Ipecac Is Versatile
So. American Medicine

It is an interesting fact that ma
ture should have almost always pro-
vided, the remedy for disease in
the very region where this disease
exists. Ipecacuanha - ipecac for
short - the source of emetine,
which has been found to be almost
indispensable for the cure of
amoebic dysentery, grows in the
same tropical areas where men are
subject to this disease.
Ipecac or poaia - by its formal
name: Psychotria Cor Uragoga) Ipe-
cacuanha is a rather small,
perennial, bushy plant of the Rubi-
acaea family. It appears in clumps
and patches in the warm and damp
forest underground Of tropical eli
mates, and is found in Colombia,
Bolivia, Venezuela and Central
America besides Brazil-its one
and only important producer.
The principal property of ipecac
is the presence in its root of
up to 2.5 per cent of alkaloid eme-
tine, precious, white, odorleSS, bit
ter-tasting substance that turns yell
low when exposed to air and light
and is one of the only cures for
amoebic dysentery. It also yields a
volatile oil, starch, gum, and glu-
coside. Compounds prepared from
it are used as an emetic in internal
poisoning and as an expectorant in
bronchitis and coughs. When COM
bined with opium, in preparation
known as Dover's powder ability
to induce perspiration is brought
into play. Furthermore, by stimulat-
ing secretions when taken in small
doses, it increases appetite and
aids digestion. Many a wailing in
FAINT has been quieted by a dose of
this super-action stomach pump.

WAR BOND STACKER
He buys some war bonds with a
cheer
And roots for 'em in accents clear;
He does it with a grin or laugh
While posing for photograph;
He says, "It's just my duty and
To do my bit this way is grand"
But then at selling out he's spry-
Who wants to be that kind of guy?
He gives no argument at all
When war bond statesmen make o
call;
He even makes pretty speech
About battle on a beach;
But presently he'll turn 'em in;
His staying powers are quite thin;
He is no asset at the bat
Who wants to be an egg like that?
A pox upon this patriot
To be his kind you'd rather not;
Your country's bonds help win the
fight;
They're not for selling overnight!
So buy, and hang on, if you can,
AS if you were fighting man.
How would we fare in days SO tough
If soldiers faith were short-term
stuff?

Whereupon the driver, asking no
questions, drove her straight to the
theater where the picture was play

sent Schary the bill and he paid it.
Anyway, that's the story.
d
Lana Turner and Van Johnson
draw the leading roles in Metros
production of ''The Pirate" which
Lynn Fontaine and Alfred Lunt did
on the stage. This will probably be
one of those pictures that are so gor-
geous to look at that nobody cares
whether there's plot or not. Any
way, who cares about plot if they
can watch the lovely Lana, wear
ing marvellous costumes?

william Powell is going to appear
again as the late Fl0renz Ziegfeld,

first played the Follies producer in
''The Great Ziegfeld," which
brought Luise Rainier an Academy
award.

character based on Henry Kaiser in
''The Man From Frisco" And on

shares honors with Beatrice Kay in
singing old-tirne ditties.

Audrey Young of the Broadway
musical comedy stage, has never
yet been seen on the screen; her
first picture is Paramount "Out Of

though, so, Paramount borrowed
her from RKO for a leading role in
