ABUSE or sULFA DRUGS

a reader expresses tt odolys Some time ago I was influenced, by Q physician, to try sulfadlasene for Q sinus condition.
 Perhaps this is the mans way of saying he cadged Q curbstono prescription out Of the doctor.
 took 2l tablets. one three times Q day after meals (continues the newspaper manD, and after the nrxs few doses could feel the discharge drying up and after two or three days the discharge stopped entirely. Then I laid of . while, until 2 noticed the discharge beginning again, then took 2l more tablets with the same result.
 was telling the doctor about the results of the treatment and, much to my surprise. he said I should not take sulfa drugs, they were dangres ouS, etc.
 Evidently he had forgotten an about suggesting that I should try them.
 What I should like to know is whether the drug IS dangerous or whether the physician doesn't know much about tt ...
 Csigned -).
 Yes, any sulfa drug IS dangers ous.
 You did not play fair with the doctor, Mir. Wiseacre. Whether the doctor prescribed the sulfadiaEene or just gave you the name Of the medicine and suggested q tablet three times a day for a week, you decided that you knew as much as the doctor then. and so you went on taking the stun. on your own. And then, still in character. you were 'surpriSed" when you learned that the doctor didn't approve of your adventures in therapeutics. and in the best tradition of the Wiseacre family. you immediatley decided that probably the doctor doesn't know much about it.
 Now, Mir. Wiseacre, you ask my opinion. Here it is. If had a sinus condition" I should not monkey with any sulfs drug. In fact I'd rather worry along in the old-fashioned way with almost any ordinary illness or disease than take any sulfa drug. Maybe f l had grave meningitis or acute septice- mia or one Of two or three other specific infections I'd be willing Co take such medicine under strict su. peFvision of my physician. Not otherwise. That's my opinion.

 Wallace then suggested that FDR issue a statement saying that he favored him for Vsce-Presi' dent.
 The President countered by suggesting that this might hurt rather than help. He suggested that. instead. he might call up the party leaders in New York. Illinois. New Jersey. Tennessee and Missouri and ask them to go down the line for Wallace.
 But Henry felt that a simple statement from the President that he wanted Wallace for Vice-Presi- dent would be more effective.

raising his voice: Waiter! Where's
my drink? The service in here is
punk" Several people at nearby
tables turned TO stare. He pulled out
cigarette and lit it with a shaky
hand.
Argus had heard about Carstairs.
His name was constantly in the
papers for one reason or another.
Supposedly he was heir TO ten mil
lion dollars and his antics were
news. He'd been arrested for
drunken driving and starting fights
in night clubs. He'd been sued for
breach of promise five times. He
was twenty-six. but he looked forty.

peeping from under a powder blue

though over-dressed, she had a trim
build.

"She tells me she's in love with me,
but know it's only my money" The
little blonde said "hello" and sat
down. Ellen introduced Argus and
herself. Derry was decidedly pretty
but she wore too much makeup,
Ellen thought. Her voice surprised
Argus. It's tones were low and
musical and gave the lie to her ex-
ternal get-up.
"May l order you something TO
drink" Argus asked. From her
voice he guessed she might take q
sherry, but he was taken aback q
second time. In quiet, well modulated
tones Derry said: 'I'd like a double
brandy, if you please"
She smiled demurely. you're the

SYNOPSIS

Syria Verne, de luxe model. was
the victim OF fatal bullet fred as
she answered the telephone in her
penthouse apartment to which she
returned soon after midnight fol-
lowing a quarrel with Pierre Stur-
yis, art photographer. Argus Steele,
author and e-stwhile detective, is
reeonstructing the events of the
evening before. He and his friend,
Ellen Curtis, a model, we're in the
swank Penguin Club. During
brief absence of Ellen, Syria had
entered and was greeted by Argus
as an old friend, the one-time Lucy
Callahan who sang in the fearsome
Dancer Martinelli's cafe. She told
Argus that she had signed a Hol-
lywood contract recently. Soon
they are joined by Ellen and
Pierre Sturgis. As Syria and Pierre
are about to leave, the former asks
Argus to phone her, adding in a
whisper: Il may need your help.
