THE FIRST CONCERN,
By Dr. Morris Fishbein
Editor, Journal of the American Medical
Association, and of Hygela, the Health
Magazine
The current epidemic of influenza
has carried with it a vast amount of
secondary infection of the ear, a
condition which is invariably fre-
quent when there are epidemics of
colds, sore throat, and of acute in-
fectious diseases,
In the vast majority of cases
when cultures are made of the in-
fectious matter taken from such
ears, a germ of the streptococcus
group is found. The amount of in-
fection in the ear varies greatly in
individual cases.
Thus, the infection may be limit-
ed entirely to the ear and after the
| “Bacteriophages are administered
also by mouth as liquid for intes-
| tinal infections like dysentery and
| cholera, and also by subcutaneous
| (skin) injections for bacteria local-
|ized in tissues, as in staphylococcus
and streptococcus infections.
It must be clearly understood
| that each kind of bacteriophage or
germs swallower is specif for a
infection. t is, each
| type of will eat up, so to say,
| but one sort of :
| “We obtain or stocks of
| the staphylococcus and streptococ-
cus bacteriophages from diverse
| sources, from discharges of infected
| persons, animal tissues, even small-
pox virus and so on. Material con-
| taining these phases grow only in
| presence of living of growing germs.”
145,000 CHRISTMAS BOXES
FOR CHILDREN OF EUROPE
Forty-five thousand gayly wrapped
| Christmas boxes carried the greet-
lings and good wishes of American
| school children—members of the
Junior Red Cross—to Junior Red
Cross children of Europe. As-
sembled in New York, the gifts
| were forwarded by the American
Red Cross to the Red Cross societies
of the various countries, for distri-
bution.
Other large shipments of holiday
packages went to the Orient, to
| South America, to the islands of the
sea. Eight hundred were sent to
children of the Virgin Islands. Some
months in advance, in order to in-
of the boxes had to be prepared

the infection may spread into the came 1,000 handsome boxes of dried
bony cells adjacent to the ears so! apricots stuffed with almonds, and
that the patient develops a second- |
ary infection of the mastoid. In|
such cases it may be necessary to
chisel into the mastoid region so as
to release the infection there active.
Sometimes the infection attacks
the blood vessels and is spread from
the ear throughout the body. In
these cases the germs may be found
in the urine,
ary meningitis, there may be in-
flamation of the appendix or of
the intestinal tract.
Dr. I. Friesner points out that
these infections occur more frequent-
ly in children than they do in adults.
and that when the joints are con-
cerned as secondary manifestation
due to infection in the ear, the hip
joint is the one usually involved.
Obviously the important step in
the treatment of any of these condi-
tions is the release of the infection
so that it will not burrow away
from the ear into the adjacent tis-
sues or so that it will not gain en-
trance into the blood stream and
thus be spread throughout the body,
Here is particularly one of the
medical conditions in which early
attention and careful watching
throughout the entire progress of
the situation is perhaps the most
important step in control of the
dangerous aspects of the condition.
FROSTBITE
By Dr. W. A. Evans
“Freezing. A frozen part of the
body will have the color of lead and
feel hard to touch. It will be in-
sensible. The old-fashioned method
of rubbing with snow often causes
the skin to rub off, which later
leaves scars and is liable to infec-
tion. Small frozen sections can be
thawed out by holding the hand
over them. Parts recovering from
freezing are treated almost like
burns. They should be kept surg-
ically clean and protected by a
coating of sterile vasaline.”
Let us add this: Frozen parts
must not be put in warm water or
exposed before a fire, or held overa
radiator. They can be thawed with
clean, cold water or by covering
with wool or furor contact with
warm skin. The sensitiveness to
cold which follows freezing can be
overcome by bathing in warm (not
hot) melted paraffin.
Scoutdraft warns against profuse
sweating due to overdressing and
heavy exertion while hiking, skiing
or skating, Avoid having the gar-
ments become wet with sweat by re-
moving surplus wraps and sweaters.
“Wet feet: Hikers are especially
warned against getting the feet wet,
or at least letting them stay wet.
The boots should be kept well greas-
ed. Extra socks should be carried
on the hike. If the feet are wet or
cold or both, time off should be
taken and the socks should be
changed.”
Frostbite is a very troublesome
affliction and its effects are long
continued. While cold foot baths
and vigorous rubbing and especially
baths in warm paraffin will help to
relieve the itching and burning, and
tendency for the toes to turn dead
white, prevention is much better
than cure.
SURGEONS ARE NOW APPLYING
PHAGES TO CURE BOIis.
wa Method of treating boils with
e newly prepared - staphylococcus
bacteriophages is to apply a wet
dressing of these phages.
This is a novel and important
development in phages cures. How
those great microbe hunters, Pasteur,
Koch and Lister, the father of an-
bog elle Rl Ty
director of the Laboratories,
New Brunswick, N. J.,, says as fol-
lows:
“Robert Koch showed the cause of
wound infections, the most dreaded
of all the dangers of the surgeon, to
be minute germs known as the
staphylococcus infections are among
the most common met with by the
surgeon and among the most dif-
ficult with which he has to deal,
“They are sometimes mild, but in
many instances the staphylococcus
infections are extremely virulent.
“Now, our staphylococcus bacteri-
ophages can be administered by ap-
lication in the form of wet dress-
for ulcers, abcessess and similar
conditions, on the surface of the
skin. The action of these bacteri-
ophages is to swallow up the infec-
tion germs and thus to heal.

CRIME COST U. S.
i 16 BILLION ANNUALLY.
i
| Crime costs the United States
| $16,000,000,000 annually, Dr. Ray
| O. Wyland, New York director of
| the national Boy Scout educational
| department, said in an address be-
| fore 4,000 scout troop leaders and
assistants.
| “One criminal takes as much
| money from the American public
every year as it would cost to give
character training to 100 normal
boys and girls for a whole year,”
Dr. Wyland said. “It would be
cheaper to add to the annual budget
for teaching American youths the
right habits.”
The Boy Scouts movement has
been commended for its effectiveness
in training and building character
more often than any other social
agency, he said.

THE SEVEN WONDERS
OF THE WORLD
The Pyramids of Egypt.—The
royal tombs are 70 in number and
lie on the west side of the river
Nile. They represent 1200 years of
Egyptian History. The first of these
great monuments was erected not
long after 2900 B. C. Some of them
contained 2,300,000 blocks of stone,
some weighing two to three tons.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Are found near the Euphrates
river 60 miles south of the present
city of Bagdad. In the gardens
were planted flowers and small
trees. They also built fountains 75
to 300 feet above the ground. They
were built about 600 B. C.
The Temple of Diana.—It is found
south of Smyrna,
The temple is of marble, and was
built in the fifth century B. C. It
was burned by Herostratus who
wanted notoriety, but he never got
it. He was ed later on, by one
of the Smyrna’s.
The Pharos of Alexandria. —It is
a white marble light-house on the
island of Pharos in Alexandria,
t. It was completed in 265
B.C. by Ptolemy Philadel-
phus. It was joined to Egypt by
Alexander the Great. The structure
cost $850,000 and it was over 400
feet high. An earthquake destroy-
ed it in 1375.

named Phidias. It was a figure of
a bearded God in a sitting posture,
with an olive wreath on his head.
In his right hand was a figure of

The Tomb of Mausolus.—He was
King of Carsia in Asia Minor. It
was built of marble in 352 B. C. by
Queen Artemisia. The widow was
named Mausoleum. It was destroy-
ed by an earthquake.
118,269 DRIVERS’
BLANKS RETURNED.
Postal authorities have returned
to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles
118,269 of the two million drivers’
license applications mailed from the
Bureau early last month, Motor
Vehicle Commission Benjamin G.
Eynon said recently.
While this is a large number Ey-
non said, it's less than the figure of
151,228 in 1929 and 170,947 in 1930.
Of the number returned, 76,167 had

PRODUCTION OF CIGARETTES
INCREASES 600,000,000.
Nearly one thousand i
for every man, woman and child in|
the country were manufactured in
the United States during 1930, ac-
cording to internal revenue figures
made public recently.
The total was 119,624,909,917, an
increase of 600,000,000 over 1829,
At the same time 5,880,132,434
cigars were manufactured, represent-
ing a decrease of 338,000,000 com-
pared with 1929.
The taxes on cigarettes, cigars,
and tobacco manufactures during
1930 totaled $446,156,354, a decrease
of nearly $3,000,000 compared with
1929. It was the first time a fall-
ing off in such revenue had been
recorded since 1925, when the total
was $360,124,241.
