As a consequence, the diseases of aging, such as hardening of the arteries, heart disorders, and can cer are increasingly the causes of death. Now the task of medical science is to combat these diseases so that we may enjoy this longer life. The battle against angina ♦-- ' "Z pectoris, an illness which in cresses beyond middle age, is one example in which a new, partial victory haa recently been won. | The meaning of angina pec toris is simply pain in the chest. It is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries, which cuts down the flow of blood nourish ing the heart muscle. In this con dition, exercise which places ex tra demands on the heart causes pain. In severe cases, climbing stairs, walking against the wind, digesting a heavy meal, or emo tional excitement may bring on an attack. Occasionally the pain of an an ginal attack can be extraordinar ily severe. A French physician in the early nineteenth century com pared it to "iron nails or the claw of an animal tearing asun der the front of the chest/' More often the pain ia described as a oqueeting, crushing or vise-like sensation. It may be felt in the chest, heart, neck, left shoulder and arm, or upper stomach. Angina pectoris was first treat ad in the eighteenth century with nereotiea and alcohol and, later, with Inhalation of chloroform. None prevented or halted on at tack, they merely deadened the pain. The first real victory over an gina was won In 1887 when a Scotch physician used nltrogly oarln, tha common explosive, to treat an attack. Later It was dla fovorod that tha esplesiva'a ef fectiveness was due to Its tem porary ability to dilate tha ar ea rise that feed the heart, not only relieving pain but stopping, UJ or preventing, an attack. How. ever, the effect of nitroglycerin is only temporary, seldom lasting longer than a few minutes. A new drug, derived from an explosive of the same family, was developed several years ago. Perl trate, as the drug is called, gives longer lasting relief - up to four or six hours. This advance has now been followed by the intro duction of an even newer "sus tained action" form of Perltrate which providea round-the-clock protection against attacks of an gina liectoris with only two tab let# daily. In its new fonn, the drug is contained In a special was base which grsdumlly dissolves over a twelve-hour period. To the four million Americans -most are past middle age - who suffer from angina pectoris, this new development promises lees pstn and granter activity - morn enjoyment *f their later years.

Most medical men agree that these agents are of value in treating mentally and emotionally disturbed Pe0Plei ^ thov also warn that they should not be used indiscriminately. %e use of drugs for treating the mentally ill is not a new concept, although only since the develop- u i ment of the tranquilizing drugs has this form of therapy gained wide usage. Previously the most widely used drugs for this pur pose were the barbiturates and bromides, which are actually de pressants and not ideal. The dif ficulty is they tend to keep the patient in a profound state of sedation that often renders him helpless. The tranquilizers, on the other hand, tend to lessen fears and anxieties that bother the patient, bringing him to a more calm state, without clouding the con sciousness. The patient in this state is far more receptive to other therapy necessary for ef fecting a cure. Medical science, however, still has a lot to learn about tranquilizers-exactly how they work and on what part of the brain. I The tranquilizing drugs have fallen into two widely accepted classifications: 1) those more ef fective in major psychiatric dis orders for which the patient is usually institutionalized, and 2) ‘those useful mainly In neuroses ;and minor functional disturban ces, such as everyday tensions and anxieties. The latter are treated by a physician or psy chiatrist while the patient con tinues his normal activities. Trilafon, a new and extremely versatile tranquilizer, was recent ly introduced by Schering Cor poration. By varying the dosage of this potent drug the doctor can treat any degree of emotional or mental disturbance, thus per mitting use of one drug for tha full-range of therapeutic indica-, tions, Schering warns, however, that you should not take any tranquilizer except on specific orders of a doctor or psychiatrist* Aside from the mental and emotional conditions cited above, many doctors successfully use tranquilizers in the treatment of epilepsy, alcoholism, mental prob lems of the aged, disturbed chili dren, surgical shock, nausea and vomiting, heart disease, higlv blood pressure, among other con ditions. , . . . . Your doctor or psychiatrist can determine by careful exam ination whether you should b# taking a tranquilizer. Your prob lem may best be remedied by^ other types of therapy. > _ 1957 Vintage Queen Chosen Here's an Irresistible combination: A lovely girl, a bountiful Vintage and quality wines from America's Wine Land—the State of California.
