The instru ments in the doctor'j little black bag today are the same instruments that ware carried there 25 and 50 years ago, said Dr. John H. Heller, di rector of the New England Institute for Medical Re search, Ridgefield, Conn. Our scientific technology has improved vastly, yet few of the newer tools have been incorporated into the practice of medicine, he asserts. Doc tors still pinch and punch pa tients to determine hollow ness of the chest. Would Remove Guest Instruments are available - today, or can readily be made, that would streamline the medical tool box and remove much of the guess work that is now necessary. Dr. Heller said most medi cal advances have occurred through "fortuitous happen stance." Even today one of the world's oldest and most commonly used drugs, aspi rin, is still little understood by scientists. No one knows just what aspirin does to the body, yet the beneficial as pects of this substance are common knowledge. "Imagine what could be ac complished if we knew what we were doing," Dr. Heller said at a recent meeting of the second annual conceptual symposium of the Atomedic Research Center here. Ways for Information There are two methods by which men can gain medical information. One consists of simply stumbling upon some thing, such as tranquilizers, which were originally design ed for the purpose of relaxing muscles. It was accidentally observed that the drugs also had tranquilizing effects upon the patient. Today scientists do not yet understand just why tranquilizers tranquilize, Dr. Heller stressed. The other- method of obtain ing medical information is, of course, to look for it, he con tinued. Tftis consists of more basic research into the whys and wherefores of the human body's component living cells and molecules. Dr. Heller ex pressed the belief that only " when man understands tho molecular structure of body cells and the particular role each molecule plays will doc tors be able to begin to under stand such diseases as arthri tis, cancer, heart disease and others, and be able to prevent them from occurring. 4-H Club News Teena Paige Sewing Club The Teena Paige 4-H Sew ing club met at Mrs. Ashton's home Monday, March 23.
