The Wingham Advance-Times, 1956-01-04, Page 10Meeting A Complex Problem The modern world, with Its fast pace and its many tensions, has proven an ideal setting for the development of what people frequently —but not too eccurately—describe as "nervous stomach." It has been eatimsited- that about ;one out of every ten Canadians suff ers from peptic ulcer at some • time. Many more develop trouble- some symptoms that accompany hyperacidity, such as "heartburn" and other forms of gas pain. Such conditions, actually, do not involve the stomach alone but other parts of the gastrointestinal -tract as well. And because tension, anxiety and emotional stress play a vital part in the development of these ailments, medical researchers sometimes refer to them under the general heading "ernotiogenic gas- trointestinal disorders." Treatment of gastric disorders is complicated by the fact that frequently, both the physical and emotional symptoms require attention. To meet this problem, scientists have tkiteloped Neut.°. Centrine, a unique combination of some of the most potent agents available for emotional and ner- vous disorders. One ingredient, reserpinee be- longs to the category of medica- tions known as "tranquilizers." Derived from the Indian "snake root" called Ratiwolfia serpptina, this drug acts on the central ner- vous system to produce a marked calming effect. It is being utilized in hospitals to treat certain psy- chOses arid anxiety states, as well as hypertension and other condi- tions of nervous origin. Another irn,redient of the new drug combination is the sedative •phenobarbital. The third, and probably most important component, is a chemi- cal agent known as Centrine. Tests have shown that by blocking nerve impulses, Centrine reduces painful spasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Inaddition, it controls ulcer pain by reducing excessive secre- tion of hydrochloric, acid which erodes stomach tissue and pro- duces the ulcer pain. Doctors also believe that Nettie- Centrine may prove useful in the treatment of such conditions as night cramps in 'elderly persons, morning sickness and emotional disorders associated with prep. nancy. Drugs such as Neuro-Centrine are the direct result of a better understanding of disease. For with such understanding has come a recognition that many human dis- orders are extremely •complex' in nature and therefore respond best to a combination of agents, each of which is designed to treat a differ- ent facet of the disease condition.

The pumping method will usually slow and stop a vehicle safe- ly whereas a single strong application of the brakes could easily bring about an uncontrollable skid. Maintaining control depends first on preventing skids. 4.n abrupt change of speed or direction can start a dangerous skid by upsetting the fric- tional grip of the tires. Too much power applied to the wheels causes them to spin and Immediately traction is reduced by as much as 50 per cent If a driver becomes stuck in snow, without chains or special' equipment, the most successful method of getting out is to feed only moderate power to prevent the rear wheels from spin- ning. Usually it is possible to get the car moving a bit at a time and by timing the power application, cause the car to rock back and forth, in- creasing its momentum a little each time until the car is freed. NAMES ARE NEEDED ' FOR RESEARCH WORK Everyone wants to be a researcher, but only a few Individuals have the opportunity and thrill of making great scientific discoveries. Here is a chance for every Canadian to play a very important part` in a research project that aims at trying to find out the cause and cure for multiple sclerosis. For any of you who do not know about this disease, it attacks the central nervous system with resulting impairment of various body functions, causing such symp- toms as imbalance and incoordination numbness, tremors, defective vision, slurred speech, bladder and bowel dif- ficulties. It is' often referred to as the "disease of young, adults", since it most frequently affects those persons within the 20-40 age bracket. You can help in the search for the cause and cure of multiple sclerosis. The scientists, who are devoting their lives to this study, need to know the names and addresses of sets of iden- tical twins, one of whom is suffering from multiple sclerosis. Statistics tell us that there are probably 40 identical twinships in Canada, meeting the re- quirements of this study. There are two types of twins: iden- tical and fraternal. Identical twins are recognized as be- ing of the same sex and apparently similar in most physical characteris- tics, as well as in personality and in- tellectual traits, The other type, known as fraternal twins, may be of the same or differ- ent sexes, and, although born at a single birth, have no closer relation to each other than any other brother or sister. In the case of identical twins, one being afflicted with multiple sclerosis, nature provides us with a ready-made laboratory experiment in determining the relative importance of possible environmental and genetic factors. It is obvious then that our scientific re- searchers need to know who and where these twins are, so that they can go ahead with their, task of using Project Twin, to help track down the cause of this mystery disease. You may not be qualified to work with test tube and microscope in a laboratory, but you -can, with pencil or pen, contribute mightily toward the success of this project, No twins, no project, and one source of possible valuable research closed off! Names and addreses of identical twins, one of whom is suffering from this disease should be ' mailed to: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, P.O.

The Wingham Advance-Tintea, Wednesday, January 4th, 1954 Dr. Leslie Bell Says Arts Need Support Canadian writers, painters, musi- cians and cultural organizations need, and should be given, federal govern- ment aid, declares Dr, Leslie Bell, the well-known Canadian musician. A program of state aid, says Bell, writing in a current issue of Maclean's magazine, may cost "a lot of money— possibly as much as a twentieth part' of the price of national defence—but it will pay off in the long run because it will enable Canada to hold up her head among the nations of the world." Supporters of such a program want money for the talented Canadian com- posers, writers and playwrights whose creative efforts are being stifled by lack of funds. They want money for the many voluntary cultural organi- zations that are working on a shoe- string. They want to see Canada's cultural activities organized here at home through government depart- meats and effectively publicized abroad, Bell points , out that there are many dramatic groups in Canada without halls in which to perform, choirs and orchestras without sheet music and painters and, sculptors who have no place in which to show their work. Worse still, he says that there are hundreds of thousands of Canadians who have no opportunity to see good plays and paintings, or to hear live music. A. friend of mine, threatened with a nervous breakdown, was persuaded to consult a psychiatrist. After their first session, he gave her a list of things to do and made 'a weekly ap- pointment for her. Two weeks later he telephoned her and asked why she had failed to keep her appointments. "But doctor," she explained, "you said for me to stay away from people who irritate me, and I don't know anyone Who irritates me more than you do." glantininannownialtaintionsininammoiniummusinumme4 a -A A -NEW ii. 60-X I II @TRANSISTOR I HEARING AID i • I ONLY COMPLETE U ' i ....,......-LI ' . .u- ' • 1447 it • III • iii• a. iii, . a it it it ,.. 1041011fisialiMilliiiikiliMitiltoltiiiiiiifilliiiiitiOilltitillialiinitrittei hut imaginet A finest quality 4-transis- tof Zenith backed by an iron-clad 10-day money-back guarantee OM/ satlefac- don, yet selling for one-fourth the price of many comparable aids.
