Histaminic Headaches
I feel very sympathetic
with those persons who write
to say they have the terrible
histaminic head pains which
were aescriD
ed years ago
by Dr. Bayard
Ho r t o n , of
Roches ter,
Minn. In this
rare disease,
i 1- I I .. U
tHF is extremely
amif I severe, ana
for perhaps a
.itvart'z lew in u ii i ii &
it will wake the patient
around 4 a.m. and will
keep iiim walking the floor
for an hour or two. Then it
will go away. Usually it will
return at the same time the
next morning, and again it
will last for an hour or two.
The headaches may keep com
ing in this way for two or
three months, and then they
may quit, and leave the per
son alone for a while.
Often there is a flow of
tears and a blockage of the
nostril on the affected side.
Most of the patients are men
who usually seem strong and
well. Often the person has no
idea why a long spell of head
aches cauie or why the spell
suddenly came to an end. No
amount of examining by doc
tors will throw any light on
the problem - except for one
or two facts: a hypodermic
injection of histamine is like
ly to throw the person into a
headache. This does not prove
that the headache is of hista
minic origin because an in
jection of the drug can stir
up other types of headache.
During a spell, no medicine
that I know of can be count
ed on to give relief, but some
physicians have given relief
with an inhalation of pure
oxygen, or with an injection
of the ergotamine that usual
ly relieves a migrainous spell.
Some physicians are now
trying the new drug that
sometimes stops migraines
from coming. I have seen a
number of the patients with
Horton headaches who seem'
ed to have a migrainous com
ponent in the production of
their pain. Experiments have
shown that the headache has
something to do with the fifth
nerve that supplies the face
with sensation; also with the
internal' carotid artery which
has much to do with supply'
ing the brain with blood.
Dr. Horton, who for years
treated hundreds of patients
with this rare disease, relied
mainly on "desensitization to
histamine. In order to ef
fect this, he gave the person
each day a tiny dose of hista
mine - a dose which was grad
ually increased until the per
son was able to tolerate a con
siderable amount of the drug.
Then perhaps three in four
of the patients were relieved
of their headaches. Sometimes
with this the person seemed
to be cured; in other cases he
remained well for a year or
two, and then had to take
another course of treatment.
Br H. D. QUIGG
UPI Correspondent
"As - salaam - alaimum"
(Peace be unto you) says the
gifted speaker on the stand.
And the faithful gathered be
low respond: 'Wa-alaikum sa
laam" (And unto you be
peace).
"The message of God to the
honorable Elijah Muhammad
was: 'Complete and immedi
ate separation of the slave
master and his slave,' " the
speaker tells them. No mixing.
And as a separate Negro state.
The Elijah Is a Georgia-
born Negro, now in his mid-
60s, who leads a membership
of American Negroes that
competent observers estimate
at more than 100,000. They
are law-abiding to the last let
ter, clean, debt-paying, non
smoking, non-drinking, non
narcotics, .non-gambling, and
bitterly non-white man.
Elijah Muhammad, born
Elijah Poole, has as one of his
titles "Messenger of Allah"
to the "Lost-Found Nation of
Islam in North America."
That last is the official name
of the movement most often
called Black Muslims. In their
more than 80 temples the
white man is known as "the
devil" or, as Malcolm X, Eli
jah's chief lieutenant says the
Koran calls him: "the guilty
blue-eyes."
They and their leaders con
sider themselves to be mem
bers of the great international
religion Islam, whose follow
ers are called Muslims (or
Moslems), whose prophet was
Muhammad (or Mohammed)
and whose holy book is the
Quran (or Koran). The Black
Muslims pray five times a
day, facing Mecca, the holy
city. The orthodox Muslims in
America have rejected the
Black Muslims.
The Black Muslims are mo
rally straight, keep down ju.
venile delinquency in their
families by exemplary con
duct at home, and try to im
prove the community around
them, clean it up as they do
their persons.
They abjure Christianity
and make light of it . Al
though they scorn non-vio
lence, they are told to be
peaceful unless attacked.
When the battle of Armaged
don comes, in 1970 or 1972,
it is rather vague (as as true
of much about the Black Mus
lims) just what they 11 do.
Prtdict Black Dominance
One version is that white
rule in the United States will
be overthrown. Another is
that the white nations would
destroy each other, leaving
the black nations in charge
("Blacks" mean, to the move
ment, all skin colors, brown,
yellow, red, chocolate - ex
cept white - of the African,
Asian, Middle Eastern, and
American areas.)
Malcolm X can get up in
public mass meetings on the
street and say things like:
"We rejoice when the white
man dies." Yet he testified in
federal court in Buffalo, N.Y.,
that the Negro Muslims are
not a hate organization: "Eli
jah Muhammed never taught
us to hate anybody.' '
One source guesses Black
Muslim membership in Chi
cago at 20,000, in New York
at 15,000 and names Detroit,
Los Angeles and St. Louis as
other main centers, although
perhaps 100 cities are involv
ed.

MEMBER BY INVITATION
In his recent book "The Ne
gro Revolt," Negro author
Louis E. Lomax says of the
Black Muslims:
"Their withdrawal from
America is almost complete.
They speak of themselves as
a 'nation,' indicating that
they are not of the American
body politic; they do not vote
nor do they participate in po
litical affairs. The Muslim wo
men keep their heads covered
at all times; they wear the
long, flowing, white skirts
one associates with Islam.
They have their own stores,
supermarkets, barbershops,
department stores and fish
markets . . .
"In essence, Muhamad is
saying this: God and Black
are one, therefore all blacks
are divine; the opposite of
black is evil, therefore all
white men are evil."

Chamber Gels
Letters About
Living Conditions
More than 700 letters re
questing information on liv
ing conditions in Medford
have come to the chamber of
fice since January, according
to Don McNeil, manager.
"These top any other cate
gory of letters requesting in
formation on this community
and the Rogue valley," Mc
Neil said.
Letters requesting tourist
information totaled 175 for
the six-month period.
This is a good deal less
than the number of letters we
used to get from tourists in
previous years," he said. This
can be explained by the fact
that our two county cooper
ative advertising program has
provided an easier method of
getting visitor information on
this area than going to the
trouble of writing a letter
Around 2,000 have responded
as a direct result of this new
program."
Letters from school chil
dren totaled 442 during the
period.
There were 50 requests
from persons interested in go
ing into some kind of busi
ness in the area and 155 mis
cellaneous requests of all
kinds, making a grand total
of 1,524 letters requesting
specific information in addi
tion to 2,000 response cards
from tourist prospects seek
ing vacation literature.

Recreation Use
Of Forests Rises
