...your comment (Sept. 21) on what Mr. Herman Seydel is said to have called his "long-sought single cure for arthritis," you take occasion to characterize the American Medical Association as an organization which takes the "attitude that no one should know anything at all about anything which might not be good for him."Were TIME an irresponsible, anti-medical sheet, the statement could be ignored, but I have always felt that TIME, in its discussions of medical matters, is generally sound as well as sympathetic to the problems of the medical profession...

The pain may last for years, or it may return from time to time. Drugs only allay the pain, never cure it. Some surgeons stop the neuralgia by cutting the offending nerve, thus preventing it from carrying its message of pain to the brain. This operation occasionally paralyzes the painful side of the face, causes the features to droop lopsidedly. Other surgeons treat facial neuralgia by injecting alcohol into the nerve, thus stultifying...
