Rockefeller said today he would fight to assure that the GOP platform of 19B4 would oppose 'any federal "right-to-work" law and that the Repub lican party's candidate, "who ever he may be, shall live by this commitment."

Medical Roundup By - V Emeritus Consultant In Medicine ... Mm clinic . Zmeritns Professor of Jledlclna jtiayo clinic Brjlstr and Tribune Syndicate 1363). Person Who "Feels Awful" To me, one of. the saddest fea tures about modern medical practice is that when, as often happens, a person gets to feel ing awful, with aches and pains all over, we doctors are inclined for a while to try the effect ef shots of this and that. When they do not help, and the pa tient demands a complete . ex amination, we send him to a hospital. After this, if the X-ray man finds, let us say, a silent and harmless gallstone, or a silent diaphragmatic hernia, or some symptomless colonic diverticula (little pouches that come like gray hah" after the age oC 40), the patient runs the chance of being operated on and the chances are against his being any better for the operation. Usually Depressed What ' is ' really wrong ' with many a person who feels miser able is that he is depressed, usually as, was some forebear. It is unfortunate that rarely docs such a depressed person, on coming into a doctor's office, say, "l am suffering irom a spell of melancholia, such as I had in my senior year at cot- lege." No, he complains about such tilings as abdominal pain or feelings' of great toxicity or of great fatigue or a growing inability to sleep. How I wish every ' physician could read and re-read an ar ticle written by a psychiatrist or Spokane,' Wash., Dr. Sol Levy. I always enjoy what he has to say., A while ago, he said that the diagnosis most com monly missed in America today is that .of. a depression. .Often 1 am asked, "How did it happen that some 15 years ago you, who for 35 years had been an expert on digestive and ab dominal diseases, took to writ ing books -and artloles- on psy chic and mental troubles? My answer is that I could not help it.- So large a percentage of the patients who came to see me at the Mayo Clinic com plaining or indigestion,' abdomi nal pain, headache or a duo denal ulcer, turned out to be worried, unhappy, depressed or in some way mentally disturb ed that I just had to study psy chiatry. There are not enough psychiatrists available to han dle a tenth of the people who need their help, Same Experience Dr. T. A. Ross until he died the most distinguished psychia trist in Great Britain told me that he had had the same cx nerience 1 have' hnH: When in (lis early years of general prac tice he found that pcrhans a third of his patients needed help with mental problems, ho went the whole way and specialized in this field of work. He said he was glad that he had had no indoctrination in Freudiiuiism he eventually obtained all of his great knowledge of psychiatry simply By .listening to .the star ies told him by thousands of mentally troubled patients, In Dt Levy's article) he says that in the cases of patients with depression, a common symptom -is an occasional- spell of fast pulse with a feeling of "air hunger," of weakness and of a great - fear t( impending death. Also they may have se vere headache, ringing or roar ing in the ears, indigestion, ab dominal bloating, constipation, and in women, menstrual dis comforts, pains in the abdomen, itchiness, numbness or burning sensations. Insomia may be so severe as to be almost uncontrollable Typical Is an early morning fatigue that wears off during the day; also the loss of all in terest in life, and all interest in sex. Sometimes the person will say that God has turned away from him. A woman may lose an interest in nome, husband children and friends. She may indulge in what she calls crying jags. Most depressed persons think of committing suicide. Many fee! oppressed with a sense of sin. What is often high ly significant is that a deep de pression came when the person had nothing to worry about or be' sad about. Later, when per haps a much loved child died, there was no depression. Elcctroshock Treatment In the old days, it often took four or five years for a depres sed person to recover. Psy chotherapy was largely useless and a waste ot time. Then came the elcctroshock type of treat ment,' which as Dr. Levy says, is still the best available. It rarely does any harm. There are a number of antidepres sant drugs which can be tried at least for a few weeks. One. of them may help enouch so that electroshocks will not be needed. Fortunately, even without any treatment, spells of depression tend to clear away. Persons who would like to learn more about them can read a chapter in my oook, Minds mat tame Back stracts of t h e autobiographies This volume is made up of ab of 75 people who were once men tally or nervously troubled. Many people who go to a doc tor thinking they are sick arc simply suffering from nervous ness.
