I Medical Milestones
An "Antidote" for Anxiety .
Diseases are often associated with particular periods in history, just
as they are often linked with certain geographical areas. It is not too
strange, for example, to learn that when ignorance and poverty pre
vailed i as in the Middle Ages) great plagues scourged the world..
Centuries later, during the Industrial Revolution, new disease nat
terns emerged- people bad nocked *
to the cities, often living in over
crowded, unsanitary conditions,
with poor ventilation, contamin
ated food and polluted water. Dur
ing this period diseases like
tuberculosis, typhoid fever and in
fluenza took a huge toll of lives.
Today we live in an age of
mange—domestic, social and busi
ness change; changes in inter
national economy and politics;
changes that reach into the lives
of us all. The disease symbols of
this age are increased tension and
anxiety.
Science tells us that though some
degree of anxiety is desirable be
cause it prompts us to “do some
thing about it," anxiety is harm
ful when it gets out of hand. It is
only when it grows out of all pro
portion to the problems involved
and prevents us from acting that
it becomes something of a medical
problem.
It has beer, estimated that to
day one out of every three per- I
sons whom the doctor sees is suf- j
faring primarily from anxiety. In
effect the world is suffering from !
an ' epidemic” of anxiety.
Fortunately, we have an “anti
dote” for thiu. A new drug is now
available that relieves tension and
anxiety. Dr. Frank M. Berger, who
introduced the relaxant raephene
sin, recently developed a drug
called “ililtown ’ which has been
effective against these conditions.'
It is not a barbiturate or a nar
cotic, and has proven safe after
more than hundreds of clinical
trials. A Florida doctor, for ex
ample, found that 68 of 72 of his
patients suffering from anxiety
and tension were helped by “Mil
town”. Other doctors throughout
the country have had similar ex
periences with the new drug, both
in the treatment of mild and se
vere cases of anxiety.
“Miltown,” is a drug that can be
obtained only on a doctor's pro
scription.

■ New Hope For Cancer Stricken j
One of the most common dis
eases among older men is also
one of the most baffling to the
medical profession. It is cancer
of the prostate gland.
This insidious form of cancer
alone accounts for approximately
20,000 deaths in this country each
year. Furthermore, between 3 and
8 million men living now may have
cancer of the prostate. Few know
it
Dr. J. Kenneth Sokol, North
western u di
versity Medi
cal School, re
ported in
“Medical
Clinics of
North Ameri
ca,” that “less
than one of
twenty pros
tate cancer
cases are suit
able c a n di
datesforcom
pieie removal
of cancer.” For this reason, new
technics are particularly im
portant.
One of the successful ap
proaches to the palliation of pros
tatic cancer has been through
new medicines. Among these ;s
a new type estrogenic compound
which is bringing relief and hope
to many nrostatic cancer pa
tients. This new drug, Tace, has
been used successfully by several
doctors in the treatment of this
disease.
Drs. Grayson Carroll and Rob- :
ert V. Brennan of St. Louis Uni
versity School of medicine and
St. John’s Hospital, St. Louis,
Missouri, reported studies cover
ing a period of 32 months with
42 patients suffering from this
disease of the prostate.
“In many patients in whom the
disease haa made other synthetic
drugs ineffective, the administra
tion of Tace resulted in clinical
improvement," they reported
through an article in “The Journ
al of Urology.” V
The effectiveness of this new
estrogen was characterized by in
creased weight, less cancer pain,
and improvement in blood pres
sure. Furthermore, it seemed to
stop growth of cancer in other
j parts of the body.
However, they pointed out
| “sufficient time has not elapsed
i for us to compare the survival
| time in Tace-created patients to
that observed in patients treated
j with other synthetic or natural
estrogens.” Nevertheless, it is en
couraging to know that all hope
is not gone when a patient dis
covers that he has cancer of the
> prostate.
Tace. available only on pre
; scription, was developed by the,
j rese arch laboratories of the Wm.'
; S. Merreli company, Cincinnati,
| Ohio. — —
,'Cartons For Picnics Of No Returns __
Here’s how you can set a complete picnic lunch and throw away
all serving items entirely without cost. It’s aii done with milk cartons.
1—For piates you simply split empty half-gallon waxed paper milk
cartons the iong way. 2—You fetch your beans, hotdogs and other
foods in half-galion cartons which you have re-sealed (by cutting off
the peak of the gable top and refolding the pouring spout). 3—For
serving pickles, cottage cneese, relish and condiments, use split halves
of quart cartons. 4—Bring your own ice. frozen in smaller size car
tons in your deep freeze unit. Y'our milk or fruit beverage, of course, ’
comes in a sealed carton, also disposable. 5—A couple of extra car-!
tons takes care of leftovers, if any. 6—You start your picnic fire with
cartons, and when you are all through you dump all the used serving
cartons in the fire or trash container. To return home . .. with no
returns. - ---'■*

Named “Beau Brummel" of ’56 V
' NEW YORK — Ray Holland of Long Beach, N. Y., seated on the
“throne", was crowned “Mr. Beau Brummel of 1956”, and Elaina
Brooks, garbed at his right in novel lounging outfit, was titled “Miss
Kentucky Bred” at Uptown Press Club’s annual ball in Savoy Ball
room, here, recently.
Mr. Holland, a veteran of World War II and the Korean War and
now a bartender in his Long Island community, won his title because
he is “consistently well-groomed, fastidious in dress and impeccable
in decorum at all times.” i
Miss Brooks is a disk jockey on radio station WOV, here. Her racing
jockey costume was inspired by Kentucky’s renown as the home of
great thoroughbreds and bourbons. — -
