At the present time 17 bulls and 20 heifers have been regis tered for the sale and another 20 head is expected before the sale which will be held at the Jackson county fairgrounds.

Cabinet members who held their first regular meeting with Ishibashi Tuesday expressed hope the West will soon end its trade embargo against Red China. The Medical Roundup by A AT ' Emeritui Consultant In Medicine, Majo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation r - , Injuries Due To Powerful Drugs I Some 55 years ago, when I was I a boy, I helped my doctor father in his office. The drugs avilable in that day were so weak they were fair ly safe; most them were made from herbs, and they could not do much harm. Aside from the c h e m i cals, or Aivarei such as arsenic and mercury, and the poisons like strychnine there weren't many drugs strong enough to do much harm, unless they were given in enormous doses. In my youth there came on the market the first so-called coal-tar derivatives such as Ace tanilid, acetphenetidin, Antipy rin, amidopyrine and Aspirin. Then, physicians began to run into difficulties, due largely to the hypresensitiveness of certain persons to the new drugs. Even a tablet of Aspirin would some times make a sensitive woman's face swell up. Today, as we all know, the druggist's shelves are filled with powerful drugs which, ' in the cases of certain sensitive persons, can produce serious injury and even death. Because of this there is great need today for the ex ercise of caution in the use of these substances. Many should be used only in cases of great need; many should be tested at first with care; in each case their ac tion should be watched by a physician, and always the pat ient should be warned to stop taking the drug the minute alarming symptoms appear. We physicians would do well never to begin by giving a patient per haps 4 dozen tablets that he can take by himself without supervi sion. In hundreds of thousands of cases the dangerous drug should never have been given at all; it wasn't really needed. The patient would have recovered in a few days without it. As I write this, In comes a wo man who tells me her life has been ruined by one injection of a large dose of an antibiotic given her a year and a half ago for a slight cold! She promptly developed a most distressing burning of her tongue and her throat, and a terrible itching all over her body. She still is an in valid, and no medicine has help ed her to recover. How much better if the doctor had given her a few tablets containing only a mild and safe sedative that could hardly have done any harm; or how much better if the woman had done like most of us doctors do with a slight cold, and had taken nothing! Of late my brother physicians have been reading with much in terest an article in the New Eng land Journal of Medicine en titled "Diseases of Medical Pro gress," by Major Robert H. Mos er, MC. USA. He writes of dis eases that came because the pat ient took some drug to which he had an idosyncrasy. Among the conditions which are being pro duced today by the use of drugs. Dr. Moser listed a number of fairly rare diseases about which we physicians know little ex cept that they can be very ser ious. Major Moser mentioned some of the neurologic troubles which occasionally follow the use of some of the new tranquilizing drugs. Among these troubles are depressions or other mental up sets, damage to the hearing ap P a rat us, peripheral neuritis, with pain and paralyses; par alysis of the face; a shaking palsy, habituation, and jaundice. There are injuries to the liver produced by a number of thp newer drugs. There arc also the i serious and sometimes faUl in juries to the blood-forming or- : gans which cause a diminution , in the number of the white blood i cells, and with this, a loss of re- sistance to infection, t Metabolic diseases, such as gout and the formation of kidney stones, can follow the use of the new "antifolic acid compounds." By destroying large numbers of cells in the body, these drugs throw into the blood stream ex cessive amounts of the nucleo-' proteins which are fore-runners of uric acid. There are many troubles that can follow an overdose of cortis one, or the sudden withdrawal of cortisone after a person has taken a lot of it. Severe and even fatal peptic ulcers may follow the misuse of cortisone or cortisone-like drugs. A goiter can ap pear after the taking of certain drugs, such as phenylbutazone and preparations of cobalt. There are many serious and sometimes fatal disturbances pro duced in over-sensitive persons by antibiotics. There are serious illnesses and even deaths due lo the unwise use of large doses of drugs that lessen the ability of the blood clot. There are often serious and even fatal reactions to the injections of serums into highly allergic persons. Disturb ances in the heart beat can be produced by a number of drugs! The kidneys and the skin can I sometimes be seriously injuried Dy some oi tne new medicines. The moral of all this is that laymmen should not so often de mand these drugs. A fine child ren's specialist was just telling me that nowadays he spends much of his time explaining why he refuses to acquiesce to the de mands of mothers that he give their children an antibiotic for some slight infections or cold which, if left alone, will almost certainly clear up in two days.
