MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1936, SECRET OF GOOD DIGESTIVEACT10N Unidentified Stomach Secre tion Keeps Body From Starving On Full Rations Is New Medical Theory By HOWARD W. BLAKE8LEB (Associated Press Science Editor.) CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 17. (ff) People who starve eating lull meals were described at a symposium on "nutrition and deficiency diseases.' held at Harvard medical school as part of the Harvard tercentenary. Two newly recognized causes of thU starvation were explained. One Is a mysterious "X fsetor," believed to be a still unidentified stomach secre tion, which some persons lack. An other Is protein starvation. Diet Fads Hit. A group of more common 111 feel togs due to diet was explained by Oeorge B. Mlnot, M. O., who perfected the liver treatment for pernicious anemia, aa larROly due to Ignorance, stupidity and Xaddlsro. Or. Mlnot asserted the medical world here and abroad la excited about the "X factor." Its discoverer, William B. Castle, M. D., associate professor of medicine at Harvard, saM that lack of this digestive secretion results In pernicious anemia, aprue, a tropical and occasional northern disease In which fat Is not digested pellagra and "less well defined con dltlon." , When the "X factor" Is missing, the pepsin and hydrochloric acid ana ether known digestive torments con' tlnue to work normally. But one or more of the substances In food essential to health are not extracted It Is believed, said Dr. Castle, that the "X factor" Is tlio only unknown digestive substance. Liver Value Parallel. Certain diets appear to supply It automatically, aa liver In osse of anemia. Chester M. Jones, M. D., assistant professor of medicine, Harvard, re. ported any of several causes of pro tein starvation may lead to muscle wasting, weakness, swelling of the lower limbs and tendenoy to abnor mal accumulations of water In tho tissues. Two common causes of pro. teln starvation In "civil life," said Dr. Jones, are bad economtc condi tions and constitutional ausceptl plllty, other street attreotlons.
