WHERE DRUGS FAIL

Many chronic diseases fail to respond
TO drug treatment. even in the hands OF
the best physicians. whereas acute dis
eases usually respond readily. When
a disease has become chronic, drugs
often seem TO do as much harm as they
do good, for the system rebels against
them. II is just this class OF cases
which derive the greatest benefit from
