the present crisis which is being

NEUrRALIzINo PoIsoNs

A new principle in medical treat.
ment in which large amounts OF
antificially made body fluids are
used to detoxify or neutralize
poisons is supposed to effectively
reinforce the body's normal re-
Sistance, and aid in treatment OF
conditions ranging from wounds
and burns, dye and lead poisoning
TO toxemia OF pregnancy and ner-
Vous shock.
Mans ability to fight off poisons
In his system depends largely on
the supply OF chemicals in the body
which detoxify poisons. In the
case Of severe wounds and burns,
for example 'histamine, a natural
body chemical, is released as a
poison into the blood stream, and
If the body does not have a suf'
ficient supply of detoxicants the
person becomes extremely Ill and
may die.
The detoXifying combination is
composed Of choline, cystine, gly-
cine, ascorbic acid and glucuronic
acid, all OF which are normally
present in the body in small
amounts. Each has a specific anti
poison effect, but the combination
OF all five is much more effective.
II the body has adequate sup
plies OF these detoxicants 1t Is cap
able OF greater resistance to the in
furious effects Of poison, thus the
new type OF treatment should
prove OF Importance in wartime,
particularly since all OF the de-
tOxicants can be produced synthet-
ically in large quantities In the
laboratory.
These chemicals also have
proved highly effective In the re-
Notification Of some drugs which
are highly effective in the treat
ment Of disease but which could
not be used in some cases because,
in addition TO their healing effect,
they were highly poisonous to the
person treated.
An example sulfanilamide Is
used in treatment for a dozen or
more diseases but some persons
cannot tolerate it. Detoxified, its
disease-fighting properties are even
slightly enhanced both by increas-
ing its speed Of absorption in the
body and by reducing amounts of
the drug needed.
While these chemicals do not
represent a panacea, they afford
a means of reinforcing the body's
own process of liberalization in
the same manner as immunity TO

And then a girl, plain, almost
mannish, and carrying q notebook,
spied Joel and his Aunt Sallie. She
gave cry, and bore down on them
like q female savage.
"Oh, LordW Joel groaned. Here
comes Sadie Young, our ubiquitous
society reporterl" He grabbed his
aunt's arm. Don't talk, Aunt Sal
lie, whatever you dol"
Aunt Sallie sat up, stif and
stern. I'm an oyster, 20 far as
Sadie's concerned" she said.
But Sadie, smelling a Juicy story
for her column, charged on and on.

II couldn't say" Joel replied.
"He-er-may still be back In the
minister's study"
WAS he terribly heartbroken ?"
Sadie asked.
Perhaps you'd better ask him
that" said Joel.
Aunt Sallie gave Sadie . look
that was calculated to make her
sink through the sidewalk.
This Is all very silly" she said.
Please drive me home, Joel"
Sure, Aunt Sallie," Joel said.
He started the engine again. but
Sadie still chung. You'd better
hurry, Sadie" he advised. MY cou-
sin may be on the verge Of a COL
lapse, but no doubt he'll have

"Thanks!" said Sadie. Thanks q

Haven't you any statement TO

Latham is rather like your son."

But Aunt sallie did have some

was supposed TO be playing the

I've got this to say" she told
Sadie. IT glad that my nephew,

it ruefully.
"Darned swell Of you, JOEL" he
said, sending Sadie into the study
like that Thanks lot, old man."
Don't mention it," said Joel
dryly. Protecting you has got to
be a habit"
They reached Main street, and
sped on. Then into Oakland ter
race. There Joel brought the car
to standstill. He leaped out. So
did Aunt Sallie. So did Bill. They
ran across the sidewalk and into
the apartment house.
Thank heavens. We lost her,.
said Bill. !.
But not for long" said Joel
What's to prevent her coming
here?"
Nothing" said Bill. But she
can't break down the door, or can
she?"
Probably" said Joel.
They got into the small self
service elevator, and Bill touched
the button marked Three" A few
moments later they were entering
the bachelor apartment they had
quilted less than an hour before.
Bill threw his high hat upon the
lounge.
WELL" he said, at would seem
I'm still a bachelor"
YES" said Aunt Sallie, "and the
next time you decide not to go on
being one, do, for goodness sake,
choose a woman with some sense"
bill doesn't like brainy women"
Joel reminded. And then: Pardon
me, while get out Of this junk
I'm wearing" He walked into the
bedroom, calling back: you two
will have to hold the fort against
the charging reporter"
Almost at once the buzzer rang.
Bill stiffened. Aunt Sallie caught
her breath.
"Well?" said Joel. do some
thing" He closed the bedroom door
behind him. leaving Bill and Aunt
Sallie alone.
The buzzer kept on ringing. EH-

She knows we're home" said
Aunt Sallie. The cars right In

"All right" said Bill, I'll speak
to her" He went to the speaking
tube. ''Hellov he called.
Hello" said Sadie, her voice
sounding tinny and far-off. Il want
to speak to Mr.. Latham. >. And
don't tell me he isn't there! He Is.
He was hidden under that robe
saw him through the rear window.
L"
IF you'll shut up for half a Sec

you that Mr.. Latham Is here. Mr.,
Latham Is speaking"
"Ohw said Sadie. Then she
rushed on. Mr.. Latham, l want a
stateme I from you. I'll see that
you get fair treatment, that the
town people won't laugh too much
over the jilting, and"
1--we got nothing to say"
snapped Bill. And you'd better be
darned careful what you write.
Maybe you've heard Of libel. Or Is
there guardian angel that pro-
tects such pests as you society re-
porters?"
