Experiments have demonstrated, DR..
Roth pointed out, that salvarsan in
troduced into the system must first
break down into this substance before
becoming effective.
Dr. Roth himself first became inter-
ested in this drug more than 20 years
ago while at the National Institute of
Health. but dropped the work. 1t was
resumed in another laboratory @ few
years ago and new promises to be a
very valuable medicine.
Acts Qdickly on Disease.
1t is almost, but not quite, 10 times
as poisonous to the system as salvar-
san, he said. This discouraged its use
at first. On the other hand it Is
slightly more than 10 times as effec-
tive against the syphilis organism
that is, one-tenth the amount will
have the same effect. It acts much
more quickly. Its great advantage
over salvarsan Is that 1t does not dis
turb the collodial equilibrium of the
blood.
While the new drug holds forth
high promise. DR.. Roth said, much
more experimental work needs to be
done with 1t.

Frequent honeymoon Vocations"
as remedy for marital discord were
advocated before the annual post
graduate clinic of George Washing
ton University Medical School yester-
day by Dr. Herbert P Ramsey of the
university faculty.
Speaking on marital pathology"
DR.. Ramsey -aid physicians are play
ing an increasingly important role in
saving marriages headed for the di-
vorce court. and that "the doctors
Office to some extent is taking the
place Of the confessional"
The honeymoon vacations" he
urged especially for brain workers.
1t is his personal observation from
an extensive practice in Washing
ton and elsewhere, he said, that causes
of discord between married couples
are especially frequent among profess
sional people. The reason. he stressed,
may lie largely in the limits of the
human brain itself. A brain workers
cerebral cortex is entirely occupied
with the problems of his work. He

discord. One Of the best cures of such
q situation he has found, he said, Is
for husband and wife to arrange their
affairs as often as possible so that
both Of them can 60 away together,
leaving entirely behind the problems
Of home and office.
Cheaper Than Home Wrecking.
The length and frequency of such
'honeymoons," DIR. Ramsey said, nat
urally must be limited by the economic
status of the couple, but even finan.
cially they are cheaper than a broken
home, to say nothing of their con.
tribution to happiness.
DR.. Ramsey urged the George WASH
ington alumni to prepare themselves
more and more to serve as marriage
advisers" familiar with the physical,
psychological and sociological factors
entering into family discord, and able
to correlate them into a pattern.
There are no specific formulas to be
applied, he said Each married couple
must be considered as an individual
case, just as must any sick patient
that enters a doctors ofice.
One Of the growing causes Of
marital failure, he said, is mental
immaturity," which may be a result
of rearing children in the modern city
where there is every convenience and
very few problems to be solved in
daily living. When they start home,
problems throng upon them, and they
have had no training in meeting them.
Nerve Crafts Reported.
Some of the first successful nerve
CRAFTS were reported by DR.. w. H.
Jenkins of the George Washington
faculty. These operations originated

sues them to the point Of utter ex-
haustion. He has no brain space left
for the problems of home and family.
Double Time Job for Wife.
On the other hand, he stressed, a
wife and mother has a double time
job" She ends the day both men
tally and physically exhausted. She
needs her husbands help in dealing
with the complex problems Of manag-
ing home and family. Her husband is
too tired to think about these things.
Physical labor, he stressed, is quite
different. The husband may come
home at night utterly exhausted physi-
cally. but his brain is not entirely pre-
occupied with problems outside the
home. When he drops his hammer or
his shovel his work Is done until the
next morning. The lawyer or doctor
must take his work home with him
after he closes his desk.
Such a situation, DR.. Ramsey
stressed, leaves no energies for either
husband or wife to devote to the very
complicated problems of getting along
together. Thus their affairs often
drift into condition of irremediable

elsewhere, but are little known as yet
to the general medical profession.
They have been applied up to date,
DR.. jenkins said, in the treatment OF
general facial paralysis due to some
injury to the sixth cranial nerve
which controls the movements Of the
face. Victims are in a pitiable con-
dition. The eye on one side cannot
be closed voluntarily. There Is a con-
slant flow Of tears. The whole face
says, giving q grotesque appearance.
One cause Of this condition is injury
to the facial nsrve during mastoid
operations.
Up to four years ago this condition
was practically hopeless, since in
jured nerve does not regenerate. 1t
now has been found possible, DR.. Jen-
kins said, to remove small segment
of nerve from the side Of the leg and
graft 1t into the injured facial nerve.
1t Is even possible to take bit Of
nerve from the leg Of another person
of the same blood group for this
graft.
New Drugs introduced.
Two new drugs which may have
far-reaching significance in medicine
and surgery were introduced to the
George Washington graduates by DR..
George B. Roth, professor Of pharma-
cology.
The first is synthetic chemical
known as prostigmine, which has q
powerful effect on the parasympa-
thetic nervous system which controls
the movement OF the intestines. One
of the serious after-effects of major
surgery is post-operative intestinal
atony. The intestines fill with gas,
and this results in the severe gas

MODEL OF ATOM
NUCLEUS SHOWN
Physicists Meeting Here
Discuss Mysterious
"SuperuravitV."

A new model of the nucleus of an
atom closely analogous to water
droplet was presented to physicists
attending the third annual Conference
on Theoretical Physics at George
Washington University and the Car
negie Institution of Washington by
DR.. Niels Bohr of the University Of
Copenhagen, it was announced yes
terday as the meeting ended.
In this model the nucleus is con-
eeived Of protons, neutrons and alpha
particles in much the same way that
q liquid droplet is composed of mole
culeS and atoms. This new model Of
the nucleus, conceived by one of the
greatest living authorities, the physi-
clsts said, was simple enough to be
understood by graduate students.
The still mysterious force of super
gravity" acting within the atom with
a power billions of times that of grav-
ity, which was first isolated by physi-
cists of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington last year, was discussed
throughout the week by the atomic
authorities. This is infinitely the
vastest force in creation but, up to the
present, it is known only in the
extremely minute dimensions of the
atom.
But as a result of this conference
hope was expressed that in a short
time such forces no longer will be re-
garded as quite unconnected with other
physical phenomena and as explaining
only what happens within the nucleus
but as phenomena closely connected
with forces acting outside the nucleus
"in the same way" says the announce
nent. "as Sir Isaac Newton showed
the interconnection between the forces
OF gravitation which act on the earth's
surface and those forces acting in the
planetary system" The conference
was conducted with series of informal
sessions, mostly devoted to the sort
of model which must be used to de-
scribe the interior of the atomic
nucleus.
There was considerable discussion
of the nature of the forces which bind
together the different particles of the
nucleus.

pains" often reported after such an

pains" often reported after such an
operation as appendicitis.
Drugs used in the past that relieve
this condition have largely passed out
of use, it was explained, because
while they relieve the intestines Of gas
they also had q serious effect on the
heart and circulation. Prostigmine
has practically no effect on the heart.
It was demonstrated yesterday with
laboratory dogs. 1t has been used
with considerable success In England,
DR.. Roth reported, but has seen
little clinical application in this coun-
try.
Strange Disease Ameliorated.
In Europe, DR.. Roth reported. pros
tigmine has been shown to have an
ameliorative effect on one OF the
strangest Of human diseases-myes-
thenia gravis. This is an inexplicable
loss Of muscular strength without any
atrophy or degeneration Of the mus
cles.
IT has some wierd effects. Victims
more frequently women than men
may lack strength to move their jaws
In chewing or to raise an arm to comb
the hair. They may suddenly collapse
in the midst Of the most simple ex-
ertion. The condition often is fatal.
The impirical effects Of prostigmine
in these cases are being extensively
studied.
The second new drug was meta
amino-parahydroxy-phenyl arsenoMde
which has been introduced under a
trade name Of mepharsan. 1t Is an
arsenic compound which Is a decom-
position product of salvarsan, widely
used in the treatment of syphilis.
