MANY PATIENTS WITH TUBER- CULOSIS MENINGITIS SURVIVI

In my student day we learned that meningitis (inflammation of the brain) was I most serious ill- ness but when, added to the men- ingitis, tuberculosis was also pre- sent. no patient recovered. And un- til very recently all such patients died. It is, therefore. very much worth while for parents to learn that this terrible disease, tubercu- lous meningitis, is now not necess- arily fatal.

In The Lancet, London, Drs. R. W. Fairbrother, G. Martyn, and L. Parker report the results of treat- ment by streptomycin in 82 cases of tuberculous meningitis observed between August, 19-11, and June. 1950. Thirty-six of these children survived and were followed up by physicial radiologic (x-ray), audio- metric (measuring their hearing ability) and mental examinations. Twenty-two of them had no physic- al or mental defects remaining from the disease and the streptomy- cin treatment. These children were of exceptional intelligence. Four had some physical defect but were mentally normal. Eight were re- tarded (backward children) wirh or without physical defects. Two are still under treatment and appar- ently have no mental defect. The survival rate in early cases was a- bout 74 per cent and in advanced cases, 14.8 per cent.

Of 27 survivors in the early or in- termediate stage, 25 retained nor- mal intelligence; 6 of 9 survivors who were in the advanced stage he- came mentally retarclayi All the retarded children were under 3 years when admitted to hospital.

An interesting finding was that the survival rate showed no sign- ificant difference between patients with and without tuberculosis Of this group, meningtis developed in 10 while they were undergoing treatment for miliary (general) tuberculosis and 7 survived.

When we compare the above picture with that of but a few yearr. ago, szrepfonizimtri rightly deserves being called a wonder drug, capable of battling success- fully with the diseases meningitis and tuberculosis.

A child born on this day might have a life of experiences outside the realm of the commonplace or sordid. Wise direction of excep- tiunal talents could assist to

-Tennyson.

Every day there are new leaves and flowers in our garden. and walking through the wood today I found many shrubs and plants in leaf.

"Spring comes to flower in secret. or at night.

In vain to pry or eavesdrop, none has yet the surprised the break of life,

Watched the rumpling out of the packed leaf,

The stabbing tip of the shoot;

The little momentous things that

earth achleves--

While no one is about."

One of the earliest shrubs to show lovely green leaves is the Tatarian Honeysuckle, and this is one of the most desirable shrubs for our climate. The Maritime Gardener recommended this in a recent broadcast. it is a rapid growing bush and is very hardy producing myriad: of rose-colored flowers, followed in early fall by scarlet fruits. It. is suitable as a lawn specimen or massed in the large shrub border. They have made a good showing in this gar- den for years and when some of them became too tall and woody after many years of beauty, they were cut. back and are now making a lovely showing.

It has been a busy week in the garden, lawns have been mown, and more roses planted. These were the Polyanlho types, and they seem to be more hardy and are certainly more colorful than any of the other varieties. almost never being out of bloom.

These Flowers Bloom Quickly

. X .i Modern Dwarf Iturlgolds

There is quite a list of flowers which can be sown in June. and will blossom in 30 to 40 days They all germinate quickly, in five to ten days after sowing, and grow fast in the summer weather.

Here are some of them:

sweet Alyasum, Amaranthus. Antirrhinum, (Snapdragon). Aster Calenduia, caliiopsis, Candytuft. Celosia Centaurea, cheiranthus Cosmos, Dianthus, California Pop- Dy. Godetia, Linarla. Loliella, Lu- plns, liiarigoids, Nicotiana. (flow- ering tobacco), Annual Phlox, Por- tulaca, Mignonetie, schizanthus. Viola Zinnia, Nasturtium:

To speed up flowering. sow the seed where the plants are to re- main. Mark the location of each plant, and saw three or four seeds by this method: Scoop out a shal- low depr ion, and dig a teaspoon- ful of pie t food into the soil at the bottom. Throw in loose soil and sow the seeds. then cover them lightly with fine soil, or a special- ly prepared mixture of soil and sand if your garden soil is heavy.

it the soil surface dries out to a depth of two inches and remains dry more than a day or izwo, the sowing may fall, so it is necessary

to sprlniole the ground daily with a fine pray. being careful not to wash the seeds out of the ground. Keep this up until the seedling plants have developed roots long enough to reach soil moisture.

When the seedlings appear, thin out to a single plant. and trans- plant the discards elsewhere. The plants which grow undisturbed will flower first. Be sure to give flowers plenty of room; they suf- fer from overcrowding, producing smaller and fewer flowers.

it would be interesting to see what sort of garden could be made of just a few flower families. seeking interest by using different colors and types.

Take zinnias for example-they could hardly be omitted from a garden of annuals. There are the

small-flowered singles, the small liiliput doubles. the intermediate or "pumila" type and the giant

flowered varieties. They give an abundance of pink, red, orange and yellow varietim with a few la- venders. A whole border might be planted mostly to zinnias, provid- ed one used enough ageratum, cen- taurea and cynogiossum to pro- vlde blue tones.

And another season was here. Down the river where rest the first beams of day, surrounded by their guard of spruces, the planta- tlon of poplars were donning their misty green lace; out beyond the hill Pat's xnaplu were weal-ins their spring-red. The alders by pond-side were "shaking out their powdery curls" and on the lawn the wild pear was changing to green and white. it was quite time for us to come to some gardening. "We don't see a thing these days" granddaughter laughed. watching the wavering flight of a robin to the nest in the old white birch on the lawn "but birds fly- ing with feathers in their beaks . . . and bits of straw and string. How do they know when they have to fix up their nests?" We laugh- ed. "By the signs about" we offer-

On our bit of lawn, we added a rose, a "hardy yellow" to our riches.

And the cement for the barn- foundation did come today. In the afternoon when a saucy wind of the north was teasing the pond into wavelets and the sun smiling. set diamond gllnis in every fold and the farmers had taken them- selves off to a far field to spread manure on "that there pasture' And the women looked at each other bewildered and voiced the same question: "Now where should we put it?"

However other "skills and know- ledge" we lack. Floury from cap to toe, James comes in at his day's close to speak of something now. "What beats me. Ellen" sadly, "is the lack of interest some women show in farming." He shakes his head "Wouldn't any one have known that load of cement should thave been put in the empty grain- house 'around behind' . . . a-and NOT on the barn-floori"

Use a weak solution of am- monia and water on gilded frames. Go over the gilt gently with a moist cloth; after a few minutes, when the dirt has softened, repeat the operation. Do not rub hard- dry by dabbing with a soft cloth. An oiled duster should never be used on gilt or bronze frames.
