Two Types Of Medicine


In short, in our medicine closet
we have for the digestive system
calmer-downers and pepper-up-
pers.
Among the calmer-downers both
for muscular movements and Sc
cretions are atropine, or its newer
preparation, syntropan, and ira
sentin, and also morphine, opium,
paregoric, pantopon and prostig-
mine.
Calmer-downers of the secre-
tons alone, or rather neutralizers
of the irritating secretions, are BIZ
carbonate Of soda (baking soda)
and aluminium hydroxide.
The pepper-uppers of muscular
movements of the digestive tract
are the great class of the cathar-
tics. To increase secretions about
the only effective drug we have is
histamine, although, as / noted
above, we have a good supply Of
requirements Of lowered seere-
tions.
For household purposes, and
this includes the general prac-
titioner, three medicines suffice for
treatment Of indigestion or con-
stipation: fluid extract Of cascara
sagrada, the best and least harm
full of the cathartics; paregoric for
COLES; and bicarbonate of soda.
Lots Of people use soda pretty
regularly even if they do not have
ulcer. 1t is relatively harmless
habit. 1t relieves the little dis
comforts Of acid Indigestion. Some
people blush and blanch easily.
Some peoples stomachs gush cas-
lily. For them soda il an ever
ready friend.

Your Health
Dyspeptia Not

BY logan cIsndsnnInu, M. o.

SINCE THE function Of the d.
gestive system is to get food into
such chemical condition that it can
be utilized for energy purposes by

the body, one might assume that
disturbances of the digestive sys-
tenn were largely caused by the
wrong kind Of food and such diff
eulties could be adjusted by rear
ranging the food or, in short, by
diet.
This assumption is about so per
cent right. Where it breaks down
is, first, that by the nature of its
functions, taking in all kinds of
material from the outside world,
material subject to contamination,
the digestive system is very liable
TO infections, such as appendicitis
and gallbladder inflammation and
in these fields surgery is the meth.
cd of treatment of choice; and,
second, that the primitive diges-
tive tube is intimately hooked up
with the primitive nervous system
and peoples emotions upset the
digestion very profoundly so that
treatment by psychology is appi-
cable in about rs per cent Of cases
Of digestive disorders.
In the 80 per cent Of dyspeptic
cases that are not best treated by
either surgery or psychotherapy,
the wisest treatment is by a COM
bination of diet, drugs and physio-
therapy, which last means exer-
else, massage, water, climate and
electricity.
Use Of Drugs
We discuss diet to consider
able extent in this column, so in
this article let us concentrate on
the use OF drugs in digestive dis
orders.
Looking at the digestive sys-
tenn with an eye for seeing what
medicines can do for it, we should
conceive of it as a muscular tube,
constantly writhing to accomplish
its functions, and also conceive
Of the inner surface of this mus
cular tube as having a flow Of Sc
cretions poured over it.
Theoretically both the muscular
movements and the secretions Of
the digestive tract can be either
~ normal, or, (2) excessive. or,
(3) sluggish-and this classified
ton works out in practice. And,
fortunately. we have a long list
of very effective medicines, or
drugs, or chemicals, whatever you
want to call them, which will
either slow down or increase the
movements or the secretions Of
the stomach, intestines and their
large accessory glands, the PAN
creas and the liver. If we cannot
increase the secretions we can re-
place them as with pepsin, hydro
lchloric acid, pancreatin and bile
salts.

THE JAPANESE
EMANCIPATION LEAGUE

A group known as the japanese
Peoples Emancipation League s
working in North and Central China
for the overthrow of Japanese mill
tarism and the establishment of a
democratic Japanese state Its chief
techniques at the present time are
education and propaganda
Organized along lines reminiscent
of the Free Germany National Com
mittte in Russia, the League operates
in areas controlled by the Chinese
Eighth Route Army. It's membership
has been recruited among Japanese
war prisoners, deserters, Japanese
residents in China and labor leaders
who escaped from Japan. Although
the exact membership figure is now
known, it is estimated at 300 or more.
According to reports from China,
activities of the league include mass
meetings, radio broadcasting, the dis
semination of pamphlets, correspon-
dence with Japanese soldiers and the
of comfort packages" to
Japanese troops. Emancipation league
serve as translators, psy-
warfare officers, instruc-
tors in Japanese methods of fighting
and intelligence officers.

legitimate interest. believe also
that the irrigation, flood control and
power development authorized to
be done by the Bureau of RecIama-
ton and the Army Engineers would
be completed more rapidly under a
Missouri valley authority than they
will otherwise"
Chapman based his claims of supe-
riority for a valley authority on the
fact that it would be a government
corporation like the IVA which can
operate more efficiently in some re-
spects than a government bureau or
department because it can use effect
ual methods of management which
have been developed by private indus
try and not easily utilized by bureauc-
racy.
He said the IVA has demonstrated
in 10 years not only great business
efficiency, but it has brought social
and economic advantages to millions
of people in the valley who would now
rise up in wrath to defend IVA should
any effort be made to destroy it. That
fact, in his opinion, should silence
those who claim valley authority is
not in the general public's interest.
The iva has taken no rights away
from the towns, counties or states in
which it operates On the other hand,
iva officials work in harmony with
all municipal, county, state and other
federal officials on all economic and
social problems in the valley, he said.
From 1885 to 1913, Chapman said,
IVA had reduced the price of cleo
tricity in the valley by half and
had increased its use by five times.
He told of visiting a hillside farm
which in 1885 and for years prior
thereto had produced not more than
500 annual gross income, but which
this year will have a gross income
of more than $4,000 from agricultural
produce. you can't credit all that
increase to improved farm prices" he
asserted.
Chapman's talk, though not so in
tended, was the climax of the north
ern plains conference, because many
Of those in attendance, if not openly

Many questions were directed at o. S.

poken earlier in the afternoon on the
development program for joint opera
ion by army engineers and the. bu-
eau of reclamation on the develop
nent of the upper Missouri valley.
While answering some of them as
natter of information, Warden re-
used to be drawn into a position of
icing either opposed to or in favor of
n MVA. He expressed the greatest
confidence in the progress of con-
truction work and other phases of
development of the valley under the
oint operations of the bureau of rec
and the army engineers.

NEW YORK (WDL)-Penicillin re-

by authorities running the Civilian
Public Service Camp 35 at Germfask,
Michigan, caused DR.. Don Charles De

of labor draft.
DR.. DeVault, soft spoken conscien-

papers on chemistry published, finally
decided he would only report for work
on penicillin or related projects. He

REPORT OF WORK
I'M SUPREME
COURT FOR week

November 21st-State of Montana
v. r. F. Hanks, appealed from Gala
tin county, Bozeman. Unanimous
opinion of the court prepared by Chief
Justice Howard A. Johnson.
Held: Where the defendant Hanks
appealed from a conviction of the
crime of obtaining property by false
pretenses, it was held that the judg-
ment of conviction be affirmed. Hanks
held himself to be the agent of
person by the name of L. d. Neavitt
and as such agent purchased a buck
skin stallion from r. A. Shumate and
gave Shumate a check which pur-
ported to be signed by Neavitt. The
check proved to be worthless and the
evidence showed that no one by the
name of Neavitt had any connection
used this name to procure the horse
for himself On appeal the court
found the evidence to sustain the
Judgment of conviction.
The defendant, beside claiming in
sufficiency of the evidence, also con-
tended that the information was faul-
ty in that it did not allege the owner
ship of the horse to be in Shumate.
The information contained no specific
allegation of ownership but did con-
tain the statement that Hanks had
defrauded Shumate of a buckskin
stallion. The state claimed that that
charge was sufficient to establish
ownership in Shumate. The supreme
court, however, did not pass upon the
sufficiency of the statement to allege
ownership but laid down the definite
rule that in cases of this character
neither an allegation of actual own
ership, nor the allegation of facts
showing such ownership is essential"

He reminded them that their
prosperity depended entirely
on purchasing power in the
hands Of the people; that suffi-
cient money must go into pay
envelopes to make it possible for
workers to buy back the things pro-
duced
No Profit in Idle Plants
There is no profit" he said, in
things that are not produced, or in
things produced and not sold. The
basic problem is to see that the nee
eessary purchasing power flows into
the hands of those who will use it to
increase their standard of living"
Eccles summarized the postwar
problem by saying that Sin order for
56,000,000 workers to have jobs,
enough money must be spent to buy
the output of 100000 workers"
He insisted the government should
"underwrite and guarantee a national
minimum income" By this method,
and this method only, he contended,
''can a floor of purchasing power be
placed under our economy"
Other Problems Can Wait
Reduction of taxes and other prob
lens have their place in reconversion
discussions, Eccles conceded, but in
the final analysis the long run pro-
gram calls for full employment at
good wages"
Proposals that disregard this funda
mental factor, he said, "are mere
wishful thinking" If there is to be
prosperity, it must start at the bot
tom, he declared, and added:
"a highly developed nation like our
own, with demonstrated capacity for
providing a standard of living for all |
of the people far higher than anything |
we have ever known, can afford to
provide a national minimum of in
come, as well as comprehensive sys-
TENS of education, health and old-age |
security. 1t cannot afford to do less" |
