Three-Point PROGRAM
For Health Advanced
In Prince Georges
Hospital, More Clinics
And Five Stuff Nurses
Requested by Byers

Reporting successes and failure of
the Prince Georges County Md
Health Department last year, Health
Officer John M. Byers today made
public a three-poin6 program of
future hopes" in the county's bat
tie against disease.
He asked, first, for "a county hos
pital, including good laboratory,
isolation ward and maternity di-
vision" At present. he said, "un-
avoidable delay" sometimes occurs
because people in need of hospital
care find that hospitals outside the
county "are crowded to capacity or
cannot take communicable disease
cases"
Second, DR.. Byers asked more
clinics for tuberculosis and child
welfare, and possibly maternal well
fare" Recent expansion of venereal
disease clinics appears to be suffi-
cient, he declared. The infant death
rate is higher than the general Mary
land rate, he reported, and "conse-
quently, efforts should be directed
toward proper prenatal care and in
FAINT supervision probably in
health department conferences.
Third. He requested immediate
employment of five additional staff
nurses, and still more nurses, sani-
tary inspectors and clerks as need
arises.
Other needs mentioned by the
health officer were a county wide
ordinance regulating handling
establishments and food handlers,
which should be forthcoming in
the near future" and universal
countrywide paSteuriZation of milk,
since raw milk represents an ever
present danger in areas where it is
used to any extent"
Declaring that the area made
substantial health progress during
1910. DR.. Byers attributed it to a
public and private spirit of work.

hypodermic injection of pur,
insulin.
AS with all the other duct
less glands in the body, il is
theoretically possible that the
cells which produce insuliA can
either degenerate so less insulin
is formed, as is the case In
diabetes, or they can increase
in size and amount and produce
sudden flooding of the body with
insulin.
We no whave definite proof
that this actually occurs. The
condition is known as hyperin-
sulinism.
The diagnosis can now be
made by the experienced physi-
clan over the telephone. Treat
ment is to eat some candy or a
cracker - anything sweet or
starchy.
HYPERINSULINISM
A typical case is that OF
woman, 20. whose first attack
of this kind occurred at IS. She
first noticed the onset of dizzy
spells at IL o'clock in the morn
ing, during which she felt faint
and weak. She was almost con-
tinuously hungry. About a year
later the spells became worse.
She perspired freely. and she
said her mind became paralyzed
and she went into q kind of
coma which lasted for seven
hours. The attacks usually came
on before meal time. She could
always prevent her attacks of
Inconsistencies by drinking
cocoa or coffee with sugar.
IL should be noticed in this
case history that the onset was
sudden in adult life. You do
not have to be born this way:
IL may come on later. In this
particular case surgical opera
ton revealed that in a certain
part of the pancreas there was
a glandular growth which in
volved the Islets of Langerhans.
This was removed with COM
plete recovery.
II is interesting 10 note that
while she was having the at
tacks, she gained 40 pounds in
weight due TO the fact that she
ate in order to prevent the
attacks.
