METHOD FOR STREN!i'l'llEN- ING FRAGILE FINGEBNAILS

one of the interesting occur- rences in medicine is to see the report in a reputable medical jour- nal of the great success bf a drug in the treatment of a certain dis- ease. A few weeks or months after- wards. we see the report of other investigators in which they state they tried this drug in a certain number oi! cases with poor re- sults. From time to time after- wards reports favorable to the drug and reports unfavorable ap- pear in medical journals of good standing. Finally the pendulum of the effect of the drug reaches a certain point and stays there.

some years ago, the beneficial effects of gelatin were reported. later to be contradicted. and later to reach a point half way between the most favorable and most un- favorable. That gelatin is effective in preventing fragile or tender fingernails is reported by Dr. T. L. Tyson. in the Journal of Investi- gative Dermatology (skin dis- eases). Dr. Tysoir cites a patient with chronic low grade rheumatic fever who was given gelatin by mouth to relieve her muscular weakness. She had trouble for years with easily broken linger- nalls. After three months of treat- ment with lzolatln. her nails be- came practically normal. After ob- serving this case. Dr. Tyson stud- ied 12 patients with soft, peeling. easily broken fingernails persist- ing one to rlftecn years. There was no sign of any denciency in the diet of these cases. Six had taken thyroid treatment. and most of them had received local treatment without improvement. They all showed some thickening. of the nail with loss of surface lustre and smration at the free end into laminas-thin layers which tended to peel off. leaving a frail. irregular. jazzed edge. ,The pat- ients were given 7 Gm (about two teaspoonfuls) of a commercial lelly dissolved in water or fruit juice once it day. In to of these 12 pat- ients the nails assumed it com- 'p'elely normal appearance after three months of treatment. some patients reported improvement in growth of hair and eyebrows.

This is cnrtainly a harmless and inexpensive. method of strengthen- ing fragile dngernalls which are really a. physical and mental hazard in the lives of many women and men also.

The cofflned body of St. Bo- tolph was taken from the grave and canted through the streets of Bury, migland, during dry seasons to bring down rain.

Two days after it was installed a gangster poked his gun through the box office window and de- manded the cash.

The girl pressed her foot on the pedal. stalled a hit, then began to halxl over the money.

At this point the phone bell rang. The gangster grabbed the receiver.

"What is it?" he asked.

"This is the police station, darn you" said an angry voice, "Say, do you know you've got your foot on the pedal and we can't hear our- selves talk because of that bloom- ing bell."
