triumphs. No sublime sacri-
fees. Just sharing life as il

Fellow and me, alike.
Sharing our infrequent
triumphs and our all-too-
frequent shame. "Divvying
up" on our victories and
dividing the hurt and the
blame. Sometimes wonder
il there's any better way to
get wise TO yourself and
popular with your fellow man.
Just sharing. Taking down
your back hair and letting him
see you as you are. for what
you're worth. It's certainly
tough on the old human
egotism but, as medicine for
what ais us, I suspect IL
has all the punishments and
preachments dashed TO the
mast.
Hard to do? OF course II
is. The toughest test on

Ch|orophy|| Found Useful
For Skin Diseases, Infections
By Logan Clendening, MD.

r SUPPOSE II Is generally
L agreed by scientists that
the greatest engine for stor-
ing energy in the world is the
green pigment of leaves and
grass, chlorophyll. 1t is the
only thing in nature which
captures the energy of the
sun, saves it up and releases
ii at some later time.
The sun strikes a green leaf
and in some way the chloro-
phyll separates water and
carbon dioxide and preserves
them in the plant body. The
chemist in his laboratory can
do this only with great diff
Guilty.
Weeks. months or years
later this energy in the plant
body can be used by man and
other animals. The sugar we
eat. the hay the cattle eat are
transformed into the energy
Of life. Coal and oil when
used in engines are simply re-
leasing the energy stored by
plants in this way years or
centuries ago.
TT IS curious that chloro-
L phyll has never been used
very much in medicine. Salts
of chlorophylI can be isolated
and lately it has been used in
surgical dressing in open
wounds where putrefaction
occurs. A dressing of chloro-
phyll has been found to break
up the cells which are under
going putrefaction. reduce
odors and assesses very
promptly. In all cases Of open
wounds the dressing has been
quite successful.
1t has also been used in
closed infections such as sup
curative conditions in the
chest and infections Of the
sinuses of the nose. also in
chronic ear infections. About
these a doctor reports:
these patients had been
operated on previously for
msstoiditis, but unfortunately
