The average person knows little about this killer, the doc. tor explained; and it is often confused with simple heart failure. "Pulmonary disease kills in the lungs but it starts in the legs," the doctor said. "Most of the victims are hos pitalized persons. Their inac tivity, plus the primary cause of the hospitalization, slows their blood circulation, and clots often begin to form on the walls of the veins in the fleshy part of the lower leg. “When these clots break loose and travel to the small er veins in the lungs, circula tion is often halted complete ly, killing the patient," Dr. Sellett explained. Compression Prevents Clotting “A simple, well-researched method of prevention is to apply T.E.D. elastic stockings to any hospitalized patient, as is done routinely in many American hospitals. Tne com pression of the TE D. stock ings accelerates the flow of blood through the veins, pre verting clots from forming. It is as simple as that. “Tragically, most of the 50,000 people who will die of the disease this year and next will not be wearing the stockings because this precaution had not been tak en,” according to the doctor. The manufacture of TED. stockings -- and their rapid acceptance by many doctors and hospitals began with a research project in 1952 at Massachusetts Memorial Hos. pital and the Boston Univer sity School of Medicine, sup ported in part by a grant from the Hospital Products Division of the Kendall Com pany, makers of T.E.D. stock ings. In that study, doctors test ed a group of 5,426 patients, half of whom wore T.E.D. stockings, and half of whom the “control" group wore a non-elastic stocking. There were no deaths from pulmonary disease in the group wearing the T.E.D. stockings, while four persons in the control group died of the disease. In the control group also, 12 persons suffered a non-fa tal pulmonary embolism, while only two of those wear ing the elastic stockings had such embolisms. Growing Use In Hospitals Many doctors, thankful that such a simple and economic procedure can effectively com bat a major cause of death in hospitals, are now prescribing these elastic stockings for ail of their hospitalized adult pa tients. A swiftly-growing num ber of hospitals in America, now numbering about 15 per cent of all hospitals, now make the use of such stock ings mandatory for all adult patients including the hos pital where the first research into the problem produced such effective results, accord ing to Kendail officials. The newest T.E.D. stockings Are made of seamless nylon, precision-knitted ar.d engin e ® fieS to provide graduated encircling compression from ankle to knee.

RALEIGH 833-7571 RALEIGH 823-3336 SAEEiGK 833-2843 mCC TOISRIIM* For Your Heart's Sake Warns Against Sugar Intake Americans who consume some 100 pounds of sugar per year each despite hazards of overweight, coronary arterio sclerosis and dental cavities are getting a new warning. A British scientist is now directly linking sugar with heart disease, While the American Heart Association has discouraged ‘‘excessive use of sugar including candy, soft drinks and other sweets,” the Br i ton, Professor John Yudkin Yudkin, M.D., Ph. D., M.R.C.P., goes further, “Coronary heart disease,” he says, “seems to be more closely related with the level of sugar consumption than with the level of any other dietary' component. “The common belief that the level of animal fat in the diet shows the highest cor relation with heart disease is simply not valid.” Researchers have commonly settled on a diet high in saturated fat and cho lesterol as the principal cause of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The Committee on Nutri tion of the American Heart Association has warned against these dietary elements as well as excessive weight. Its published policy on dietetic dangers also recommends use of vegetables, cereals and fruits as preferable to exces sive use of sugar. Dr. Yudkin, professor of nutrition and dietetics. Queen Elizabeth College, University of London, zeroes in on sugar as the number one culprit. Experiments with young men on a sugar-rich diet and patients who had suffered attacks of coronary throm bosis led to his conclusions. The experiments with the young men convinced him that sugar is the biggest THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, NT. C . SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1969 dietary contributor to coronary heart disease, the doctor said. The subjects on a sugar rich diet showed a sharp rise of fatty acids in the blood plus an abnormally high level of insulin. He said the latter is a probable early stage in the development of coronary heart disease. Those patients who had recently suffered attacks of coronary thrombosis, he found in his studies, had been using an average of twice as much sugar as control sub jects. 'Phis was also found to be true of men suffering from peripheral vascular disease. Dr. Yudkin noted that coronary heart disease is most common in wealthy countries, in which the level of sugar consumption tends to rise. Sucrose, or table sugar in laymen’s language, has been linked by scientists for years with diabetes and dental caries. Dr. Yudkin visited the United States to lecture on his findings. He addressed a diet - heart disease seminar in Chicago and visited research operations elsewhere. Widening knowledge of the effect of sugar on weight as well as its other health hazards has stimulated fast growth of substitute prod ucts. Diet soft drinks and beverage sweeteners led the trend, but now sugar replace ment products which fill all uses for sugar, in beverages, cooking and sprinkling on fruits, etc., are being nation ally marketed. As temperatures rise and re main high at this time of year, the importance of maintaining proper conditions for the growth of your lawn increases. After prolonged dry periods, soils actually become wafer rc ststant. Try scraping your shoe across soil that has been wet ted by a fresh rain shower, for example, and you’ll find that even a l” rainfall soaks down only about Vi inch. And after the rain stops, 60% of the water in this upper soil will evaporate in one hour. To keep the lawn greer, and growing requires the proper applications of fertilizer and water, to be sure, but they must he carried down into the vital root zone or about 6" deep. The removal of thatch and aeration of soil hv mechan ical means helps some, hut these methods should be aug mented by the use of a wetting agent. 9
