The Medical Roundup Cmcrltui Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation Or What Should The Drug Addict Do? I recently read the transcript of a Modern Medicine interview with Harry Anslinger, Commis sioner of the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics, on the problems of addiction. He pointed out a number of d i f f i c u lties that his depart ment has had to face. In Alvarez some places the judges have not been tough enough with peddlers. In those cities in which the judges did get tough, the peddlers fled. Apparently, there are about 60.000 addicts in this country. Anslinger says that they are mainly cencentrated in New York City, Philadelphia, Pitts burgh, Detroit, Chicago and some places in Texas and Cali fornia. He says the problem is practically non-existent in the South, the Middle West, and the Northwest. Is it wise to try to cure an ad dict in his home? Usually, it is a waste of time. One must have the man held for a while in a hospital. Government experts like to hold him for six months or until he gets strong and able to -stand up to strains and temp tations. The trouble with most addicts is that they are not well adjusted people. They are much like the alcoholic, who, when ever the going gets rough, reaches for the bottle. But, as Dr. Nyswander, who is an ex pert on addicts says, it is hard on a man and, in some ways, bad for him to be locked up for six months. There are two fine govern ment hospitals for the treatment of addicts, one in Lexington, Ky., and the other in Fort Worth, Texas. I once spent a couple of days at Lexington with Dr. Vogel and his able associ ates and was well impressed with the fine way in which the hospital was run, and the kind ness shown the patients when they were being gotten off their drug. After they were relieved of distress, they were put into shops where, so far as possible, they were prepared for life out in the world again. Dissatisfaction Expressed Certainly, any man who has become an addict, and is strug gling desperately every day to find or steal the $20 or so he needs for his peddler, ought to go to Lexington or Fort Worth and get off the stuff. In another interview, Dr. Ma rie Nyswander, a psychiatrist who is an expert on addicts and has written a book, called 'The Drug Addict as a Patient," ex pressed her dissatisfaction with the way in which the addict problem is handled in the United States. She does not believe the handling of all addicts should have been taken out of the hands of the medical profession and given over to laymen. She is distressed over the fact that, because of the way in Spend Your Evenings Together . . . Browsing in the friendly atmosphere of Med ford's Finest Drug Store! PHARMACY, inc. 101 NO.

Doctors have been scared out of doing anything for these unfortunates. Dr. Nyswander hates to see the drug addicts looked on and treated as crimi nals. As she says, they are pri marily sick people with a weak will and a poor nervous system. Usually they rob only when dri ven to it by their terrible need for money with which to buy the drug they must have. Dr. Nyswander says it is true that many of the 'cured" pa tients go back onto drugs every so often, but, as she notes, "re lapse is part of the disease." Hopefully, she says that "the re lapse periods get shorter and shorter as the life of the addict becomes more productive." Dr. Nyswander feels, as I imagine most ' doctors do, that physicians should have some thing to say and something to do about tackling this primarily medical problem. Colonic Washing For the last 50 years, there have been places in every large city in which a person can have his colon washed out. People ask me whether it is likely to cure them of their troubles, and if the practice is dangerous. I know of no danger, but, also, I know of little chance that the proce dure will do good. My impres sion is that it would be much cheaper to take an anema 'at home by ones self. It would save time and so far as I can see, the results would be the same. The idea back of colon-washing is that people can be pois oned by the re-absorption of the foul material held for a while in the large bowel. Actually, there is much evidence to show that such re-absorption does not take place. Many years ago, when asked by the journel Physio- Friday, December 6, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Employment Dips In Coastal States San Francisco (01 Wage and salary employment, excluding domestic, agricultural and self employed workers, dropped by 61,200 to a mid-October total of 5,840,000 in the three Pacific Coast states, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This was about 8,000 more than the expected seasonal drop, the department said. All three coastal states par ticipated in the monthly employ ment decline. California, with an employment of 4,543,600, was down 33,000 from September; Oregon's total of 486,000 was down 16,000; and in Washington employment declined 12,000 to total of 810,700. Four Lanes Due Road Near Roseburg Portland (IT) The State High way commission Thursday after noon approved a $430,000 proj ect to add two more lanes to Highway 99 near Roberts Moun tains just south of Roseburg. The present two-lane stretch which is 1.74 miles long, is sand wiched between four-lane sec tions of the highway. The nar row pavement has caused a num ber of accidents. State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams told the commission. CHARLES WRIGLEY DIES Chicago (IF) Charles W. Wrigley, 84, member of a prom inent Chicago family and presi dent of the Charles W. Wrigley company, died here Tuesday at a nursing home after a long ill ness. Wrigley's firm specialized in outdoor advertising, Wrigley's brother, the late William Wrig ley Jr., was the founder of the Wrigley Chewing facturing firm. Gum manu- logical Reviews to prepare an article for them on the status of knowledge in regard to this, I reviewed the litearture, and had to report that there was no sci entific evidence to indicate that any disease is due to absorption from the colon. I could not find any reason for believing that there is even a headache due to intestinal autointoxication, and I found much evidence against the idea. However, there are thousands of people who love to be fussed over and tb have things done for them in a medi cal way, and so there will al ways be customers for the colon-washers. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer re quests for information or to at tempt to diagnose by mail.

Certainly, it has had no precedent insofar as beauty is concerned. In its graceful symmetry of line and in its remarkable. look of statute and substance, it is in a class all of its own. Unquestionably, it is without counterpart by the way of interior elegance. Never before have Fleet wood coachcraf ters comhined such graciousness and luxury and spaciousness in a single interior design. And, most assuredly, it has set its own extraoi dinary pace in modern motor car performance. Its dynamic new engine, its more responsive trans mission, and its new air. suspension, now available as an extra-cost option, are simply a revelation. We earnestly hope that you will take the time to see and drive this extraordinary new Cadillac at your earliest possible convenience. Your Cadillac dealer will be delighted to give you full details on Cadillac's twelve new models, including the incomparable Eldorado Brougham.
