New Drug, Protamide, Hailed • As Aid in Treating Shingles

I By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A NEW drug extracted from the stomach of the hog may finally give us long-sought relief from the pain of shingles. Little has been known about relieving this distress up to now. Over the years, shingles has been one of the most unpleasant bt man’s maladies, though it Is pot usually dangerous to life. Most doctors agree that shingles lean be traced to a virus Infection of the nerves. It Is a frequent complication of chronic and disabling diseases; Is more common after the age of fifty, and occurs , more often in men than women. First Symptoms h An attack of shingles usually occurs in early summer or late : autumn. Three or four days before It actually appears there may be chills and a feeling of exJ. trerne weariness. On the fourth or fifth day of these symptoms, different parts of the skin break out in a crop of small blisters around a red base. The pain from these blisters is severe. Eventually they dry up and scab. Many times blisters occur over the. heart area Sometimes they are mistaken for a severe heart *i attack before they actually break out. I V •* To relieve shingles, a new drug ; named protamide was recently < tested. This drug is derived from I substances taken from the lining . membrane of a hog’s stomach.

■ ance the Legion commander said tljat we could not win against Communism through defensive ■ strategy. Offensive tactics may not be the solution of world troubles, either . President Thruman replied to the American Legion ,-convention, ; which again»demanded the ouster of Dean Acheson with a bit of adfvice to the leaders: “If they had the responsibility for choosing a retary of state, they would pick Dean Acheson, the best man for •the job in the country." Mr. Acheron has been the target of congressional and political enemies for several years, but goes right ahead with his work, accomplishing fai- more in national and international lindCrstanding than do his critics. His leadership in uniting European nations is one of the Outstanding strokes toward world fcact, a contribution not exceeded by any man ip government ser■iLt ; -I • — 0 O —-— f Labor Day:-— Labor day might be a good time for alt Americans to pause and (Consider what labor has contributed to the growth of the country, what the workingman has received in return and what the place of labor will be in our future. American production is founded on marvelous machines. Our scientists have discovered new ways to use bur resources and have invented new materials from the research of their test-tubes. Our prosperity is the result of the genius of our scientists and fiManciers.'But without the muscle, the energy; the skill and the will 'ji- ' 'V' ' ' ' - Os the workingman the machines stop, the assembly lines would halt and dur prosperity would vanish. The worker in America enjoys \fhe highest standard of living in the world, His children are educated in good schools, he lives in a decent house and drives a late model automobile. More important than all this, he has achieved a dignity and a place of respect ajnong his fellow citizens. J- * • lAs passes and labor becomes more accustomed to its new position the friction ■between management and labor will probably gtow less. The welfare and the interest of each segment of our society is dependent upon the others.

After being purified, it is injected into the tissues of the person having the attack. Given by Injection Injections of the drug have been found to relieve the severe pain and also assist in healing the blisters. In some cases they may have to be given every six hours, but the usual schedule is An injection every two or three days. . J Intone test group of fifty patients with severe shingles, four out of five showed good results, wiile in three out of five cases the result? were excellent. s Thus, in the future, people may be spared much suffering from shingles, thanks to medical science and research. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 'E. C.: Can you tell me what causes Jacksonian epilepsy and whether it can be cured? Answer: Jacksonian epilepsy is caused by increased pressure within the skull cavity, which may be due to head injuries or to tumors. The convulsions occurring in this disorder differ from those in true epilepsy in that only one part of the body is Involved. Under the direction of a surgeon, X-rays should be taken of the skull to determine whether or not any condition is present Which is causing increased pressure. Sometimes, an operation to relieve the pressure brings about marked improvement.

CHAPTER .SEVENTEEN WHEN Nance came out to the balcony, she announced to Kit that she was to have dinner with Rolph Hilliard. “Why didn’t you ask him here, Nance ?” “You wouldn’t really enjoy it, Kit. We’U talk shop. Illustrations and publication deadlines and so forth. It will be good for me. I shan’t have time to wonder if Eve and Jeremy are driving put to the lake for a swim.” But midway through dinner, on a balconied rooftop with the cily lights just beginning to spike the twilight, Nance found her thoughts wandering. “You’re not listening to me,” Rolph complained mildly. He was tall and thin and in his middle thirties, although he looked older because he drove his almost .inexhaustible energy to the limit. Nance made an effort at concentration. “Forgive me, Rolph. I was woolgathering. What were you saying?”. “Just that you’ll have to stow your pencils and paper in among the silks and laces of your trousseau, my dear. What is the exact date of the wedding, by the way?” “The twenty-third—a nd I am not going to spend my honeymoon doing drawings for you, Rolph. I’ll have the illustrations finished by the end of the week.” - “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. Several new chapters have been added to the manuscript.” v “Oh, no!” “So either you take your ink pots on your honeymoon, or you postpone the wedding,” ; ; « “I won’t," she said indignantly. “I simply will not—” She stopped. If she telephoned Jeremy With Rolph's ridiculous proposal of postponement, he’d be/outraged. He’d drive to Kit’s apd, take her home with him. He’d say« Rolph and his ' contract could go to blazes. Wouldn’t he? The small doubt grew as she stared at her plate. Suppose Jeremy agreed.to putting it off? Suppose he said amiably, “It’s all right with. me. Nance.” Then she

would know. She would know for sure that the of uncertainty were in Jeremy. It would be a test. i She lifted her eyes and met Rolph’s steady gaze. Tonight, she would telephone Jeremy. At eleven, before she went to bed, Nance put through the call Jeremy’s voice came into the room with her, so close! She said stchdily, “Jeremy, something has come up. Rolph wants some extra drawings. It will take a month. It will mean postponing our wedding, if I stay here and do them. But I. .do have a contract . . .” She waited. Why wasn’t the wire sputtering with his objections ? It wasn’t. It was ominously quiet save for the small hum of the mechanism. "Jeremy?” * “Yes,.Nance. I —l suppose we could put it off. I know how important this contract is to you.” Well, it was. It was the biggest so far. But not so important as all that. She said, “You tell Mother, will you, Jeremy? I’m afraid she’ll be upset.” “Yes, Nance." “And you’ll do all the necessary things? Change the invitation dates, and so fprth?” “Os course.” \ i "And—Jeremy?” ' . “H’mmm?” / But unless he said\it first, she couldn’t say, I love you. Not now. She said, “I’ll stay on in New York. Rolph has arranged for me to have a corner in the art editor’s office.” Ask me to tome home, she begged silently. Only he didn’t ask her. * After a moment, he said, “AU right, Nance.” His voice sounded far off. Strained. But it could be a poor connection, the distortion of distance; She said, “Then, good night, Jeremy.” “Nance—. "Yes?” “Are you quite sure you want to put it off?” A guilt reflex, she thought, He was making hers the final word.

Governor Scliricker Marks 69th Birthday f INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Gov. Schricker observed his 69th birthday today by slapping a trowelful qf mortar dn a brick. \ Schricker, waiting to start his Campaign for a term in the Senate qhich would keep’him in Washinglion through year, planned to spend mdst of the day at the Centennial Indiana state fair.

“I’m sure, Jeremy,” she said, and had the dismaying sense of granting him a reprieve. She replaced the receiver. Fur fluttered against her ankles and she stooped blindly and lifted Tabitha. She held the cat beneath her chin, comforted a little by the padded paw raised to pat her cljeek, and the soft roU of purring. At first, Jeremy called every evening. Once Nance waited until almost midnight, and then he called to say he’d had two emergency operations. Then he missed an evening. Nance tried to fill in time by. mapping out the next day’s work, trying to blot out pictures of Eve and Jeremy together. It could be another emergency . . . At m i dnlght, worn out, she went to bed. He would call tomorrow, she consoled herself. He did, and offered no explanation for the previous evening. Then came two days of silence. Nance was on edge. Kit said reasonably, “He’s probably taking out tonsils by the score.” He could find time to say hello, Nance thought. Just so I wouldn't feel altogether abandoned. The third day, Rolph suggested d i n n e r and a dance, and she snapped, “No, Rolph.” Then she reddened at her ‘‘l’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bite off your head.” > I \ * "Touchy, aren’t you?” She nodded. He cautioned, “Don’t let it show in your work.” \ “Does it?” she asked with a prick of alarm. “A little. You’re tense. It always shows in creative work like yqurs.” He tapped a cigaret on the back of his hand. “You did better work at Thurstonia. Why don’t you g 4 home?” “No . . . I*ll get a hold on myself, Rolph.” “You could change your mind about tonight, for a start.” She hesitated. Jeremy might call while she was but. But if h< didn’t call, again . . . “AU right,” she said. (To Be Continued} ' I

Top Red Delegate Registers Protest Death Os Prisoner Protested By Reds PANMUNJOM, Korea, UP — Gen. Nam 11, chief "Communist truce delegate, today protested to the United Nations the death of one Communist prisoner and the woftnding of 26 others in Allied POW camps. The North Korean general registered the protest ini a no te handed to U- N. liaison officers at a brief sub-delegate truce meeting. Nam II demanded that the U.N. “render a responsible accounting” tor all “incidents of maltreating and butchering war prisoners.” The note, addressed to chief Allied delegate Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison, followed the same pattern adopted by the Red* in using recesses in top level armistice meetings for propaganda purposes. “According to news reporting of your side, within the four days from Aug. 24 to Aug. 27, your side again killed one and wounded and injured 26 of our captured personnel,” Nam II said. The Red general’s characteristic blast said the U. N. “disregards the security of bur captured personnel . . . and takes the barbarous method of willful shooting to forbid them to sing." »■ 4— ; I Modern Etiquette ' < BY ROBERTA LEE 9 i A Q.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN NANCE frankly dawdled over dressirtg for her date with Rolph, hoping for a call from Jeremy, before sne left. But it was hardly likely at this hour. He’d be making his house calls. The minutes jerked by on the tiny electric clock on the dressing table, and when Rolph came for her there was stiU no word from Jeremy. She put bn an extra touch of bright lipstick, decided on the silver star clips for her hair, after all, and went out to Rolph, who was admiring Tabitha with Kit in the living room. It was, Nance admitted, an Interesting evening. Rolph danced well, talked amusingly, and seemed on hand-waving terms with a number of people. Halfway through the evening, he beckoned a party over to their table. The Carlsons, who were in radio. The Carter Granahams, who collaborated on the book-length novels which Were appearing regularly in* the popular magazines. Gordon KUloran, a lawyer, and his pretty wife, Mavis. And Steve Raymond, a grave, lean man who seemed, Nance thought, a little bored With Libby Oliver, the pretty blonde girl who clung to his arm. Nance found herself watching Steve Raymond, hazarding reasons for the chip he was so belligerently wearing, and a little sorry for the girl he was treating so offhandedly. She mentioned it to Rolph, on the way home. 1 ? ! i, “Steve Raymond? Steve had a rather rough experience, recently. Married and divorced within the year. He was well out of. it, I thought. Most of his friends feel the same. Although his wife was one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.” "Where does Libby fit in?” “Old friend, from cradle daysLibby consistently works on a change of status, though. But

Steve is sour on women, since Eve." Nance felt the smile on her mouth stiffen. “Eve?” Casually Rolph said, yes. “At a party one night, Steve walked in and said, ’Meet my wife.* It was the first time any of us had met Eve, and we were mighty impressed. Eve did that to you. Took your breath. We all slapped Steve on the back and said, ’Lucky guy,’ enviously. A year later they were divorced. Eve’s Settlement ran into six figures. "He can afford it. He Inherited a fortune in oil from his maternal grandmother. No one has seen Eve since the divorce. I don’t think even Steve knows where she is. Or cares particularly. He’s over loving her. If he ever did, which I doubt.” •Then why did he marry her ?” Rolph grinned. “One look at her, you’d ; know.” Nance said, “Eve what ? Or IS it Raymond ?” “No, Steve made it a condition that she drop his name. I don’t know what she called herself before the marriage, or after. She just dropped out of his life, and ours. Ah, here we are." The cab stopped 1 in front of the apartment. Nance thanked him for an enjoyable evening, and went in. Kit was in bed. There was a note by the telephone. Jeremy had called. \ . - i Nance crumpled the message. She could Call him back. No, it was after one. Jeremy would think it an emergency. Well, in away it was, Nance thought wryly. Undressing, she mulled over the things Rolph had said tonight. Steve Raymond’s ex-wife and Eve Romley were not likely the same. Eve, and beautiful. That tallied, but Eve was an ordinary enough name, and it seemed unlikely that Stevie Raymond’s wife would have picked Thurstonia, after New York « • . Yet why not? She simply . L--, „ . --

Indiana Stale Fair Draws Big Crowds Harness Racing In ' Spotlight At Fair INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Clouds hung over the Indiana state fair grounds today to threaten another record attendance at the 100th anniversary fair. \ Harness ragtag takes over as the sports attract!™ today after two day of all-time marks at the turnstiles. . ftomess racing, featuring a fpqrevent program, continues Monday through Friday with grand circuit races. Purses for the six-day meet total more than $200,000. Fair officiate reported that 36553 persons to get into the fair Friday, a record for secondday attendance. The previous record was 35,291 in 1950. It brought the two-day attendance total to 59,791. • Officiate said they believed the record-breaking attendance will hold up through the Labor Day holiday weekend. , One of the highlights of Friday’s activity was a 4-H club tractor operating contest. Wilfred -Fox, 18, Kokomo, took first place in the senior division, and Terry Moses,14, Frankfort, took winner’s honors in the junior division. Livestock activity this morning included a parade of 4-H champions in the coliseum, a sheep-shear-ing contest, a junior livestock judging contest and fat barrow judging. The ciub state dress reVue and style shows drew many to the women’s building. An auto thrill show and a variety program were A scheduled for evening performances.

i dropped out of our lives. None of t us knows where she is. Why not •i Thurstonia? And if the two Eves were identical, what then? t Nothing, really. Rolph had obi scurely hinted at personal dislike, i but men often did not like their ■ friends’ wives. And supposing the two Eves : were the same? Eve hadn’t men- > tioned a previous marriage, but ’ that didn’t necessarily imply inten- > tional concealment. You just didn’t i say, "How do you do,” and “I’m divorced!” in the same breath. If I Eve chose not to talk at her dil vorce, it was her own affair, wasn’t > it? Nance abandoned conjecture, pulled back the sheets, got into ■ bed. ’ t, Jeremy called the following eve- : ning, “I’m sorry 1 missed yesterday’s call,” Nance said. “It’s all right” u •! - *1 had dinner with Rolph.” ••Oh?” But he wasn’t interested- Not in , that, nor in any of the pathways She opened almost desperately for easy, casual talk. They, did the weather thoroughly, exchanged states of health, and came to mumbling monosyllables at ea c h other until they, too, petered out. Nance at length replaced the receiver almost with relief. Kit, across the room, murmured, “Everything all right?” “I’m not jilted,” Nance said, "yet.” Jeremy hadnlt mentioned Eve. Nance wished he had. His avoidance of her name became all at once enormously\ significant. But perhaps jealousy hacked common sense, into fantastic shapes, and blurred clarity of thinking, she reassured herself. Yet when, a week later, Nance discovered that Eve Romley was the girl who had been Steve Raymond’s* wife, all her misgivings came swarming back. \ \ (To Be Continued) i
