22 October 31, 1975 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Weizmann Scientists Find Help for Trees, Migraine Headaches REHOVOT — Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science have found a way of using tobacco which may be helpful in improving the qualities of citrus trees and fruit. They say tobacco cells can encourage the growth of orange cells in tissue cul- ture, which promises a new approach to producing or- anges and other plants. According to Prof. Esra Galun, head of the Insti- tute's department of plant genetics, one of the prob- lems in developing improved varieties of oranges has been an almost complete lack of citrus strains with characteristics suitable for breeding into presently cul- tivated oranges. Further- more, even if such traits were readily available, they would be difficult to intro- duce into the most popular "seedless ." varieties. The use of plant tissue SAM BARNETT AND HIS ORCHESTRA 968-2563 culture may now provide solution to both these dif- ficulties, since cells with mutated characteristics can be conveniently pro- duced artificially. The end product is a whole plant capable of sur- viving in the field. The Institute has also found that a drug intro- duced to treat arthritis is ef- fective in relieving both mig- raine headaches and menstrual pains. In their work with mig- raine sufferers — among whom women outnumber men by five to one — Prof. Hans R. Lindner and Dr. Russia to Resume Sudan Shipments? NEW YORK — The So- viet Union has reportedly agreed to resume the ship- ment of military spare parts to Sudan, some of which had already started to ar- rive. Moscow ordered a suspen- sion in 1971, when Sudanese President Jaafar al-Nu- meiry accused the Russians of helping Sudan's Com- munist Party in its shor- tlived coup against him. essitimass t sisesitelissemos THE SIGN FACTORY All Types of Signs You Need to Be Noticed 2 0 0, / Discount on Magnetic Signs thru Nov. with coupon 398-3210 22626 Woodward, Ferndale, Mich. 48220 SALE Uriel Zor, working with hos- pitals in Jaffa and Tel Aviv, tested 26 patients with flu- fenamic acid, a drug used in the treatment of diseases of the joints, such as arthritis. In the case of all eight patients who received the drug during their mig- raine warning or "aura" period, no further symp- toms developed. The oth- ers received their doses after the attack was un- derway, and all except one reported slight headaches only. Moreover, the nau- sea, vomiting and dizzi- ness which often accom- pany migraine headaches were also alleviated. The drug also has fewer side effects than present mig- raine drugs. In another study, 40 women with severe symp- toms of monthly dysmenor- rhea were given flufenamic acid. More than 80 percent reported complete disap- pearance of symptoms, 12 percent found partial relief, with only four percent re- porting no improvement. While flufenamic acid is available in pharmacies in Adat Shalom Women Plan Study Series on Children Oil Cutoff to Israel Threat Revealed Adat Shalom Sisterhood will sponsor a mini-educa- tion series, "Children: Yours and Mine," Nov. 5, 12, 19 and 26 in the synagogue youth lounge.
