FRESH AIRS
RETURN HOME
Friendly Town Visitors De-
parted For New York
Tuesday Evening
SPONSORED BY LIONS

Anyone doubtful of the good that
is done by entertaining children
from New York for two weeks
should be on hand on the day of
arrival, then go to the Clayton
Station to see them off two weeks
later, and their doubt would vanish.
The small group of young guests
left on Tuesday evening, and they
were not the same boys and girls
who arrived two weeks ago. Their
clothes were cleaner, their eyes
were brighter, some had grown a
little in height, and all had grown
in spirit. Laughter and a sense of
belonging was evident in their
manner and their expressions. All,
that is, except little Angel Santez,
a thin, dark Cuban child, who lives
in one small room in Manhattan
with his parents and a sister and
brother. Little Angel had stayed
on a farm near Sudlersville, Md,
and although some Improvement
had been made in his attitude, he
was still a forlorn lost little boy,
not ready to mix happily with the
other children. However, there is
another side to the picture; he had
so we'll adjusted himself within the
two weeks that he is looking for
ward to a visit with his hosts again
at Christmas. The leave-taking
was enlivened by the presence on
the station platform of several
Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies,
in their boxes ready to ship, one
as far as California. They proved
source of merriment to the child
ren, especially one sad puppy, who
walled his grief at being shipped
SO far away. The Smyrna Lions
Club, through the chairman. John
HI. Fearon, expresses appreciation
to all those who made visits possi-
BILE for the children. There is no
way to measure the happiness ex-
perieneed by the children, nor the
widening of their horizons.

NEW DRUG TO
FIGHT DISEASE
Thephorin Found Remarkably
Effective in Treatment of
ParkinsOnism
JOURNAL OF MEDICINE

A new drug, Thephorin, which is
chemically unrelated to any other
drug now used in medicine and
which combines both an antihis-
taminic and atropine-like action,
has been found remarkably effec-
tive in the treatment of Parkin-
sonism, it is reported in the cur
rent issue of the New YORK State
Journal of Medicine by DR.. F. M.
Berger of the University of Roch-
ester. One of the so-called gauge
of age" diseases, Parkinsonism us
'ually occurs between the ages of
fifty and fifty-five. 1t is first dis
tinguished by tremors, although
these may be preceded by rheuma-
told pains and weakness of the ex-
tremities. Following the onset of
the disease, the tremors are ac-
companied by muscular rigidity,
halting movement and difficult
speech. The cause of Parkinson's
disease is as yet unknown, but it
is thought to be a degenerative
process of the midbrain. This de-
generative process may sometimes
result from vascular disease, such
as arteriosclerosis, or it may result
from an earlier attack of encepha-
litis.
AS reported in the Journal, a
total of "a patients were treated
with thephorin. The drug was ef-
fective in 13, or slightly more than
half of the cases. Improvement
was noted within one to two days
after the treatment was begun, and
the full effect became apparent af-
ter one or two weeks. Patients who
were unable to turn themselves
over in bed prior to medication
with thephorin found such move
ments possible one or two days af-
ter taking the new compound. 9th
er patients were able to feee and
dress themselves and carry out
finer movements. Locomotion was
greatly improved, and in some in
stances striking results occurred,
as in the case of a patient who had
been confined to his chair for two
years. Following treatment with
the new drug compound, he was
able to return to work as hotel
porter.
According to DR.. Berger's find
ings, thephorin, which was develop
ed by Hoffman-La Roche, is the
most effective drug yet found for
symptomatic relief of Parkinson's
disease. Unlike drugs heretofore
used, where one has proved benefi-
cial in treatment of post encepha-
litic Parkinsonism, and another
beneficial in Parkinsonism thought
to be vascular in origin, the new
drug appears to be equally effec-
tive in all types of Parkinson's
disease.
DIR. Berger's work was conducted
under grants from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
and the Council on Pharmacy and
Chemistry of the American Medi-
cal Association.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Mistakes That Cause Miqraine
BY DR.. James w. Barton

TOR many years, physicians have
= been searching for the cause of
migraine-one-sided headache ac-
companied by nausea and vomit-
ing. When it was discovered that
ergotamine tartrate (gynergen) or
inhaling pure oxygen would stop the
attack in the majority of cases, pa
tients and some busy physicians
did not seek further for the cause.
Research and clinical physicians
always try to find the cause of an
ailment and prevent attacks. Thus,
in the Boston number of Medical
Clinics of North America" Dr.
Ruskin Graham, Harvard medical
school, states:
s "Any doctor who has seen
his patient with a full-blOwn
migraine attack will realize
that it is a violent experience,
the frequent repetition of which
may make serious inrOadS on
life and livelihood, in some
cases actually causing total in
capacity"
Because migraine is such a Sc
rious ailment, Dr. Graham sug-
gests investigation from various
standpoints-the history of the be-
ginning of the attacks, how often
Arizona sun., 1949-01-28
By DON MOORE

attacks occur, other symptoms
present besides headache, how
much relief is obtained by treat
ment used, any family history OF
headache. any injury that may
have occurred.
There should be a thorough
physical examination, then a
mental and emotional analysis.
For some of the mistakes in
everyday living that are fac
tors in causing or aggravating
migraine are:
Cd Getting up too late in the
morning and hurrying breakfast
and stool habits; (2) Working stead
lily through the day without any
breaks; 90 Staying up too late at
night; (4) Not enough time off for
relaxation or recreation; (5) Too
much concern about household du-
ties and cleanliness; co Too much
starch food; CD Too much extra or
outside work and esponsibilities
(8 Trying to do too many things
in one day or week.
The ergotamine tartrate treat
ment is still considered best in
severe attacks, while acetylsalicylic
acid (aspirin) appears to control
mild attacks.
Arizona sun., 1949-01-28

Answer: Not always, of course;
the person who shows the most
obvious brilliance often is too self
absorbed to love at all. But love
is, as Shakespeare put it, ''of i'm
agination all compact" so that
men and women of superior intel
ligence may both "see" more in
the people they love and set up
richer, if more complex relation
ship with them. The man to whom
his wife is just "a good old gal"
may be truer to her than poet
would be, but he won't appreciate
her beauty or her talents as well,
or get as much thrill from being
married to her.

you nervous?

Answer: No, but they may make
you realize the existence Of emo
tional disturbances which you've
managed to repress when awake,
though they do not always show
what these are. For the difference
between sleep and waking is that
while you sleep your "self-con-
troll relaxes and lets feelings
which you have refused to recog-
nize break through enough to mar
your slumbers.. This may make
you wake up tired" but it still
acts as a safety-valve which on
the whole relieves your inner ten
sions more than it intensifies them.
