SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
Surprise For Seniors
A new idea in medicine may
keep us young long past the usual
cribbage-and-crochet age. Geriat
rics, that branch of medicine con
cerned with the ills of aging, has
taken a new look at the older gen
eration and it may not be long
before three-score-and-ten seems
pretty young.
□ Geriatric spe
cialists know
years don’t tell
our age - except
to the^s census
taker For in
stance, they know
hormone changes
occur both in men
and women after
the middle years,
changes which seem to age us ra
pidly Many doctors employ min
ute amounts of synthetic male and
female hormones to restore the
good tone often lost in the inelastic
later years.
Most older people let their diets
slip and even when diet is ade
quate, doctors believe older people
need extra vitamins they can’t ab
sorb from foods.
Recognizing the almost uni
versal need for hormones and vita
mins, one pharmaceutical house
has combined both in a single drug
called Neobon. Dr. Milton Ende, of
Petersburg, Virginia, tested Neo
bon with 94 elderly patients suffer
ing from serious illness such as
heart disease, diabetes and arthri
tis. Nearly all his patients bene
fited. Almost eighty per cent re
I ported an increased sense of well
being. Fifty*seven patients in the
I group had better appetite; 56
| gained weight. ,
| Doctors today are no longer tak
| ing “old age ills” for granted. They
are looking for ways to keep us
j mentally and physically young
[ Drugs are useful weapons in the
1 battle against infirmity.

Members of “Oldest
Profession” Protest
Loss of Livelihood
NEW DELHI, UP) — India’s
union of prostitutes warned Tues
day that “sex-starved people—
widowers, bachelors and the
like—” will menace respectable
Indian womanhood if their pro
fession is outlawed.
Nearly 100 sari-clad prostitutes
demonstrated before Parliament
against the new suppression of
immoral traffic act, which makes
their calling illegal at midnight
Thursday.
The demonstrators were mem
bers of the union of “singing and
dancing girls and prostitute pop
ulation of India.” A few carried
babies as they marched on the
capitol and squatted on the lawn
shortly before Parliament met.
Their leader carried an appeal
to Prime Minister Nehru which
said:
“Not listening to us may mean
many of us fleeing to live amongst
the other population and a risk
to the honor and respect of other
women of society at the hands of
sex-starved people — widowers,
bachelors and the like.”
The appeal claimed that unless
prostitutes are conveniently avail
able, men will turn to respectable
women “for satisfaction of their
lust.”
India’s prostitute population is
estimated at a million, or about
one for every 200 men. The
union is soliciting funds for a
court attack on the new act and
reportedly has hired a top Bom
bay lawyer. 4
Strong-toothed Man
Saves Two From
After Boat Overturns
ST. LOUIS, UP — Two St.
Louisans can be thankful that a
third has strong teeth and jaws.
The two were saved by Donald
Shearman, 32, last night after
their motorboat overturned in
choppy water along the St. Louis
waterfront.
Shearman, paddling in a kayak
type canoe, grabbed a rope trail
ing from the upset boat, gripped
the rope in his teeth and paddled
to shore with Ernest F. Green,
17, and William Asbille, 35, cling
ing to their craft.
