There is new hope for person! suffering from certain WP" 0' . neuritis.

Tests conducted by Dl'- Rlcllllrd T. Smith of Pennsylvania Hostil- tal indicate that administration of Protamlde may speed recovery by as much as four weeks. Prota- mtde is a solution of processed and denatured proteolytic enzyme obtained from the glandular layer of fresh hog stomach.

Medlcal Mystery

Just why this solution should re- lieve pain of neuritis victims. we do not know. But the tests of Dr. Smith indicate that it does.

There are many g causes and many types of neuritis. For in- stance, it may develop as an after- math of other virus infections. such as a severe upper respiratory infection. g

But. in all types. pain is the chief symptom. g

Neuritis is an inflammation of the nerves. When it is present in the spinal root, we call it radicu- litis.

Dr. Smith included 104 patients In his study. They had various types of neuritis. but all were cases where there was inflamma- tory involvement of the nerve root. Also. all patients had previous virus infection or upper respira- tory infection within three weeks before their neuritis began.

Note On Education IMnntreal Start

A world which has endiired two gigantic wars inside three (lccadcs and which, at the same time. is in the grip of a continuing technologi- cal revolution. obviously needs something. The a n s w e r that it needs more and better education may not be a complete one. but it is at least part of it. We need something that will make people cool off, something that will give them a better and longer perspec- tive. something that will make them stop briefly and think.

This will not be done of course by Increasing emphasis on the technical and scientific aspects of education. These deal all with means to ends. rather than with the study of the ends themselves. the study of the ultimate objectives I civilization should pursue. The sclen' -, the technicians and the engineers can build us bigger and better bombs. bigger and better houses. larger and larger factories. more and more motor care. Our highly trained physicians have learned and are learning how to mitigate suffering and prolong life. But to what end?

We find ourselves wishing that more of the speakers during Edu- cation Week would deal with this point. Why have we let the slide rule supplant the Bible. - if by the Bible we mean the broad study of human values and human ends? Why are the humanities and the social sciences neglected and tire and applied science elevn to high pace. when It In only from the lmnllnlsts and the historians that we can discover. even If dim-

Eighty-four of the 104. he said. made complete recoveries within five or ten days. The average course of untreated neuritis is from three to six weeks.

One of the simplest ways of expressing what Christianity did for the ancient world is to say that it brought to -It a great and indomitable hope. The organizing genius of Augustus sought to re- vltaIise' the Roman world. but failed to do so because. while It could restore the ancient festi- vals. It could not revive the old faith. It was reserved for obscure missionaries from Palestine to touch men's hearts with their mes- sage of the cross and resurrec- tion. and to teach them to look forward eagerly into the future.

The hope of these early Christ- ian thinkers was not. as hope so often is in the modern world, a piece of wishful thinking in which they took refuge from unpleasant facts. It had its root: in the past and the present; in the Lord who had so lived and died that they were conscious that in him God himself had visited his world. Hence they looked forward into the future for a still greater manl- festatlon of him they were sure would come. They waited in ex- pectation of something no less wonderful than the entry of all creation into "the glorious lib- erty of the children of God."
