Hippocrates Separated
Medicine From ReIipion

The history of medicine is as old
as man himself.
Primitive man had diseases, more
than we have, declares a writer In
the Washington Post. When his puny
efforts to conquer them failed, he
conceived the notion that they were
curses from his gods.
That idea hung on for centuries.
Ancient doctors used some drugs,
but prayer and Sacrifices in tenn
Piles of healing were mainly relied
on. 1t was a Greek, Hippocrates,
who separated medicine from reli-
gion.
He inaugurated the practice Of
studying diseases and diagnosing
ills. Because of his high ideals he
has fittingly been dubbed 1.-THE
Father of Medicine" The 'Oath Of
Hippocrates" is taken by every
medical student.
Next to Hippocrates, Galen, q
Roman, was the greatest Of the an
clients. He studied the body, re-
ported the functions of its various
parts. His ideas lived, and kept
medicine alive for some 800 years
after his death.
When the revival of medicine
came in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
centuries, it was the teachings Of
Galen that doctors used as jump
ing-of place.

For absence can never close the

And the camp of my love is still

Your love the best to recall;
For no one on earth could take

You are still the dearest of all.

Koala Bear About Half
an Inch Long When Eo

The koala bear, Australia's most
popular native, is a lovable live
toy. writes Mason Warner in the
Chicago Tribune. He never grows
very big. The young are born in
an immature state, little more than
half an inch in length, and are car
rled and developed in the mothers
pouch for about six months, at the
end of which time the baby meas
ures about six inches in length,
weighs about six ounces, and sports
q fine fur coat.
For three or four months longer
the mother carries the cub on her
back, where it holds on with its
arms around her neck, or clings to
her bosom with her protecting arms
around it. But the pouch is still
used until the young one has grown
too big to get into it. Maternal care
and protection continue till the cub
is a year old. A mother will hold
her infant on her lap and fondle
and stroke it in almost human fash
ion. When molested, a little one
will whimper and cry like a hurt
baby.
The koala reaches maturity at
about four years and may live to
reach the age of twenty. Full grown
ones weigh about 80 pounds and
measure "a to 80 inches from tip of
nose to where the tail would begin
If they had a tail. They range in
color from dark gray to brown.
The Australian native bear loves
the tall eucalyptus trees and he is
adapted to its environment. He can
climb the smooth, barkless trees
with ease and grace. His powerful
limbs and strong, sharp claws en-
able him to keep his position aloft
unperturbed in the fiercest gales.
The koala is the personifcation Of
indolent leisure. He does not move
about while the sun is high. He sits
and sleeps in the crotch of a tree
most of the day. He apparently be-
comes active only to eat, and pre-
fers to go from the limb of one tree
to the limb of another rather than
descend to the ground.

make sure that this grave issue is

By DR.. w. D. Brown
InvOlutiOn
MelanchOlia
DIR. w. d. Brown

In some people, there is a marked
change in personality about middle
age. They seem TO age suddenly
out of all normal proportion and
worry becomes a dominant factor
in their lives. While men may be
victims of this early senile change,
the condition is more frequent In
women and corresponds with the
menopause. The cause of this early
change is ascribed to heredity,
emotional shock, mental stress, en-
doctrine dysfunction or imDalance.
The latter probably is the most i'm
portant factor because proper at
tention to the endocrine glands
helps or cures a large proportion
of these cases.
The term, lnvolution melancholia,
has been applied to this changed
mental and physical condition of
middle life. One so affected usu-
ally does not realize that there is
mental alteration. She COM
PLAINS of headache, dizziness, loss
of appetite, insomnia, weight loss
and pain here and there. She is
usually apprehensiVe of some i'm
pending danger, she knows not
what. Often she imagines some
unimportant fact of her life as an
objectionable sin. She is sure that
her soul is lost and that she will
suffer torment eternally. Death is
spoken of as temporary relief and
suicide is always a potential dan
ger unless she is watched carefully.
Much can be done to help these
cases. The relatives should under
stand what can be accomplished by
medical treatment so that they
may know how to cooperate with
the physician. If necessary, insti-
tHtlonal care must be begun early
if there is no response to "home
treatment" The percentage of re-
covery until recently was about 40.
However, since the introduction Of
Eheelin, glandular product to be
given intramuscularly, many ply
5icians report percentage of re-
covery approximating 80.

Court Plan Unsettled
The fate of the Presidents plan
for enlarging the Supreme Court is
still uncertain. The opposition to it
is becoming we'll organized, while its
political pressure upon wavering
Senators and Congressman. The
best opinion here is that the Presi-
dent will eventually recede from his
position of iRsistence upon the whole
program, and will listen to a propo-
sal for adding two justices to the
Supreme Bench, under a plan which
would again reduce the Court to
nine in case of the death or resigna-
ton of any two of the present mem
bers. Back Of this suggested COM
promise is the report, seemingly au-
thentic. that two of the Justices now
on the Supreme Bench plan to retire
at the end Of the present term of
Court, this June.
1t is reasonably certain that no
other major legislation will be en-
acted until the Court issue has been
settled. Whether or not there will
be pressure .ro.a the White House
for new wage-and-hour legislation is
still indefinite, but it is known that
the President is giving serious con
sideration to such a program, on a
plan worked out by Thomas j. Cor
coran, counsel for the RIG, Ben
jamin V. Cohen, general counsel of
the IVA, and James Roosevelt,
the Presidents son and secretary.
Those three young men are reported
to be doing most of the Administra-
ton planning.
