Nosebleeds Are Common
But Usually Not Serious
(Editor’s Note: This is one

your health which will appear

By the Medical Association

Nosebleeds are common med
ical ^problems. Yet, while they
are frightening and disturbing
to the person suffering the
nosebleed and those around
him, most nosebleeds are not
serious. Exceptions are prolong
ed or unusually profuse nose
bleeds.
In most cases the bleeding
starts from the veins and ar
teries in the front of the nose,
usually in the section dividing
the nostrils. The bleeding of
ten accompanies an acute in
fection or an injury in t h e
nose, violent exertion or a
chemical injury to the tissues
in the nose. Foreign bodies,
ulcers and cancerous growths
in the nose may be the cause.

Some people have nosebleeds
when they are in high altitudes.
Certain diseases — among
them hemophilia (a disease in
which a person bleeds very
freely), leukemia (a malignacy
of the blood), syphilis, tuber
culosis, certain anemias and
vitamin deficiencies — make
one prone to have nosebleeds.
In young girls, nosebleeds of
ten occur during the menstrual
period.
People with high blood pres
sure are particularly suscepti
ble to nosebleeds. In such
cases, you might compare the
bleeding nose with the safety
valve on a steam engine letting
off steam. When the pressure
gets too high and the nose
starts bleeding, the patient
should consult his doctor with
a view to lowering the pres
sure.
Immediate treatment is di
rected toward stopping the
bleeding. When the bleeding is
from the front of the nose, a
small piece of cotton may be
placed within the nostril and
left in place for a few minutes
or as long as a few hours. This
usually stops the nosebleed.
When the bleeding is slight,
pinching the nostrils together
may stop the bleeding. This
probably should be tried even
before cotton is placed in the
front of the nose. Placing a
cold wet cloth at the nostrils
may help.
If bleeding is severe, it may
be necessary to pack the nose
more extensively. Sometimes
the packing is done through the
back of the mouth and may
extend up under the soft palate.
The patient is usually placed
in a semi-recumbent or half
sitting up, half lying down po
sition as this position tends to
lessen the bleeding.
If the bleeding destroys an
enlarged blood vessel in t h e
nose, it may be necessary to
cauterize the vessel to stop the
bleeding.
Fortunately, most nosebleeds
are self-limited. The body’s
ability to cause blood to clot
stops it. But persistent nose
bleeds, particularly if they are
profuse, suggest a serious cause
and effects should be made to
find the cause so that proper
treatment can be started.
Doc MAG says:
Nosebleeds are no fun. They
are uncomfortable to have and
distressing to see. But most of
them are not serious and stop
of their own accord. Persistent
and unusually heavy nose
bleeds, however, are cause for
serious concern.

Emory-Oxford
Continued From Pacg 9
Yale or the University of Geor
gia.
Emory was named for Bishop
John Emory who set aside 320
acres of land to build the town
of Oxford around the college
campus. During the first years
the Board of Trustees number
ed only 17. but this number
has increased today to 33. and
today a year’s tuition costs S9OO.
MODERN TIMES
Mr. Bowden, in discussing
the present, quickly came to the
point to inform Emory alumni
about the most pressing pro
blem facing the Emory Board
of Trustees — the integration
question and how it is being
handled.
“Knowing that we were fac
ed with a question that could
not be ignored, a committee was
appointed in 1960 to study the
question.” Mr. Bowden said. He
also noted that no clergymen
were appointed on that com
mittee because the Trustees
did not want it to be said that
the Methodist Church dictated
whatever decision that might
be made.
“Nothing was found in t h e
Emory creed or by-laws which
restricted any person because
of race, creed, or color.” Mr.
Bowden said, “but Negroes
could not be admitted to Emom
under present Georgia law be
cause if they were Emory
would lose a state tax exemp
tion amounting to $750,000 a
year without which the Emory
system could not operate.”
“When a tax system in Geor
gia exists where Emory can
afford to operate when Negro
students are admitted, then
qualified Negro students will
not be excluded,” Bowden said.
THE FUTURE
“In the South, Emory is al
ready considered to be on the
academic level with Tulane,
Vanderbilt, and Duke, the top
colleges in this section of the
country,” Bowden said
“Emory is in the big league
as far as education is concern
ed, and the high standards that
have been maintained over
the years have built for Emory
a prestige which not only at
tracks qualified students but
also some of the best qualified
faculty members in the coun
try,” Bowden said.
Referring to specific schools,
Mr. Bowden pointed out that
Emory’s schools of dentistry,
medicine, law. theology, and
nursing need not take a back
seat to any other schools
teaching the same courses in
the nation.
In closing, Mr. Bowden said
that the recent grant of $1,300,-
000 to Emory-at-Oxford was a
vote of confidence in the work
that is being carried on at the
Junior College and that he knew
that these funds would inspire
the school to even greater
heights in the future.
BANQUET PROGRAM

Insects Kill More
Than Snakes

five years, stings from wasps, |
bees, hornets and yellow jack- .
