Drinking of Carrot
Juice Said Useless
Form of Therapy

Del" !,mUh tionally.
And it has a very definite
drawlack. Eat enough car
rots or drink enough carrot
juice as a regular thing, and
your skin will turn a carrot
like yellow. The word for it
is, hypercarotenemia, and it
is getting so that when prac
ticing physicans see yellow
skin they say, carrots!
Express Amazement
Dr. Ira A. Abrahamson and
his son Dr. Ira A. Jr., of Cin
cinnati. Ohio, are the newest
to express amazement at the
carrot craze, in a medical sci
ence organ of the American
Medical Association. They are
eye doctors and they were ex
amining a child with crossed
eyes.
The mother watched, hold
ing a nine-months-old baby.
They couldn't help noticing
the babe's yellowish skin, and
one of them asked, how much
carrot juice are you giving
that infant?
A pint a day, the mother re
plied, and she's been getting
it since she was a month old!
Naturally the next medical
question was, what's the idea?
To prevent her second child
from having crossed eyes like
her first, the mother said.
Most Useless Therapy
In one day the Abraham
sons had two animated yel
low skins walk into their of
fice. One was a 74-year-old
woman, and to the opening
question, how much carrot
juice have you been drinking?
&ne replied, one and a half
pints a day for two years.
The other was a 50-year-old
man. He was proud of his
devoted wife. Every day for
a year and a half she had
ground up enough carrots to
make two quarts of juice for
him to drink.
In both cases the idea was
to improve vision. But in
both cases vision had been
impaired by cataracts and it
improved when the cataracts
were removed. Needless to
say, carrots do nothing for
cataracts.
"Although not the most ex
pensive form of therapy,
drinking carrot juice is prob
ably the most useless, and it
should be condemned," the
Abrahamsons remarked. But
they granted it was harmless.
Delays Corrective Meaiures
When people with carrot
yellowed skin abstain from
carrots their skin slowly re
turns to Its normal color. The
Abrahamsons wanted carrot
addiction "condemned" be-
cause it delays the aonlica-
tion of workable corrective
measures to visual defects.
The factual basis for the
superstition that carrots are
eye food'" is that the carrot
is rich in carotene, which is
a pigment manufactured by
a number of plants. The
plants use it to color their
fruits. The tomato is another
vegetable which owes its
color to carotene.
Chemically carotene is sev
eral steps along the path to
ward vitamin A. In human
body chemistry carotene is
pushed the rest of the way
into that vitamin which
among other tasks, maintains
the sharpness of vision. But
happily for the carrot wor
shipers, the conversion rate
is a very slow one and this
prevents vitamin A intoxica
tion and consequent sickness.
Everyone needs vitamin A
in his diet, of course, but the
needed amount is quite small
and it is abundantly present
in most vegetables (and not
only in the carrot and tomato)
and also in milk.

Acquisition Notei
West Visualizes Day His

By DICK WEST
Washington lUPII - The week
ly information bulletin pub
lished by the Library of Con
gress contains a section lab
eled "acquisi

Usually, the
notes impart
the tidings
that some
body or other
has presented
to the library
a collection of
personal pap
ers to have
had and to hold, and to cher
ish forever.
The papers ordinarily con

away, had been accumulat

They are placed on file in
the library, thereby enriching
that institution's storehouse of
trivia while at the same time
providing the donor with a
certain sense of immortality.
I am not certain as to the
procedure used in these ac
quisitions. In other words, I
do not know whether the li
brary calls up someone and
says "May we have your pap
ers?' or whether someone
calls up the library and says
"Would you like to have these
papers?"
My guess is that in some
cases the procedure has
been for the donor to sidle
up to the library under cov
er of darkness, deposit his
papers on the doorstep, and
run.

is a splendid thing to do. I

likewise.
By shutting my eyes real

visualize what my "acquisi

in the information bulletin:
