Venereal Disease Rise Here
Alarming, Taggart Says
Dr. S. Ross Taggart, director of the
Bureau of Venereal Diseases of the
District Health Department, said
yesterday he is alarmed at the in
crease in venereal disease here.
“A conservative estimate of new
venereal disease developing in Wash
ington in 1946 would be 9,000 cases
of syphilis and 27,000 cases of gonor
rhea, Dr. Taggart said. “One half
of all venereal disease infections now
oecuring are in girls under the age
of 22 and boys under the age of 25.”
Dr. Taggart pointed out that, of all
the reports reaching the Health De
partment. only a small number come
from private physicians. Many more
cases probably were not seen by
physicians, hospitals or clinics.
“This represents a 35 per cent in
crease in reported cases of syphilis
and 40 per cent increase in gonor
rhea.” Dr. Taggart added. “It is im
perative that we act.
“All agencies—public, private, so
cial and health, industrial and
managerial—must work to inform
the entire community that physi
cians, hospitals, and Health Depart
ment clinics have safe and effective
drugs for treatment. Much work
of prevention can also be done, re
enforcing ethical standards and pro
viding training and guidance for
youth.”
Forum to Hold Buffet
A first anniversary buffet supper
is planned by the New World Forum
at its final meeting of the fall
winter series at 6 pm. today in the
Phyllis Wheatley annex of the
YMCA, 1719 Thirteenth street N.W.
The Forum, an informal discussion
group sponsored by the YWCA, will
reconvene in the fall.
Two Doctors Find Vitamin E
Best Drug for Heart Disease
ly th« Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, April 12.—'Two;
Canadian doctors told the Kansas'
City Academy of Medicine last'
night that vitamin E could be rec
ognized as "the most Effective drug
known in the treatment erf heart
disease” and as one which appears
to have dramatic healing powers.
The doctors are brothers, Dr. E.
V. Shute of London, Ontario, and
Dr. W. E. Shute of Guelph, Ontario.
Their main thesis is that the action
of the vitamin improves the circula
tion in the heart muscle.
Dr. W. E. Shute, a surgeon, said
he had noted a rapid relief of pain
in some types of heart ailments and
a rapid decrease in dropsy.
Dr. E. V. Shute, obstetrician and
gynecologist, detailed results that
indicated the vitamin improves the
capillary circulation and utilization
of oxygen in tissue. His experi
ments have proved conclusively, he
said, that vitamin E has a notable i
effect in restoring circulation in the
smallest blood vessels.
He said he had witnessed ‘re
markable recoveries” in the blood
clotting that is associated with an
inflammation of the veins (thrombo
phlebitis), chronic ulcers resulting
from hardening of the arteries and
blood clots on the brain.
Both doctors said they had no
illusion that the vitamin could be
considered a cure-all and warned
that indiscriminate use of the vita
min could have harmful effects.
