Savant Improves | surface | these organisms regarded as harmless Listless Students by Fighting Disease. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. “Laziness” may be a menaeing or- | ganic disease. 4 Such, at least, is the conclusion of Dr. A. B. Jackson of the Howard Uni- versity faculty, based on experiments with college students. By medical treatment alone, Dr.| Jackson reports, he was able to change | listless college boys behind in their | grade because they lacked the energy for mental application into ambitious, hard-working students in good standing. He sees also a_possible vague relation- ship between laziness and cancer, in that both may result from a common- fundamental cause. There is no evi- dence that the former actually is likely to develop into the latter, but the “lazy" college boy of 19 may be more apt than his fellows to become the cancer victim at 60. Habit Rules Some. Dr. Jackson does not claim that his!| | theory—sustained chiefly by impirical { results nnd advanced caut iously—is ap- plicable to all cases of “laziness,” nor | does he deny the probable force of habit in producing some cases. He developed his theory while medical advisor to the Howard University students. Over sev- eral vears. he says, students would come to him with the complaints of general lassitude, sleepiness, inability to study for long periods, poor grades, tired feel- ing on awakening in the morning, in- different attitude and a general “don’t care” feeling. A casual medical examination, he says, would have revesled nothing wrong and the probable diagnosis would have been that the students simply were constitutionally lazy. But he found one abnormality common to nearly every case—the asthenic heart that beat feebly as if it were tired. Rigid exami- nation in many cases revealed infections about the teeth, tonsils or colon. Some showed & definite tendency toward tuberculosis, but all these were elimi- nated from the group upon which Dr. Jackson bases his conclusions. Victims of Infection. He concluded that these “lazy” stu- dents might be victims of low-grade in- fections, often 100 obscure to be lo-| cated, which were working continuously | to reduce the efficiency of the individu- | al without producing any diagnosable illness. Sometimes even if the offend- mz organisms were found they would d over as types of bacteria gen- erl ly considered harmless to the hu- man body. They are often described as “the normal body flora,” found in great abundance in the colon. Most of them eventually arrive in the colon, regard- Jess of their point of origin, Dr. Jack- son holds. This becomes their strong- hold, where they exert a toxifying e{-‘ fect on various body cells over long| periods. | The way to cure “laziness,” Dr. Jack- | son concluded, was to get rid of them | or protect the body against the toxins | they were producing. Previous work of , Dr. Jackson on acute rheumatism, which he believes due essentially to the | same cause, had shown the value of | various magnesium salts as & detoxify- | ing agent. His own work, together with | that of various European experimenters, | point to the conclusion that these in some way increase the efficiency of all | the body cells to ward off toxic attacks. Makes Careful Search. In treating the college students Dr. Jackson first made a careful search for foci of infection, such as tonsils and teeth, and eliminated as many of these | s possible. Then he administered mag- nesium preparations. In very few cases was he actually able to find a toxic ef- | fect manifested by other organic symp- toms, but he holds this probably was | due to the youth of the patients. Their body cells were mble to ward off the attacks, but were becoming “tired out” | in_doing so. “In_every single case so treated,” | says Dr. Jackson 4n describing the ex- | periment in the Medical Journal and | Record, “the Tesponse to treatment was remarkable and the students became fortified for their work.” Bright stu- dents who actually were failing in their work because of general lassitude and the “don't care” atiitude developed am- bition and soon stood high in their | classes, But, Dr. Jackson belleves, the impli- cations from the results may be of far | more significance than appears on the| He is accumulating evidence | to show that cencer itself may result| from the slow, insidious attacks of| and he has brought about notable im- provements in cancer cases by the same treatment. He stresses that he is mot claiming any such thing as a cancer cure. None of Cases Cured. None of his cases have been cured, | but their general physical condition. aside from the cancer itself, has been improved and the pain from which | they suffered has been reduced.
