ONE OF the vivid recollectiens
of my boyhood is that of a play
fellow who was killed suddenly in a
game of baseball. We were playing
scrub and he was somewheres
around first base and batted ball
hit him in the chest. It was not bat
ted very hard and the impact was
not severe, but he fell down, took a
few gasping breaths and passed
out.
1t was the first time most of us
had ever seen death and, poor kids,
we didn't know what it was, or what
to do. Fortunately for us, it was
in the days when a doctor might
come by with a horse and buggy,
and nice old Doctor Jenny stopped
his progress and took the boy in his
arms and carried him home to his
mother.
The remorse Of the batter passes
all description. I see him now every
once in a while in some nook or
Granny of this wicked world, and he
never fails to bring up in an awed
whisper the recollection of that
dreadful afternoon.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Mr.. C. J. w.: 81 have a rash on
my right hand which has been COM
ing off and on now for a couple of
years. 1t starts with white blister
which breaks open. Then the skin
gets dry, hard, scaly, and cracks
open. What could I do for it?"
Answer: The condition that you
describe may possibly be ringworm
of the hands.
In ringworm of the hands, the
type of rash that is present is varl-
able. Usually the rash consists OF
reddish spots which are scaly.
These spots may have small blisters
around the outside of them and are
usually lighter in the center. Pa
tients with this condition often have
ringworm of the feet also.
In treating this disorder, one OF
the helpful preparations is made
with salicylic (sal-is-iP ik) acid,
two parts; benzoic (ben-zo' ik) acid
three parts; cold cream and petro-
latun, equal parts enough to make
thirty.
The ointment is put on once or
twice a day, under the physicians
directions, and rubbed gently into
the skin.
If this does not clear up the con-
dition, X-ray treatments may be
required. Ultraviolet ray treat
ments of the infected parts are
sometimes helpful.

X-roy is Safeguard
in Thymus Troubles

And they are very liable to sud-
den death. Sometimes this occurs
in the form of apoplexy, sometimes
from heart seizure. Certainly the
thymus has something to do with
the shock mechanism of the body.
If the condition is recognized, a
great deal can be done to safeguard
these individuals from their dam
gers. The thymus can be reduced in
size or even completely destroyed by
the x-ray. This treatment is effec-
tive in selective cases, and observ-
ers who have watched these patients
over period of quarter Of CEN
tury see no bad results. The thymic
individual can eat large quantities
of sugar and starch, and diet high
in these elements is good for them.
They must be protected from many
of the stresses and exposures of
life, such as tougher hombres like
you and me take in our stride.

and Paris he returned to found
Americas first medical school in
Philadelphia College. But that was
not all He split the practice of
medicine into three parts.
Delivering the Commencement Ad-
dress in May, l765, he said:
Patients ought to know what they
pay for medicine and what they pay
for medical attendance and advice.
Medicines should be compounded by
an apothecary who is not obliged to
spend his time visiting patients. I
shall devote my time to the practice of
'physic, send my surgical cases to a
surgeon and let an apothecary COM
pound my prescriptions.
But his idea was too radical. Not
one other physician in town would
write a prescription for his patients -
until DR.. Abraham Chovet came from
Jamaica. Then others followed suit,
and by 1900 the custom was general
all over the colonies.
At the close of the Revolutionary

For the accurate compounding OF
more than 2OO,OOO,OOO medical for
mulas year Americas citizens can
thank John Morgan of Philadelphia
who, about ITS years ago, gave the
United States its first prescription
drugstore.
John Morgan was a friend of George
Washington's. Benjamin Franklin gave
him his first job He founded Americas
first medical school. He separated
pharmacy from medicine and surgery.
He was Physician-in-Chief of the
Revolutionary Army. Yet. because he
moved too fast for his day. he died OF
broken heart at the age of fifty-four.
Oh, yes, drugs were sold in America
before John Morgan's time. William
Davice, Boston apothecary, had an
herb garden in 1916 Christopher
Marshall, from Dublin, Ireland,
opened the Golden Ball in Philadelphia
in 1929. Moravian missionaries in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, had an
apothecary shop in 1852. But drug
store then was either corner room
in a doctors house, where medicines
we're made up and sold by the doctor
or his apprentice, or it was a ware
house where hogsheads of drugs were
bought from sailing ships and resold.

owners of estates or private families.
Your colonial doctor was rugged

mixed his own elixirs, ground roots
and barks with mortar and pestle, or

he learned medicine in Europe or from
some older doctor or perhaps from

slippery elm, saffron. opium, rum and
alcohol were basic remedies. House

edies for cancer, consumption, rheu-
matism. Burnt oyster shells ground
and mixed with eggs were warranted
to cure hydrophobia. Horehound
mixed with milk was supposed to be
sure cure for consumption. A salve of
egg yolks and salt was an anodyne
for cancer.
Then came John Morgan of Phila-
delphia. Slight of stature, with small
hands and feet, handsome boyish
face, blue eyes and proud curve to
his lips, he was Beau Brummell in
dress and manners. He carried silk
sunshade in summer. But there was
nothing effeminate about John
Morgan, nor was he an idler, though
born to wealth. He apprenticed HIM
self to local doctor. He served with
George Washington in the French and
Indian War as lieutenant and surgeon.

football career Thanksgiving day at
Charlotte Wnen the Deacons meet
Davidson, chat mas caused MS name
to be imprinted IN athletic annals
of this 105 year old institution,
probably not to be forgotten Tor a
long time.
And while the we'll known Pea
head Walker, head coach Of .-ootoall
activities here, is definitely not a
sentimentalist, it's a dollar to a
doughnut that he'd much rather
lose this all-important Davidson
game than MS persOnable team cap

other game on the slate so Jar rs
that goes.
To some, Coach Walkers senta-
mentalism may not be understand
able, but to those who know Pate as
a man and as q football player, it
IS quite clear. Wouldn't the hardest
of hard go soft over losing a grid
iron performer who has started
every game for three years, never
been hurt, never caused a penalty
against his club, and on top of this,
played first class football ever
since rising to the varsity. That's
exactly what Rupert has done.
But that's not all about the boy.
Pate is a swell fellow in the eyes
Of every person who knows him.
Unassuming and quiet spoken, he
seems to work his friendship on a
democratic basis-he likes them all
and they like him. A stranger on the
campus would never know that the
Goldsboro youth is one of the out
