Andrew F. Currier, M. D. discusses acute and chronic myocarditis, its infectious causes, and potential fatal outcomes. The piece covers symptoms such as fever, chest pain, rapid pulse, breathing difficulty, and possible kidney and liver involvement, plus long term risks like heart failure, arrhythmias, and hardening of arteries. It notes varying recovery and emphasizes lifestyle changes and medical consultation, with a call for reader letters to the paper.
In a reflective piece, Ruth Cameron questions why men avoid church and why listeners often reveal more than speakers. The essay explores the paradox of speaking and hearing, noting that in gatherings people tend to tell stories rather than simply listen, and that honest listening reveals inner truths.
A batch of humorous vignettes and light social quips from Luke McLuke include playful jests about Pershing politics and Prohibition, barroom anecdotes, classroom excuses, and sly personal musings.
