Al leraic Reactions to Drugs —

By HERMAN N. BONOtSIN, M.O. ALLERGIC reactions to some of the newer drugs at times cause more discomfort than the original illness. With the widespread use of so much that is new in medication, we are finding more and more people who are allergic to these, things. Usually an interval of at least five days must elapse between the first exposure to the drug and the allergic reaction, the first time the patient takes the drug. If an allergic reaction ... occurs before five days, the person has been sensitive to that drug or to a similar one in the past. . . / ... Drugs Retained in Tissues Sometimes in certain cases ■mall quantities »f a drug remaln in the body tissues for a long time after the drug has been stopped, causing recurrences of allergic symptoms over many , months.. An important factor in avold- > Ing drug allergy is the avoidance of needlessly taking them. This is especially true of the antibiotic drugs. They should not be used (or trivial disturbances and

Uncle Sam, like other people, gets blamed for many Chings for which he is not altogether responsible. One of these is the heavy tax burden. While the federal government has done its part toward keeping this well up to the limit, the states have also added their bit. Figures released by the department of commerce show that last year spending by the states Increased by the tidy sum of *17,000,090,000. A figure like that cuts quite a noticeable ho|e in the taxpayer's pocketbook. —ok—ok— The brasen move to oust Sen. Dennis Chavez of New Mexico from the senate, died with a dud. Fellow senators by a vote of 53 to 36 seated him, five Republicans and Sen. Wayne Morse, the Oregon independent, joining 47 Democrats in deciding the issue. Chavez has been a member of the senate since 1935 and in the 1952 election rolled up a margin of more than 5,090 over bls Republican opponent, Patrick 3. Hurely. former secretary of war. Largely the contest of the senator’s seat hinged on the political attempt to break the Democratic edge of one in the senate. 0 o Van Wert is staging an elaborate Home and Furnishings show in the armory building, which is attracting quite a bit of attention. Mindful of the better homes theme, a citizen addressed a letter to the editor of the Van Wert paper, suggesting that old sheds, formerly used for storing coal and chicken houses at the back L'end of residence lots be removed. The writer urged the town to clean up. Every town has a number of these unused and unsighly buildings along the fringe of alleys. Let’s get rid of the shacks this spring. 0 © ' Many of the U. S. senators want to dictate foreign policy, but a survey shows that these statesmen are trying to duck the forthcoming Geneva conference. Some of the senators already have put the hex on the conference and do not want to be associated with its failure. Instead, they want Secretary Dulles, who has been making -a courageous fight to bring harmony between world fictions to be the only American representative at the historic meeting. Mr. Dulles is sincere in his effort to work for an agreement with Russia on European problems and should be supported "by the senators #ho play a hand in forming foreign policy. There is too much tendency among the leaders in congress to sit back and criticize, failing even to offer a constructive suggestion.

should be used only under the direction of a physician. Rashes in Allergy Drug allergy can cause severe rashes including hives. A person can become very seriously ill due to an allergic reaction. At one time, patients with severe allergic reactions had to be treated in the hospital. However, since ACTH has been made In a gelatin like form, treatments can be given by a single Injection on a daily basis with good results. Thus, the treatment no longer must be carried out in the hospital in all cases. The allergy will usually clear up by the fifth or Sixth day of treatment in the home. The side reactions from the use of ACTH tot this short period of time are not of any consequence according to the majority of physicians. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. D. F.: Will penicillin help the common cold? Answer: No, in most instances, a cold which is caused, by a virus will not be helped by penicillin. However, a physician is usually the best judge as to whether or not penicillin should be used.

Repulse Reds Hanoi, Indochina UP — French planes and infantry severely punished the Communist forces attacking the besieged French fortress of Dien Bien Phu, the French high command revealed today. Infantrymen repulsed a Red drive aimed at cutting Dien Bien Phu’s vital road to its southern outpost and drove the Communists back into their trenches. Then French transport planes dumped 12.500 gallons of flaming napalm into those trenches to trap ■and burn to death the disorganized enemy. The twin actions were carried out Wednesday, today’s French annouftcement said. French sources said Red casualties in the 13-day battle have climbed to 15,000 dead and wounded. “Appreciable losses” were said to have been inflicted in smashing back the Communist attack on the four-mile road leading to Dien Bien Phu’s southern outpost. And the flrfe-bomb attack also was believed to have been highly effective. The napalm attack was the second “obliteration” raid this week.
