The Medical
by
The Present - Day Search for
Drugs
As I have said in this col
umn before, many kindly peo
ple write me suggesting cures
ior cancer or
a r t h r itis or
something. I
a pprec iate
their desire to
help, but usu
ally I have to
answer that
nowadays few
people have
any co nee p-
Dr AJrares tion of the
enormous amount of work
that goes into the discovery
of just one valuable new
drug. Streptomycin was dis
covered after some 10,000
samples of soil secured from
places all over the world had
been cultured, and the molds
: that were obtained, tested for
antibiotic activity.
A tremendous amount of re
search has been done in the
last 10 years in a search for
a drug that will have several
times the curative effect of
cortisone, without its unpleas
ant and sometimes very harm
ful effects. Chemists in many
big laboratories have been
studying hundreds and hun
dreds of drugs one after
the other and, of course, at
great expense.
Recently, I read of a power
ful new cortisone-like drug
which is being tested by doc
tors all over. So far it looks
hopeful. In some ways, it is
many times more powerful
than is hydro-cortisone. It
hasn't the bad tendency to
cause sodium and water to
be retained in the body. The

generic name of the drug is
hexadecadrol. Among the men
who produced it are chemists
Sarett Arth and David John
son, and Drs. William Spoon
er, John Fried and Dale Hoff.
Requires Great Skill
Few people realize that
when a new drug is synthe
sized, usually only a few
grains of the substance are
made just enough to test
it out on some mice to see
how it works. If the results
are promising, then a tremen
dous effort has to be made
to make a few pounds of the
material. This is a job that
requires great skill and know
how. When one starts to make
a big batch, so many things
can go wrong that often the
material is ruined and has to
be thrown out. I see that the
group who did this particular
job included two physicians,
four biologists, 20 technical
assistants, 21 organic chem
ists, five physical chemists,
five laboratory technicians,
two chemical operators. There
were, all-told, 99 technically
trained personnel with 23
foremen, and this doesn't
count all the supporting ad
ministrative staff, the medi
cal research division, with its
clinical collaborators, or the
personnel required later for
large-scale production. It does
n't include the many physi
cians in this country and
abroad who are studying the
effect of the drug on their pa
tients.
Not infrequently after
huge effort of this type, when
the reports come in from the
doctors to the effect that
while some persons were spec
tacuiariy cured, some were
made seriously or fatally ill,
the medicine has to be with
drawn from the market, and
a million dollars has to be
written off as a loss.
Heart Attacks Are Not Due
To Menial Strain
In a column recently I
called attention to the fact,
well established of late, that
heart attacks are rarely
brought on by strenuous ex
ertion. Most of them come
while the person is either in
bed or sitting quietly.
Now, Drs. Richard E. Lee
and Ralph E. Schneider of
New York , have reported a
5-year study of 1,083 male ex
ecutives and 293 non-execu
tives, all over 40 years of age.
They found among the exec
utives fewer with high blood
pressure, fewer with harden
ing of the arteries and fewer
with heart attacks. Just why
this should be, the - authors
could not say. Perhaps the
executives do their work with
the least tension or fatigue
or worry.
In Dr. Gofman's book on
heart attacks (Putnam), he
has laborers almost at the
bottom of the list showing
the incidence of heart attacks
according to occupation. At
the top of his list he has work
ers with computing machines.
I often am impressed that
my father, who until he was
84 lived the hardest type of
life as a general practitioner,
was found at autopsy to have
the soft arteries of a child.
Evidently hard work is not
essential to the causation of
arteriosclerosis.
A New Anti-Depressant
Most encouraging is the re
port at the recent meeting of
the American Chemical So
ciety of a new anti-depressant
drug which sounds very hope
ful. Its code name is J. B. 516.
It was described by Drs. J.H.
Biel and Alexander Drukker
of Milwaukee. A drug, that
could lift people out of a
psychotic depression would be
of tremendous value to man
kind.

The Family Council
Editor's note: The Family CnnncJ consists ot a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers
Each article is a summary of an actual report The Family Council does
not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt
with by responsible agencies and counselor.
Mary S. -1 am 19 and have
been married two years. I
have two babies - one by my
husband and the other born
out of wedlock just before I
met my husband. '
I didn't hide anything about
my past when I got married.
My husband knew about the
baby and said he would be a
father to her. But now that we
are married he seems to re
sent this child. He shows fav
oritism toward his own son
and constantly blames me for
spending time with my daugh
ter. Tom wants me to give my
daughter out for adoption. But
I hate to do that because I
love the baby and was brought
up by foster parents myself. I
always felt that parents
should bring up their own
children, even if it's hard.
.
Tom S. - It's true that I said
that I'd be a father to Mary's
baby, but I couldn't tell then
how I'd feel and she'd act. I
can't help feeling more for my
own son than for the girl.
Mary watches me all the time
and if she sees that I hold the
boy for maybe one more sec
ond than the girl, she'll come
down on me like a ton of
bricks.
We have been having a lot
of fights about this and the
little girl is getting old enough
to understand. It will be worse
for her when she gets older.
I do have some affection for
the little girl and I am just as
concerned about her future as
Mary is. What is the 'use of
keeping her if we can't make
her happy? Mary should make
a sacrifice for her sake.
The Council: From both
Mary's and Tom's statement,
we gather that Mary's real
problem is with herself, rather
than her child.
Tom claims affection and
concern for this child. The
mere fact that he was at one
time willing to undertake the
responsibility to bring her up
indicates that his feelings are

I in the right place. The child
must have grown on him dur
ing the period he has lived
with her.
It is possible, however, that
his sudden strong feelings
toward his son took him by
surprise. Possibly he would
not have thought of measuring
his feeling for one child
against the other if Mary
hadn't forced this on his atten
tion. Later he may have be
come annoyed at having his
feelings watched so closely by
his wife and finally come to
the conclusion that the little
girl was a bothersome factor
in their home life.
We'll hazard a guess that
Mary identifies herself with
her little daughter. Probably
she saw herself as a stranger
and unwanted in the foster
home where she was brought
up. In her pity for herself, she
seeks reassurance of love for
her little girl. She sees her as
a half-unwanted child.
It is very unlikely that
Mary or Tom could be happy
if they parted with this child.
If any adoption takes place
Tom should adopt the little
girl. This will be reassurance
to Mary that he sincerely
wants the child. As long as he
shows her normal fatherly at
tention, Mary should try to
avoid making comparisons.
When she does this, she is
only forcing the little girl to
feel deprived of love.
