Baechler, President of the Goderich Manufacturing Com- patty, whose factory was partially des- troyed by fire early Thursday, stated. Sonne thirty mien were thrown out of A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE NNSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA SHORT OF BREATH Undercertain circumstances, it is quite natural and normal to be short of breath. When you have spent your money, you are short of cash until you can earn more; having spent your breath in some unusual physical ace tivity, youare short of breath .rnt'i1 you have had time to take in more air. Normally, we breathe at a rate of about eighteen or twenty tines a min- ute. Ordinarily, we are not conscious of breathing, as we continue to in- spire and exhale in an autoinatic way. It is only when we think about it, or when we :become breathless, that we are aware of the rising and falling of the chest as the air is taken. in or passed out, Carbon dioxide, a .waste product of all activities of the body, it got rid of through the ltengs. Any increase of carbon dioxide in the blood, such as would result' front physical activity, augments the gate : and depth of breathing in the efforts to ,eliminate it. It follows that when We are asleep with body activities at their lowest,' then it is that breathing is -host quiet. We may say that there are two types of shortness of breath. One physiological or normal, which follows upons some active work or play; the other pathological or abnormal, which follows upon some mild exertion that ordinarily would not cause dysponea or shortness of breath. The important question to be an- swered in each case is: Why has this. condition developed? What is the cause? Now, we know that disease of the heart may be responsible; we also know that overweight, kidney disease, or disease of the arteries may be.men- tioned as some of the possible causes. It is not to be thought that every Person who finds himself or herself breathless has something definitely. wrong. On the other hand, if it is found that ordinary walking causes some increase in the rate of breath- ing, or that walking up a flight of stairs means a gasp or two, that is• certainly not normal. If you are, by chance, short of breath, do not try and diagnose your own case and give needless worry to yourself and your friends. Perhaps there is nothing wrong except that you are overweight, and the fat in and around your heart is interfering with its work. The one sensible thing to do is to find out if there is anything wrong, andif there is, toset abnut: ;correcting it through proper care and treatment.
