THE COVINGTON NEWS (Be«t Cowrap: News, Pictoras, aad T—
Goldwater, LB J Both
May Visit Georgia
ATLANTA (GPS)—Pre
sent indications are that
both U. S. Sen. Barry Gold
water, the newly-nominated
Republican presidential can
didate, and his opponent-to
be, President Lyndon B
Johnson, will come to Geor
gia during the campaign and
deliver major speeches.
Here’s where the indica
tions come from:
Before returning home
from San Francisco, Georgia
delegates who helped Gold
water win the GOP nomina
tion said the senator has
promised them informally to
address a big state-wide ral
ly in Atlanta sometime dur
ing the campaign.
Atlanta’s Roscoe Pickett,
the new Georgia national
committeeman, said Gold
water has indicated a will
ingness to speak in Atlanta
on a date to be set later.
Pickett said plans for the
“tough” job of trying to
pull Georgia out of its tra
ditional Democratic column
this year (this has never
been done before) will be
started at a state-wide meet-
Mony Drugs Useful During Pregnancy
By The Medical
Association of Georgia
It is frequently advisable
to give drugs to an expect
ant mother. They are given
for various reasons, depend
ing on the patient and her
condition.
Most patients begin to take
iron and vitamin prepara
tions during the early stages
of pregnancy. Extra calcium
may also be given. These
drugs are for the health of
the unborn child as well as
the mother.
Some expectant mothers
suffer from nausea and
drugs may be given to re
lieve this symptom.
Since the expectant moth
er carries her baby within
her body, drugs given her
are likely to affect the baby.
The unfortunate experience
with thalidomide was an
example of this. Fortunately,
however, the vast majority
of drugs used for pregnant
women, or for anyone for
that matter, have stood the
test of time. Their undesir
able side-effects are mild or
negligible.
To understand why this
is so, consider what happens
to a drug before it can be
prescribed by a physician in
the routine way. Drugs are
either synthetic materials or
extracts from plants or ani
mals. Once a material is
suspected of having a useful
drug in it, chemists try to
isolate the active ingredient
from the material. If they
are successful, the usual next
step is to give it to pharma
cologists so that they can
study the effect of the ingre
dient on living tissues.
The next step is to screen
the ingredient in tests with
both normal and diseased
animals. If these studies
suggest that the ingredient
may prove useful in man,
the study is continued.
These tests in animals may
take many, many months.
Scientists try to find out
what the ingredient does,
how it works and what its
toxic effects are. If it con
sidered potentially useful
and apparently not harmful
to man, it is tested in normal
volunteers. It is given in
small doses and the volun
teers are carefully watched
for anv undesirable reac-

And here at home, State
Democratic Committee
Chairman J. B. Fuqua, of
Augusta, predicted that
President Johnson will visit
Georgia at least once during
the upcoming presidential
campaign. Said he:
“Yes, I think the President
will be in Georgia during
the campaign—at least once
and perhaps more than once.
He has never overlooked
Georgia."
Meanwhile, specu 1 a t io n
runs high as to how Geor
gians will vote in the No
vember presidential elec
tion. Both Chairman Fuqua
and Gov. Carl E. Sanders
express beliefs that the ma
jority of Georgians will vote
Democratic as they have al
ways done. But, judging
from reports being heard
throughout the state, this
conceivably could turn out
to be that year that was for
the Republican Party in
Georgia.
tions. If they occur, the drug
is, of course, stopped. The
action of the drug in the
body is studied by observing
the volunteers and by taking
periodic samples of their
blood, urine and other body
fluids. If the drug passes
these tests, the next step is
to try it in volunteer patients
with the disease for which
it was created. There are
many clinical research faci
lities in this country where
this stage of testing is done.
If, after these tests, the
drug is deemed worthy of
further testing, it is tested
in thousands of patients.
Investigators of these new
drugs are certified by the
Food and Drug Administra
tion, a federal agency. The
FDA reviews reports from
the manufacturers and in
vestigators before licensing a
drug for the market. Most
drugs don’t make the grade.
The ones that do have passed
rigid tests.
There is, of course, some
risk in using any drug. The
risk is naturally greater
when new drugs are used.
But this risk is extremely
small in the case of many
frequently used, time-tested
drugs. The physician weighs
the risk against the advan
tages of using any drug.
Suggestions To
Ease Nosebleed
Several suggestions for
treating nosebleeds are of
fered in a recent issue of
Today’s Health, the maga
zine of the American Medi
cal Association —
Have the victim sit up un
less he is faint.
Apply large, cold, wet
towels over the face, nose
and back of the head and
neck.
Pinch the nostrils together.
The bleeding point is usu
ally near the tip of the nose.
Keep the victim quiet. He
should not cough, blow his
nose or walk about during
or soon after a nosebleed.
Even talking or laughing
should be avoided. He
should breathe through his
mouth.
If bleeding is severe or
prolonged, call a physician.

“ENGINUKING” LUMBER
Strata ratings and a “pre-
Shrinking” process can
transform lumber into an .
engineering material.
In the case of Southern
Pine framing, strurtural po
tential is made known ih ad
vance to the designer
through comprehensive
stress ratings which cover
all loads and stresses to
which the lumber ihay be
subjected.
“Pre-shrinking" — also
standardized in the manu
facture of Southern Pine —
is accomplished by proper
drying before lumber da sur
faced to final dimensions.
This assures uniform sizes,
added strength and overall
precision.
