PAGE TWO Injection Treatment for Varicose Veins Dr. Clendening Regards It as a Great Boon to Sufferers from Ailment By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. IN SPEAKING of the arteries in the last few articles this week, we noted that they are inclined to lose their elasticity with the advance of age. The same thing is true, in away, of the veins, the companion vessels of the arteries which return the blood to the heart. The vein wall may become chalky and weak, and the vein valves may break down. This is particularly likely to occur in the veins of the legs. The condi tion is called varicose veins. It is commonly said that the veins of the legs become varicosed because the blood column there is longest and its weight breaks down the valves in the veins. It is also said that the condition is commonest in people who stand on their feet a great part of the day, such as clerks in stores. Filled With Lime But it has been my observation that the varicose veins I have ex amined after removal by operation are quite stiff and filled with lime deposits. I am inclined to believe it is this change as much as the me chanical strain which brings on varicosities. The condition is quite common. I should say that 40 per cent of those over 50 years of age have some amount of it. As for the occupa tional incidence among those who work on their feet, some of the worst cases I have ever seen have oc curred in those who have been on their feet only at the rarest inter vals and under the direst necessity. The veins bring the blood back to the heart simply by the crowding of more blood from behind. There is no pump action from the heart to force the venous blood on. There HAVE ANY TROUBLE GETTING TO SLEEP? By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. I HAVE FOUND a little book called “Sleep”, by Ray Giles, quite amusing. I don’t know whether reading it will improve anyone’s insomnia, but at least it collects a large number of experiences. It stresses the physical aids to sleep rather than the psychological aspects of the question. In my ex perience the psychological reasons for insomnia are the more impor tant, but I will repeat some of the other remedies which Mr. Giles gives. Getting the skin well aired is a method which has the authority of Benjamin Franklin. He and John Adams were sleeping together when John woke up and found Ben walk ing up and down the cold room in the nude. Ben said he had found it well nigh a specific for inducing sleep. Exercise Has Fans Exercise before retiring has many advocates. “You never saw a sleep less ditch digger,” said Arthur Mc- Govern, author of “The Secret of Keeping Fit”. An accountant ex plains the effect of his nightly walks thus: “My walks at night are pri marily to ease the tension I find all over my body from desk work. First I step outside and imagine myself a huge Newfoundland dog just get ting out of the water. I shake my self all over as though trying to get dry. As I walk the street (I live in a very quiet neighborhood where I can act foolish without being seen), I begin to pull, wiggle, twist and otherwise contort those muscles which feel tied in knots. By the time I am back home I feel as limp as a kitten.” Common Mistakes Asked to give the three common est mistakes made about sleeping, Norman Dine, manager of Lewis and Conger’s Sleep Shop, answered: 1. Too many married people, who sleep in the same bed, have only 54 inches of width to divide between Second Crash Halts Papana Captain Alexander Papana (in white), Rumanian aviator, and his flying companion, Max Constant (left), are shown at Miami, Fla., after their twin-motored ship crashed in the take-off for Curacao, Dutch West Indies, on the second leg of their projected flight to Rumania. The plane crashed once before at Hartford, Conn., during preparatory trip some months ago. (Central Preee) fore nature has provided valves so as to hold a column of blood until it is crowded upward. When these valves break down, the veins are swollen at that point and become tortuous. * Old Treatment Formerly the only measures of treatment available were wearing an elastic stocking and operation. In addition to those, there has now been developed the method of injec tion which is a great boon to many patients. “The principle of the injection method,” writes Dr. Otto Meyer, of New York, in the magazine Health and Wealth, “is to inject a non poisonous solution into the varicose veins. This causes them to shrink (be obliterated). The inner wall of the vein swells ail around, meets in the middle of the opening and grows completely together.” The? 0 can be given in the docou - & oihee, and it has not been found necessary to rest after the treatment. The patient can go about the ordinary duties right away. No general anaesthetic is re quired. The length of time required for cure in a favorable case is about two to six months. There are no scars if the technique has been suc cessful. Altogether, in proper cases, it is a real boon on every count. EDITOR’S NOTE: Seven pamphlets by Dr. Clendening can now be obtained by sending 10 cents in coin, for each, and a self-addressed envelope stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr. Lofran Clenden ing. in care of this paper. The pamphlets are: “Three Weeks’ Reducing Diet”, “In digestion and Constipation”. “Reducing and Gaining”. “Infant Feeding”, “In structions for the Treatment of Diabetes”. “Feminine Hygiene” and “The Care of the Hair and Skin”, them. There should be 39 inches of space for each sleeper. 2. Some beds are entirely too short for the sleeper. Your mattress should be fully six inches longer than you are. 3. Most people do not prepare themselves for sleep by relaxing and other means. They throw them selves down on their beds while over-fatigued, falling off to sleep quickly perhaps, but rising still Dr. Clendening will answer questions of general interest ' only, and then only through his column. tired and not genuinely refreshed. Positions which induce sleep vary from person to person. Struthers Burt, the author, loves to sleep sit ting up in chairs and in other queer positions. William Seabrooke “can sleep on my belly like a dog on the hard ground almost as well as in the best bed, and I can sleep in the daylight almost as well as in the dark. Probably due to the war, plus living with Arabs.” QUESTIONS FROM READERS 1 T.: “Will bad enlarged adenoids cause swelling of the eyelids and severe headaches?” Answer: Adenoids will cause lots of things. Why not have them removed? G. O. A.: “Please tell me where I can secure nicotinic acid for pel lagra. Also tell me where I can get Vitamin D and E extracts.” Answer: Doctors are using nico tinic acid now very widely. All drug stores sell extracts of the vitamins. H. O. C.: “Will you please ad vise in your cc' imn what to do for cracking of the joints of the ankles?” Answer: The thing to do is not to worry about it. It has no sig nificance and everybody, especially after the age of forty, has some «f it HENDERSON, (N.
