(By George Ronald, can“; Press Staff Writer) m WASHINGTON, Aug. ao-(gp)... -—A little-known plant with a ton. gue-twlsting name has emerged as the new hope of arthritis sufferers. Strophanthus sarmentosus, a vlna found in parts of Africa and Asia. may be an important source of cortisone, a hard-to-mako cheml. cal which shows promise as a con- queror of arthritis. "We have strong reason to be. lleve that certain plants of the strophanthus variety may offer a source of supply for cortisone", says Oscar R. Ewing, federal se- curity administrator. But. he em. phasises there is no definite proof so far. Scientists of the United States public health service and agricul- turrdepartment now l" 1n 14b. "l! gathering a large supply of ‘he Plant as a basis for full-scale tests to determine once and for all whether sarmentosus ls, in fact a "wonder plant." Meanwhile, officials caution against undue optimism, News- papers are warning the 7,000,000 arthritis victims ir. the United States that it may be several years before‘ they can hope for reliet‘\_ even if sarmentosus is what the scientists think it is. Cortisone itself is brand new. Its development-Jrom the bile of oxen-was announced last April by 8 Broup of doctors nt the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Admin- istered in small doses to a few persons crippled by arthritis. it had remarkable effects, they said. Pain disappeared; patients who had been bedridden became able to walk, dance and run. The drug was found to have similar effect on persons suffering from rheu. matic fever. Bu! symptoms returned when cortisone doses were withheld. That indicated cortisone might be to arthritis as insulin is to dia- betes: injections might iiave to be made at regular intervals to com- bat the disease successfully. To treat one pateint for one day would require ali- the cortisone available from the‘hile of 40 oxen. That makes the drug so costly and so limited in supply as to be vir. tually impractical for large-scale application. 1t is at this point that atrophan- thus aarmentosus enters tho pic- ture. Scientists say that the vine yields more than 12,000 times as much raw material for cortisone as does ox bile. So-if the plant is available in sufficient quantity and can be made to produce con tisone fairly inexpensively-an- other hurdle may be passed. This vine which may have such beneficial application is also put to sinister use in Africa, the Na- tional Geographic Society says. "Cultivation of the strophanthus vine now is forbidden in Africa because of the highly p‘ s character of its seeds," the society says, "From several wild species. however, West African natives long have made lethal tips for their arrows. “So widespread is this practice that the strophanthus is often re- ferred to as the Arrow Poison Vine. . . A tiny concentration on the point of a needle is said suf- ficient to kill a man within s few minutes if injected into his veins. "West African tribesmen also make a atrophanthus brew for use in ceremonial trials by ordeal. In such trials a person accused of breaking tribal laws is required to drink the hitter mixture. If he‘ dies. he is deemed guilty; if not. innocent. The number found guilty African plant collectors have ob- served, is not surprising." The plant appears tough and adaptable, scientists say. On its native ground it has shown ability to withstand long periods of drought. The Washington Star. cautious- ly hopeful that the strophanthus story will have a rich, happy ending, comments: "Some day, perhaps in less than a generation, this story may be recognized as one of the most im- pcrtnnt in the history of disease and health. It is overshadowed at the moment by headlines about ‘fivc-per-ccnters,’ scarce dollars and armaments. but in its poten- tial meaning it seems tn tower over all of‘ them, and certainly it shows up man in a far finer light."

Britain's Seaweed May Bring Millions LONDON. Aug. 30—-ICP)— Why not farm the sea? This is one question facing the ministry of supply after n national survey of Britain's coastline resources, The survey shows that seaweed alone could make home industry worth millions of pounds. "Seaweed?" said a research chemist. "By that alone Britain can make an enormous contribu- tion to world trade: yet, all round the coasts we have millions of tons of lt lying idle, largely ignor- erl. while we import thousands of tons, mainly from Norway and Eire. "Cellulose. pharmaceutical goods. plastics, building materials, polish- as. commercial gums, manure-s and certain new types of foods are some of the products Britain could derive from her seaweed. "In alginaia yarn alone. are wide possibilities that must not be overlooked. An important composite of many of the latest, most fashionable ciothinl mater- ials, it has unlimited possibilities. Britain has put her seaweed to certain small uses over the years but it has never been developed industrially. Prior to the discovery nf cheaper methods of obtaining iodine. the Scottish Highlands used it. for that purpose. And. about 300 years ago. "black butter" was considered a great delicacy.
