...rigidity, forward-falling posture, hasty gait and "pill-rolling" movements of the fingers. As with most diseases of which the basic causes are unknown, there is a yard-long list of drugs that have been tried; some give modest relief, but all fall far short of cure. Even radical brain surgery usually relieves only some of the symptoms. Now a new drug has been found that is more effective in most cases than earlier medicines and promises real progress in future Parkinsonism treatment, once it is thoroughly tested. Unfortunately, it has already touched off a flurry of premature hope among...

Many black families know about children who "can't think right" because of the wrong kind of food; a Dpeartment of Agriculture worker said last summer that somewhere between 20 and 25 per cent of all black children in central Alabama suffer brain damage by the time they are five years old because of protein deficiency. Adult Negroes show the effect of another kind of malnutrition. A diet based on fat and carbohydrate produces bloated, formless women, and men who die twice as often of heart disease as whites...
