and increasing physical vitality. ac-
cording to a report presented by DR..
H. c. Sherman of Columbia Univer-
sity. DR.. Sherman for years has been
studying various diets used on rats.
Two years ago he devised a special
diet which had marked effects in
prolonging life. This was an ordinary
diet such as would keep the animals
alive and in normal health, enriched
with calcium, various proteins, and
vitamins A and G.
He now finds that the calcium en-
richment alone has approximately the
same effect. Growth is better, the
death rate decreases notably, and
there Is longer period between ma
turity and old age. Presumably the
effects on the human system would be
much the same.

PAIN Of CANCER
K|LLEDBY VENOM
Academy of Science Hears
Cobra Poison Better
Than 0piates.,
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star.


UNIVERSITY, Va, November 1s.-
The venom of the cobra, most deadly
, OF poisonous snakes, may be the
logical substitute for morphine and
other habti-formins opiates for the
relief of unbearable pain.
Experiments with cobra venom as
a pain killer were described before
the National Academy of Sciences,
meeting here today, by DR.. David I.
Macht, Baltimore pharmacologist.
In collaboration with several Bal
timore surgeons, DR.. Macht made in
jections of a venom solution in the
muscles of 100 sufferers from in
operable cancers and other malignant
tumors who suffered constant agony
with even the most powerful narcotics.
1t was found to be more effective
than morphine or any other generally
used opiates.
Improvement General.
Moreover, he said, there was In
some cases a very marked improve
ment in the general condition Of the
patients. which may have been due
to the better fight individuals freed
from agony were able to make against
the deadly neoplasms.
Cobra venom, he found, was entirely
non n-habit-forming and did not have
the dangerous side-effects of the
opiates.
Thousands of drug addicts blame
their condition to opiates taken origi-
nally to relieve pain. with increasing
doses necessary for this purpose set
ting up a physiological craving which
could not be overcome when the sick.
ness was ended. But there is no dan
ger of a generation Of cobra venom
addicts.
Apparently, DR.. Macht said, the
venom affects some pain center in the
higher levels of the brain, presum-
ably in the cerebrum 1t does not
appear to affect the ascending or de-
scending nerve fibers which carry the
sense of pain to the brain and back
again to the organ in which the
agony Is felt. He also found that it
did not paralyze the nerve endings
which start the pain impulses.
Apparently Halts in Brain.
To confirm the brain-effect hy-
pothesis, experiments were conducted
with rats in which convulsions of
brain origin had been caused by cer-
tain drugs. The pain impulses ap-
parently go to the brain and stop
there without being felt.
The cobra venom promises to be
one of the most notable drug contri-
buttons yet made to medicine. DR..
Macht,s work constitutes its first ap-
pearance in the United States. There
have been previous experiments in
| France.
There is unquestionably hereditary
factor in tuberculosis, DR.. Raymond
Pearl of Johns Hopkins University
| told the academy on the basis of re-
| cent statistical researches. Studying
the records of a large number of
families, he found that when both
parents are tuberculous, there is ap-
proximately a per cent chance that
any one of their children will con-
| tract the disease. When only the
father is tuberculous the chance is
IT per cent while there is l.6 per
cent chance that the offspring OF a
| tuberculous mother will fall victim to
the malady. Where neither parent is
tuberculous. the chance is reduced to
l per cent.
