DIABETES TODAY
BY H. Addington Bruce

r HAVE been urged by medical friend to
l help correct the unfortunately mistaken
popular belief that a positive cure has at
last been found for the dread disease of
diabetes.
That this belief exists is not surprising, in
view of the brilliant results nowadays OBJ
tanned in diabetic cases by the use of gluco-
kinin, intarvin, and, more particularly
insulin.
1t is insulin which people commonly have
in mind when they speak of "the cure of
diabetes" If nsuIin really were a cure the
condition responsible for diabetes would be
permanently corrected by taking insulin in
certain amounts for certain period of time.
1t would then be no longer necessary to
take insulin.
But the fact is that lnsu1in simply serves
so to speak as a crutch to enable the dia bette
to carry on. And it is a crutch which, at
least until medical science knows more than
al present regarding the management Of
diabetes, can never be dispensed with by the
patient using 1t.
AS recently stated by DR.. Shields
Warren:
The important and peculiar feature of
nsulin is that it is not a medicine which can
be taken few days, weeks, or months and
then cure the disease. Insulin must be taken
as long as the dabetic condition lasts-which

lives"
Thanks to insulin, however, it is possible
to probing the life-span of the diabetc as
not possible in earlier days Even pa
tients in an advanced stage may by its use
be rescued from what formerly was certain
death. Thereafter, by careful adjusting of
diet and insulin dosage they can get along
surprisingly we'll
And there are certain incidental adyan-
tages of insulin. 1t was only few days ago
that DR.. W. D. Swan of Cambridge, Mass,
told me of the use of insulin in surgical
case wherein a diabetic patient suffered from
gall stones.
Ordinarily, to operate in such a case would
be to run grave risk. BY using insultn TINS
risk is obviated the patient made a success
full recovery from the gladstone operation,
and now is improving as regards his diabetes
1t should perhaps be added that in all
cases where the use of iHsulin is found de-
sirable or necessary-and not all diabetes
need insulin-medical supervision of the diet
should be maintained. On this point that
eminent diabetes specialist, DR.. Elliott T.
Joslin, of Boston, is especially emphatic.

Science

DR.. Rudolph Steiner has origi.
mated, in Switzerland, new style
of architecture that is attracting
attention among architects and art
lists all over the world.
DR.. Steiner's idea was that there
was no use in sticking to the con-
yer tional style Of building. He did
not see why a house should be
straight up and down with square
corners, instead Of round or curved.
Consequently he and his pupils be-
gan making models Of houses that
resembled vegetables, flowers, plants,
trees, leaves, etc. This resulted in
some astonishing and artistic effects.
The idea is that the style can be
carried even into the field of in
dustrial and factory buildings. One
model shows a power house, built
entirely in curves, with no corners
and a tall smokestack in curved
lines that initiates a pussy willow.
Windows in these buildings are OF
thick colored glass so arranged as
to get artistic lighting effects. The
rooms are built in the form of plants
and leaves and the walls are deco
rated in accord with Thu, same gem

have no difficulty in making the ao-
quaintance of Aquila.
AS you can see from the accom-
panying illustration. the stars form
ing it lie in the shape of a rough
triangle.
The constellation is most easily
found. however. by hunting for its
three brightest stars, Tarezed. AL
tair and AlschaIn. These three stars
lie in a straight line and hence are
easy to find.
Affair. the center one of the three,
is brilliant first magnitude star. of
rather yellowish color. Its name
means "the flying eagle" This is
the same name the Arabs gave to the
whole constellation.
Affair in Neck
AS the figure of the eagle was
imagined in the constellation by the
ancients, Affair is situated In the
eagles neck.
Tarazed is pale orange in color.
It's name means "the soaring fall
con-"
Alschain is also pale orange in
color.
These three stars are often mis-
taken for the three stars which form
the belt of Orion in the famous con-
stellation of that name.
It is easy to distinguish the two
sets Of stars, If you will remember
that the three stars in the belt are
Of equal brightness, while in Aquila,
Affair, the center star, outshines the
other two to a considerable extent.
The star in Aquila which astron-
omers call after the Greek letter
Eta is a particularly interesting
variable star.
1t varies from maximum Of 3.5
to a minimum of AT magnitude.
Light Is Variable
It continues at its maximum
brightness for 40 hours. Then it
begins to fade, reaching it's minimum
at the end Of 66 hours. 1t then re-
mains at its minimum for 30 hours,
after which it again begins to grow
in brightness.
For this reason, astronomers
think that 1t is really two stars but
so close to each other that the tele-
scope will not separate them.
1t is believed that one Of the two
stars is very faint star. AS re-
suit the star would appear its
brightest to us when the faint COM
ponent was entirely behind the bright
one. When the faint component
would be between us and the bright
one, we would see the star at its
minimum magnitude.
In the year 3S9 A. D., a wonder
full new star or nova as the as
tropomer calls it, flashed out near
Affair. It rtvaled the planet venus
in brilliance. But after three weeks
it disappeared and has never been
seen since.
