Cobra Venom Being Utilized
As New c -Drugless Drug"
By ALTON I BLAKESLEE
: AP Feature Serrice
BALTIMORE The slithering
"sudden death" of India the
hooded cobra has curled up on
the physician's medicine shelf, its
venom turned into a powerful
pain-kiling drug.
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.

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.
The seventh day? The two be
lieve it began after man and
woman had been created, and that
it is the period in which the world
remains.
