But cobra venom is a drug that doesn't "drug, In the sense of stupefying. It is s powerful as morphine. But unlike that opi ate, It actually sharpens the hu man senses while deadening pain. That's Just part of the strange medical story told by Dr. David L Macht of Baltimore, American discoverer of the value of cobra venom. He reports its successful use in a lengthening list of ail ments, from cancer to arthritis and migraine. Injected With Hypodermic The venom, purified and inject ed by hypodermic, acts on the pain center in the brain to give relief. The reason for its mental stimula tion is not known. But Dr. Macht found persons could solve mathematical prob lems faster than normally when they had injections of the venom. Doses of morphine slowed their reaction. 4 He also discovered the venom sharpened vision and enlarged the field of vision persons could see more clearly and distinguish bet ter among colors. It likewise stimulated hearing and the sense of smell. These unusual reactions led to experiments with certain mental ailments, but tne venom was found ineffective as a cure for them beyond the temporary men tal "boost." Effects Last Longer The venom does not cure phy sical diseases. Like morphine or other pain-killers, it simply gives relief. Cobra venom takes longer to act than morphine, but its ef fects last longer, Dr. Macht said. And it is not habit-forming like opium. The experiments started six years ago, with venom first given to persons suffering torturing pains from incurable cancers and other malignancies. " ""'. Since then physicians, mostly American workers, reported suc cessful use of the venom to east pains from arthritis, angina pec toris, shingles, tic douleureux, some forms of neuritis, radium burns, locomotor ataxia, migraine, and sometimes epilepsy.

Scientists Agree 7 Biblical Days " Were Years MAumiJ a geologist and a theologian have fitted their sci ences logeiner to present o new conception of the time element represented in Genesis, first book of the Bible. In a new book, Dr. Lopez de Acona of the Spanish Institute of Geology " and MineroTogy, and Juan Leal Luna, professor of the ology,, present their belief that the seven days of creation actually represented long periods of years. necessary for transformation of nebulous gaseous materials into final planetary forms. According to their computations the first day lasted 20,000,000,000 years; the second 2,000,000,000; the third, 1,500,000,000; the fourth, 160,000,000; the fifth, 70,000,000. and the sixth, 30,000,000.
