RMd Wwtbrook Nifkt Scientists Fight Diseases, But Boyle Invents New One By HAL BOYIJE NEW YORK labors to bring forth a new miracle drug every day, but my alms are more modest. All I want to do is give mankind a new miracle disease every few years, a disease everybody can enjoy.

The trouble with a miracle drug seems to be that as soon at it whips one disease it sometimes gives you two other diseases that require the discovery of two more new miracle drugs to cure. How long can this go on? Drugs Ineffective That's the nice thing about my new miracle disease for the cur rent season. No modern miracle drug has any effect on it, but the disease itself. If treated properly, will prevent you from catching more senous, aisaonng ailments. In this respect it is like the common cold or virus two fine old miracle diseases that have lost their social usefulness because people now suspect you are lying if you claim you have them and stay home from work.

Nothing ears out a miracle disease like suspicion. That is why I suggest you catch my new miracle Boyle Epidemic Spasmodic Seizure, 01 Bess for as soon as possible. Get its benefits now. It can't last long in a world were every man doubts the other fellow's symptoms and suspects his motives. Devil's Grip To give credit where credit is due, I got the idea for Bess from Dr.

waiter u. Alvarez, tne internationally known physician. Dr. Alvarez In a recent article described a new ailment which he himself has suffered from called The Devil's Grip. It is characterized by a terrible back pain, head- cm 11, shivering, nausea and dizzyness.

The title. The Devil Grip, drew me at once. It was Just the kind of attention-attracting name I needed for my new miracle disease of 1953-54. But after all, it is a real disease, and who wants one ofj those? Pain in Neck Life today periodically gives everyone a terrific pain In the neck, however, and who doesn't also shiver, feel dizzy and nauseat ed in tnese mis results in boredom, and causes a tired, run down feeling that can best cured by a comfortable siege of brooding In bed. So I thought of naming my new successor to virus and the com mon cold False Devil's Grip.

But decided "false" would keep it from widespread popularity. Then I sounded out such names as Hellburn Warp, Angel Fever, purgatory Flutters and Wishbone Cramp. Somehow they didn't quite ring true. Throwing modesty aside, I decided to name my new miracle disease after its discoverer. which would give it a ring of authenticity.

Go To Bed How can you tell when you have Boyle's Epidemic Spasmodic Bess? Well, Bess has exactly the same symptoms as the common cold or virus except for two things, your nose doesn't run, and you yawn oftener from an overwhelming sense of ennui. You go to bed when it hits you and you recover from Bess when you get tired of it. You treat it by eating an old vitamin-packed miracle drug known as beefsteak whenever you are hungry. Bess is a protective disease. It will protect you from pneumonia, overwork, or boring, cocktail par ties.

It will protect you from being hit by a taxicab. What other miracle disease can make these 'claims? Be The First Be the first in your crowd to catch Bess. Win the social acclaim and respect that reward anyone who is the first to fall victim of a strange, fascinating, mysterious and comfortaoie anmeni. ai wuu 1 be long until some jealous termite in our society passes the word around 'Have you noticed how mucn Boyle's Epidemic Spasmodic Sei zure resembles wnat we uoeu call laziness?" Then we'll have to discover a ew miracle disease. Boy Admits He Shot His Dad LAKE ZURICH, III.

16-year-old boy who admitted shooting his father to death Sunday night told depuUes "If I hadn't shot him, he would have killed us all."

John then came out of his bedroom with a shotgun, Mrs. Fenner continued, and told his father to 'get Fenner grabbed for the gun and John fired, she said.
