DR.. Krause Reports
On Use Of Engine
To Treat Ulcers

Recent strides of medical research
in the treatment of 'irreversible
shcck," ulcers and arsenic poison
ing were described last night by DIR.
Louis A. M. Krause, associate pro-
fessor of medicine at the University
of Maryland.
DR.. Krause, who was on the
staff of the chief Of medical service
at Walter Reed Hospital during the
war, addressed a joint meeting of
the District Medical Society and
the District Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation.
He told several hundred doctors
and pharmacists, assembled in the
Medical Society Building at 1718
M street NV, that developments
in the study of cytochrome C were
potentially of great Signifiance in
cases where an increase in the
amount of oxygen supplied to the
patient was indicated.
Acts on Blood Cells.
Cytochrome C, he declared, acts
as a catalyst permitting the pa
tents blood cells to absorb more
oxygen and halting the formation
Of vaso-depressive material. Through
it's use, hes said, "irreversible shock"
was overcome in a number of ami
mails to which 1t was experimentally
administered.
An engine known as enterogas-
trone has been used successfully in
the treatment of ulcers in dog,
DR.. Krause revealed. A medical
cure of ulcers is still being sought,
he pointed out, since surgical treat
ment has not reached satisfactory
development.
Another field in which recent
research has proved fruitful, he
declared, is in the development of
British Anti-Lewisite (B. A. L. to
combat arsenic poisoning. The Eng
lish development, made under war
time stress when German use of
Lewisite gas was feared, is an en-
lyme which 'competes" for arsenic
and draws it away from an organ
ism, permitting recovery from its
toxic effects.
Regulations Discussed.
The meeting also was addressed
by Prof. Charles w. Bliven, acting
dean of the George Washington
University School Of Pharmacy.
Prof. Bliven discussed the desirable
ity of Federal regulations requiring
the pharmacist to place warning
notices on potentially harmful pre-
scriptions, concluding that the physi-
clans "prerogative to determine
what shall and shall not be included
on the label of the prescription"
should not be assumed by the
pharmacist.
He also read excerpts from a pro-
posed District act regulating the
sale, handling and distribution of
barbiturates to safeguard the public
from improper dispensing of such
drugs, which have a sleep-producing
reaction.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tons views on pharmaceutical prac-
tices were represented by DR.. Robert
P. Herwick, director Of the agency's
medical division. Members of the
two medical societies also heard DR..
Worth B. Daniels, clinical professor
of medicine at the Georgetown
University School of Medicine, who
deplored improper conpounding Of
drugs by some drug manufacturers.

The publishers advertise this book
as "the strangest story of mar

the claim, colossal as it is.
The author has made a bold ap-
proach to a subject generally con-
sidered taboo. He has done a cred
ible study of the psycho-patholog-
ical force which hurtled mar
riage to tragic denouement.
Outwardly, Herbert Dawes is q
normal, respectable citizen and a
happily married man. But he Is
strangely averse to having his wife
bear children and he insists upon
a peculiarly mannish cut to her
clothes. He manifests other aber-
rations which finally impel his wife
to take up his case with psy-

The latter quickly diagnoses the
case, but the conclusion is too
startling for the wife to accept. She
is supported by the family physi-

who adheres to the notion that
mental doctors are interlopers and
charlatans. He insists that Dawes
is as masculine as Zeus.

Dorothy James Roberts, author OF
"a Durable Fire." and "A Man Of
Malice Landing" has gone back to
the scenes OF her childhood in the
West Virginia mountain country for
a setting for her latest novel, "The
Mountain Journey"
Miss Roberts uses an interesting
dramatic effect in bringing to her
readers the story of West Virginia
mountain and the people who dwell
thereon. The entire action Of her
novel occurs in the hours between
the first birth pangs felt by a
woman and the delivery of her
child on the mountain top.
In telling the story Of CAGE Mar
low and his wife, Laurel, and Of
their walk across the mountain to
the hospital after an unexpected
landslide had blocked the only road,
Miss Roberts manages to convey
both the good and the evil that is
to be found among primitive people.
The Marlows were an oil family,
and for nearly 100 years had been
connected with the life of the
mountain. They had brought in
money in developing the oil re-
sources, had lost some Of their
fortune and then had regained part
of their losses. The story Of the
Marlows and their mountain and
its people is told by CAGE as they
trudge up the mountain in the hope
that its telling will divert Laurel's
thoughts from her condition.
The night of their journey was
an eventful one. And as CAGE and
Laurel moved upward in company
with Payne, a half Greek, half
Chinese stray who has worked in
the NARROW oil fields they encoun-
tered the best and the worst Of the
mountain people.
On the mountain side they met
a young mountain boy who was
being hunted down by men and dogs
to avenge spell his mother was
supposed to have cast upon another
child. and they met the best in an
old teacher who had dedicated his
life to humanism.
Much of the power of Miss
Roberts novel comes from her ex-
pert knowledge OF the oil industry
and of the West Virginia people
connected with it. ''The Mountain
Journey" is an effective book.
