Drugs Relieve Hypertension,
Scientist Says
Drugs which take the place of

•	noted medical scientist said Friday at a postgraduate symposium on hypertension sponsored hy the SC School of Medicine it the Statler Hilton.
Dr. Robert Wilkins, professor of medicine at Boston University and a past president of the American Heart Association, said these thyazide drugs reinforce the effects of other drugs for the relief of high blood pressure.
The use of a combination of se\eral drugs is one of the best forms of treatment of hyperten- I sion. Dr. Wilkins said.

P best-seller for a number of months, the novel was a Book-of - the -Month Club selection. }iovie rights for the work have also been purchased by a film company.
“Ugly American"
His more recent novel. "The Ugly American.” was published in October, 1958.
Written in collaboration with UHpt. William J. Lederer, it also was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection and was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post. Tt also appeared in th® Reader's Digest Condensed Books series.
"The Ugly American” presents Burdick's views on foreign policy. He feels that huge granls and diplomacy - plus can never renlace the personal touch of an American actually working w'ith the people.
His “ugly American” is an American of ugly physical appearance, but one who still endears himself to the natives of the foreign country in which he is working through personal con-

He will cite the major implications of death and its bearing on the consideration of the nature and significance of resurrection.
Sex Was Hush-Hush
“It used to be that sex was a hush-hush subject and spoken about only in whispers, but today the subjects of death and suffering are those that cau>e embarrassment,” he believes.
The Rev. Mr. Doaks believes that death has become a subject w'hich is considered impolite to discuss.
“The contemporary attempt to deny the reality of death is a cause of a great many problems today,” he said.
Substitute \\«>r«ls
“We substitute words such as ‘passed on.’ ‘went to his reward’ or ‘joined that Chapter Eternal in the sky’ in order to avoid mentioning the all too descriptive w'ord, ‘death.’ ” he claims.
He points out that, in their anxiety, most people hold to some vague doctrine of immortality, which is not Christian.
The Christian believes in the hope expressed in the “Doctrine of Ihe Resurrection of the Dead,” he adds.
