Abstract: This invention relates to use of probiotics, particularly P acidilactici and S boulardii, for use in conjunction with steroids and other immune suppressor agents to ameliorate symptoms of autoimmune diseases, especially disease symptoms arising from the body's production of antibodies against autologous blood cells. The practice of the invention sustains ameliorative response associated with immune suppressor agents while lowering the amount of immune suppressor agents required for treatment.

Abstract: Embodiment include methods for treating cats and dogs with inflammatory bowl disease or inflammatory-like bowl disease or immune mediated hemolytic anemia or atopic dermatitis which are being treated with steroids or immune suppressors which involves the step of administering to the animal a probiotic comprised of P. acidilactici and S. boulardii microorganisms for the purpose of reducing the amount of steroid or immune suppressor required to ameliorate the symptoms of the diseases or conditions.

Abstract: A fishing reel is described whose spool has a pair of first and second flanges, the first flange located at the side for drawing out a fishing line for casting and being smaller in diameter than the second flange. An annular edge is provided at said first flange outer circumference projecting forward of a reel body. The spool slidably supports a sliding cylinder having a fishing line guide in close contact with the projecting edge, so that a change of bulk of line wound onto the spool allows the sliding cylinder to slide, whereby contact resistance applied to the line which is drawn out in contact with the first flange is controlled so as not to increase correspondingly with the length of the drawn-out line.

Abstract: A spinning type fishing reel having a bail arm which is rotatably mounted at both ends thereof to diametrically opposite sides of a rotary frame so that an intermediate portion of the bail arm may turn over and pass across the front of a spool in swinging motion between two positions where a fishing line is respectively guided to be wound up, and released. The point around which the bail arm swings is made movable longitudinally of the reel, thereby allowing the bail arm to be turned over by elongating the distance between a crest of the intermediate portion of the bail arm and the basic position where the arm is supported for guiding therethrough the line to be wound onto the spool.

Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement for shifting a bail arm in a longitudinal direction relative to the spool of a spinning type fishing reel. A spinning type fishing reel generally has a bail arm mounted at both its opposite ends around a rotary frame so that an intermediate portion of the arm is swingable across the front of a spool. The swing axis of respective ends of the bail arm are made slant backwardly of the reel with respect to a plane lying perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary frame so that the intermediate portion may, when swinging, be shifted radially forwardly of the spool.
