entered the hospital Friday as
a medical patient for observa-
tion and treatment.
Mrs. J. A. Duckett, of Bluff
Dale, has been hospitalized and is
to undergo major surgery Sat-
urday morning.
Patients 'who were discharged
from the hospital Friday include:
Mrs. J. L. Lewis, of Stephenville;
J. P. Watson, also of Stephen-
ville; little Anna Flory, of Dub-
lin; and Mrs. 1). A. Browning, of
Tolar.
The experts, Dris. Chris J.
Zarafonetis, Arthur C. Curtis
and Arthur E. Gulick, identified
the substance as para-aminoben-
zoic acid, commonly known as
para. They said the substance
had “satisfactorily controlled” un-
usual akin conditions.
They made thair report in the
Archives of Internal Medicine,
and sai(j that two patients, one
with derma tomyositis and the
other with features of dermatomy-
sitis and scleroderma, have “im-
proved greatly” during prolonged
treatment with paba. Thfee pa-
tients with scleroderma alone had
beneficial results, they said.
The doctors explained that der-
matomysitis is a disease asso-
ciated with skin eruption and
muscle deterioration, while scler-
oderma is characterized by hard-
ening and darkening of the skin.
In time, they said, the skin takes
on a shiny, wax-iike appearance.
The patients studied so far
were treated in the university
hospital. The one with combined
features of both skin diseases
had been ill for three years and
was bed-ridden.; The doctors said
that the skireon his left hand was
smooth, shin$, tightly drawn and
reddish brown in color. His legs
also were affected.
The doctors said that dosages
of paba were administered for
34 days and that the patient’s
condition steadily improved. He
was finally discharged and has
been able to continue treatment
at home. j
In a followup of the case, the
doctors found that continued ad-
ministration of paba for five
months gave the man a weight
increase of 34 pounds,., a vet urn
of his appetite and improvement
of the skin condition. His con-
dition is about normal, they said.
The doctors said that the cause
of both diseases is unknown, and
that there has been no accepted
remedy. The diseases are com-
paratively rare, they said.
