Charges Fraud
In Claims for
Health Devices
Washington.—A food and drug
administration official declared
the other day that “unprincipled
adventurers in the business of
furnishing cure-all therapeutic
gadgets are rampant.’
“The violations encountered in
the (health) device field are of a
serious character,” Dr. Irvin Ker-
lan, medical officer, told the Am-
crican Congress of Physical Med-
icine.
Althougn he stressed in a pre-
pared report that most manufac-
turers are complying with regula-
tions, Kerlan said the persistence
of offenders seems to be “direct-
ly proportionate to the increas-
ing absurdity of the claims “they
make for their contraptions.”
“Even more tragic,” he added,
“is the fact that persons turn to
these fraudulent pieces of equip-
ment for treatment of serious dis-
eases which require immediate,
competent diagnosis and rational
[treatment by a physician.”
Describing a few devices he
called fraudulet, Kerlan said:
| “A vapor-bath system, consist-
[ing of certain non-volatile drugs
and plumbing connections between
a generator and bath cabinets
which could be purchased for $2,-
200 was represented recklessly as
effective for diabetes, abscess of
the lungs, decay of the jawbones
and blood poisoning, among a
list of other ailments.
“A device for administering an
enema, priced at £i1,190, was of-
fered for the treatment of ar-
jeritis, rheumatism, neuritis, high
and low blood pressure, toxic
heart conditions, ulcers of the
|stomach, and bowels, colitis, ap-
[fendiciiss, gall bladder troubles.
lumbago, and for good measure a
{host of ills that heretofore have
been obscure.”
School Health Plan
In Pennsylvania
To Be Continued
With school bells once more
clanging throughout Pennsylva-
nia, another vital phase of post-
war schooling enters its third
year.
This is the program of school
health examinations, which last
year covered more than 850,000
children of school age in the sta-
te— and discloseed the fact that
approximately 40 per cent suffer-
ed remedial defects in rural sch-
ool districts.
Health authorities point to this
figure as the whyfore and need
{of these health examinations. In-
| terestingly, too, the State Depart-
|ment of health said that only a
[students examined last year had
|ever received a complete physi-
| cal examination since infancy.
J: But what happened last year
{in the rural districts where 242 -
|000 school children were examin-
ed? The record shows, a spokes-
man for the ‘department told the
Pennsylvania News Service, that
[about 46,200 pupils were suffering
[from diseased tonsils; that 38,-
[20 were found having visual de-
fects, while another 17,850 suf-
[fered nutritional defects.
Heart defects were reported in
17,386 cases, while poor hearing
{was noted in the case of 1,350
pupils.
It costs approximately $3,500,-
000 a year to carry out these me-
dical examinations. Last year pro-
vision was made for followup work
on defects uncovered—something
which had not been provided be-
fore. Commented” the department
spokesman:
“An intensive follow-up and
correction of defects found in the
school examinations will show
results within the next five or
even fewer years.”
