— . : . . . Cobra Venom a Pain Reliever

‘ By HERMAN N. BfflttESEN, M.D. WHO would believe that the venom of one of the deadliest snakes, the cobra, could be used by doctors to relieve pain? Yet, when properly used, this poison may be more effective than narcotics derived from opium in reducing pain. Un.lke rattlesnake venom, which acts on the blood, cobra venom has its effect on the nervous system. This is why it is a valuable analgesic (pain reliever), but only in the hands of a physician who knows the reason for the pain. May Have to Waft Sometimes, even a physician may be unable to relieve pain until he has made a diagnosis of the disease and determined the cause of the pain. However, he will always try to relieve severe pain when he considers it safe i tO do 80. In certain chronic and prolonged diseases, it may be necessary to cheek the pain even before treating Its cause. This can occur in neurological disorders where there is severe pressure bn certain nerves. It may Also occur in certain types of cancer and migraine. c. , 1 Especially in so-called “incurs K able” diseases, effective pain re-* ' lief may give the doctor a better chance to try new and advanced treatments and drugs which may prove helpful in specific cases. ; ' e .

Financing Elections:— 'Federal laws against bribery and corruption in national elections are far from adequate. Sen. Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., of Missouri has a new bill tightening up the present restrictions. He is joined in this by another Democrat, Sgn. Hayden of Arizona, a'nd a Republican, Sen? Hendrickson Os New Jersey. < The .Hennings bill recognizes •that the present of campaign expenditure to $3,000,000 is utterly unrealistic. Because this sum cannot begin’ to cover the entirely legitimate 1 costs of elections, subterfuges and violations are encouraged. A new limit of $10,000,000 is set by the new bill. Candidates for the Senate may spend $50,000 instead of $25,000, while for the House the individual limit is raised from $5,000 to $12,000. The present law is evaded by organizing all sorts of special committees for a candidate. As these do ’not come under t&e law, many gjvers have freely admitted that, though limited to a $5,000 gift for one candidate, they gave $5,000 to each of a dozen committees supporting their man. in one state, says Henpings, two candidates for senator each reported spending $4,000. In addition $1,000,000 was spent in their behalf by special committees. The Hennipgs bill comes too late to get far in this session of Congress. But perhaps the next session may act on it. It should help to relieve a situation that has been permitted to exist for too longi 0 0Historic Feud:— Jf anybody can believe the Kremlin leaders they have just taken a historic step. They are moving to end one of the longest international rivalries known,: that between Russia and Turkey. For over 200 years the Russians have been pressing on Turkish territory, and the Turks have come to regard Russia as their never-ending and most dangerous enemy. In 1854 Britain joined with Tur- 1 key to beat back Russian aggression. in 1878 another Russo-Turk-ish war gave Russia territorial gains that alarmed the West. An international conference at Berlin, presided over by Count Otto von Bisniarck, deprived Russia of most of her conquests, and gave the Turks a breathing spell."

such as morphine, have long been used as pain relievers. However, there is always the problem that a patient may develop an addiction to these narcotic drugs. As the disease progresses, higher and higher doses have to be given, because the person becomes accustomed to the usual dosage. Cobra venom has certain advantages eover these drugs for pain that is severe and prolonged from chronic afflictions. < Effect Builds Up The first injections of the venom dp not have any relieving effect. But as injections are given over weeks of time, the effect builds up, so that, finally they only have to be given about every two or three days. If small doses Are taken daily until this point is reached, the otherwise deadly venpm is dot dangerous to man. Os course, such a highly toxic drug should be given only under the careful direction of a physician, and mayprove injurious if the treatment is not watched closely. QUESTION AND ANSWER W. M.: My child was stung repeatedly last summer by bees. , She had a severe reaction and almost died from these stings. Is ’ there any way she can be im- . munized against them? ; Answer: Recent tests have ‘ shown that an extract made from dead bees, and given in increasing dosages at various Intervals, will immunize a child against bes , stings. ■ r 'lt. ?■ ■ i

Turkey’s weakness was the great cause of her perils. Not till Mustapha Kemal, dictator after World War I, reformed the government, was Turkey able to resist aggression. ' Now Russia has made a new move. She has notified Turkey that she , has abandoned her claims oh the latter’s eastern provinces, and has dropped demands, made at the Yalta conference for military bases. If Russia can be trusted, the Turks will breathe easier. They cannot forget, however, that Russia has long wanted Constantinople. indicates that this ambition has been abandoned. 20 Years Aga Today —f It 1 . • June 27 rw July 13 is designated as Indiana day at the Chicago Wolds fair.

SYNOPSIS The eight guest-passengers aboard the y a c h t ''Spiritus” out of Nassau. Bahamas, ara gripped by terror wheh a shot is fired in the night and their host end owner of the craft, wealthy, eccentric Darius Opdyke is reported missing from the vessel. Sardonic old Jonas, the ship's captain, assembles his passengers .r. the salon, advising them that Opdyke had a premonition of meeting with foul play on the soy* age. and had consequently left his will in Jonas' keeping. The document de:rees that the "Spiritus" continue along her course toward South America for seven days, by the end of which period Mr. Opdyke had believed his killer would be revealed- ‘ Eagle-eyed Stewardess Macbeth is placed in charge.' of the women and she watches over them like a jailor. Tire strain of all this causes sensitive little Gay Walton, movie actress, to become hysterical and Dr. Reuben Randolph, a psychiatrist, comforts her. Elderly Lady Lisa Tremaine. and Larry Redding, a broker, and Frederick Brown, a lawyer, each admit having quarreled with their host prior to his disappearance. Virginia Tintagel, the only American girl aboard the yacht, had seen someone toss fcomethlng overboard, after the shot had been fired, but she very wisely keeps this information to herself. . f CHAPTER ELEVEN UP ON THE veranda deck, Brown, still in evening clothes, his dirk face purple, his hair on end, was panting in Larry's embrace, and Robert had put a Jujitsu twist on Dr. Randolph's arm. ’The doctor had lost the dressing gown in which he had been draped since the night before, exposing a wide expanse of hairless chest, and rather astonishing purple shorts. The start of a beautiful mouse was puffing up on his left eye. The Captain stood between the combatants, and he was plenty mad. “Speak up now,” he was saying, "or I’ll put ye both in irons. And don’t think I’d stop at doing it, either. ” » Foe a. minute both men were obstinately silent, but then Randolph spoke up. “As I was walking past the owner’s cabin, I heard a noise ahd decided to look into it.” Brown gave a snort, which made him more like a hippopotamus than ever. “The hell you did! In the first plade, I was hot makihg a noise, and in the second place, you opened the door like a thief, peered around the room, and did not come in until you thought it was empty. I had a good view of you, because I heard you coming and stepped Into the shower.” “I object to the woya thief,” Randolph said hotly. “I didiPt say you wer6 one. I said you moved like one.” Bfrown’s tone was anything but conciliatory* ! M The captain cut them short. •Tve had enough of this. You’d no business there, either one of you. Todd, tell the carpenter to bring up an Iron bar and some screw bojts. I’ll shut the place up right. Had ought to have done it sooner, seeing that Nosey Parkers are on board. Now, I’d like to hear what you was after—and don’t think t’U be surprised.” Brown had disengaged himself from Larry, who looked bewildered IJas usual and smoothed his crum-

Should one address one’s dentist as “Mr, Black,” or should it be ♦’Dr. Black?” A.

pled white linen jacket into some sort of order. “I was making necessary Investigations, dictated by my experience,” he announced to us. “Then I was making investigations t o o,” Randolph countered promptly. Robert had handed him his dressing gown, and the shorts were veiled. rBrown gave him a nasty look. “Which Is why you went directly to the safe and began to fiddle .with the knob?” “What sort of ring-around-the-rosy is this?” inquired the captain in disgust. “It’s as plain as the nose on my face that ye was both after the letter in the safe. That’s a hard box to crack, so it ain’t likely you got it Still, I’ll give you a going over to make sure.” He ran his hands expertly through Brown’s pockets, around his waistline, and down his trousers. The big lawyer flushed, but ottered |no objection. Then he turned out the pockets of the doctor’s dressing gown—with no result. He seemed satisfied. . “I guess that’s that You didn’t throw it out of the ports, for they give On the deck.” “It could be in the cabin,” Robert offered mildly. Jonas threw him a sharp look in which there Was no gratitude, but he led off to a search of the cabins and of the snower, hurrying it along as much as possible. Nothing was found, but by the time the hunting was finished, Brown had resumed, not without an effort, his air of manly frankness. < “I’m glad to have you see that I did not \obtain anything. I am quite willing to admit that I hoped to. Plainly We should all like to have that letter produced as soon as possible if it could help to clefir things up, could put a stop to this farce of cruising around and waiting. Os course I had meant to make it public if I found it. in my opinion, the captain should open the safe for us now.” Jonas cracked apart the fissure of his grin. “And void the will? I’m not that dumb, Mr. Brown, nor you’re not neither. If there's secrets about all of ye in that letter, they’ll come out on the seventh day, and hot before.” ;i. L i By this time Randolph also-had recovered his self-possession, and had had time to think out another stratagem. "As a psychiatrist, captain, I must warn you that you are takiftg a grave risk when you put us under such a strain. There are people on board who might crack, and some very regrettable things could happen.” “That don't worry me much,” the captain declared. . Robert spoke up with a gentle detachment which was almost apologetic (and look out for him when he is disarming), “Would you care to tell us, doctor, whom-you have in mind?” "That would be unprofessional,” Randolph answered sternly. “But I can assure you that the captain

The ship’s arrived with his equipment, and the captain went around himself to \ pull down the from the inside and bolt the portft When he had locked the door and dropped the key into his pocket, fee ordered the iron bar screwed ipto place across it. In a silence Which spoke ■ volumes, he waited to ifee the job finished. “You can bolt us out,” my Robert said, “but can you bolt a ghost in?” Jonas threw him a s?jarp look, but did not answer. When the doctor suggested that wei were all done in and needed we fob lowed him below without protest. After a shower and a hap, I put on a clean white cotton dress and rubber-soled sandals. 1 (fed a ver-onica-colored scarf, which Robert said matched my eyes, around my neck, and thought that fit least I looked healthy, which Was more than could be said for some of the other women. Then I went out to see what was going on. * J There was no one in the writing room, nor up on the promenade deck, in the salon, Or in tile chairs. The ship was so deserted that I might have been the only soul on board. The sense of privacy, and of freedom from the complexities of the cruise might Wave been pleasant if I had not been too hungry to enjoy it But I was, and so I started down to B ticck with some vague idea of raiding the galley. I have never been an engine that could run Without ftoel.

"So I was In the doctor’s cfibiit Is that all you have to tell the?” Aman answered-in .fin indistinguishable mumble, but I felt pretty sure that it was Todd. “Do you think I am fool enough to give yon a hundred "dollars?” Carlotta asked. » i, ■ , This tithe I heard Todd clearly., "You’d better, Mrs. Reddftig," Carlotta gave a horribU Ifittgh.
