WORRY CLINIC

George W. Crane, Ph.D., M.D.

Rex is the pioneering type of teacher who will make his course on "Practical Medicine” the talk of the entire school. For students relish useful information. So do their parents! And local doctors will gladly donate an hour’s lecture, too!

CASE X-535: Rex P., aged 28, is a teacher. "Dr Crane,” he began, “I want to follow your advice and schedule a high school class in ‘Practical Medicine.’ “Have you any suggestions about what I should cover? "And are there any simple experiments or classroom demonstrations that would appeal to students and yet be relevant?

PRACTICAL MEDICINE

Parents, as well as the students, will relish such a course, which may include these among other innovations:

(1) Ask students to come to the front and strike a safety match. Most of them violate the safety rule of the Japanese and thus pull the match TOWARD them as they strike it. You can later let a student try to whittle with a pocket knife, using a small stick of wood Again, be sure he pushed the knife AWAY from himself. (2) Employ the ‘‘Dieting Booklet” below and have the pupils try to get their plump parents to stay on that diet for at least 10 days. Let them learn the approximate caloric values of various food portions, such as a slice of bread, a hot dog, a banana, an egg, etc. And teach them about the "specific dynamic action of protein,” which loses 15 percent of its calories in the process of digestion. No other food does this! (3) Warn them, too, that there

is no storage of protein, so their hearts need fresh protein every day! There is plenty of sugar, fat and starches in the body, even when you are quite slender. (4) Demonstrate artificial respiration techniques, including both mouth-to-mouth resuscitation as well as the Schaefer method The latter, if you place a folded coat or pillow under the abdomen, is still an excellent method. (5) Explain that oxygen is the main remedy for heart attacks.

so victims should breathe deeply, to avail themselves of the 20 percent oxygen in the air. (6) Invite local physicians to explain in simple language the mechanics of cataract removal from the eye, as well as other standard surgical operations. An articulate doctor, with some appropriate charts or blackboard diagrams, can clarify surgery even better than if you were an eye witness at the operating tabled (7) Borrow a microscope from the botany department and let students see red blood corpuscles, as well as the various kinds of white blood corpuscles. If you are near a hospital, its pathologist would gladly give you a superb demonstration with stained slides. (8) Let the students take each other’s blood pressure, using a borrowed stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. (9) Invite a dental surgeon to explain the "drifting” of teeth, plus the methods for straightening of crooked teeth, etc.

(10) Ask a local obstetrician to explain the mechanics of birth and the dangers from venereal infection, abortion, etc. Local dental surgeons, physicians and other experts will gladly donate an hour or more to help you pioneering teachers thus practicalize medicine! But don’t let your study of physiology and medicine become “highbrow” or academic. Instead, keep it PRACTICAL with many demonstrations! Send for my booklet “How to Lose 10 Pounds in 10 Days,” enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25 cents.

Nixon Price Freeze May

By BILL N El KIRK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — In freezing prices for up to 60 days, President Nixon may have permanently etched wageprice controls into the U.S. economy, a result he deeply' wants to avoid. The President admitted the failure of his largely voluntary Phase 3 program, the system of wage-price restraints he devised as a transition to a free

only a few months ago. When he dumped the mandatory wage-price control system, in favor of Phase 3 on Jan. 11, Nixon said his move could “mean ever greater price stability with less restrictive bureaucracy.”

He predicted Phase 3 would hasten the return of the nation’s free-market system. But inflation exploded in the first four months cf the year. t; J Consumer prices rose at an an- PI nual rate of 9.2 per cent. Food J prices alone went up at an an-

’Fix Anything Guys’ May

In the fall, lawns can be patrolled with power leaf blowers, which pile leaves up, or power leaf vacuums, which suck them into a big bag.

economy. But runaway inflation changed his plans. Nixon chose the strongest option before him, a new price freeze, and said it would be followed by a tough, new mandatory system of wage-price controls to be known as Phase 4. In announcing his new program Wednesday night, Nixon was haunted by his words of assurance about the economy

B\ PA UL RECER A P Aerospace Writer SPACE CENTER! Houston (AP) — Space agency officials decide today whether the “fix anything guys of Skylab 1 should tackle another spacewalk repair job. Aboard the orbiting laboratory, astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz scheduled a short work day. They plan to go to

sleep two hours early, the first step in preparations for their return to earth next week. Conrad and Weitz will aim Skylab earth resources cameras at sites they tried to photograph earlier in the mission but missed because of instrument problems. The picture-taking starts on the coast of Oregon and continues as the spacecraft passes over the western United States,
