The A.M.A.'s house of delegates last week also approved a report by its council on mental health giving a guarded endorsement of the use of hypnosis in medicine, surgery and dentistry.

Sales have gone up more than tenfold since 1951, topped $400 million last year, are heading for $500 million in 1958. Every day almost 10 million U.S. men use aerosol shaving creams, and more than 10 million women put on aerosol hair sprays. The 250 different aerosol products on the market can stop runs in hosiery, smoke bees out of hives, extinguish fires, bandage wounds and deodorize homes, pets or people.
