Old Friend Passes

1t is with a deep feeling of sor-
row that Milford learned of the
death of an old friend.
David Kay. 55. who for many
years operated carnivals on the
eastern shore was a regular annual
visitor with his carnival, for many
years.
Many of the senior members of
our fire company and citizenry will
remember this cheerful and Jolly
personality-a friend to all but who
seemed to have a special warm
spot for Milford in his heart.
He suffered a heart attack sew
eral years ago which caused him
TO curtail his activities and finally
resulted in his death.
He is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Roberta Kay and son Step
hen.

DAIRYMEN ADVISED = Dairy
men who let their COWS stay dry
for three or four months each year
can expect to get 500 to 1000
pounds less milk, according 10 Will
liam H. Henderson, Sussex County
Agent.
OF course, a dry period is inn
portant to a COW. It gives her
time to rest, replenish her body
reserves and grow the calf she is
carrying. But six weeks to two
months is plenty of time for all Of
these things, Henderson says.
Shy breeders and cows with
short lactation periods are the
ones that usually stay dry too long,
Henderson says. If possible, such
COWS should be taken out OF the
herd. Certainly heifers from these
cows should not be kept for herd
requirements, because such tenden-
cies are inherited in many cases.
Dairymen will be wen paid for
the time they spend studying their
records to find cows that stay dry
too long. Locating such cows is
easy for farmers who keep WADAM.
OS or DHIA records. Call Mr..
Henderson at the Agricultural Ex-
tension ONCE, Georgetown 1858, for
more information on these record
keeping programs.

Caution: home remedies

ward, under the mothers bed And so, on and on
Many forms of self-decepton in the realm of
folklore are more amusing than important. Copper
nails in the shoes will not ground the pain of
arthritis, but they will do no harm. Going without
hat to encourage the growth of hair is harmless if
futile Removing rubbers Immediately upon enter
ing the house to avoid harm to the eyes is silly
enough, but has no dangerous possibilities.
Where danger begins is when folk medicine is
relied upon in the presence of dangerous disease for
which medical attention should be prompt and
effective. Treating an ordinary sore throat with
gargles hot poultces and laxative tea simply gives
the family comfortable sense of doing right by the
patient, and probably neither hel ps hnders the
recovery. But perssting in such treatment when the
condition fails to improve poses the danger of over
looking Streptococcus sore throat with subsequent
rheumatic fever and maybe damaged heart, or the
possibility of dphtheria.
Wotch for danger signs
Curing moles is a favore pastime Of the amateur
medical advsor-who often burns them with caustic
chemicals. This may indeed be courtng death from
cancer, to which some moles especially prone.
The wisest with mole is either to let it alone

to try their pet remedy.
Whenever any pain persists returns again and
again, the time for home medication has passed.
Headaches perhaps the most common example.
Most people suffer an occasional headache If head
aches persist or recur often the time has come for
a diagnostc search into causes, and effective pro-
fessonal therapy.
No use pretending
The same advice applies to any other persistent
pain, to any inflammation not obviously temporary,
to any lump growing mass. It's no pretending
It's trying this, that or the other home
remedy, whether it comes from an Iroquos chief
tain, from your own grandmother from the latest
fad The time you waste, the less your chances
may be of recovery when, at last, you seek the
treatment you should have sought to begin with.
No, your physician doesn't want you to seek his
help for every little twinge of discomfort. He
expects you to make judicious home use of heat or
cold applied externally for muscles, to treat
common cold by taking to your bed for day or so
to the safe and simple drugs which relieve mild
pain. But for your own good, he hopes that you
will not trust home remedies and self-treatmen too
far. If your illness continues, returns often be-

faith in folk medicine is that some of it was def
nitely effective in percentage of digtalis
for 'dropsy'' due to heart weakness, quinine for
maaral fever, citrus fruit juices to prevent scurvy,
cowpox protection against smallpox, relief of
asthma with mdhudng.
The 'doUble- -bInd'' system
Psychological factors important, too. Perhaps
no force persuasive in favor of folk medicine
the overwhelming desire of the normal person to
get well. This colors his thinking so that when he
does recover, he credits whatever procedure he
thinks was responsible This desire even carries
to the doctor, that in testing modern scien
thc research it is considered necessary to use the
"double-blnd" system, where neither patient
doctor knows what is being given, and thus is not
influenced in the evaluatiOn of results.
Psychology also works the other way. Neurotic
personalities. 'enjoving poor health, constantly
seeking stimuli in remedies each of
which is acclaimed in turn the longsought cure.
So they gravtate from remedy to remedy. and often
from doctor to DOCTOR extolling each adventure
while it lasts.
Folk medicine favors sef-deception. This is es-
pecialy true in certain chronic diseases for which
there exists at this time no sure and effective treat
ment The sufferers from arthritis paraly yses due to
strokes injuries, currently ncurabe diseases such
as multiple sCerOsS, cerebral palsy, ParklnsOnlsm,
and host of other conditions will probably harm
themselves mainly in the pocketbook when they
pursue such popular wio' '-the-wisps royal jelly,
vinegar honey, and other popular novelties.
There is not one ioa of scientific support for any
virtues whatever in royal jelly far human
medicine is concerned. Honey and vinegar are both
useful i'll the kitChen-nothing more Vinegar will
not thin the blood. Honey not good for diabetes.
Garlic good spice: ii has no value in the treat
ment of high blood pressure, is commonly
believed Onions will not protect against colds;
eating carrots will not correct eye defects other than
those due to lack of vitamin A.
Misconceptions about childbirth
Natural interest in childbirth has multiplied the
popular misconceptions surrounding this, the most
dramatic event in human life. Expectant mothers
used to be warned not to raise their arms above
their heads for fear of winding the child's umbcal
cord around his neck. They admonished to
'eat for two, without the necessary qualifying
advice that this meant, not quantity, but selective
eating for better nutrition of mother and child. The
premature baby born at the seventh month
given better chance of survival than the eight
month baby-pure nonsense! BirthmarkS and NAL
formations attributed to shocking experiences
suffered during pregnancy marking the baby

impossibility The pains of childbirth supposed
to be cut in half by placing sharp knife. edge up
