DIZZINESS Many people ask what is diz ziness and what should they do lor it? Usually cannot guess because they don't tell me how old tjyy are, or many of the other facts I'd need to know. A high percentage of nervous women complain of dizziness or more proably, of a lackof xnai comiortable sense ot good balance normal that peo- anybody going a unrecognized excuse for around ' with diabetes. Because of our aBility now to keep diabetic children alive until they can marry and have children, the number of dia betics and potential diabetics is going to become even larger and larger. A while ago I had a 9omeit, inethe office with a re markable severe type of dia betes. I could guess why it was $100 Million AF Airplane Cancelled Washington U" The Air Force has cancelled a 100 mil lion dollar airplane without get ting a chance to take it on a ride. The decision to halt work on the 1.400-mile-an-hour XF-103, originally designed as an inter ceptor and then converted to a research project was prompted by the current economy axe and because other research vehicles would provide the same data, 'the Air Force said. '. A spokesman said the plane, under development for six years, had never reached the flying General Wanls Ike Inoculated Now Washington OPi Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney today urged for the second day in a row that President Eisenhower be inoculated promptly against Asiatic flu. Burney repeated the recom mendation in the face of the President's statement that he'd get a shot of Asiatic flu vaccine as soon as it becomes available to "ordinary people" such as himself. "The President of our country should receive an inoculation very promptly," Burney said. "Eventually we would like ev eryone to get one as quickly as opment by Republic Aviation and the Wright Aearonautical di- stage. It was under joint devel-vision of Curtis-Wright Corp. vaccine becomes available. But some is already available and the safeguarding of the Presi dent's health is vitally import ant." Burney said he discussed his recommendation on Wednesday with Dr. Howard McC. Snyder, the President's physician. He said Snyder "very definitely agreed with me." The Public Health service so far has approved release of only 502,000 shots of Asiatic flu vac cine for distribution through the normal channels. A limited num ber of shots already have been given in various parts of the country particularly to doc tors, nurses and other persons in key jobs. A PHS spokesman said if the Mrs. Eisenhower Also Has Say Around Home Washingtoi. (IP) The lady in the White House like most ladies seems to have a very final say on occasion. President Eisenhower was asked at his news conference pn Wednesday whether he plans to turn his Gettysburg farm over to the government eventually, "Well," the President replied, "actually I don't know, first of all, whether any public agency would ever be concerned in such a thing. Some people seem to President agreed to be inocula ted Snyder would have no diffi culty in obtaining a shot of vac cine either from civilian or mili tary 'sources. think it would, but I would say this: "Mrs. Eisenhower and I have not yet reached any complete agreement, and I must say her word about that farm, I believe, is probably decisive." There was a burst of laughter from the 193 reporters present, . The citizens of Linclon, New Mexico, present a colorful "Billy the Kid Pageant" every year. The exciting pageant, full of Old West gunplay and color, re-enacts the life of the young desper ado who terrorized southern New Mexico in the 1870s and '80s. Or Alvarez they hav?n't a balance. When these come with a certain amount of confusion or some nausea of vomiting, I think the trouble is due to what I call "a little stroke." A tiny artery in the brain was plugged up. Usually the next day the person is pretty well over the spell. Among the younger people the cause is more likely to be nervousness. Also, there is a type of dizziness, which comes in attack, in which the room seems to spin around, or the person feels he is spinning around. He is likely then to be nauseated or even to omit. Usually he has ear noises, and soon he'll notice that one ear hag lost some of its power to hear. This is what is called Men iere's disease. It is supposed by some experts .to be due to an allergic change oor a swelling in the lining of the inner ear. We don't know much about the cause and hence haven't any very good treatment. Doctors usually take away a person's table salt, and they give drugs like nicotinic acid and histamine which, for a few minutes, cause more blood to go into the arter ies of the head. Doctors give some of the antihistaminic drugs, and the antinausea drugs. Fortunately, after months or years, the trouble tends to quiet down. It is sad when, every so often a man comes in with perhaps gangrene of his foot, or badly injured eyes, or a dangerous heart attack, or serious injury to his kidneys, which could have been avoided if he had only known some time before that he was a diabetic. It is estimated that in this country there are about a million men and women who don't know that they have diabetes, or that they are head ed for it. Many of these persons are going to lose their lives be cause they do not know of their great danger. Certainly, all men and women who have a diabetic ancestry ought to be doing several things. Occasionally, they should test their urine for sugar. They r'-uld have a measurement made of their blood sugar once or twice a year and they should avoid getting stout. Many a person with a hereditary tend acy to diabetes would probably never get the disease if he were to eat so sensibly as not to injure the little cells in his pan creas which make the insulin he must have if he is to live. By eating too much, he tends to overwork the cells and to hasten the day when they degenerate. Now I read that it is planned all over the country to put into railway stations, department stores, bus terminals, restaur ants, supermarkets and drug stores, a tiny packet which will contain a. test strip of paper which turns blue the minute it is wet with a urine which contains sugar. With these pack ets available, there will be no pie have. Theo so severe when I learned that pd Lien is iiavK a feeling they might jint or fall down, but they very rarely do fall. Many oldopeo- ple complain of spells when good sense of both of her parents and all four of her grandparents had had diabetes. Many women a$k if there isn't soma medicine they can take to get rid of heavy hair on their thighs and legs, but I don't know of any. Rarely is such hairiness dus to any disease that we doctors can cure by giving glandular extracts. Most women keep the hair down by shaving every few days. If a woman can afford it and wants to do it, she can go to a electrologist and have the hair removed with the help of a tiny needle and an elcttric current! There are licensed practitioners who do this work in every big city.

Children May Have Reactions to Vaccine New York IIP) The New York City Health Department warned Wednesday that children tend to have severe reactions to the Asiatic flu vaccine. While emphasizing there was nothing wrong with the vaccine, the department said experience shows children are inclined to react severely after receiving inoculations. A department spokesman said two Brooklyn children ran tem peratures of 105 degrees and had to be hospitalized Tuesday after receiving the vaccine from a pri vate physician. .Dr. Roscoe P. Kandle, acting commissioner, said the severest effects from the vaccine "usual fy occur in children under 10." Read and Use Classified Ada The Low Cost Way To Sell a. " fear ir,-!
