and leave until they dry up. Both these are nice clean ways and I use the cucumber peels as a preventative measure even though I have seen no ants. —POLLY. DEAR POLLY—and Mrs. P.F.—Many years ago, perhaps 50, I learned that it was easy to fasten the rear supporters to a girdle if they were done first and then the front ones. Even at age 80 I still have no trouble doing it this way.—BERNADETTE. DEAR POLLY—To keep lettuce fresh for picnic suppers I put it in the top of a double boiler and then put a block of ice, frozen in a pint container, in the bottom of the boiler. No more wilted salads. —MRS. P.T. DEAR POLLY—To get my tennis snoes nice and white I wet them and then sprinkle a household cleanser that has bleach in it over the wet shoes and scrub with a hand brush. Rinse well and wipe dry and then put in the sun to finish the job. I have also tried this on old bras that have become dark under the arms and most of the stains come out.— ANNA.

I am sending you The Health Letter num ber 7-4, Save A Life: Heart and Lung Arrest, so you can learn more about this. More to the point, encour age someone around you to learn how, as it might save your life. Others who want this issue outlining this method can send 50 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed en velope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. I would also encourage all of my readers to contact their nearest chapter of the American Heart Association and find <,/ if they have any courses they can take in learning how to do this procedure. Numbness of the arm can be caused by many things, including bursitis and arthritis. Heart pain is more apt to be of short duration, unless it is an actual attack. The disease is actually in the artery going to the heart muscle. There is no way to see these arteries unless you do special X-ray examina tions of the type I presume you will have to see whether you need a bypass operation. The pain and findings of a heart attack are caused when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. That may not occur until the moment that the artery is blocked. Exercise tests with elec trocardiograms help to de tect those likely to have trouble. Otherwise the risk factors of increased blood cholesterol, high blood pres sure and cigarette smoking are the main things that indicate the possibility of having an attack.
