Dull, heavy pains in the back

and between the shoulder blades
causes many people to lose sleep
and become irritable. Often pain
killers produce only temporary
relief and as a result a person i
finds it difficult to get thorugh i

Modern Chiropractic care gets,

from such problems.

Talmadge Lauds
Freedom Stand
Os Greek People
“Perhaps at no time in history i
have we had more of a need for
men of good will, and for leaders
of unwavering devotion to God
and country . . . and I am proud
to state that in the world struggle
against communism, the brave
people of Greece stand on the side
of freedom.’’
Thus declared U.S. Sen. Her
man E. Talmadge at a banquet
honoring Archbishop Lakovos,
' ranking primate of the Greek
Orthodox Church in North and
South America, held in conjunc
tion with the Fifth Diocesan Dis
trict Clerky-Laity and Philopto
chos Conference in Savannah.
Some 200 other clergymen and
lay leaders of the Greek Church
from five Southern states attend
ed the five-day conference.
“Strife and discontent are cons
tant companions, both at home
and abroad,” Sen. Talmadge said.
“All around us, we see manifesta
tions of immorality and disorder
that threatens the security of our
■ nation and the freedom of men
' and women everywhere . . . To
i day, the free world is threatened
i by Godless totalitarianism.
I “In 1939, only about eight per
• I ment of the world’s people were
subjected to Communism. To
i day. almost 40 per cent of the
। world’s population live under
I Communism, with another 10
■ per cent pressured, and subvert
■ ed. and undermined. A billion
and a half people are ruled by
■ Communism, paying homage not
। to God. but to the State.
■ | “And lam proud to state that
lin the world struggle against
; Communism, the brave people of
. Greece stand on the side of free
। dom."
; Continuing in the same vein,
: the Georgia senator and former
; governor said:
“The people of Greece have
never surrendered to an evil
force. They have been valuable
allies to America through the
course of two world wars. They
have always been staunch defend
ers of freedom, and Greece today
stands in the forefront of oppo-
sition to the spread of Commun
ism. Greece has always been a
loyal friend to America . . . and
is a loyal friend to America to
day.”

Hope For 13 Million
Victims of Arthritis
Arthritis, the nation’s No. 1 crippier, affects 13,000,000 people and
costs the nation about $2 billion yearly. Contrary to popular belief,
it is not a disease of old age alone. In one form or another it may
strike people from 20 to 50, but it can occur at any age. Strangely
enough, it occurs far more often in women than in men.
Is there hope for sufferers of 1
this painful disease? There cer
tainly is, according to The Ar
thritis Foundation which be-
I lieves that “the question is no
longer whether arthritis will be
controlled, but when.”
This is the view, too, of one of
i the country’s leading physicians
in the arthritic field. Reporting
recently in Today's Health, a
publication of the American
Medical Association, Dr. John L.
Decker, Chief of the Arthritis
and Rheumatism Branch of the
i National Institute of Arthritis
| and Metabolic Diseases (NIAMD)
i says:
“While there is no cure as yet
for rheumatoid arthritis, mod
ern medicine has an array of ef
fective defensive measures to
greatly reduce its ravages. With
early diagnosis and proper medi
cal care, nine out of 10 patients
are benefited, and seven out of
10 avoid severe disablement.”
The basic treatment program
for sufferers, says Dr. Decker,
consists of drugs, rest and exer
cise. It may come as a surprise
to some that aspirin is cited by
: Dr. Decker as the most useful
j drug known in the treatment of
I rheumatoid arthritis, the most
painful and crippling form of the
disease.
“Since rheumatoid arthritis is
; usually chronic, lasting years or
a lifetime, toxic drugs are
avoided as far as possible,” Dr.
Decker reports. “The patient is
started on large doses of aspirin.
Scoffed at by some because it is
inexpensive and doesn’t require
a prescription, aspirin is the
most useful drug in the treat
ment of rheumatoid arthritis,

my Training Center, Infantry, re

maximum 500 points on the test,
thus becoming the 129th member
of the exclusive “500 Club” at Ft.

Pvt. Wooten was graduated

and was originally developed for
the specific purpose of treating
the disease.”
The noted physician reports
further that “NIAMD-supported
studies have shown that the ef
fects of aspirin are not limited
to its capacity to relieve pain but
that it also has a significant anti
inflammatory and fever-reducing
action. This finding has consider
able clinical importance for the
physician now has reason to
avoid agents which entail higher
risks,” he adds.
Dr. Decker’s advice to arthritic
sufferers is to shun quacks and
self-treatment, to see a doctor
at the first sign of the ailment
persistent pain, stiffness and
swelling in one or more joints—
and to cooperate in the treat
ment. In the meantime let us
hope that this crippling public
enemy’s days are indeed num
bered.
