“NEW NITROGLYCERIN FORM
Spray helps angina victims

IMAGINE you’re 50 years old and
you've got angina.

You're having an attack of acute
chest pain. You fumble for the ni-
troglycerin tablets your doctor has
given you for such an emergency

same way as tablets once absorbed
by the body by reducing the heart's
requirement for oxygen.

Angina or ‘‘chest pain’’, is a
symptom of heart or blood vessel
disease, which kills as many Cana-

dians every year as all other
diseases combined. While usually
not fatal in itself, it takes an emo-
tional toll on its victims, who live
in fear of permanent heart damage
and deat.

and place one under your tongue.
Nothing happens. Then you
remember — the bottle is four-
months old. The tablets are too old
and have lost their ability to work.
You call for help.

Not a pleasant scenario, but an
all too common one. Although ni-
troglycerin is the most common
treatment for angina, the tablets
are far from perfect. But there are
alternatives.

A new form of nitroglycerin, in
the form of an oral spray, is now
available for the estimated 1.2 mil-
lion Canadians who suffer from
angina. Called Nitrolingual Spray,
it is being introduced by Rorer
Canada.

THE CANADIAN National In-
stitute for the Blind is gearing up
for its major fund-raising éffort
called Eye Appeal Week in non-
United Way areas.

Until October 11 over 3,500
volunteers in British Columbia and
the Yukon will be working to meet
a target of $325,000, through per-
sonal canvassing and the organiza-
tion of special events such as
community darces, dinners, bingo
games and telethons.

Organizers say the funds are
essential if the CNIB is to continue
to provide vital services to over
7,000 people now living in B.C.
and the Yukon who suffer blind-
ness or vision impairment.

While the number of blind or vi-
sually impaired people has been
increasing in recent years, the in-
come of the CNIB, a private,
non-profit institution, has
drastically fallen behind, according
to a CNIB spokesman.

The CNIB provides a full range
of services to help people adjust to
blindness, including employment
training and placement, the provi-
sion of aids and appliances such as
white canes and magnifiers, and a
library of books in braille and re-
corded form, he said.

The majority of the CNIB’s
funding comes from individual
donors who contribute through the
United Way or directly through
CNIB campaigns in communities
not served by the United Way.

Money raised in local com-
munities will be used to assist peo-
ple in the area, and donors wishing
to have funds directed to a par-
ticular program can make a special
request to canvassers.
