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.
Although standard multi
vitamin preparations on the
market today do not contain

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.

period of time.

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.
Eligibility for Vets Changed With Election
Approval of the war veter
ans bonding and loan amend
ment by Oregon voters Nov.
8 means certain changes in
veterans' eligibility for loans
and sets deadline dates for
filing applications, Jerry V.
Bianconi. Jackson county vet
erans service officer remind
ed residents.
The deadline for World
War II veterans to apply for
loans for Oregon farms and
homes is Jan. 31, 1980. The

Bianconi said that World
War II veterans to be eligible
for the loans must have serv

the U.S. between Sept. 15,
1940 and Dec. 31, 1946, be

loughcd to a reserve, and
either have been a resident
of Oregon at the time of entry
into service, or was a resident
of the state for at least two
years between the date of his
discharge and Dee. 31, 1950.
Eligibility of Korean emer
gency veterans includes ac
tive duty of not less than 90
days between June 25, 1950,
and Jan. 31, 1955. The other
two requirements are the
same except the veteran must
have been a resident of the
state for at least two years
between the date of his dis
charge and Dec. 31, 1960.
The applicant must be a
resident of Oregon when he
applies for the loan.
