Has Prostate Gland
Successfully Removed
Unusual Operation
Reported by American
Medical Association

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Removal of
the prostate gland of 1l0-year- old
colored manufactured by medical
authorities to have been the first
operation of its kind on a centen-
arian-was reported today in the
journal of the American Medical
Association.
The report was made by DR.. j.
Bayard Clark of New York, who
said the patient demanded a square
meal" on the morning after the
operation. and that on the third day
he was "propped up in bed joyfully
putting away at an ancient pipe"
Within six weeks and five days the
patient was discharged from the
hospital. A year after the opera
tion-performed to correct a benign
enlargement of the prostate and a
mild chronic Inflammation of that
gland-the patient was alive and
apparently in very good health.
Operation Held Rare.
Commenting on the report, DR..
Morris Fishbein, editor of the
journal, said that age was so re-
quently bar to operations that the
fact a successful one had been per-
formed on man of such extraordi-
nary age was unusual He added
that only 80 persons out of 5000 900

live to be 100-much less be able to
survive an operation.
DR.. Clark reported that the patient
claimed he was born in slavery in
1927 in Virginia and that careful
inquiries tended to Substantiate the
story of his age His name was not
given.
Cautioned on Vitamin Mixtures.
The value of vitamins in prevent
ing disease has been reaf1lrmed by
the American Medical Association,
but it advised taking them with a
knife and fork
A medical report of experts said
many persons don't eat the right
foods-or enough of them-to get
all the vitamins they should.
1t asserted, however, that taking
vitamin mixtures cannot replace
the need of adequate amounts of a
we'll balanced diet"
THE use of vitamin mixtures by
the public is no assurance of good
health; their daily use is no guar
antee that all of the vitamins which
person must secure will be pro-
vided," it said
Report on Deficiency Diseases.
The report, published in the asso-
cations journal. was made by its
Councils on Pharmacy and Chemis-
try and on Foods. 1t gives the last
word on deficiency diseases due to
lack of vitamins, substances essential
for maintenance of the body s
normal metabolic functions
TT is becoming apparent that for
various reasons, especially lack of
knowledge, the people of the United
States do not select foods to furnish
the best possible diets for the money
invested" the report declared.
apparently there is no reason
why a properly selected diet should
not afford an adequate supply of the
requisite vitamins."
The report added. however, that
"one-sided" diets might result in a
relative shortage" of some vitamins
