On Ancient Medicine Being Used to Treat 1 Bronchial Asthma; Expensive, Scarce BY PAUL Ft ELLIS United PreestSclenee Writer NEW YORK, April 20 (U.R) A medicine discovered in ancient times is being used to treat bronchial bron-chial asthma. The medicine is a drug known as khellln, the active principle extracted from the seeds of a plant that grows wild In the Mediterranean area and In Arabia. Human beings in sncient days used drieds seeds of the plants as medicine. An example of the modern use of khellin, which has now been produced synthetically, is reported by Dr. Ralph H. Major. Kansas City, Kana., in the journal of tha Kansas Medical society. He administered ad-ministered the drug to 12 patients, suffering asthma. Major, of the department of In ternal medicine, University of Kansas school of medicine, said all of the patients were "severe asthmatics" who obtained . relief only through administration of large doses of drugs which, Major said, "a conservative physician would regard as potentially dan gerous." The routine anti-bis- tamininc drugs also were unsuccessful, unsuc-cessful, he said, Major said he put them on khellin. j "All of these patients with one exception," he reported, "experienced "experi-enced marked relief while in the hospital taking khellin under our supervision. In most instances the relief was rapid and lasted as long as they continued taking the tablets." One patient had suffered for 35 the 8th of this month I for the first time since my dear Carlie was buried, visited her grave. It is hard to bear, but undoubtedly right. We must all go sooner or later, and those who are left are the ones to mourn. I think of her day and night and hope to be prepared to meet her.

The average was about 12 years; The drug, as of now, Is expen- siv and scarce, Major said. He admitted that the study of , 12 patients was not conclusive, say Ing: ; "Now, one swallow, as Aristotle Aris-totle said, doesn't make a snrine. and 12 cases cannot prove the superiority or even the great, value of khellin in bronchial asthma. We are convinced, however, how-ever, from our admittedly limited limit-ed experience, that khellin la of value in the treatment of asthma." The dried seeds 'of the plant 4 nii'wi iiic uruj( was nf veloped are still being used ss medicine by the natives of the Mediterranean area and la Arabia, Major ssid. Thumb-Sucking No Cause for Alarm OTTAWA, Ont. (U.R) Dr. W. I. Blatz, child specialist, took hefty swipes at psychoanalysts over the problem of child thumb-sucking, "No lasting harm follows it," he said, "and it doesn't have the sin- ister meanings that psychoanalysts would ascribe to it." He said children -iten were driven to sucking their thumbs because of boredom. "It is also a perpetuation of suckling," he added, "and another j reason lor it is when children are afraid, they want that thumb." Blatz is director of the institute of child study at the University of Toronto.
