.SKIN TURNS BLUE

Ten little American girls and five little boys have within the last year turned blue. They have dc- veloped argyria, a rare discolora- tion oi the skin resulting, in these 15 cues, from the use of solutions containing silver bought to cure colds.

Medical circles in the United States are alarmed at a sudden in- crease in this hitherto rare com- plaint. Seventy cases have been re- cently reported.

During the last five years the grand total of argyrla sufferers has been more than doubled.

the discoloration of the skin is per- mauent. At present no treatment for the condition is known.

The human body can retain only so much silver. It more than the equivalent of seven grams of silver fl-TsDhenamine are taken, argyrla de- velops.

Slsty-blue blothches first appear on the face, hands, and the half- moons of the finger-nails as the re- sult of the silver in the system be- ing chemically acted upon by light. ‘ In chronic cases the whole body is affected and goes a silver-black color .

Beyond the unpleasant discolora- tion of the skin the affected per- sons are apparently quite healthy and normal in every way.

In England cases of argyria. are exteremely rare. Beyond u few per- sons who have contracted it from some occupational cause, such as the handling of silver preparations over many years, it is almost un- heard of . .

Anauthority consulted in London said that in 30 years he had only come across two or three cases. In all but one case only the backs of the hands were affected.

The other cases. he said was out- ’ standing. An elderly woman had for 20 years. on the advice of a quack, been taking pills of silver nlrate to cure her indigestion.

She became so afflicted with

argyria that her face was the color of a photographic negative. Tile silver in her system had affected her hair, turning it almost into silver wires. Montreal doctors say there have been several cases of this in the city but although the skin remains dis- colored. there are no bad effects otherwise. l

THREE ENGLISH DANCES

English folk-dances are, broadly speaking. of. three kinds-Country dances, Morris dances and Sword dances, says Iolo A. Williams in English Folk Song and Dane, published in Longmanb “English Heritage" Series. .

A clear distinction is to be drawn beteewn the Country dances and the other two groups. Both Morris and Sword dances are things per- fonned upon stated occasions, by small teams of highly skilled male dancers, who wear special costumes. These dances are definitely per- formances, even ceremonies, de- manding an audience and having a suggestion of the drama. about them.

There is no surviving example of a Morris dance (in the restricted sense of the phrase) which is ac- companied by a. play, but eygyy Morris side (and every sword-dance 998m. too) has, besides the actual dancers and the ' ‘ certain other characters such, for example, "-3 9- 5001. or a man dressed up as B Women. who accompany it.

None of these things is true of the COImtYy dances, which are (or were) danced indiscriminately at any season, without special costume "m! "W101"? Bhy suggestions of drama or the need for an audience. Both men and women take part in, 0011mm’ dances. and regard then "likely 8s recreations.

CHECK UP ON YOURSELF

It is well worth while taking the troubl- to check dp on yourself now and again, more especially if things are not some quite as smoothly u they should. Ask yourself a few “straight from the shoulder" quest- ions and do try and be honest with your answers.

Are you making good in your work? If not, why not? For than must be o reason or cause which is holding you back.
