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

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

markable severe type of dia

$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

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

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

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."
