SMITH’S PHARMACY JAMES T. SMITH, Pharmacist “PRESCRIPTIONS FIRST'' Butler, Georgia Emphysema Is More Common (Editor’s Note: This is one in a series of articles about your health which will appear in The Taylor County News as a public service feature.) By The Medical Association of Georgia Emphysema is a condition in which the little cells in the lungs are dilated and the walls are over-distended. You might think of it as a ballooning of the lungs. It is becoming more and more common and a greater hazard to health. People who have emphysema to a significant degree can be easily recognized. They are barrel-chested, short of breath and have a chronic cough. The disease is six times more com mon in men than in women and is usually found in a man past 40 who smokes or is asthmatic. Although emphysema is not contagious, it tends to "run” in familes. The fact that emphysema— already more common than tuberculosis and cancer of the lungs—seems to be increasing rapidly can perhaps be explain ed in several ways. For one thing, the number of persons in the older age groups in the United States is increasing. We know that aging causes some loss of elasticity in the lungs and that this allows the tiny cells or pockets todilate. When one of these pockets dilates it crowds out a normal lung poc ket. Eventually there are only a relatively few large pockets instead of about 750,000,000 tiny pockets. The fewer large pockets can’t absorb as much oxygen from the air as the more numerous small pockets, A second probable cause of the increase is that Americans today are subjected to or sub ject themselves to more irri tants whichcause them tocough. It has been suggested that be cause the air we breathe is less pure, we have more bronchitis today than heretofore—despite the miracle drugs. Smoking has also been implicated. It’s been said that smoking one pack of cigarettes a day is worse than living in smog. According to some authorities, ninety- five per cent of the people with emphysema are heavy smokers. When smoking is added to breathing smog-filled air, bronchitis and emphysema are to be expected. Recent studies in Los Angeles showed that 30 ton of sulfur dioxide and 1200 tons of hydro carbons from factories and cars are dumped into the air each day. It's been said that city dwellers who smoke and breathe unclean air are the most likely candidates for emphysema. A third suggested cause for the emphysema increase is that some respiratory illnesses— asthma, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pneumoniosis- and certain types of heart disease are increasing and since emphysema is ofen a jtfs we anticipate the future and its promise of new accomplishments, we also reflect on the past and the feeling of well-being we have enjoyed in our community. It is with sincerest thanks to our loyal friends and customers that we wish happiness in the New Year to all (goo&rn? Appltanrr (Eompattg REYNOLDS. DA. Miss Foster Weds Mr. Turner At Grace Methodist Church The Grace Methodist Church of Atlanta formed the setting for the wedding of Miss Helen Foster of Statham and Atlanta to Mr. Bailey Turner of Thomaston and Atlanta.

C.; Glenn Martin and Terrell Hurst of Atlanta. Miss jane McClain of Atlanta complication of these condi tions, it too is increasing. Changes in the lungs due to emphysema are irreversisble but the disease can be arrest ed and treated. The most im portant part of treatment is really prevention. Everyone recognize the danger of a chronic cough. It rnay be a warning of or the first sign of emphysema. Medicines, sprays, antibiotics and exer cises will help keep the lungs clean, relieve the spasm and pressure of the small pockets. The resulting improvement in the function of the lungs wards off further damage. served as maid oi honor.
