Developed by two Winthrop chemists, Dr. Sydney Archer and Dr. Noel Albertson, the drug has the chemical name pentazocine and is trade-named Talwin. In six years, it has been tested on 12,000 patients and has relieved severe pain associated with surgery, injuries, cancer, childbirth, bone diseases arthritis and dental conditions. The pa- tients obtained about as much relief a they would have from morphine, but did not require increasing doses. Th side effects, such as nausea and dizziness, were usually mild.

Naturally, this is causing some pain for planemakers. Lockheed, whose ten-passenger JetStar was the first of the corporate jets, sold 20 of the $1,500,000 planes last year, is doing no better so far in 1967.

In a few cases, the response is so fast and catastrophic that it is called anaphylactic shock, a violent reaction usually associated with the introduction of foreign protein into the system. A patient thus afflicted may die within minutes...
...major concern of youngsters of both sexes, though most programs try to postpone extended treatment of the seamy side of sex-VD, abortion, perversion-until a positive image has been established in the youngster's mind. Girls tend to worry about the risk of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth ("Can't we just adopt a baby?" they often...
