Abuse Os Sedatives Lead To Mental Disorders

ONE, of the Situations moat commonly encountered by phytfifcians today"“fhsnlts from the * abuse of the sedative drugs. Even the so-called relatively harmless ■ can bring about certain nervous and mental disorders when used to excess. ! J Bromides are often given to induce. tranquillity in the overly-' nervous or excitable person. Unfortunately, many such people continue to use them far beyond, the time anticipated by the physician and thus fall into the bromide habit, and, eventually, into the condition known as bromism. That this; statement in no exag " Reration is shown bythe fact that one out of every 20 persons committed to: institutions for neryouc disorders {fe suffering from this cause. j The chief symptoms of .brom ism are vteakness and drowsiness, with • the patient sometimes becoming stuporous. In some cases, however, the patient may be excited, his speech may be thick and slow or rapid arid muttered. A test of the "nervous reflexes may ' be helpfUll in making .the diagnosis. Eome of the reflexes may be exaggerated, and more rapid and stronger than normal. The symptoms may be extremely Severe at /the start; then improve, only to become worse again a few- days later. However, with projper treatment a gradual recovery takes I j* Lj ’ ' I Treatment consists in giving I the largest doses of sodium or 1 /ammonium chloride that the pa I -tient. can tolerate. In some cases I these preparations given

thing like this, if the uncontested elections of Washington and MonI ■ ■ ; ' '' S ' •' \ ’ roe are excluded. In 1868 General Grant’s political affiliations were not well . known. His memoirs stated later that in 1856, when the Republican party was formed, he had voted for the Democrat, James "Buchanan. In 1860, he did votej but preferred the Southern Democratic nominee, John C. Breckinridge. The party had split into two factions. This suggested that he would be good Democratic timber. On war and post-war . \ / J. ' v - issues, however, Grant was more .in sympathy with the Republicans, aud eventually was nominated by them unanimously. | ** Few .Americans indeed have been acceptable as presidential material to £ll sections and both parties and it is not likely that Eisenhower will be the choice of Democrats and Republicans. ' \ —_<>_ —d— —. The Other Side:— The country is now hearing the Other side in the Gen. MacArthur removal case. Defense secretary Geo. ■ Marshall, / diplomat | and soldier, yesterday gave his ; first testimony before th (e United States senate. Gen. Marshall, paid his respects to his fellow-officer, both are; fivestar generals and then stated: “Gen. MacArthur would have us, on our own initiative, wA? the conflict beyond Korea agamst the mainland of Communist China, both from the sea and from the air. “He would have us accept the risk of involvement not onljflfflan extension, of the war with China, but in an all-out war with the Soviet Union. “He would have us do this even ’ il *'■ a l /- ' 1 I ’ ’ at the expense of losing our allies and wrecking the coalition of free peoples throughout the world.” At one point in the testimony, Marshall said; “There is nothing new. about a theater commander holding divergent views from his • superiors, bat what is new is the wholly unprecedented situation of Geu. MacArthur publicly expressing his displeasure at and bis disagreement with “ the foreign and military" policy of dhe United States.” , . • 1 - - - - - "In this situation, there was no Other recourse but to relieve him (MacArthur),” thd Defense Secretary stated.

satisfactorily by the sodium chloride may be given by injection into the blobd in the .form of a weak solution. In. those patients who may be pufiering from weakness of the heart, ammonium chloride is given in place of sodium chloride. _\ Drugs, such as the bromides, should be used only under the direction of the physician. He can advise what dosage of these preparations can be safely takenand how often the dose can be repeated. Patients suffering from So-called nervousness should not get into’the habit of using bromides day after day. The it is true, are useful drugs in: the treatment of many nervous disorders, including some cases of epilepsy, put they can do more harm than good when improperly employed. | j \ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M.N.: I have shingles, please advise what to do. / i Answer; Shingles or herpes zoster is an inflammatory disease ot the skin in Which there are groups of -blisters distributed along the course. of one or more of tnc nerves in the skin. ■.• A Treatment consists in the use of a laxative at the beginning. Pratts should be avoided. Aureo-' mycin has been found helpful in some cases. The use of certain drugs, such as the salicylates, sometimes hastens recovery, Antiseptic dusting powders, applied to the blisters and covered with a dressing, help. Paraffin applied id the same way it ii ysed on burns also is helpful. ‘Av )

MCGANN’S little boy was going to look like a great detective in the dally prints, he thought with a shudder. His fine new agency was due for a million dollars \ worth of publicity—all bad. Still, he had a choice: he could either solve the case or apply for a bakery route tn East Orange. Tea, it was going to be a great advertisement. Call on the McGann protective agency but first make your wifi. He’d like to see' Ronnie Tompkins’ wilt Now there would be a Juicy item for all concerned. Slowly, the trailing car eased to the curb, behind him,and across the street. McGann stepped briskly over 60th Street, seemed about to pass in front of the Sherry-Nether-land. Suddenly he turned left instead and fan lightly down the steps ot the BMT subway. He pressed a coin into the slot and clicked through the turnstile, then moved swiftly to the edge of the platform and put a post between himsen and the steps. In a moment there was a fearful clatter on the stairs and a bulky figure shoved through the turnstile. McGann peeked around his post. The figure moved agitatedly along the platform and a red face swung Jerkily to and fra McGann came around, pushed a penny into the peanut machine and began a spirited struggle with the mechanism. The bulky figure subsided at sight of him and the red face was poked innocently Into a tabloid the headlines of which’ screamed, "Ronnie Tompkins Mqrdered!" i McGann sauntered to the far end pt the platform. He noticed that Red Face was content to sidle to the middle of the station where he could still keep his quarry in view. A faint roar for down the track mounted steadily in intensity. With a final shattering blast the train/ raced into the station, halted with a violent lurch. Automatic doors Slid back and a score of passengers stepped off. McGann got on. So did Red Face and a dozen others. McGann stayed close to his door. For a moment the train hesitated at the now empty platform. Just as the door started to dose, McGann hopped back to the platform. The train started, gathering speed quickly. McGann thought he could see Red Face glaring through a window of the departing car. He looked around swiftly. The place was almost deserted. Ahead of him stretched an almost interminable platform leading away from the kiosk where he recently had descended. That entrance now would be strictly off limits. Red Face’s partner undoubtedly was sitting up there in his car watching, just in case he slipped away and tried to backtrack The maneuver he had in mind should bring him out somewhere else —at a point where he could not reasonably be expected. | He walked as fast as he could without attracting undue attention until the platform ended in a flight of stairs leading upward and he had to emerge. When he finally gained the sidewalk he had to look around to orient himself. .] Mdls-likA he had passed under

He breathed a brief prayer of thanks for New York. Wonderful city— do matter bow many times you went doWn into the subway, you never came up in the same place twice. Antidote for monotony, too. * He looked at his watch; it waff 9:58. The strategem which had sent Red Face on a ride would not necessarily give McGann the night in which to loiter. If be didn’t* succumb to apoplexy, too much to hope for, the tail would hop off at the next station, call headquarters and flash word by radio to his partner s-ill in the car to be on special lookout. However, he was not likely to do that. McGann grinned happily to himself. It would be too public an announcement that he had been ditched. No, the shadow probably would take the time to return on the next train,, meanwhile preparing his story of how be had paused but a moment to assist the elderly lady only to find that his ungallant tailee had vanished. Approaching the Plaza, be glanced across at Saint-Gaudcns* bronze victory statue of William Tecumseh Sherman, and the line of horses and glistening carriages drawn up along the opposite curb. Lamps flickered at the aides of the ancient vehicles. Some of the equally ancient drivers dozed on the high seats or Stood beside the horses’ heads. The hackles all wore tall silk hats and looked strangely incongruous against the backdrop of modern Manhattan, i' The detective darted between moving cars and gained the Plaza proper. It was gratefully gloomy here; he could barely make out the graceful statue of the lady above the fountain. The waters had been turned off for the season, but there were still enough leaves on the trees to soften the glow of the avenue’s lofty lights. It Was exactly 10 o’clock as McGann approached the fountain. Charity Jones was huddled forlornly on the stone ledge. She had the green coat drawn about her and the hatbox was on the flagstonea On top ot it were the morning tabloids, the only newspapers out at that hour. you waited;** McGann said. She looked up and he could see the hurt shock on her face. Her voice was lower than he bad remembered it from the house. "I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “I must have had ten cups of coffee in a little place over on Lexington, and a boy came in with the papers." "Tm sorry," McGann said. "Yes." She stood up, and he was surprised to see that for a model she was not tall. In heels she would barely come to his line of vision. "He was a dreadfully unhappy man," she said. "But to die like that—it—have they caught her?" "Her who?" McGann said. “Oh." One ot the white gloves went to her lips as though a secret had escaped. She shook her head. "Really, I don’t know why I said that* It’s just...,l guess" —she gestured helplessly — "well, there were so many women in Ronnie’s life I just assumed—" McGann nodded. "It’s a natural assumption," he said. "Still I don’t know why any of them should, want to kill him. He always treated them generously, didn’t he?" He was looking around aven aa

be spoke. The headlights of a car, ' which moved too slowly to please > him, glided south along Fifth Ave- ; nue. McGann half swung, watching it from the till of his eye. By 1 this time, his chum could have returned from his impromptu journey. Chary Jones bent and picked up the ribbon of the hatbox. She let the newspapers slide to the ledge. He could see her better when she again faced him. Her eyes Were clear beneath level brows. "{Mr. McGann," she said, "I realias now from the newspapers that {you knew Ronnie was dead wheh I first came there tonight. You tried to break the news gently—" * ? "Well, there was more to ft. 1—" "Please," she said. "That’s] all right.

The car had swung right around ’the corner into 58th and was creeping west If ft Was Snow White and Red Face tfiey could not have seen him yet; when they spotted him they would either stop dead or speed around the block to find a better place at Which to pull over and observe them. "Why, borne," she said. ( She paused, as if struck by a mid ten thought. Her voice trembled faintly as she added. "Or perhaps I’d save everyone time and trouble if I went directly to the police and told them everything—-just how I called there tonight and you—T "No, don’t do that," McGann said hastily. "It would only confuse them more." She had slipped her arms into the sleeves of the green ioat now and he took her right arm just above the elbow. The car had swung right again, into the little street before the Plaza Hotel, and its course now Would bring it closer to them every instant. | McGann thought rapidly.

Whose dream of marital bliss had been punctured by a ,twlrty-two. . "Move fast," he said. "Spies are closing in."

She walked faster then and they (lodged through traffic. » He helped her quickly up Into a rubber-tired victoria and sprang after her. He thought.

'Cooks' Comer' f- I : - — -] BY MARY SMITH Freeh Rhubarb Time The rhubarb season is here, and pow is the tline to preserve some of the supply for wintertime desserts. Rhubarb Is one of the easiest foods to freeze. You ean freeze rhubarb with or without blanching it. Thojigh most home freezing specialists recommend treating rhubarb with hot water or steam before freezing, It is one of the few products in the vegetable class which can be frozen satisfactorily without a heat treatment—perhaps 'because of. its acidity. Rhubarb shrinks however, so more of it can be packed into a freezing carton when it is blanched. Choose tender stalks for freezing; they should be picked at the stage when best for eating. Pick or bay just the amount you can freeze at one time. If held after harvesting, most vegetables and certain fruits lose some of their flavor and nutritive value. Wash the rhubarb thoroughly in clean cold water. Sort carefully and discard all msterikl that is injured, bruised, or otherwise not up to standard. Cut the stalks into %- inch pieces. To blanch, measure one pound of rhubarb in a wire basket or sieve, and lower into a kettle containing 2 % quarts boiling water. Blanch for 1 % minutes, counting the time from the moment the fruit is put into the water. After blanching, cool at once In a large kettle of cold running water or several kettles of cold water. ’ ! \ ■ ■ A ’ Package fruit quickly. You can pack it with or without sugar. Use ope part by weight of sugar to four or five parts by weight of rhubarb <1 cup sugar to 5 or 6 cdps fruit). Mix it thoroughly with the fruit. To pack it in syrup, 3 cups sugar <o 4 cups water* Pour the sirup over the frujt, use 3 cups sugar to 4 cups water. Pour the sirup over the fruit
