It also commonly causes depression, often severe, and sometimes marked by delusions of persecution and suicidal impulses. And reserpine can hasten the death of patients with damaged hearts...

In working days of 14 to 18 hours, she devoted her seemingly inexhaustible energy to the diagnosis and treatment of indigestion, peptic ulcers (in stomach, duodenum and small bowel), upset gall bladders (usually with stones), and ulcerative colitis...
...Medical researchers have been trying for years to prove that people with a particular blood type are especially prone to certain diseases. Example: Type O blood is supposed to run with a high rate of peptic ulcer. Wait, says a hardheaded Swiss, Geneva's Dr. Alexander Manuila, in the A.M.A. Journal. It may be true, but cannot be proved by available data-the claims have been based on inadequate studies and inaccurate statistics...
...Peptic ulcer victims, who have long been condemned by most physicians to insipid Sippy diets,* should throw away their lists of forbidden foods, feel free to eat fried fish and potatoes topped with catchup, if that happens to be what they like.

There are a few human ills to which the average small animal is not heir; cats and dogs do not get tooth cavities, peptic ulcers, stomach cancer, measles or smallpox. But they get nearly every other human complaint, and a few of their own. Some of the commonest for which animals are now treated: arthritis or bursitis (by injections of hydrocortisone), adenoiditis, tonsillitis and undescended testicles (all treated by surgery); respiratory infections (antibiotics). The human-animal parallel is so close that if he has a difficult case many a vet will often talk it over with an M.D.; Dr. McBride...
