TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1965. —

In the broader perspective of changing Africa the Queen’s tour can also prove significant. Country after country has risen from the ruins of British colonialism and it is desirable that their relations with the United Kingdom .be cultivated.

The royal tour will include visits to the Commonwealth war cemetery at Addis Ababa and to the Africa Hall, birthplace of the OAU and the

The President's Cold.

When U.S. President Johnson was taken to hospital by ambulance in the middle of the night there was an understandable tremor of apprehen- sion throughout the country. As it turned out, he had nothing but a, discomforting cold and a minor fev-

fore again the need to make. prpvis-

} fon for a presidential disability and

succession. . 2 The President has not yet made a verbal agreement with Vice-Presi- dent Humphrey as to what would be done if Mr. Johnson were unable to perform his duties. Such agreement existed between former President Eisenhower and former Vice-Presi- dent Nixon, between the late Presi- dent Kennedy and Vice-President J jg and even between Mr. John- son and Speaker McCormack, who was next in line of succession for 14

| months. But this is not enough.

American papers are now urging

the need for legal and formal pro-

vision to handle presidential disabil-

ity. -It-is suggested that ‘Congress

should act quickly and fill this gap.

Simultaneously it should provide for

selection of a new vice-president

should the vice-president die, become

disabled or succeed to the presidency. — This seems a reasonable precaution,

in view of what is at stake. The

But now Washington has cut down grain deliveries to the U.A.R. and an appeal from Nasser to the Soviet Union to replace them has met with a firm Russian “no”. Russia hasn’t any grain to spare.

So Egypt has gone on food rationing, just as a bill for $400,000 has arrived from Washington de- manding recompense for the gov- ernment-inspired burning of the Kennedy Library at Cairo.

Blistery Eruptions

By Dr. Theodore“R. Van Dellen Pemphigus is a serious~ skin that is difficult to under-

stand and treat. Some forms are | fatal. For no apparent reason,

blisters form in crops on per- fectly normal skin. They rup- ture and crusts cover the sur- face shortly thereafter. “The open lesions are extremely pain- ful.

The blisters (bullae) vary in |

size from that of a pea to an egg and appear on any part of the body. The face, neck, mouth and genitals are favorite sites, and occasionally the lesions are generalized. In the early stages of the disorder, the victim is up and about but becomes more

disabled as the eruption spreads. |

Fever and weakness occur and the open lesions in the mouth make eating and drinking un- pleasant.

Bullae arise in crops and oft- en remain months after ruptur- ing, during which time they show fio tendency to heal. They disappear, finally and the indivi- dual has long periods of com- parative freedom from the out- break Recurrences are com- mon.

The cause is not known. In the normal individual, a sort of ce- ment holds together the upper and lower layers of skin. This does not work in pemphigus and

the upper layer is easily peeled |

away from the surface. Large

pieces of skin can be pulled off

by pinching with the thumb and index . finger.

The corticosteroids changed the outlook of this disease. They are used indefinitely by many victims. The signs of the disease may disappear for so long a per- iod. cure is considered. The an- tibioties are needed when the lesions become infected.

Sprays containing an anesthe-

aap namceng the ROE mie cent pro- |

help relieve the pain of open or raw lesions. Several gargles are available to relieve mouth distress. Baths are recommend-

ed to soften and remove the |

crusts so ointments can be ap-

plied. Hexachlorophene frequent- ly is added to the water. In a
