Beautiful new colors have been added through the years and the season is weeks longer. if cai'l_v and late varieties are planted. They will stand a good deal of neglect and only today has the grass been weeded from the iris in this garden. This is the way iris is described in a lovely catalogue: "No flower in the gar- den produces siich a riot of color as the new tall bearded iris. An iris garden in full bloom looks as if some invisible painter had flung his pot of colors about in all directions —- a splash of red here. a dash of yellow there and every color of the rainbow flowing in between. In fact, no flower in existence possesses so great a color range as the ills. And besides. they are dependable. easy to grow, and vcry hardy." No perennial garden is complete without. a gt-iicrous planting oi these radiant. flowers that combine the boldness of color display with the fragility of orchids. Iris are especially beautiful harmonized with peonies and puppies which bloom at the same timc.

Either you're very un- reasonable or there's something in the situation that hasn't been dis- closed. Could it be that Mom and Dad are so very useful or so gen- erous with time and money that each family wants to keep them? Apparently it isn't the condition in each individual home that causes dissatisfaction in the old- 51‘ Deople, but. a strong desire to set on and see how the growing family is progressing. since the children are so wide. ly scattered. seeing them all even once a year would involve more travel than is feasible; hence the parents have hit upon the excel. lent. scheme of making lengthy visits.

D- HEBPEB Z03'l‘EB—8lllNGLES — TREATED WITH CORTISONE A patient oonsuitedhls physician and asked him what was the cause of what. seemed to be a number of small inflamed pimples. The physi- clan replied that it. was very likely herpes zoater which can last a num- ber of weeks with itching and some- times very severe pain. usually fol- lowing the course of a nerve on one side of the body. Some of these cases persist for years. particularly in the elderly, the pimples or blis- ters clearing up but the pain re- curring. other cases may run a regular course of four to six weeks. as do many children's diseases. and then clear up completely. Since the demonstration in IMO of the dramatic effects of cortisone in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. both this drug and ACTH have been tried in a variety of other diseases and they are continually being employed by research phy- sicians. one of the latest being in herpu zoeler. Five patients. four women and one man. ranging in ages from 32 to 72 years. with severe herpes water, were given cortisone by mouth. They were given 200 mg. the first day in four divided doses. followed by 100 mg. daily for seven days. 'I‘hereafu:r the dose was reduced to 25 mg. twice I day for four days. What was the effect of this treatment of shingles by cortisone? Dramatic relief of pain occurred in four of the five cases treated. The skin eruption did not progress in any of the patients nor was there any evidence of a secondary or fur- ther infection, healing occurring within one to three weeks. All pat- ients felt. so well they were able to go on with their usual work. Although this is but. a small group. such favorable results are of real significance. None of the patients had any side effects from the cor- tisone. Shingles in elderly patients is particularly stubborn and often refuses to respond to any form of treatment. and in this particular group the majority were between 50 and 70 and yet had very good results. cortisone has already been found to be of value in the treatment of typhoid. ulcerstlve colitis. bacterial pneumonia. severe peritonitis, mumps. trichlnoeis (from eating underdone pork). and Rocky Moun- tsln spotted fever. Now it appears to have also been of benefit in the severe pain and complications of herpes mater. particularly in the elderly who have been so difficult to help and yet have suffered so severely.
