A011! AND CORTISONE IN TIIATMINT OF ULGEBATIVE COLITIS

I vrrito from time to time about the feet that a new drug or form of eetmuit directed to one speci- ile use or group of symptoms is oil-en. later. found to be of equal or even greater help in the treatment of one or more other diseases. Thus when Dre. Banting and Best dis- covered insulin, the secretion or juice of the pancreatic gland which prevents death from diabetes, its use for other purposes was not ex- pected, yet there are already sev- eral uses for insulin, including a successful method of producing shock in curing or helping mental diseases and increasing appetite in undernourished individuals.

Now we have the miracle drug. AC'Ill-l. found to be the special or specific drug fox rheumatism and arthritis, which lso has been used with success in several diseases or groups of symptoms. For years, what is known as the severe form of colitis, ulcerative colitis (inflam- mation of the colon-large intes- tine) has resisted practically all forms of medical aid and diet treatment and has finally required surgery-the removal of a portion of the colon most seriously affected. In ulcerative colitis, there is form- ation of blood and pus instead of just mucus, as in simple colotis (diarrhoea)

In the Journal of the American Medical Association. a group of Eoston physicians. Drs. Seymour J. Gray. Robert W. Reifenstein. John A. Benson Jr. and JD. Gordon Young, report their experiences over a period of two years with the use of corticotropln (ACTH) and Cor- tisone in a selected group of pat- ients with ulcerative colitis. Studies were directed to determine the ef- fectiveness of this "hormone" or gland substance in holding the dis-

ease in check. This treatment was used because of its effectiveness in reducing the extensive inflamma- tion of ulcerative colitis and in les- ienlng the amount of infection and aolsoning of the system by pus

formation. "The dramatic increase in ap- oetlte and sense of well-being

vhich often characterize the ad- ninlstration of ACTH and Corti- ione might be expected to be of in- zalculable value in the treatment )I these debilitated, poorly nour- shed patients with loss of ap- petite.”

As any new method of treat- ment. especially one publicized as was ACTH. might have a morale-

What is in a letter? Any num- ber of things . . . And some are like a magic carpet which can pick one up from her dish-wash-l ing and cleaning and hear her away to fascinating shores. ”We're having our holidays now-at the shore" this one came this morning.

"We love it here, perhaps I es- pecially. I like its quiet, the sound of the sea, drowsy-like on a warm afternoon; and the little waves lapping on the sands in the even- ing. bringing in with them a cool- ing breeze. Did you ever-but nat- urally you have-watched the sun go down behind the water and ad- mired the flame-path it throws . . so beautiful, isn't it?

"The other evening we sat. on the shore-bank to watch the moon rise over the fields across a wide cove. It was somewhat misty and dim' before the clouds-white. fleecy ones-moved away from the face of the moon. Then, the effect was breath-taking . w . nothing short, of magical. it was as though we, had moved from the city to some Eden-like loveliness, charming and! peaceful and without any of the cares that are the legacy of mor- tals. Here was beauty and peace and the serenity of a wide sil- ence-just the light lap of the homing waves.

lifting effect. these physicians made due allowance for this in their in- veetigation and report. These re- search investigators state that the administration of ACTH or Corti- sone to patients with extensive and intractable ulcerstive colitis was accompanied by a significant and sometimes dramatic stopping of the symptoms in seven or eight pat- lents who were completely incap- acitated by the disease and were not helped by other forms of treat- nent.

Further. the report statim this remission or disappearance of symptoms by use of ACTH may prove of value in preparation of patients for surgery. "ACTH treat- ment may not be a cure for ulcer- stive colitis, but is a valuable ad- junct inthe treatment of this dis- ease."

Playing With Fire

Divorces Courls Trouble In This Office Romance

D353 M155 DIX: When my husbsndleft me. almost four years ago, I was 21 and thought I could never love again. I was 16 when we were married; he was 18. After four years. durinz which he served in the army, he went to work in another city. from which he wrote asking for a divorce. For four years I refused him. supporting myself and two children in the meantime. I prayed he would realize his mistake and come back, but finally. last month, I signed the last paper letting him free. My heart was broken and I was sure I would never know happiness again.

Now I have had a new job for three months. and see a certain man every day. I have become so fond of him that, even though I am against divorce and second marriage, I am sure if he ask- ed me to marry him I couldn't refuse. He hasn't asked me to go out with him but I know he likes me. We have talked very little about ourselves but he knows my situation, and about the chil- dren. I haven't even thought of my husband in two months. but find myself waiting for every glimpse of this man. Could there be any hope for a future with him?

ANSWER: While there is little help that I can give-or that you would accept-my chief purpose in publishing your letter is to prove that broken hearts can heal. Perhaps not always with the rapidity with which yours was mended, but a bright future looms ahead in almost any disaster.

na MAY 31: Msiumin

You are, to be perfectly blunt. making a fool of yourself over this business acquaintance. Your letter very clearly leaves open the pos- sibility that he may he married-a fact you apparently have neglected to ascertain. His actions toward you are typical of the usual office philanderer A few stolen kisses, mutual flattery and declarations of pseudo-affection can lighten the monotony of a day's work, and I greatly fear that that is all you mean to your Lothario.

Your life has not been too well ordered since your much-too-early miirringe, but you are now 25. and should be experienced enough to separate the real from the spurious. With one disastrous marriage behind you, don't make the horrible mistake of taking on another one.

Your moral objections to second marriage are a matter between you and your conscience. If you need assistance along this line, see your minister. Apparently, however, the qualms are ready to be smothered by the first proposltioning male who comes along. Exercise ii little more discretion in your choice of friends; if nec- ry, take another job to get away from the bad influence under which you are now moving. I am quite convinced that the man in the case is not honorably inclined. Any attentions you accept from him will lead to more trouble than you have already had.

DEAR MISS Dix: A year ago I married. after breaking an en- gagcment to another man because I fell in love with my husband. I am now 21, he is 27. My husband was wonderful when I went with: him, but now all he does is stay home and save money. I keep think-l lng of the other man and wish I had married him.

G. E.

ANSWER: Not an uncommon situation for one who made a sud- den switch from one man to another. Give your marriage a fair chance: one year is too short a time and you are too easily dissatis- fied. You apparently married quickly, with little realization of the responsibilities you would incur. Think about them now and ask yourself if you are doing a thorough job of being a good wife.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been going with a boy since Christ- mas and. though we have occasional quarrels, we get along pretty well on the whole. He says he is going to change some of my ways as he doeanlt approve of them. I'm 16. he is three years older. Should I do as he says, or give him up?
