—Dietz on Science— LIST DISEASES AFFLICTING MAN AT ASSEMBLY Natural Defenses Arrest Development of Ills in Human Body. BY DAVID DIETZ. Srrlpps-Howard Rclfnre Editor This is being written as the International Medical assembly enters the third day of its session in the Public Music hall of Cleveland and the wonder in my mind is how the human race manages to hang on to the earth at all. For two days and nights, eminent medical men from America and Europe have recited a catalog of the things that can go wrong with the human machinery. “Pneumonia is the captain of the men of death.” Dr. Harlow Brooks of New York reported. “Hardening of the arteries is the biggest unsolved problem in medicine today,’’ Dr. R.oy W. Scott of Cleveland, said. "It leads the list of the causes of death and its toll is getting greater every year.” “One woman out of every eight who reaches the age of 35 develops cancer,” Dr. P. Brooke Bland of Philadelphia said. Appendicitis on Increase “Appendicitis is on the increase,” Dr. George P. Muller of Philadelphia announced. "No one yet knows the cause of the disease. Because it kills young people, it is more important than cancer, which mostly kills old people.” Lung specialists told the things that go wrong with the lungs. Heart specialists catalogued the diseases of the heart. Kidney specialists detailed how kidneys go bad. Skin specialists told about skin diseases, neurologists about nerve diseases, and so it went through session after session. And yet, although disease and disaster surround the human being on every side, there is no particular reason for him to worry. For the fact of the matter is that good health is largely automatic. Baby Is Protected Nature has supplied the human mechanism with marvelous automatic protective devices. Some of them have only been discovered recently. Some are suspected but not yet located. But they have been working since the beginning of the race. If it were not for these protective devices, every pin scratch would cause a person to bleed to death, every sprain would be a permanent disability, every pimple would lead to blood poisoning, every cold would be fatal. But nature automatically takes care of these things. The blood coagulates and bleeding stops. Muscles and tendons heal. The white blood cells fight infections in the blood stream and conquer them. Advises Moderation In general, man must remember only to be moderate. A wide variety of food, neither too much nor too little in quantity, fresh air, reasonable amounts of sleep, freedom from

undue worry, enough work to keep him reasonably occupied, sensible play, and an engrossing hobby, are the chief needs of the average person who would stay healthy. How remarkable the defenses of the body can be at times was demonstrated by Dr. Beckwith Whitehouse, famous British surgoen attending the medical convention, who told of several cases where these defenses had conquered cancers, turning them from malignant growths into harmless tumors. One other thing for the layman to remember: have a family physician, one you know and trust. When you suspect anything wrong, consult him. The act that should be impressed upon every person, particularly every woman, is that cancer is curable in its early stages. Many people, suspecting cancer, are afraid to go to a physician. They don’t want to be told that they have cancer. No course of action could be worse. In the first place, the chances are even that they don’t have it. Hence, a great load of worry will be lifted from their minds if this is the case. In the second place, if it is cancer, the chances are that early treatment by surgery, X-ray, or radium will cure it. Among the distinguished foreign visitors at the convention is Dr. R.

M. Allan of Australia. Dr. Allan has attended a large number of medical meetings recently. He said that the thing that impressed him most was the large number of cancer cures that are being reported everywhere.

Sir Raleigh! Doorman Breaks Rules for First Lady. By United Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.—The only woman who could possibly force doorkeepers at the recent Philadelphia Symphony orchestra concert to let her slip in after Leopold Stokowski had raised his baton, did so this week. She was the First Lady of the Land. \ The ironclad rule was no admittance to late arrivals until intermission. Mrs. Roosevelt was three minutes late. She found the doors guarded. But a doorkeeper gallantly let her and her party of two feminine friends and Secretary Louis Howe in. Mr. Stokowski failed to notice the interruption and stir as the party cautiously tiptoed to a box. A clock which ticks every second would have to run for almost thirtytwo years in order to tick one billion times.
