THE SUNDAY OBEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 22, 1922 - - 4 WIT 51 i DIABETES REMEDY Patients Deluge "Doctors With Inquiries. RESULTS ARE AMAZING All of Afflicted Persons in Ad- Tanced Stages of Disease Im- proved by Treatment. TORONTO, Oct. 21. (Special.) DIsoovery of a treatment for dia betes by Dr. F. G. 'Banting and his associate, C. H. Best, two young Toronto graduates, has aroused the keenest Interest throughout the medical world. Recent publicity was deplored by members ot the medical faculty of the University of Toronto, because it had already resulted in a deluge of requests for treatment from phy sicians and patients all over Canada and the United States. These re quests it is impossible to entertain because the extract which is the basis of the treatment, cannot as yet be . produced in anything but email quantities. Advanced Canes Treated. Toronto experiments on human patients have been proceeding since January of the present year in the Toronto general hospital, in the Chrlstle-street hospital for soldiers and among a few private patients. There have been interruptions and delaya, but up to the present several dozen patients, most of them in ad vanced stages of the disease, have been treated. "Is it correct to say that not a single patient who has received the treatment has died?" Professor J. J. R. Macleod, head of the de partment of physiology in the Uni versity of Toronto, was asked: "That is true." "Has the condition of each patient been Improved?" "I believe so." "Has there been an improvement following every treatment?" "Yes, providing the physiological assay of the extract was satisfac tory." Symptoms Are Removed. "Do you describe the treatment as a cure for diabetes?" "No. The treatment resembles the use of thyroid extract in disease of the thyroid gland. As long as it is applied the symptoms are. re moved." Whether the treatment will de velop into a cure is for the future to determine. . Professor Macleod pointed out that it is quite inaccurate to refer to the treatment as a "serum" treatment. The liquid used is an extract, not a serum. It is, how ever, applied subcutaneously by hy podermic injection. The potent factor of the extract Is technically known as insulin be cause it is derived from the island tissue of the pancreas, and the treatment is becoming known as the Insulin treatment. Results Are Amazing. Insulin, however, is not a sub stance which can be separated and labeled pure insulin. It, is always mixed with something else. It is of the nature of a ferment. When the specialist speaks of the physi. ological assay of the extract he re fers to the strength of the extract In insulin, just as a metallurgic assay refers to the amount of pur metal in a piece of ore. While credit for a "cure" is so far disclaimed by all directly concerned, the results of the treatment are amazing and consistent. Diabetes, as those who have come in contact with the disease know, is a condition which makes the body Incapable of assimilating or "oxi dizing" sugar, so that the essential foods containing sugar and the starches can no longer be utilized. There are many degrees of viru lence, but, according to the diction ary, diabetes melitus is "a disease usually fatal." While diabetes is not so prevalent as cancer or tu berculosis, it Is widespread, and in Toronto, with a population of 600. 000, it Is estimated there are 5000 cases. It is. therefore, one of the major scourges of humanity. Staple Foods Denied. The modern treatment of diabetes has consisted of an effort to ameliorate conditions and In severe cases to prolong life by a diet rig idly excluding so far as possible the sugar which a normal body needs and craves. Such staple articles of food as white bread and potatoes must be denied. All the carbohy drates (sugar and starches) must be" drastically reduced and If nec essary the proteins, such as mat and eggs. In milder cases of diabetes the diet treatment produces results, but it is the severe diabetes melitus that Dr. Banting has challenged. . Some patients who have taken the insulin treatment had previously been reduced to a diet containing less than 1000 calories a day. As the requirement of a normal body is from 2000 to 2500 calories a day," the restricted diet of these patients approached starvation. Accompany ing injections of insulin, an almost normal diet has become possible. Boy First Treated. One patient took without ill ef fects eleven times more sugar than when on his restricted diet, some thing that would have killed him previous to taking the injections. The first case treated was that of a boy aged 14, a severe case of juvenile diabetes. His chart as soon as tile dosage had been adjusted showed a marked fall in the quan tity of sugar. These illustrations are typical of all hat have been treated. So efficacious and direct is the re. action from the injections that it Is possible, if care is not exercised to keep the dosage down to proper proportions, to decrease the quan tity of sugar in the patient's blood below what is required, a circum stance which might ' have serious results. The discovery of the insulin treat ment is described by one' Toronto practitioner as "one of the most brilliant pieces of,research that has been done In the history of medi cine." 1 . jungles and other habitats of wan derers that Portland is a city to be avoided. In the examination of transients arrested In yesterday's raid, the prisoners told of the warn ing that has permeated the hobo world of the northwest regarding the hostility of the Portland police. "We have information that the I. W. W. have been warned not to try to enter Portland by box car or brakebeam route," -said Chief Jenk ins, yesterday. f "We know that none of the Wob blies has entered the city by that route in the past few days. , In fact, there has been no hobo travel. Town Too Quiet. "Things are a bit too quiet, though, to please me. I have heard rumors that the Wobblies are as sembling in small towns outside of Portland and are prepared to come here en masse. I do not know how much truth there is to these rumors. I have also-heard that a number a. coming into Portland by paying their fares on passenger trains. "One of two things is certain. We have either got the I. W. W. so thoroughly cowed that the individ ual members do not care to take a chance here, or else they are quietly planning some strategic move. If the latter is true, we are ready for them. They will be arrested as fast as they arrive." It was reported in police circles yesterday that George Vanderveer, chief counsel of the I. W. W. and the man who defended the Centralia murderers, was en route to Port land to assume charge of the legal defense of all radicals arrested here. Leaders' Karnes Learned, If Vanderveer did arrive, he did not make his presence known to the police. The names and records of eight prominent workers in "the organization, all of whom are in Portland at present, are also in the hands of the police. The radicals were less in evidence yesterday than on any day since the strike commenced. Members of the International Longshoremen's association were the most prominent on the picket lines, policemen re ported. The prisoners took their arrest as a matter of fact. While being driven to jail in patrol wagons they sang revolutionary songs and shouted at passersby. While under going examination they laughed and chatted with their captors, nose tak ing his arrest seriously. An 'interesting sidelight on the growth of the outlaw organization was obtained by police officials in the examination of a hobo taken ' from a freight train. He carried an I. W. W. card, having joined, he stated, because train crews through Montana allow all hobos carrying red cards to ride free on trains. Other tramps, not members of the organization, are not allowed on trains. Many Leave City. The campaign on the I. W. W. is having one salutary effect on Port land. Hundreds of undesirables, not connected with the movement, have suddenly decided to leave. "The population of the north end is tha lowest in many months," said Chief Jenkins, 'yesterday, "With our squads combing the city at all times and forcing every suspicious char acter to give an account of himself, hundreds of offenders, afraid of being brought in and photographed, have decided to leave town." FRAUD CHARGE IS MADE Suit Filed Over Appraisal of Truenian li. Adams Estate. That William Kennard and George W. Bates Jr., as executors and trus tees of the setate of Trueman I Adams, fraudulently conspired Id having appraisal of the estate made is alleged in a suit filed yesterday in circuit court by Ray Adams and Mabel P. Adama, through her guard ian, Theresa A. Johnson. Harry L. Raffety, who served as attorney for the plaintiffs, is also named as a de fandant in the action. This pravs for an accounting by the trustees for annulment of their inal report and that they be removed by the court. At the time of his death in 1917 Adams was half owner of the de partment store of Kennard Adams, on Williams avenue. His half in terest was appraised at $7500, the complaint states. Instead of a value of $15,000, as thus fixed, the com plaint says the real value of the store was J56.971.55, against which there was an indebtedness of $15, 680. The wrongful appraisal re sulted in a loss to the Adams estate of $13,145.77, the complaint sets forth. Profits of the business wer said to have been $12,00fl for the year ending with August 1917 and J1i?,4d8 far the next year. WIRTH'S DEATH AVERTED Chancellor on Day Set for Assas sination Still Alive. BERLIJT, Oct. 21. This was the day set for the assassination of Chancellor Worth, but he was still living and happy tonight, and a young man said by the police to have informed them of the plot re mained imprisoned at Hagen in the province of Westphalia. According to the information whic hthe police said he gave them voluntarily, the murder was to have been carried out in the same man ner as the assassination of the late Forign Minister ' Rathenau. The youth was publicly reported to have said that an, organization sworn to bring about the assassination of the chancellor hired him to do it, and that he accepted the engagement, but from the beginning never in tended to keep his word. FAIR ORATORS DRILLED r "SCHOOL OF. DEMOCRACY" IS HELD FOB WOSIEN. National Suffrage Leader Pre pares Party Adherents to ' Take Stump. AKRON, O., Oct. 21 . "school of democracy" for women of Ohio who expect to take the stump for their party in the remaining days of the present campaign, was opened Thurs day with Mrs. Halsey W. Wilson of New York, national suffrage leader and prominent democratic party worker, as the "teacher." Mr. Wilson told her students how to dress, talk impressively, be pre pared to answer questions, tell funny stories to win over hostile or apathetic audiences and how to start and when to conclude properly their address es. Stressing- on the matter of dress, Mrs. Wilson told her class not to be "a fashion plate , when you get up to make a speech." Among other -admonitions were these: Don't wear a veil under any cir cumstances. Don't wear a skirt so short that your audience will look at your ankles; but don't wear one so lon that the women in the audience will think you have the latest style from New York or Paris: . Never hold a bag or pocketbook in your hand Never point at your audience with a lorgnette, pencil or paper. Do not wear, flapper earring. Mrs. Wilson urged her' students to practice their methods of speak ing in front of a mirror, "then be fore your husband, children, and neighbors." "If you have nothing more to say, after having talked a while, don't keep on your feet; sit down," she said. " , 'True democracy is second only to true Christianity," Mrs. Wilson said. REVOLT HELD BLOCKED ' (Continued From First "PaKe.) transfer of certain property, must be determined in a court of justice." Difficulties Are Recounted. The attorney - general recounted the difficulties encountered in war fraud prosecutions in the face of scattered evidence of which he said the previous administration did not avail itself when the time was op portune. He said his own adminis tration had gone to work as soon as it was installed. ;. "As soon as it became known how effectually the work was going on," he continued, 'the storm broke. The opposition of the crooks was con ducted behind a smoke screen of calumny, created for their own es cape, and the real reason for the attack was, In every instance, with held. .The very men against whom both civil and -criminal proceedings have been brought were using the ignorant and the notoriety seeker to make chaTges in the open that noth ing was being done by the depart ment of justice. ' ' "The real reason for their activity was the fact that things were being done. What did any man's reputa tion, his character, his life even, amount to if it stood in the way of their corrupt defense? But we have gone through it all and still we are not afraid, and we will go on. "A congressio'nal investigation was demanded. Why? Because they could then, as they thought, disor ganize us and compel us to produce the evidence prematurely and thus dissipate the government's efforts to bring and try the cases in a dig nified, orderly way." Enmity to Labor Denied. Mr. Daugherty prefaced hia dis cussion of the rail strike with an as surance that he was no enemy of honestly organized labor. "I am your sincere friend and will not deceive you,"- he said, addressing the laborer directly, "but you make a mistake when you set up rules in conflict with the rules, laws and constitution of our common country. "Your principal trouble lies and your greatest danger is in the radicalism and character of some of your most prdminent leaders. Your security lies in the constitution of the United States and in the laws of the United States and in' the good opinion, by you deserved, of all the American people. There is no quarrel between labor and the government. "A few irreconciliable railroad executives, who insist upon calling themselves 'hard boiled," might also, with considerable benefit to the country, be dispensed with. Tho fault is not all on one side, but at a time when strife that was almost civil war raged in this country, the government having the right to do so, Insisted upon the railroad per forming their necessary functions to serve the people.
