Dowl i n g, L. W. Akers, R. L. M u 1 d o o n, Anne Van d y k e, and Gloria C. Johnson, of Chicago and Urbana, re ported their Aivice finding in the blood of men and women, an tibodies against a virus that had produced a cold. The longest period of im munity was 44 weeks. As many of us know, we can get a new cold sometimes within 3 months after a bad one; which shows that usually the period of immunity after a cold is not long. This discour ages the efforts of men who would like to make a vaccine against the colds that are due to special tiny viruses. Another fact which discour ages the workers in this very difficult field of virology is that there are perhaps 25 dif ferent viruses that can cause what looks like a common cold; and in a given city the prevailing virus can keep changing all the time. Hopeful is the recent dis covery that blook serum col lected from persons 6 and 12 months after a cold provided nearly complete protection against the infectious secre tion taken from the nose of a person with a cold. After 24 months, this protective ability of the serum fell off sharply. I am sorry to say that as yet I have not heard of any good vaccine against the virus of the common cold. Cigarette Smoking, Coronary Heart Diseait I think most physicians throughout the world now have accepted the results of some 18 or 20 statistical stud ies which indicate strongly that anyone who smokes from two to three packages of cig arettes a day is much more likely than a non-smoker to get a cancer of the lung. Back in the 30 s my good friend. Dr. Raymond Pearl per haps the greatest medical sta tistician of his lime show ed, that, as compared with non-smokers, heavy smokers died off earlier from a num ber of causes. There could be no argument about that, be cause some 20 or 30 per cent of the heavy smokers in Pearl's group were gone. Of late there has been con siderable suspicion that the smoking of cigarettes can make the person more sus ceptible to the coming of an attack of coronary heart dis ease. Now appears the report Sleep Like Log stwsmiatiiiTMiriit Tilt Itii.m trtlrti "" , liMitl rtlim ' " """ 35. t ni' "" J" " of a study made by Drs. J. T. Doyle, T. R. Dawber, W. B. Kannell, A. Sandra Heslin, M. S., and H. A. Kahn, M. A. They base their report on ob servations of 4120 men who at the beginning of the study were free from coronary heart disease. They were studied in two communities. The men in one group varied in age from 39 to 60 years and their course was followed for eight years. Some of them smoked cigars or pipes. They were divided into those former smokers who had given up the "weed" those who smoked cigars or a pipe; those who smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day, and those who smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day. The heavy cigarette smok ers experienced a three-fold incidence of heart attacks, and their mortality rate from all causes was higher than that of the non-smokers, or of the smokers of pipes and cigars, or of the men who had once smoked cigarettes but later quit. Cigarette smoking had a tendency to produce severe pain in the chest with effort. Cheering is the fact that the once heavy smokers who mended their ways lost their decided tendency to heart at tacks. Mental Illness Common According to a report re cently published by McGraw Hill (see JAMA April 14, 1962), a study made by Leo Srole, Ph. D T. S. Langner, Ph. D M. K. Opler, Ph. D. and T. A. C.
