(UPI Telepholo) Fad Diets Could Give Bad Effects Doctor Stresses Philadelphia (Science Serv ice) - Harmful affects of liquid formula diets and of self-dosing with vitamins A and D were stressed here by Dr. Stanley A. Tauber, Al bert Einstein Medical center. Tauber also cautioned against acceptance of statis tics supporting the low-cho-lestcrol, or fat-free diets, or those high in unsaturated fats sometimes recommended in treatment of hypertension or arteriosclerosis. Long-range effects that such major changes in diet might have on the body's me tabolism should be considered by physicians, he told the American College of Gastro enterology meeting here. Defeat Aim Such unrealistic dietary practices as limiting water or salt intake purely . for the purpose of reducing weight in an otherwise healthy per son defeat the most important aim of nutritional therapy, he warned. "It is unlikely," he said, "that a patient who loses weight on a liquid diet will then . . . suddenly and mi raculously begin to eat a nor mal, wholesome, well - bal anced diet and maintain the weight loss." Harmful Effects Tauber said the patient may suffer harmful effects of re peated alternating gains and losses of weight from going on and off the liquid diet. Even though the purely liq uid formula may be nutri tionally adequate, doctors should not condone these fad diets, he warned.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1960 PAGES I to 8 Sudden Deafness Halted by Prompt Therapy by Drugs Philadelphia (Science Serv ice) - If you suddenly go deaf, make a beeline for the ear doctor's office. The faster you get there, the better your chances for having your hear ing restored. Delaying more than six weeks may mean losing your hearing in the affected ear. Dr. Woodrow D. Schlosser, consultant to the Pennsylva- Wooden Nickels Taken by Curator New York - (UPB - If you want to gel rid of any wooden nickels take them to Vernon L. Brown, curator of the Chase Manhattan Bank's Mu seum of Moneys of the World. Brown's collection of more than 75,000 specimens of cur rency includes three - dollar bills, an obsolete U. S. two cent piece, a 100-quintillion pengo note issued by Hun gary in 1946, which inflation reduced to about a half-cent, and "tobacco" money. "Tobacco" money is in the form of twist tobacco in sticks which are still medium of exchange in the Solomon islands. excessive quantities of any particular vitamin, there are individual vitamins such as A and D on the market in capsules of 50,000 units or more. Both these vitamins, he said, can produce toxic effects if taken without med ical supervision in large enough doses over a long period of time. Convenient Credit Terms Cffj mu 5-8771 ) nia Academy of Ophthalmolo gy and Otolaryngology here, has found that hearing can be restored to 50 per cent of sudden deafness cases by the use of drugs if the patient seeks help in the first six weeks. The1 treatment is simple. In most instances, treatment is based upon the assumption that a blood vessel leading to the inner ear has become spastic. Histamine, which di lates capillaries, is given in travenously for three days and then by oral dosage for six to 12 weeks, depending upon progress. Another vaso dilator, nicotinic acid, has also been used. Because the vascular spasms are believed related to lack of function of the autonomic nervous sys tem, drugs of the belladonna family, which includes anti spasmodics and painkillers, have been used. More recent ly, heparin has come into the picture. More Women Most cases of sudden deaf ness (75 per cent) occur in persons over 40 years old, more commonly in women than in men. Ringing in the ears precedes sudden deafness in 85 per cent of the cases, while dizziness occurs in one third of the patients. Dr. Schlosser said that the cause of this malady is not fully known, but. several agents are suspected. These include hemorrhages to the inner ear, thrombosis, and such, viral infections as sub clinical- mumps. Also includ ed are fatigue, emotional up sets, allergies, endocrine lm- balance and generalized stress. Tests showed that the hear ing loss is due to sensori- neural impairment rather than to a middle ear lesion. Landscape Design Study Course Set At Oregon State Corvallis - Profess i o n a I landscape architects will serve as teachers in a landscape de sign study course to be held at Oregon State college Jan. 12 to 14. The course is aimed at train ing people who can help cre ate and maintain more attrac tive and useful parks, road sides, schools, homes, and civic developments over the state. It will be open to garden club members, nurserymen, city planners, members of park boards, landscape archi tects, and others interested in "providing beautiful and func tional homes and communi ties," according to Donald J. Martel, head of the OSC de partment of landscape archi tecture. Fee for the course will be $10. This will be the second in a series of four landscape design study courses being sponsored in the Pacific Northwest by the Oregon Federation of Gar den clubs in cooperation with the OSC cooperative extension service and department of landscape architecture. Since it is an independent unit, the second course can be taken even thought the first course was missed, Martel said. Serve as Teachers Professional landscape ar chitects serving as teachers will include Mark Astrup, deputy state parks superin tendent, Salem; Lloyd M. Bond, Eugene; Eunice C. Brandt, Salem; and Daryl B. May, Portland. Marion Dean Ross, profes sor of architecture and archi tectural history at the Univer sity of Oregon; and George N. Fredeen, Thomas E. Rickard, and Martel from the OSC landscape department, will be the other faculty members for the course. Those attending will study I tnc intluence of changing art forms on landscape architec ture, history of landscape ar chitecture, development of planting plans, site prepara tion, and use of paved areas, water, buildings, and trees in landscape designs. Place of garden clubs in civic projects will also be discussed. Enrollment forms and more information about the course, can be obtained from local garden clubs or county exten sion offices.
