NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1938 ■* Home Recipes Catarrhal Deafness By DR. JAMES W. BARTON (?) B ell S y n d ic a te .—WNU S e rv ic e . HEN a patient hard of W hearing has submitted to months of treatment, per­ haps to operation, and finally has settled down to get what comfort possible by wearing some form of hearing aid, and then hears of some fur­ ther method of restoring hearing, he may do one of two things—(a) grasp for it as a drowning man will grasp for a straw, or (b) make up his mind that no method can help him in his present con­ dition. I believe, therefore, that I should again record the results obtained by Dr. F. W. O’Brien, Boston, as recorded in the magazine, Ra­ diology. Dr. O’Brien re­ ports that from 1S29 to 1935 he treated 140 patients with ca­ tarrhal deafness and head noises by the _____ _ X-ray. Of this num- ^ ber 73 were helped, 1 65 were not Im­ Dr. Barton proved, and 2 were made worse. Of the improved group 67 had nine treatments to each ear, and six re­ ceived only eight treatments; nine treatments was considered the cor­ rect number to give. The expo­ sures to the X-rays lasted five min­ utes and were given once a week for nine weeks. Really Were Cured. No patient had been followed less than a year, the majority for more than three years, and some as long as five years. The part of the head put under the X-ray extended from the top of the nose to the lower tip of the bone behind the ear. This means that the whole hearing struc­ ture—nose, throat (with little tube carrying air up to inner side of ear drum), the spongy tissue behind the ear, the middle ear containing the little bones running from drum to the hearing nerve, and the hearing nerve itself—were all put under the direct effects of the X-rays. Dr. O'Brien makes no attempt to explain how the X-ray treatments bring about Improvement in cases of chronic or old cases of catarrhal deafness. The points to remember are "that all these cases were due to a catarrh­ al condition, all of them were old cases, and all those that had been Improved had been followed for from one to seven years after the X-ray treatments had been given, so the cures were really cures. • • • Dry Diet Epllcsy. During the search for the cause of epilepsy (a search that is still going on), one research worker starved ten epileptics for a number of days, during which time not one of them had an attack. As some of them were accustomed to having a num­ ber of attacks every day, it was thus definitely proven that foods had something to do with causing the at­ tacks of epilepsy. Other research workers then found that by cutting down on the starch foods and increasing the fat foods the attacks could be prevented or were less severe. That too much water in the body, especially in the brain and the spinal cord, was a factor in causing epileptic attacks, was later dem­ onstrated. The result today Is that in a large number of cases a special diet which cuts down on the water and starch foods and increases the fats, enables the patient to keep free of attacks. There ore, of course, a great number who in addition to fol­ lowing this special diet must also use a tablet or phénobarbital or luminal daily. It would seem that Just as tiabetes is caused by a lack of insulin in the pancreas, so epilepsy is caused by a lack of something from some gland or organ in the body. And Just at diabetes can be controlled by the addition of extra insulin daily, so can epilepsy be controlled I by increasing the fats and cutting down on liquids and starch foods.
