by epilepsy since his early teens.
As a young man he worked at

and construction work. Then he
enlisted in the Navy, but was
given « medical discharge after
six weeks and was not recom

cause of his affliction.
As he grew older the epileptic
seizures became worse, and he
required extesisive drugs to help
control them. He was not cap
able of holding down a job, and
his was a case that was found |
! not to be feasible for training |
'or rehabilitation. While his
parents lived, they cared for
him, and after their deaths he
mode his home with an un
married uncle and two sisters.
During one of his seizures, Mark
j fell into an open fireplace and
was severely burned, making
hospitalization necessary for sev
eral months.
j Finally, the financial resources
of his relatives were exhausted
and application was made to the
county department of public j
welfare for assistance for the
afDieted man. The uncle, now
nearly 80 years old, had given
him a home for over 12 years,
and the sisters, who had looked
after his personal needs, are

Breathe Easy—Or Know
The Reason Why!
Some startling information us
' ually gets unearthed when
groups of people start giving out
with their autobiographies. And
■ of course everybody does just
• that from time to time, whether
; in the form of an income tax
i return, a survey questionnaire, a
, job application, or an insurance
benefit bid. A
Not long ago, wheh disabled
persons were declared eligible
for Social Security benefits re
gardless of age, the resulting ap
plications touched off a medical
surprise. A disease few people
had ever heard of, and prac
tically nobody could pronounce
was found to be the second
ranking ailment among all those
listed as causes of disability.
This unpleasant little item, a
lung disease called emphysema,
affects chiefly men over 50. As
it progresses, it results in the
obstruction of air spaces in the
iung, causing severe difficulty in
breathing. The condition comes
on gradually, and at first may
take the form of a slight short
ness of breath 'that is mild but
disproportionate to any physical!

effort expanded. Eventually,, it
can progress to. a. point wtiere
the' affected person is short of
breath on waking up In the
m the morning. * »
As a matter of fact, shortness
of breath that comes after no
special exertion can be a sign
not only of emphysema but of
any one of a number of ail
ments in the group called ROm
Respiratory Disease. Shortness
of breath may seem a tri vial dis
comfort, easy to brush aside with
excuses and a hope that it will
go away and stay away. And
yet, if not investigated, it can
turn out to fit the slogan made
popular by Milt Gross, satirist of
a generation ago: “‘From 1 this
come the worse diseases.” <
