Estimates are that between 200,000 and 300,000) Americans, the large majority of, them children under 10, are affect- ed by it at any given time. Children who get it before they are 5 usually die within five years. Individuals who get it in adoles- cence or adulthood usually die the time they are 30, but in meantime they are seriously pled. All victims ultimately die an indirect result of lar dystrophy because disease doesn’t kill of leaves its sufferers prone to dead- ly infections that other peopl might fight off. Researchers at the Neurological Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are giving ‘‘atom-' ic cocktails” to five vietims of the disease—ranging in age from 6 to; 36—in a new attempt to trace its; cause. The patients, admitted to the in-| stitutes’ recently opened clinical) center, include two from Arling-| ton, Va., and one each from Wash-| ington, D, C., Burlington, N. C.,| and Elizabeth City, N. C. Their} names have not been made public,! The doctors emphasize that the! “cocktails” do not constitute a| treatment. But they say the hope is that the studies made possible, with the atomic materials may point a way—possibly a way—to treating the malady which has so far proved unconquerable | by a host of drugs and other treat- | ments. | The “cocktails” consist of a tiny | amount of radioactive potassium I dissolved in water, yielding a tasteless solution. | Potassium, one of the key ele- | ments utilized by the human body, |is believed necessary for the nor- |mal conduction of electricity in tt ! ° ° Case Dismissed DALLAS (#—Former tennis star!
