pneumonia. It is as effective in the
worst type, Type III, for which no
serum was ever of any value.
The advantage of being able to
give it by mouth is obvious. 1t is
automatic that all drugs that can be
given by mouth should be. Most of
the business of giving drugs hypo-
dermically or by vein is a business
that is more profitable to the doctor
than to anyone else. The wonder is
that this drug can be swallowed,
enters the blood stream quickly, and
kills germs without affecting the
human cells at all.

it's effects. Perhaps DR.. McKhann's
remarks in Dallas are bit exagger-
ated on the optimistic side. A more
conservative view is that of Drs.
Price and Myers, of Detroit, who
found that in treating lis cases of
pneumonia, Is per cent died. But
this figure is compared to 40 cases
treated with a serum in which the
death rate was 81 per cent.
It's Advantages
The great advantages Of sultan
ilimide are, first, that no tipping is
necessary and, second, that it can be
given by mouth.
The first advantage will be under
stood when it is realized that there
are 80 types of pneumonia germs.
For each one a particular serum has
been developed. But before the
serum can be given, the particular
type of pneumonia the patient has
must be determined. This takes time
and is expensive besides. Sulfanili-
mide can be given to any type Of

He told his wife that he felt he

The family cat had developed an
inco-ordination similar to his. The
cat had fallen heavily while trying
to jump to a window sill, thing he

His wife had noticed numbness

Brain Flashes
Interpreted AS
Epilepsy Sign

Chicago, May 8.-(AP)-Lightn-
ing flashes in the brain were declar-
ed today to be forecasters of epilepsy
in persons yet unborn.
Persons who never show any cpl
leptic fits are frequently carriers of
the disease and pass it on to their
children III the same way that ty-
phoid carriers transmit germs with
out having typhoid themselves, Dr.
E. l.. Gibbs, DR.. w. C. Lennox and
DR.. F. A. Gibbs, of Boston city hos
pital Boston, Mass, said today in a
report to the American PSychiatric
association.
Studies of brain lightning when
compared with the amount of car
bon dioxide, the ''waste gas" of the
body, in the brain have given medi-
cal science a new clue "to the cause
and eventually to the cure of cpl
lepsy," they declared.
Brain lightning is a sedies of I'm
usual electrical waves generated by
mans thinking apparatus when a
person has epilepsy or has a predis-
position to it. Such an abnormality
in the normal electrical output OF
the brain is apparently hereditary
Dr.: Lennox declared, and if a man
and woman having such pecularities
marry they are likely to have cpl
leptic children.
eve believe that a disordered
rhythm of brain waves is Unbeatable
and that the parent who shows this
disorder, though free himself of SYM
ptoms, is a carrier of the disorder,

. All epileptics examined have
shown such disordered rhythm, or
lightning, when their brain waves
were studied.

OF them and was able to express the
hrst little faint CLEAN Of hopeI had.
But even then I reported that the
new drug, pyridine sulfanilimide,
was being used and even in the best
clinics the serums were being given
a secondary place in its favor. Now
we ind reports to the effect that
pyrldine sulfanilimide is far more

was at first supposed and far more
enectlve than all the serums.
When we find speaker from

1T is A source of wonderment
that anyone can breathe into the

astonishing as it may appear, for

prongs at either end. How he could
have swallowed it without any
knowledge that it was passing
through his gullet is as mysterious
to me as it is to you. But those are
the facts Of the case.
There is another feature of the
case that is quite comforting. Every
time I go to the seashore some
alarmed parent brings me child
who has swallowed pebble. I have
learned by this time to reassure
them and try to calm their fears.
In every case the pebble eventually
works its way out of the digestive
tract and leaves everybody happy.
No Operation Needed
But pebbles are smooth and this
bridge was sharp. Several doctors
were called in and did not believe
that the bridge would pass out of
the stomach, let alone go through
the intestines. They all thought an
operation would be necessary. But
by giving a diet with good deal of
fruit and soft material, such as oat-
meal, it did pass in four days.
Four days, by the way, is the time
I have learned to calculate for the
passage of pebbles. 1t is the clas-
steal period.
Inhaling foreign bodies into the
lungs can be experienced without
choking or, in fact, without any
sensation whatever. A physician l
know was walking around his office
engaged in thought and, very fool
ishly, as he admits, picking his teeth
with pin. Suddenly he found the
pin was gone. He looked all over
the carpet for it, but no pin. Then
he had an x-ray picture of his chest
and there the pin was in the right
bronchial tube. He had felt no sem
sation whatever as it. went tb 4Ough

what had happened to removable
bridge which normally rested in the
space formerly occupied by his first
upper molar.
His brother was of the opinion
that it was lost in a game of "gal-
Looping dominoes." He thought that.
in the excitement, the bridge had
fallen out and had been swept up
with the dice when someone was
trying to make his point, and in the
course of the game had been
knocked away and lost.
Pain in Stomach
The real reason he went to the
doctor was that he had had pain
in the stomach ever since the crap

ton the loss of the bridge casually.
The doctor settled the question as
to whether one can lose at craps

ing an x-ray taken. There was the
bridge all right, swallowed, and re-
posing in the stomach. .

been exposed was responsible.
At this point he was told Of some
similar cases found by the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
that had been caused by chronic
lead poisoning.
An investigation showed that
everyone in the household was

water from the hot water tank Tin
which all the vegetables the family
ate were boiled) contained 0.18 mill
igrams of lead per liter. The cat
had eaten these vegetables. The dog
had been fed such food for two
years. The plumber who had put

pipe joints, and all the inside joints
had been wiped with lead solder.

Under proper treatment the symp-
toms abated, and then most aston
ishing sequel occurred.
The proper treatment for lead
poisoning includes plentiful green
vegetables. When they returned to

ness returned and they found the
vegetables they were eating were
covered with lead arsenate.

cially on apples, but also on nearly

economical agent against insects.
Farmers are apt to resent investlga-
ton of spray residues. They argue
that since their families eat the food
they send to market and have no
symptoms, it must be harmless. But
no one knows how many farm faml-
lies are suffering from disabilities
regarded as an act of God or the
disabilities of old age, and really
due to chronic lead poisoning. Con-
troll measures should be taken.
