Hope Can Help a Sick Person
Some time ago I kept receiv
ing letters from people much
interested in the story of the
so-called doctor who fled this
country to avoid being jailed
for having swindled people with
a fake cure for baldness.
All students of quackery know
that a man like this may one
day be swindling bald people;
the next month he may be
swindling people with arthritis,
and next, he may turn to the
most profitable game of all
that of swindling people with
incurable cancer.
No physician was surprised
then on hearing that this man,
on reaching Canada, immedi
ately decided to concoct a
"cure" for arthritis. He took
some powerful male and fe
male hormones, he mixed
them, and started giving hem
to patients. A magazine wrote
an article about him which gave
him the wide publicity he need
ed, and soon people from vari
ous parts of the United States
were jumping on a train or a
plane to go to Canada to get
some of the "wonderful medi
cine." In a few months, in
medical journals, I read re
ports of women who, having
taken the powerful hormones,
began to bleed severely from
tlie womb. One of them died.
Became Comfortable
Then I received a letter from
some good people who told me
that their arthritic mother was
one of the persons who went
to Canada to get the medicine,
and that after taking it, she
was comfortable. I was not sur
prised at this because, as my
able friend, Professor Stewart
Wolf, of the University of Okla
homa, has often shown, when
we physicians try out on a num
ber of our patients a new drug,
about which we are hopeful,
about half of the recipients will
promptly report that they are
better. But Dr. Wolf soon found
that half of these people will
get the same relief if given a
capsule containing only sugar.
The only trouble with the
sugar is that soon the people
say it no longer is working well.
This is why, many years ago,
a wise doctor advised a friend
to take a certain new medicine
quick, "while it was still cur
ing." Whenever I hear of a striking
improvement in the health of
a person with a scattered can
cer who has recently taken a
worthless quack cure I am re
minded of a story I heard when
I was a medical student. It
was supposed to be the true
story of what happened when
a physician received two let
ters fron old patients who, bo'h
of them begged him to "come
out with it," and tell them the
real truth about their situation.
One was an old hypochondri-

ac who was always worrying
about himself, in spite of thei
io" inn, a uuacii laicui ex
aminations had failed to show
anything wrong with him; the
other had an apparently hope
less tuberculosis of his lungs.
The doctor wrote each patient
the truth, but in mailing the
letters, he carelessly sent the
one about hopeless tuberculosis
to the hypochondriac, and the
one about silly worries to the
man with the tuberculosis. As
a result, the man with tuber
culosis felt so "bucked up" he
got out of bed; he went back to
work, and got well; while the
hypochondriac was so appalled
that he took to his bed and died.
It is conceivable that this
could have happened. Certainly,
when I was a boy in Hawaii, my
physician father used to see na
tives who, when told they were
being "prayed to death" by a
witch doctor, just sat down on
a mat, and in ten days or so
were dead.
The other day I received a
letter from an intelligent wom
an with a cancer who said,
"Yes; you were right; that can
cer quack took my 450 dollars,
and now, after two months of
relief my painful tumor is back.
But I am not angry because,
during the two months in which
I thought I was cured, I felt
well, I ate well, I gained weight,
and I slept at night!
Scaled Fate
But another type of story was
just told me by a fine mother
who is now heart-broken and
full of terrible feelings of guilt
because some months ago she
made a wrong decision and
thereby sealed her daughter's
fate. What happened was that
when the daughter got a highly
malignant black cancer on her
hand, and the family doctor
wisely wanted immediately to
cut it all out, the mother de
murred. She took the child to
a quack who tried to burn the
cancer out with an antiquated
paste. When, with this, the
growth rapidly spread, the
mother became alarmed and
hurried to a surgeon, but by
then it was too late: nothing
could be done, and the child
soon passed away.
The other day I received an
angry letter from a man be
cause I had said I had never
heard of a secret "cancer cure"
that had eventually proved to
have some value. With time,
they have all been forgotten.
My correspondent said he knew
a man who had taken a quack
cancer cure and had lived for
12 years; he thought this one
case proved I was wrong.
I could have told the man
of many patients I have known
who had their liver full of can
cer; they took no medicine,
and they lived many years.

WASHINGTON (UPI (-Newspapers,
magazines, radio, tele
vision and the lady next door
all play a vital role in keeping
us informed.
But nobody can be said truly
to be abreast of the times un
less he also audits one or more
trade publications.
These specialized journals
frequently carry items, outside
the scope of the general media,
that reflect fundamental chang
es in the warp and woof of our
society. Particularly the woof.
I ran across a good example
of this the other day while
thumbing through a back issue
of an oil industry publication
It was among the reading ma
terial in my dentist's waiting
room,
My dentist lets his patients
deaden their nerves on litera
ture and then charges them for
novocaine.
This item appeared under the
heading Women Play Greater
Role in Care of Family Autos."
Which is the kind of cheery
news a person likes to read in
a dental office.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
Ci OODY ACE was present in a beauty parlor in Beverly
T hills when a very pretty girl refused to allow the opera
lo to restore a blonde glow to her naturally dark hair. "Your
hair really needs touch
ing up," insisted the oper
ator, "and I assure you
we can do it every bit as
well as they do it back
East." "Impossible," sigh
ed the pretty girl. "I may
be here in Beverly Hills,
but my roots are in New
York."
An overnight star, In
New York for personal ap
pearance, and staying at
the Waldorf, received a call
from the president of a big
insurance company. "We
want you to be toastmastcr at our big- banquet Kriday night. It
will be held at the Astor Hotel just a few blocks from where
you are now, go it will cause you a minimum of trouble. What
will you charge?"
The overnight star, still remembering all loo well how hard
up he had been just a few short months before, answered, "Three
thousand dollars and CARFARE"'
Mrs. Hlbbs sought her hostess to inquire, "What's become of
that piC'.ty waitress who was passing the cocktaila?" "I'm
sorry," apologized the hostess. "Were you looking for a drink?"
"Thank you, no," said Mrs. Hlbbs. "I was looking for my hus
band." C 1963, by Bennett Cert. Distributed by King Futures SyadlcaU

The headline, however, proved
10 oe misleading. The article it
self began as follows:
"Recent surveys indicate that
America's 36 million women
drivers are making more and
more decisions about the fami
ly s automotive service."
Then it went on to say that
"33 per cent of women drivers
select specific service stations
25 per cent decide which brand
of gasoline to buy; 21 per cent
make the decisions on minor re
pairs and oil changes; 18 per
cent on battery purchases; and
17 per cent on new tires.
Although this was not the role
I had in mind, I nevertheless
found the statistics absorbing. I
couldn't help but wonder who
makes these decisions for the
other 67, 75, 79, 82 and 83 per
cent.
Not All Married
Their husbands? That might
be true in some cases, but not
all of America's 36 million wom
en drivers are married.
If only 33 per cent of them
select specific service stations,
then it must be assumed that
some women just keep on driv
ing until they run out of cas.
"Didn't you notice that the
gauge registered empty?"
"Yes, but I couldn't decide
which station to patronize."
Stranger things have hap
pened.
Also, note that while 33 per
cent select the station, only 25
per cent select the brand of
gasoline. This implies that 8 per
cent pick a brand and then stop
at a station that sells another
brand.
Stranger things than that have
happened, too.
