Child's Bed-Wetting Nervous Sign;
Test Drug To Aid Spastics, Palsied

the movement of muscles, which
are in constant shaking motion.
Some spastics were injured in
birth. Some acquire the ailment
as the after affect of meningitis or
other serious infection. Some per-
sons, in late life, are stricken by
Parlsinson's disease, which is
characterized by an Involuntary,
rhythmic trembling of the arms
end legs and sometimes also of
the head.
"Now there comes hope that a
new drug, 'Mysanesin,' which is
taken by mouth, may prove help
full in treating spastics. In one
group of fifty-nine patients given
'Myanesin,' all but one were
helped. 1t may be that patients
will have to take daily doses of it,
but that will be small price to
pay. 'Myanesin' seems to have the
effect of giving the spastic patient
control over muscles which here
tofore shook or trembled. 1t is not
yet in commercial production in
the U. S. The small quantities
available are being tested by spe-
cialists.
"If you are injured or sick so
that expert diagnosis by means OF
X-ray pictures is called for, you
want those pictures looked at by
skilled specialist. But you may

tional and family problems and
must be dealt with on that basis.
There is new hope for the half
million spastics in the U. S. in the
drug "Myanesin," which seems to
give patients control over shaking
muscles, according to DR.. Martin
Gumpert, who reports on these
and other advances in medicine,
in Redbook Magazine for Decem-
Der:
"'Blame the parents not the
child say the modern pediatri-
clans when discussing the prob
lem of ordinary bed-wetting.
These children are usually ner-
vous and high-strung, and so are
their parents. DR.. N. w. Clein, a
child specialist, has several sug-
gestions for parents faced with
this problem. Do not punish or
condemn the child. Don't even
talk about bed-wetting in the
child's presence. Do not waken
the child at night. Do not change
bed linens or pajamas except
when making routine changes for
other members of the family. Do
not refuse the child a drink of
water, but give him only one-half
as much as usual. Give no milk
between meals. Avoid all juices.
"Within the U. s., there are
probably half million victims OF
spastic diseases. Most of them are
affected by cerebral palsy or spas
