' SASSIH" YA ! 1 WAS JUST PUTTIN'YA STRAIGHT!' The, Medical Roundup By Xmerltug consultant in Medicine 'Mayo clinic Xmerltuf Professor of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate. J003). Penicillin Can Do Harm T do hope thai the day will soon come when people who have a trace of fever or a few sniffles will not expect their doc tor to inject a big dose of peni cillin into them. I also look for ward to the day when every doc tor, before injecting a full dose of penicillin, will check with a tiny dose to see if the patient is highly sensitive to the drug. Better yet, the day may come when die drug will almost al ways be given by mouth. This is said by experts to work just as well as does injecting it into the muscles, and giving it by mouth greatly reduces the dan ger of getting a severe or even fatal reaction. Experts tell us that today probably nine in 10 injections of penicillin were hardly necessary, because the patient almost certainly could have recovered easily without the medicine. I recently read that the Food and Drug Administration ex perts in Washington have now demanded that some 200 patent preparations, designed mainly lor me treatment of colds, and most of them containing peni cillin, be taken off the market. As the government physicians said, and all well-educated phy sicians know, penicillin does not affect the viruses that produce colds. Three Excuses I imagine we doctors have some three excuses for giving penicillin for colds; one is that it is the custom; another is that people expect it and would feci neglected if they did not get it; and another is that if the patient should go ahead and get a pneu monia, the drug might help him. But if the cause of his pneu monia should happen to be a virus, the penicillin would not help. One of the sad things about giving penicillin to everybody for every little cold is that as a result, a large number of very dangerous pus-producing germs, called penicillin-resistant sta phylococci, have developed, es pecially in hospitals. When they get into a hospital operating room or obstetric department, they can cause trouble, because penicillin has no effect on them. When I get a cold it never occurs to me to take penicillin. As I always say, I would prefer to remain insensitive to the drug so that someday, if I get a pneumonia, my doctor can give me large doses of it with out running the risk of killing or nearly killing me. I wish people who love to be injected with penicillin could read some of the letters that people are sending me. For in stance, here is a letter from a man, a business executive, who says that one night he had a little sore throat and a little stuffiness in his nose. He didn't want to do any thing, but his wife was anxious, and so she insisted that the doctor come. He gave the man a big injection of penicillin. Un fortunately, the patient was highly sensitive to the drug, and as a result he nearly died. His skin broke out all over his body with welts as big as silver dol lars. He itched terribly, he had a high fever, he was toxic and he might have gone on to get one of the very serious so-called collagen diseases perhaps a serious inflammation of one of his arteries. Fortunately, after a couple of weeks of strenuous treatment in a hospital, he recovered. Here iS a lnttitr rn. .nnHi.i. man who had a similar experi ence, but was less fortunate; he begs me to write this column protesting against (he indiscrim inate injection of people with penicillin, esneeiallv wilhnul preliminary testing for sensi tiveness. Itohbcd of Livelihood He says. "One iniection of the drug has ruined my life; it has robbed me of mv liveli- hood; it has robbed me of my sleep; it has condemned me to torment by day and by night; ii nas reduced me to poverty. . . . 1, wno was formerly so ! social, now have to stay in my room alone because my skin j from my head to my feet is cov-, cred with red blotches which I itch so terribly that I cannot stop to talk to people. At times t feel as if I had been immersed in gasoline and had had the stuff ignited. It tortures me just to sit, or to lie down, or some times even to stand. This condi tion has been present now for nearly four years. Everything doctors have tried on me so far to relieve my suffering has done no good." Recently I read that in this country, every year, many peo ple die of severe reactions to a big shot of penicillin, which was not needed to save the man's lite. Mysterious head noises can drive you to distraction. Dr. Al varez tells you what to do about them in his booklet, "Head Noises and Dizziness."

WHAT THE TAX BILL MEANS TO YOU-1X (9th In a series of 10 columns.) "Income averaging" would become a brand new tax break for us next year if the 1963 tax bill is passed. While this new type of benefit was originally intended to ...j, jiiuicaoiui.ai auueies, entertainers, writers and others who have sharply fluctuating incomes, the provision in the 1963 tax bill also would give the same break to businessmen, pro fessional men and employes. It could save taxes for vnu. wriBthnr unn o i. . . a pai inci in a business enterprise, an individual proprietor or a cor poration executive. It would work for you, whether your in come is from salaries, commissions, hnmispx sals nt nnh... dise or dividends. More specifically, it could save taxes for you if vou are an employe In line for a big bonus next year; or if you are a commission salesman who hits the sales jackpot next year; or If you are a lawyer who receives the biggest fee of his career next year. Here is why Income averaging would help so many taxpayers. Our Income tax rates are applied under a so called "progressive" bracket system meaning that while urn uoinr amouni oi income in eacn may be precisely the same, the rate of tax goes up with each bracket. For instance, under our present rates a married man filing a joint return pays 20 per cent on the first $4,000 of taxable income and 22 per cent on the next $4,000. If he had the $4,000 in each of two years, his total tax would be $1,600. But if he had the entire $8,000 of taxable income in one year and no income in the other, his tax would be $1,680. It would cost him $80 more on the same amount of income just because the money is piled into one year instead of being spread oyer two. Also, this extra tax for piling up gets progressively bigger as the income gets bigger. The Income averaging provisions in the 1963 tax bill would cut down the extra tax when income is pyramided into one year by treating the unusually large amount as if it were received over five years. The Research Institute of America gives the following brief summary of how you would use this provision in 1964 if the 1963 tax bill becomes law: (1) Check your average taxable income for the year 1960-63. Say this comes to $6,000. (2) Multiply your average by 113 13 per cent. The result on the example comes to $8,000. (3) Now check your taxable income for 1964. If the total doesn't exceed the figure you reached in step 2 by more than $3,000, you would not qualify for relief. But, say because of a sudden bononza, your 1964 income is $20,000. Since this ex ceeds $8,000 by $12,000, you would be entitled to income averaging relief on the $12,000. (4) Instead of computing your tax on the $20,000 received In the one year, you would compute your tax as though you had received $12,000 of your $20,000 1964 income over five years. With the help of this averaging provision you would pay only $4,300 in 1964 instead of the $4,720 tax you would pay under the 1963 tax bill without averaging. You would save $420 by averaging, in addition to what you would save because of the lower 1954 tax rates. This new tax break Is contained in a highly complex clause In the 1963 tax bill and the reasonably simple job of averaging Income would become even more complicated If you have capital gains or income from inherited property or you receive property is a gift. In fact, the already overburdened accountant is going to be overloaded more at tax time If this provision becomes law. To make sure that his client doesn't miss out on the possible tax advantage of income averaging, the accountant will have to compare his client's current income with his average of the past four years, and probably he'll have to make some exceedingly complicated computations. Despite the complications, the income averaging break makes It important generally for you to try to defer into 1964 any unusually big bonuses, fees, commissions, etc., which you otherwise would expect to receive between now and the end of 1963.
