Cure for Dread Disease Seen By Some Medical Scientists WITH THE AID of modern, drugs medical scientists in Canada, the United States, Britain and in Europe are nearing what they hope is a cure for a killer disease, tuberculous meningitis.

Only four years ago, the disease was considered certain death within six weeks to two months. One of the cases of successful treatment occurred in the Kingston General Hospital where Lloyd Foley, a small boy from Lansdowne, a patient of Dr. R. R. MacGregor, was apparently cured of the dreaded disease.

Lloyd was discharged from hospital over a year after months of hospitalization and has had no recurrence of TB meningitis. Main weapon of small group of medical seientists in fighting, this disease is streptomycin, one of the so-called new wonder drugs. This was used, in conjunction with drugs of the sulpha group, by Dr. MacGregor in treating the Foley lad. With it, about six of every 10 persons stricken with the disease are being kept alive.

However, the researchers are making no great claims of success. An Associated Press dispatch tells of a curly-haired, blond boy of five taken to the National Jewish Hospital, Denver, five Local People Attending Convention AMONG the educationists from various parts of Canada and the United States participating in the 90th annual convention of the Ontario Educational Association in Toronto this week are Dr. R.

Mitsu Kawabe from Japan emphasized his country's spiritual need. By turning back the pages, of history, he reiterated his country's growth in modern history and its reaction to civilization. Approximately 80 years ago, he said, Japan awoke to the conditions around her and sent students to America and Europe who received extensive training and returned to that country with the outcome of civilization but not the core, which is the Christian faith. One of these selected students was Kawabe's father, who became a Christian under the famed Dwight Moody, and because of this, lost his scholarships to the American schools as well as being disinherited because of his faith. Subsequently Mitsu Kawabe and others of the family became Christians.

While reviewing Japan's need of today, Kawabe stated that civilization without Christianity ruined Japan. While proving this to his audience, he recalled the Anglo-Jap Alliance, the Washington Conference and the Big Four meeting, and how this was scrapped and Japan's alliance with Germany, who taught Japanese students modern military strategy under the Hitler regime which subsequated the wars on China, 'America and Great Britain. Japan today is much different than the proud, patriotic country of the yesteryears, with food and other living necessities at a ium. Japan was wrecked by the war with homes, families, schools and cities wasted and ruined. Even now the Japanese soldiers are returning to their homes to find chaos, that their parents and friends are no more, and even worse than that, many Japanese soldiers have no way of returning home, but will undoubtedly starve to death if they haven't done so already.

Rev. Mitsu Kawabe, who is attending Emanuel College in Toronto, is taking post-graduate work, and it is understood that the University of Toronto would confer a Doctor of Divinity degree on Mr. Kawabe, if he will accept it. Last night's service was under the direction of the Light and Life Men's Fellowship with Leslie Clark presiding. Special selections were rendered by Francis Casement and Albert Revell.

out to the meninges, the tissue covering, which it inflames, perhaps working down into the spinal column. THE INFLAMMATION forms adhesions and scarred tissue. These usually set up a block between the brain and the spinal column which the brain supplies with fluid. Doctors working on the problem have found they can stop the sudden spread of TB meningitis if they catch it in time. Their biggest job is to find a substance which, when injected with the streptomycin and accompanying drugs, will either dissolve or prevent the adhesions.

Thus far, their only answer is quick treatment. They must catch a case before the horrible inflammations have set in. ALBERT LEADBEATER, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Leadbeater, Seeleys Bay, died at Kenora on Monday a few hours after coming in contact with a live wire carrying 6,900 volts.

His case was considered hopeless. The new treatments, and nurses caring for him like a baby around the clock kept him alive. He has even shown a little improvement. He seems to be able to hear a few sounds. His blue eyes are open, but they don't see.

He can't move, although his chubby hand gropes aimlessly around his white bed. Will he ever get really well? "We can't say," replies Dr. Allan Hurst, medical director of the hospital. "I'm afraid he was too far gone when he reached here. We can only keep him alive, hoping that some day a way of really curing him will be found." ONLY ONE CASE of TB meningitis has been admitted to the KGH since Lloyd Foley was successfully treated, Dr.

MacGregor said today. The same treatment was tried but the disease was too far advanced in this case for it to be effective. TB meningitis is the greatest cause of death from tuberculosis in children under three. It can strike at any age. The way it works is what makes it so hard to cure.
