Vitamin P Believed Simple Answer To the 'Little Stroke1 By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - tUPD - If the "little stroke" is due to minute leakages in the smallest blood vessels of the brain - and if vitamin P is a substance with which the body repairs this "fragili- ty" in the ' smallest blood vessels - then Deios smith easy and sim ple answer to the "little stroke." Dr. Ben E. McConnell, of the Bio-Research Institute of Florida Southern College, Lakeland, contends that both propositions are true and has so reported to the American Geriatrics Society. He feels he has demonstrated it in 89 per sons who had had one to four "little strokes." These 89 were treated daily with pills made up of vitamin P combined with ascorbic acid (which is vitamin C) -and for long periods of time. Only three of the 89 had another "little stroke" and there were no deaths among them. McConnell compared these with 62 other persons who had experienced a "little stroke." Their medications did not In clude vitamin P. Among these 62, there were 18 cases of severe stroke, with five fa talities, and 12 more "little strokes." Leads to Serious Trouble It was his contention the "little stroke" often leads to the "big stroke" which if not fatal produces permanent paralysis of some degree. Some authorities believe the "little stroke" is due to a passing spasm in blood vessels of the brain, he said, and add ed that in his opinion medical science has "proved beyond doubt" this is not so. The cause, he said, was "minute hemorrhages from small blood vessels - arterioles and capillaries." Vitamin P is the name given to a group of water soluble compounds, the bio flavonoids, which are abun dant in the peel of citrus fruits. A number of medical scientists have contended for some time that they are po tent "anli - fragility factors" for blood vessels. Other medi cal scientists have stated this proposition has not been proved. Blockage Nullifies Effect McConnell said the cause of "stroke" governed whether or not vitamin P (combir.ed with ascorbic acid) could or could not prevent a repetition. Lucky Find dv$&7 7399 If the stroke is due to a block age in a brain blood vessel, it would be of no use. The brain is a veritable net work of tiny blood vessels, he said, and "this emphasizes the vital role which the cerebral capillaries play in restoration of the collateral circulation of injured tissue." Post - mortem examinations have shown that blockages are "relatively rare phenomena in little strokes, and that capil- lary bleeding is the true and most frequent cause of this condition." Therefore, if any "repairing of these structural defects" is possible, it's the thing to do. Of course, if the brain hem orrhage is large, there is "little chance to save the pa tient." McConnell recalled the death of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, and said FDR had six "little strokes" over eight years before he had the big one. Mrs. Claudia G.-My aunt suffered two losses and can't snap out of her mourning. Mrs. Mathilda R.-lt s easy to talk. Claudia has her fam- ly and can't understand. Claudia G.-It's awful to look on and watch a beautiful talented woman let herself go to pot. Aunt Mattie is an excellent pianist, a whiz at chess, and one of the few women who understands bookbinding - a hobby she picked up from her late hus band. But for half a year, now, she has sat looking at old letters, old pictures, old souvenirs, as though she can turn back time and bring back the two she loved most, and lost within the same year. Her sister was among the victims in a plane crash about a year ago. She was just pull ing herself together from that, when Uncle Leo died several months later. (He was my fa ther s brother.) They had no children and, since they were both such alert and "hep" relatives, I've always been close to them. But now I can't get through to my aunt. Nor can her doc tor or pastor. She says her usefulness is over, takes no interest in her health or ap pearance. The doctor warns that her depression may lead to physical symptoms. He wants her to get some psyco- therapy at the counseling cen ter in the university here However, she refuses to go. Mathilda R.-Claudia means well, but how can she know what I'm going through? She has a loving husband who's home each evening, and houseful of beautiful children to keep her busy and happy My husband and I were every thing to each other for 40 years, like one person inside two bodies. i naa nis wonacrtul com fort and support last year when my dear baby sister, Lily, was snatched away in that terrible airplane tragedy. He helped me accept that cruel diow and i realized, more than ever, how much I needed him at my side. Then to lose him, and after a minor opera tion, all so suddenly! That was the last straw for me. There's nothing but the past for me to cling to now. My ears and brains listen to Claudia, but my heart doesn't. And I can't put my heart into a new life, until I find an answer, an explanation for what happened to the old life that was so perfect. The Council: If Mrs. R. were really "one with her late husband, why isn't she working harder than ever now, trying to do the work of both? The highest honor one can pay a departed loved one is to try to replace him, to use one s energies to carry on in his behalf and in his name. Mrs. R.'s husband and sister would not be proud of her capitulation to despair. An end to self-pity and inward ness! An end to the waste of strength, health, and talent in a useless cauldron of bitterness! Claudia's dismay is timely and justified. Her pep-talks, however, may have to be rein forced by professional coun seling to catapult Aunt Mattie out of the deep blue funk she's caught in.

Berkeley, Calif.-IUPII-For the past month, says Sarah Gray son, "I've dreamed every night of being murdered." The 20-year-old University of California coed told United Press International that she had learned during a Christ mas visit to her parents in Mississippi of a plot against her life. Was Key Witness Tuesday, in Meridian, Miss., former college student Jon Mattox, 21, was indicted on charges of trying to hire jailmates to kill Miss Gray son. The coed was the key witness whose testimony helped convict Mattox of murder. The attractive brunette said she had been informed thafi authorities had intercepted a Christmas card containing in structions on how she was to be killed. She said the killers were to go to her door and shoot her three times. She said that when she heard this she was struck "as if by a thunder bolt" because Mattox had once told her that "If you didn't kill something three times you can't be sure it's dead." Miss Grayson said Mattox wanted "to get me out of the way" so she could not testify against him in a new trial in case the Mississippi Supreme Court reverses his conviction and life sentence. Pistol in Drawer She said that since she had returned to Berkeley from Mississippi she had kept a pis tol in her drawer. Since learning of the al leged plot, she said, "I've dreamed every night of being murdered." Her weakness brought on the flu, and she spent two weeks in bed. Miss Grayson said she never went out alone at night, and inspected every visitor by peeking through the blinds. 12-20:40 try irr;v'fflt to change her lament of, "Look what's happened to I me!" into an offer of, "Look what I can still do for you, Claudia, and for old and new friends!" No one claims, Mrs. R., that life can ever be the same. May- be you'll never be your "old sen, Decause wui sen aiea with Leo, you feel. But life can certainly be worthwhile, and your new self can become a beautiful legacy bequeathed to the world by your inspir ing deceased. Keep busy. It's the busiest who bear up best under mis fortune. Welcome old friends, seek new ones. There are jobs at home and abroad to tire you physically and stimulate you mentally. As far as your dead are concerned, take comfort from the words of Walter C. Brown in a recent short story: "No body really dies as long as they're held fast in someone's memory. Only the forgotten are really dead." In this sense, your husband and sister are alive. Meanwhile, heed Claudia and your doctor. Make the most of today. Use it to start a new life, in tribute to those you love who have no such priceless opportunity. TO PARTICIPATE Salem - IUPII - Five Oregon Army National Guard officers were scheduled to arrive at Ft. Richardson, Alaska, Tues day to participate in the Army's Exercise Willow Freeze Feb. 9-18. Identity Cards For Liquor OK'd Salem -iUPI- A bill to do away with individual liquor purchase permits in Oregon, iujiu.iiig uit'iii Willi luuimii-1 cation cards for persons 21 to 25 years old, has won uniini mous approval from the Sen ate Alcoholic Control commit tee. The identification cards, bearing pictures, would be re quired to prevent liquor sales to juveniles. They would also be available to persons over 25 who wanted them. The cards would be issued free. Loss to the state from the present SL permit fees would amount to about $310,000 an nually, now split between cities and the state's general fund.- Witnesses predicted the loss would be more than made up through increased liquor sales to tourists over 25, and through a decrease in juvenile enforcemenl problems. The change was proposed by the Oregon Liquor Control commission, .who would issue the new cards.
