Better 1ed |th
BY Dr. Logan CIendening
ORIGINALLY the v e a m n s

ORIGINALLY the vita m ms
" were used in medical treat
ment as part OF diet.
1t was found that some per-
sons were eating largely proc
essed foods, such as candy and
crackers and canned goods, from
which in the course of manu-
facture the vitamins had been
removed.
Consequently these patients
showed symptoms of neuritis or
scruffy skin or sore tongue or
dropsy, and the natural form of
treatment was 10 give oranges
and yeast and oatmeal and fresh
meat and tomatoes so that gen.
eral health would be improved.
II was replacement therapy.
1t is still used
THEN the question arose
Il whether a given individual
was getting. not vitamlns, but
enough vitamins.
He had minor symptoms OF
vitamin deficiency, either be-
cause he had indigestion or diaE-
rhea, and wasn't absorbing his
due quantity of vitamins even If
they were in the food.
Then began the era OF concen-
trated vitamins in pill form.
You could get one single vita
min or YOU could get the whole
catalogue just to make sure.
And that is still going on.
In fact, there are more vita
minis sold in the United States
today than there are cathartics.
WHAT I am talking about is
w an entirely new develop
ment.
1t is the idea that vitamins
may act not alone like foods,
but like drugs.
They may exert actions on
special tissue that will cause
the tissue TO change IN GER
tain proceSS--Sav degeneration
and reverse the process and
reCenerate.
The most famous example
and the best for illustration was
the nervous d isease named
amyotrophic lateral sclerosls.
It is the disease Lou -Gehrig
had.
Now no one in the highest
fight of Imagination ever sup
posed he didn't get the right
kind of food.
II he didn't. why didn't all
the other members at the train
ing table get the same disease

IN THE seventy-eighth Con-
