Immunity To Common Cold
In a recent communication
In the New England Journal
of Medicine, Drs. G. G. Jack
son, F. 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 ' " """

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. Rennie, M. D.,

20 per cent of the residents
in Midlown Manhattan have
severe or incapacitating men
tal illness. Some 60 per cent
have symptoms denoting vary

average session of two hours
each.
There was little difference
between the mental health of
married men and women.
Among single people, bachel
ors have a higher rate of trou
ble than have single women.
Divorced persons of both sex
have the highest percentage
of people who onco were men

of a low-income family more
often have impaired mental
health.

Advertising helped it happen
By stimulating mass demand, advertising helped create a
mass market for electric lipht bulbs. Aj demand grew,
' "tore and more were made. The more of them made, the
less each one cost Result: new and better electric light
bulbs mass produced for more people at lower prices by
America's remarkable and competitive economic system.
Is this worthwhile? Then, so is advertising worthwhile.
