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 toe
strange, for example, to learn that when ignorance and poverty pre
vailed, (as in the Middle Ages) great plagues scourged the world.
Centuries later, during the Industrial Revolution, new disease pat
terns emerged. People had 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
change—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 been estimated that to
day one out of every three per
sons whom the doctor sees is suf
fering primarily from anxiety. In
effect the world is suffering from
an “epidemic” of anxiety.
Fortunately, we have an “anti
dote” for this. A new drug is now
available that relieves tension and
anxiety. Dr. Frank M. Berger, who
introduced the relaxant mephene
sin, recently developed a drug
called “Miltown” 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 pre
scription.

A
Spectacular Fire
In Portland, Ore.
Waterfront Area
PORTLAND, —A spectacular
fire that raced through a water
front industrial section and on to
a half-dozen houses caused an es
timated 1V4 million dollars in
damage here Wednesday.
The huge blaze taxed the Port
land fire department. All avail
able equipment in the city was
called out, and some from other
nearby points, before the fire was
brought under control after a
five-hour battle.
The blaze broke but along the
quarter - mile - long dock of the
Zidell Machinery Co. on the west
bank of the Willamette river. ,A
25-mile-an-hour wind pushed the
flames ashore.
The dock and two ships tied
up were destroyed. Much Zidell
machinery was burned, and the
flames spread to the Barde Steel
Co. warehouse, the Schnitzer and
Wolf scrap steel warehouse and
the Miller Products Co., a chemi
cal firm.
Flarrfes jumped westward and
burned three houses. Sparks were
carried a mile up the West Hills,
where they touched off a fire that
destroyed the roof of another
house.
