AFTER HEARING THE 60RY DEKILS FROM CLIENT FUNGUS... 4ND ABOUT THEM ! II The Medical Roundup by tmeritui Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medlcln. Mayo Foundation V, More Women Are Entering Medicine I recently read that in the academic year of 1955 to 1956 there were 1573 women study ing medicine in our 76 ap proved 4-year medical schools in the United States. This represents an increase in numbers of 2.3 per cent. As I read this note, wished V 2 Or Alvarez it could be read by all of those implacable enemies of medicine who fight us under the guise of animal lovers, and who would close all of our wonder-working laboratories in order to free a few dogs. They keep talking al ways as if our laboratories were manned by cruel and brutish men who torture animals to death just for the fun of it. Curiously, millions of people are taken in by this sort of propa ganda. Actually, millions of people during the next half century, if a visitor happens to go through a research laboratory, he will find some of the work being done by some of these fine, devoted 1573 women physi cians. The visitor will find most of the work being done by pleas ant young women many of them college graduates. If the visitor has spent his life read ing the usual literature of the anti-vivisectionists on dogs in laboratories he will be astound ed to find most of the work being done on "mice and white rats. There may not be a dog or a cat in the whole laboratory. When so very many o us are going to be attacked any day by cancer and will then greatly need help. I marvel that millions of people are always ready to join with the anti-vivisectionists in their desire to. close up for ever those great laboratories throughout this country in which men and women are now hot on the trail of a cure for can cerous growths. I marvel that people will gladly vote to de prive themselves and their chil dren of great gifts like the Salk vaccine for polio. The Writing of a Medical Book fpu,- non-scientists have any idea of the enormous amount of study, time and effort that go intn' tVit writine of a medical textbook. I recently read about the new edition of the 'Com r.ipat Pediatrician" bv Dr. Wil burt C. Davison. Dean of the croat nuke Medical School, in Durham. N.C. He says that "this edition was compiled m other wise idle minutes on trains, steamers, and planes, in bars on trains, steamers and at airports, anrl at lectures, concerts, and medical committee meetings:"' What interests me much is that hv keeDinsr a record of the time he spent. Dr. Davidson found that, in a period of 9 months, the book's 257 pages required 1.93Q, hours for compiling and writing. This was in addition to a half hour every day for the Drevious eisht years a half hour spent in reading and ab stracting the 6.437 references used to make the book up-to- (HEMORRHOIDS) 47 YEARS of successful practice in th. tr.otm.nt of rctal, colon ond stomach disorders. NO HOSPITAL OPERATION FOR INFORMATION: Wri or call fcr our oecripn bocilet. AbjcLrelr obligation. date. Finally, Dr. Davison and his wife and secretaries and medical associates spent 996 hours on reading proof so as to eliminate errors. This story interests me so much because my books have been written in just this way, in scraps of time snatched here and there. My latest book repre sents some eight years of hard labor, during which time I studied in detail the long rec ords I had made of the nervous and mental illnesses I had found and studied in over 1,000 fam ilies. Another book of mine was written only after I had read and abstracted all of the litera ture I could find in several languages, on the motor func tions of the digestive tract. In writing this book I used some 2,300 of these references. Every statement I made was backed up by some research, done either in my laboratory or in the labora tory of someone else. Not Good Pay Why do some of us physicians go to all this labor? Certainly not for money, because writing medical books does not pay well. No; it is done in order to dis seminate information to those doctors who are so swamped day and night with patients that they cannot do much reading. I have in mind a picture of my father a very busy physician who worked long hours seven days a week, and never got home before ten. Then he would get into bed with his medical journals about him and would The Hollywood Scene Hollywood (TP A new kind of TV show starring the pub lic is being prepared by Vi- d e os best known cops, Jack Webb and Ben Alex ander.

The Armour Research Founda tion said that two experimental sound systems one of them air borne have been developed for the Federal Civil Defense Ad ministration. The DuKane Corporation of St. Charles, 111., designed the systems and scientists at the re search foundation studied them for intelligibility under various operating conditions. The airborne system is de signed to provide voice communi cation from air to ground in order to control outdoor traffic and pedestrians during air alerts and after attacks, accord ing to Dr. Robert W. Benson of the foundation. The systems uses a Cessna 170 airplane, magnetic tape recorder, three 100-watt amplifiers, three 100-watt horn loudspeakers and a gasoline-driven motor gen erator. The other system tested was a fixed installation atop a build ing. It consisted of 32 100-watt loudspeakers installed on the roof of the 10-story Hotel Gary at Gary, Ind. Benson said the rooftop sys tem was designed to provide in telligible direction to the gen eral population within a one-square-mile area. "Results of the investigation show that both systems have more than adequate power and intelligibility for their intended functions," Benson said, "pro vided that relatively quiet con ditions prevail." 1 V ' ' Only One 1cAd 54" 9046 WAIST 24"- 30" Proctlco limited to Prortolorr Phrofh'ooiiri Chiroprocfic PMieioiu 2026 N.

Some 30 individuals are interviewed in each 30-min-ute film segment on every sub ject imaginable. Sound dull? Not so. In the pilot film Alexander (who plays detective Frank Smith to Webb s Joe Friday on 'Dragnet') talks to bums, students, bookies, sci entists and just plain folks. Television spokesmen say it's the first new type of entertain ment to hit video since Betty Furness' wrestling match with a refrigerator. Only One Pro "Ben will be the only pro fessional actor on the show," Webb explained. "All the others will be unrehearsed persons saying anything that comes to their minds. "We won't ask topical ques tions or drum up arguments. "It's not an Ed Murrow type program, and we're not trying to compete with news inter views. The show is difficult to describe because nothing like it has fiver been attempted. " "The secret of the show is in cutting and editing the film. That will eliminate repetitious material and self-conscious fumb ling around." Some segments of "people" will devote a few minutes to asking individuals the same questions, such as "What does a piano sound like?" The variety of answers is endless, and most are funny. On other occasions Alexander just ups and asks a person what he'd like to sound off about. "Every living soul has some By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer favorite topic to talk about," Webb says, "and they pitch right in. "The show is a natural out growth of 'Dragnet.' We use the closeup technique on interest ing faces. Who - knows, maybe we'll find potential actors to use for 'Dragnet'." The fast - paced show never spends enough time with any one person to bore viewers. Al exander roams from the seamy side of life to the estates in Bev erly Hills. "It's an inexpensive show," Webb concluded. "Once we get a sponsor we can be on the air within 30 days. We know we have an offbeat idea, but we're also confident that it will be a big favorite when it goes on the air." MUSIC PUBLISHER DIES New York HP S. H.

A few days ago our distributor phoned to tell us that the General Electric factory had just notified him that they had a few thousand 1957 colored washers and dryers available a very low close-out prices. We bought 26 pairs of these washers and dryers for our four stores. The price was so good that we wanted more, but this was our share. These washers and dryers will arrive in a few days and we will have 16 pairs for sale in our Medford and Ashland stores. We will have five green pairs, nine pink pairs, and two yellow pairs. The washer is the medium-priced General Electric Filter-Flo model, and the drver is our matching Air-Flo model. The washer and dryer were priced at $499.90. We will offer these special-purchase colored pairs at only $396. This is saying of $103.90, or about 20 off from our 1957 prices. i It is our policy to make good buys like this for our customers every chance we can. We will take orders on these washer and dryer pairs now, for del i very when they arrive, on a first-come, first-serve basis. We also have some white washers and dryers in stock that we bought earlier. We have the clearance price at $439.90 on our white pairs. Although this is a saving of $60.00 from the 1957 prices, it is not nearly as good a deal as the $396 price on the colored pairs that are coming. 4 OME 115 East Main AMCE Phone SP 3-5392
