Swift and terrible as a sword-thrust is angina pectoris. Disease or degeneration may narrow the blood vessels which supply the heart, or a tiny clot dam one of them. Then, usually with exertion or emotion, excruciating pain stabs the heart, radiates through the chest, shoots down the left arm. With the pain comes a feeling of suffocation, an anguished sense of impending death. Sometimes Death comes with the first attack; sometimes, as it did to Banker Otto H. Kahn last week (see p. 63), after many...
...Manhattan, day Banker Kahn died, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology heard Boston's Drs. Herrmann Ludwig Blumgart and David Daniel Berlin tell how they had effected ''striking relief" from angina. A thyroid gland secretion regulates the rate at which the body converts food and oxygen into energy (metabolism). Drs.

Functioning normally at a lower level, the heart was not balked when called on for extra work. Not one of the 20 patients has since been wracked...

Comedy is the keynote of the 1934 Follies. As a New York Mayor in the reviewing stand, Willie Howard notes the absence of photographers ("Is Eleanor Roosevelt in town?"), the Republican delegation ("Where is he?"), the marching bankers with "angina Pecora." But the show belongs mostly to Miss Brice. Older and heavier, she uses her kangaroo lollop and wry mouth as trademarks for a great human personality. All her songs are written by her third husband, Billy Rose. In a pinafore she repeats her radio performance of "Snooks," the problem child of a George Washington descendant who tries to cure...
