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.

1PREVENT SKIDS
ON WINTER ROADS
Based on the fact that once frac-
' tion is lost it is difficult or imppssible
'to recover, braking on slippery sur-
faces should be done by pumping the
brake in sharp jabs (with the clutch
engaged) rather than in one abrupt
operation. 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,

of a daily dozen, when he can kick
and squirm in, freedom. This helps to
exercise his limbs and stretch his
muscles, a necessary aid to develop-

through his kicking performance he
should be protected from all drafts.

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."
