ANTIDOTE Voted the
TO DREAD DISEASE
By A Medical Correspondent
BRITISH scientists have found
a new weapon to combat haemophilia, or excessive bleed- Ing, the discase from which the Count of Covadonga, the former Prince of the Asturias, is a sufferer.
Victims of this malady are unable to undergo even minor operations or tooth extractions for fear of bleeding to death.
The new antidote, described in a recent issue of the Lancet, is the re- sult of an accidental discoverey by Dr. W. A. Timperley, of Shefeld, that a substance derived from egg- white will minke blood clot more quickly.
Dr. Timperley underwent severni Injections of the new substance to prove that it was harmless, and pro- longed experiments were performed on cats and human volunteers before haemophiliacs were treated. Now great success has been obtained in cases where the slightest knock used to cause haemorrhage into a joint.
With the aid of the substance tooth extraction has been performed in 24 haemophiliao cases, and it was necessary only once to use snake venom to check the bleeding.
I is emphasised, however, that the
new treatment is not a cure for the disease, but a means of tiding over criscв which might endanger n sufferer's life.
Is a crowning triumph for Fred As- taire, Ginger Rogers and RKO Radio. Hooking up the superlative dancing abilities of Astaire and Miss Rogers with the melodies of Irving Berlin proves to be a master stroke of concentrated entertainment values. Berlin never has written more catchy. for ingratiating songs than he did "Top Hat" and the way that Astaire and Miss Rogers put over the num bers, both in dancing and in sing- desired. ing, leaves nothing to be Perfect support is accorded the co- stars by a grand comedy cast, Ed- ward Everett Horton, Helen Brede- rick, the brilliant Broadway come- dienne, Erik Rhodes and Eric Blore are simply priceless in tailor-made the roles. Indeed, only stars with talents and magnetism of Astaire and Miss Rogers could keep from having a picture stolen right away from them by such entertainers.
