STRYCHNINE POISONING, LOCKJAW AND 'HYDROPHOBIA' A characteristic sign of strych nine poisoning is the occurrence of SDasms or convulsions, ana in some instances strychnine poi soning is mis taken for "lockjaw" (tet anus) because spasms or con vulsions char acterize teta nus too. In one instance a little tot playing about the house came Dr. Brady upon a pack age of red sugar coated tablets of strychinlne and ate some as "candv." Presently the child went Into convulsions, unfortun ately. at the time, there was a tremendous "mad dog" cam paign on and the pragmatic health department seized upon the opportunity to stampede the credulous public the health de partment doctors (usually doc tors who, for want of a practice of their own, are glad to take a job that assures them the means of living), anxious to please the politician in control, "pronounc ed" the case "hydrophobia" not just rabies, if you will notice, but 'hydrophobia," which the politicians prefer as being, in their shrewd estimation, the more frightful term started Pasteur treatmont Immediately, but pointed out with regret that it was 'too late," for the child succumbed within 24 hours. It was odd, that case of health department "hydrophobia." Ac cording to the child's parent the child had been apparently per fectly well up to the abrupt oc currence of tlie first convulsion. The parent knew of no wound, scratch or bite by dog or animal altho a puppy In the neighbor hood often played with the chil dren. There was nothing wrong with the puppy and the parent knew of no dog or other animal in the neighborhood that was vicious or behaving strangely. The parent admitted that there was a box of red sugar coated tablets in a cupboard, left there for a year or two, and the chil dren could have found them.

The very abruptness of onset of the spasms or convulsions, out of a clear sky, strongly suggests strychnine poisoning and weighs almost as strongly against the inference that the child has any illness or disease. If lockjaw (tetanus) occurs, fol lowing some wound, puncture, scratch or abrasion, there is us ually if not always a premom tory or Invasion stage, lasting a few days, during which there is vague "sore throat" or complaint of some stiffness in the neck or tightness in the jaw or Inability to open the mouth as widely as before and perhaps some diffi culty In chewing and swallow ing. All of the somewhat stereo typed textbook descriptions of alleged rabies in man it is not able that even Dr. Osier s Prac tice of Medicine is no exception are composite pictures, made up from what this and that au thor has said about it. However, the textbooks all agree that there is a premonitory stage lasting at least several days, during which the patient is irritable, sleepless, apprehensive, depressed or mel ancholy and, as Osier expresses it, "has a constant sense of im pending danger." No spasm or convulsion in any description of human rabies or 'hydrophobia" until a later stage. As for that "constant sense of impending danger" no wonder the victim of "hydrophobia" pho bia is so scared. Isn't that what the health department people stage these periodic mad dog scares for?

ATOM MAY GIVE Dayton, O., Oct. 28 U.R First use of atomic energy for peacetime purposes will be in large power plant Installations, In the opinion of one of the key figures In the development of the atomic bomb. Dr. Charles A. Thomas, re search vice-president of the Mon santo Chemical Co., who express ed that view, said' that a lot of the "Buck Rogers" applications of atomic power that people arc talking about such as in planes and automobiles are still "a long way off." However, he added, "for large power plant Installations, I don't think It's as far off." Thomas, who was in charge of the chemistry and purification processes in producing Pluton ium for the atomic bomb, flew here from his home In St. Louis to meet with a group of 16 news men making a reconversion study of the nation's Industry.
