Dutch Protest
Vandalsim

Amsterdam (JTA) — Some
2,000 people turned out last
week for a silent protest
against the desecration of 25
tombstones at the old
Sephardic burial ground in
Middelburg, the capital of
the Dutch province of
Zeeland.
The vigil took place at the
graveyard on the night of
Sept. 1, about a week after
the vandalism took place.
The desecrated
gravestones had been daub-
ed with swastikas and anti-
Semitic slogans such as
"Heil Hitler."
A group calling itself Nazi
Front Zeeland claimed
responsibility, but police
have not yet found who is
behind this group.
It is assumed that the
perpetrators must be well
acquainted with Mid-
delburg, since this cemetery
— where the last burial took
place in 1721 — is nearly
hidden behind backyards
and gardens so that even in-
habitants of the town are
often not aware of its exis-
tence.

Drug Developed
At Hebrew U.

Two Canadian companies
have signed an exclusive,
worldwide licensing agree-
ment for an anti-epileptic
drug developed at the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. A
patent application for the
drug has been issued in the
United States,
The drug is expected to pro-
vide 24-hour therapeutic
blood levels of sodium
vaiproate with once-daily oral
administrations. The once-
daily dosage is an aid to tak-
ing medication faithfully.
This is critical to good seizure
control. Morover, the controll-
ed release feature can help
prevent side effects by pro-
moting smoother absorption
of the drug into the blood
without high peak levels.
The licensing arrangement
was entered into between the
Hebrew University's Yissum
Research Development Com-
pany in Israel and Canguard
Health Technologies Inc. of
Vancouver, B.C., and its
strategic corporate partner,
Pharmascience Inc. of Mon-
treal. The new product to be
produced and sold by
Canguard and Pharmas-
cience is called Nuroval SR, a
novel sustained-release form
of the popular anti-epileptic
agent, sodium vaiproate.

THESE DAYS, ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST
RETURNS YOU CAN GET COMES FROM AN
INVESTMENT WE MADE IN 1912.

Over 80 years ago, when 35

neighbors pledged to build a hospital

on a patch of barren desert and care

for people afflicted with tubculosis,

some saw it as nothing more than a

good intention. A gamble, at best.

But those involved had a differ-

ent vision. They knew that in time

their efforts would pay off.

And indeed they did. Because

from this goodwill came one of today's

leading research and medical facilities.
