Life-Saving Sulfonamides and Reactions

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IT’S an old and very wonderful story that the sulfonamide drugs have saved the Ilves of thousand* of people suffering from a wld«variety of Infections. What Is • newer Is tWe fact that, helpful as they are. these drugs may also have every now and then unpleasant reactions. For this reason they should always be used with care and under the direction of the physician. Skin rashes of various kinds seem particularly to result from the use of sulfonamide drugs. To Kether with the rash there may be fever, neuralgia, headache and ehills. Within Few Hours Sometimes the skin rash appears Within a few hour* after the pa tlent starts to take the drug In other Instances from one to two weeks may pass before any akin dlstarbar.ee appear* According to Dr Osgoode ft. Philpott of Denver, the skin rash nay be In the form of • redness of the skin mack like that which ocean la scarlet, fever. in other rases there may be swellings varying in slse from a pea to a dollar, appearing on the arms and legs face and neck. Sometimes there ia a rash like Uvea. In other canoe. Chore may be swelling of the lips with a great deal ol iUWtag la srttU

"It isn’t worth the price of the paper that It’s printed on," for on a tonnage basis the average paper will nearly give its value In paper I alone. Q o There is some unemployment in Indiana, due to weather conditions and lack of materials, u survey has disclosed. The number of nonveterans drawing job insurance checks stands at about 13,100 each I week. Last week there were 20,195 ■ Indiana veterans drawing 52-20 I dub benefits, a drop of 1,000 from the first of the year. o Q Plans are underway to build log cabins In McCormick's Creek state park for a family of four, and with meals at the hotel, cost |sff a week. Hoosiers would tx> glad to see such a venture completed. It should be state policy to rent the cottages to Indiana residents, ahead of out-of-state customers, for the average person experiences difficulty in obtaining reserva- ; tions at state parks. o o Another tax reduction bill has been cooked-up in congress and Speaker Joe Martin says that this time- it is a go. it is planned to

make the cuts retroactive to January 1, and if congress can agree on a bill, the average taxpayer will be glad to accept the saving. With all the talk about reducing governmental expenses, the taxI payer should come in for a slice in his tax hill pretty soon. o o Observers at United Nations Headquarters report that the recently dedared policy of the United States in regard to Greece and Turkey will have the effect of forcing America into a position of strong leadership in the United Nations. Had it not been for ' Russia's blocking tactics, an International military fori* might havebeen an actuality by this time, in I i which case the matter of Greece could have beep turned over to the UN for administration. People arc turning out by the i tens of thousands for all kinds , of shows. Convention halls and civic auditoriums, empty through the war years, have found the * public flocking through their doors. ( Sports shows in various parts of | the country have had crowds ot ■ would-be vacationists looking over guns, fishing tackle, and camping equipment. Flower shows, home building and equipment shows, all have been so well attended that there was difficulty in seeing the exhibits. Dog shows have bad maximum entries and throngs ot animal lovers as spectators. The American people, like Romans of old. like these exhibitions, ail of which stem from the old time Roman circus.

When Applied Locally Not only may these various type* of rash develop when the snflonainide drugs are taken by mouth, but also when they are applied locally to a skin ulcer, a bum or other skin disorders. In treating these skin conditions due to the sulfonamide <frugs, of course, the first thing to 'Io is to stop the use of the drug. Soma physicians have found that the giving of large doses of vitamin C may he helpful. The patient should also take plenty of fluids In order to help ward off any blockage of the flow of urine, due to collection of crystals of the sulfonamide drug in the kidneys. Cool compresses and soothing lotions may be applied to the affected parts of the akin. If necessary to relieve the symptoms. If the physician hi In doubt as to whether or not a skin rash Is due to one of the sulfonamide drugs the simplest test which he makes is to atop the use of the drag If there is a prompt improviment when the drug la shipped It almost definitely proves that th* rash te due to the sulfonamide prepare-ion.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE OVER THE hump! Not *ince Pablo rescued hftn from the Blacklander* had Cliff felt such a deep thrill of release. This first cargo was the hardest step of a!L Now they would be eligible for their first payment—and only he and Casey knew how sorely they needed that money. From now on, with their rubber gatherers gaining experience. the next cargo would be easy. They might even double it Too excited for work. Cliff called to Janet, “How'* about a celebration 7 Weren't there some cases of beer with our •upplie*?’* “They’re In th* warehouse, marked Hand* Off.” “Well, It'* *hands on’ tonight And tell Wing Toy we want winething special for dinner. Bribe him to mak* some pie* —and none of that canned spinach he’s been dosing us with.” Jubilantly Cliff beckoned to Casey. "Lx't's go put that beer tn the river to cool.” Responsive to the contagion of Cliff's mood, Janet spent the afternoon In the cook-shack, planning dinner with Wing Toy, helping him fill chocolate pies; then going out into the Jungle, she returned with duster? of flower* for th* me** tables. It was almost *uppertime when she hurried over to her own quarters, putting on a dress for the occasion, sweeping up her hair, and pinning on a small white orchid. The men too had caught the mood of celebration. Work for the afternoon stopped an hour early, and the smell of Wing Toy's pies drew many a curious nnse to the cook-shack. Janet noticed more than one slicked head, and an unusual number of clean shirts.

Never had Wing Toy sounded the supper gong so vigorously; never had the response been so prompt. Casey, his face shining from the effect of an almost abandoned safety razor, took his place at one end of the table, Janet besid- him, and Cliff at the head. Behind him, wearing a grin of pure culinary bliss, stood Wing Toy, a steaming platter in his hands, while ranged on either side of the iong tables the men sat, their faces turned expectantly toward Cliff. At sight of them his eyes softened. It had been their dogged determination, their unswerving loyalty to him end to the job that made this celebration possible. His hand swept out toward the tables, crowded with food. “Go to it, you big bohunks—no gang on earth ever deserved *.t more." A laugh, a clatter of knives—then an instant silence. A shadow had fallen across the doorway, and Wade Carroll stood *utside the meas-halL Cliff waved to him. "Come on In. You're just in time tor a banquet" But the hunter did not move, and something tn his eyes brought Cliff a premonition of disaster. It seemed a full minute before Wade spoke. "I don't guess m be very welcome at a time like this. Mr. Bogard," he said dubiously. "I gut ktnda bad news." The room had gone completely stm. "Those barges of rubber," the reluctant voice _went on. “somebotty cut 'em on his

where the barges had been moored and noticed to bls surprise that they were gone. He stopped his launch to Investigate. The hawsers that had moored the barges to shore were hanging loose in the water, and lifting them, Wade saw they had been cut with an ax. Thoroughly alarmed, he made downstream at full speed, but reached the rapids too late. Three barges had overturned; a fourth, wedged between rocks, still held part of Its cargo—the rest of the rubber was strewn lor miles along the river. When Wade finished no one spoke. All eyes had fixed on CHIT. Not a man within the silent room who did not know what the loss of that cargo meant. Outwardly Cliff gave no sign; only his voice was slower than usual as he said, **We better go take a look, Casey. You boys finish your supper." But at the door he stopped. It seemed as if ages had passed since he entered that room, happier than he had been In months. The men still sat before their untouched plates; steam was rising from the platter in Wing Toy's motionless hands, and Janet's eyes, big with unspoken sympathy, were on him. He hurried down the path. Midnight had passed when he returned, but Janet was waiting for him in the office, and from the weary lines in his face she knew that Wade's story had been true. He gave a short smile at her questioning face, and threw himself into a chair, while she poured him a glass of iced coffee. He drank it at a gulp. “Thanks" A minute passed, then quietly he said, "Well, they got us in a big way." "But who did it, Clift?"

“Blacklandcrs, I suppose. Whoever they were, they knew our habits pretty well. They cut those tiargcs loose in full daylight, just after the last shift came dowm to camp and before the night guard went on duty. Four barges smashed against the rocks—but that’s not so important. The thing that hits us where it hurts is the loss of the rubber." “Is it really lost?" she asked. “It's scattered downstream for miles. Some of it we can get back, but it will take weeks." His eyes moved to the calendar. "And we have just four days." He reached for a sheet of paper. “I better radio the coast and cancel that freighter." As he started to write, she laid her hand on his. “Cliff, does this mean—we're through?" “I don’t know. I'm going to cable Washington for a months extension. I hate to do it —and I’m not even sure that a month will help. But it'll give us room to turn arouiu in." "Are things as bad as that?" Her voice was soft with commiseration. "Actually worse. Even if they extend the Ume, I'm not sure 1 have enough money to carry on for another month." Ho finished writing his cable while she sat watching him. and as he rose from his desk she said, "CUff—" -Ymf “Cliff, if six hundred dollari
