EIGHT MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 2, 1944 1 Your Health and Its Care BY OR WILLIAM BRADY. M. D. Reader! should addrtti Inquiries toi Or William Brady 265 El Camino. Bavarly Hilli Calil. SPURIOUS NERVOUS EXHAUSTION For vears 1 have been teach-i with a diagnosis of neuras- ine. with insignificant success, that a diagnosis of nervoui ex haustion, nerv ous weakness, nervous fatigue or neurasthen nia is a trick diagnosis and that if the pa tient, not the I f 1 friends, is the I ff V victim of the I deception ho or ... 1 , n e ought to Or Brad? know better. Tor yars I have been getting re ports like this: If my trouble Isn't neurasthe nlt, then what Is It? The best doctors specialists, etc., etc , etc. Well, that stops me. For all my bombast I'm not much good as a long-distance diagnostician. AU I can say is what I say here. The discerning reader may get , onc who purports to have neu some idea from the interesting . rasth.nia comment in a cnapier on muu pellagra in McLester's Nutrition and Diet In Health and Diseata, (Saunders, '39): thenla." Oh, well, Dr. J. M. JIcLester was just a young fellei when he made that observation FroDaoiy the eminent physicians who sent the pellagrins to the hospital for "neurasthenia'' would dismiss his observation as that of an in' experienced youngster. Mortality statistics indicate that there are perhaps two thou sand deaths ascribed to pellagra In a year in a southern state. If pellagra Is entered on the death certificate In that many Instances we may safely assume that sev eral thousand deaths due pri marily to pellagra are certified as due to heart failure, pneumo nia, exhaustion, etc., and if so many people die of oellagra in one state it is safe to assume that hundreds of thousands of people have mild pellagra, whether It is so diagnosed or not This does not mean that pel lagra is what really hils every- "The disabilities of these, patients include anorexia (lack of appetite), diarrhea, easy exhaustion, nervous in stability or mild mental de pression, imd peripheral neuritis. Ofter the tongue is red . . . glossitis (sore tongue) . . . sometimes lit tle more than anorexia, loss ' of weight and change of per sonality. This was empha sized by J. B. McLester, who made the significant ob servation" Now listen, If some eminent spe cialist has kidded you along with the trick diagnosis of neu rasthenia ". . , the significant obser vation that an appreciable number of pellagrins In the Hillman Hospital, of Bir mingham (Alabama) gave a history of having been ad mitted in previous years QIIBSTIONH & ANSWERS Mainline Versus lnlson You 0uggt8tAd to a reader who won dered whether amoking causes or ag gravates gnll-bladder trouble, thut excessive smoking may cause "duo denal uloer complex" and so It might be well to try rutting out smoking for six weeks. Does thla Imply that It takes six weeks to get alt 1'ie nicotine out or the system? (It. L. M.) Answer No. Only that It takes that long ror nature to repair damage, ir It Is still repairable. Even lr nicotine were the poloon or harmrul element In tobacco or tobacco smoke- (which I do not believe probably t wonld be entirely excreted from the system within 48 hours, at loiviest, after tne Individual discontinues taking it. The same holds true of alcohol only more so. It Isn't Just Immediate poisoning, but rather the damage done to body oella, that accounts for the morblb effects of tobaccr- or alcohol. Congenital Please tell me about congenital hip disease. (A. M. L. Answer" Congenital means present at birth. Congenital hip diseases or dislocation Is a faulty development of head of thigh bone and Its socket. Earlier In Infancy corrective ortho pedlo treatment la started the bet ter the ultimate result. Krdiicltig Have you a ttduclw diet that Is sfe? (Mrs. L. J. W.) Answer Yes. Bend stamped envel ope bearing your address, aak for pamphlet "How to lose Weight." (Copyright, 1044, John P. ume Co.) DEWEY WELCOMED HOME TO ALBANY; HUMMER Election Proves Unity of Nation, Nominee Says In Brief Talk. VOLUNTEERS AID J! "Moving In Or Out?" Is "the question the man or woman on the street asks Vera Humphrey, energetic chairman of tho Junior Red Cross as she stands at the door of the little Junior Red Cross office In the Holly Theater building. "Neither," she laughs. "Just cleaning up, want a Job?" After the reply Is, "Sure. Ill help, what do you need?" Vera always has an answer: "What do you have Junior Red Cross can use most anything." So, out of many conversations such as this. Interested citizens are redecorating the whole shop. AU morning, Thursday, friends found Lloyd Rupp, former labor councilor and now Central Point restaurateur, covered with paint, kalsomining tho walls, to make good a promise he made at Red Cross meeting last spring, Young Vern Livingston, aged 9, faithful apprentice, the envy of every other Jeep, was swab bing up ofter him and painting when he got a chance. All last week the work went merrily on. Mrs. Edward Carlon and Vera, with the occasional help of Georgia Ann Hussong and Leom Chapman, painted shelves, desks and chairs with Mr. Carlon giv ing free advice as he loaned lad dcrs and floor covering. Nighl lights revealed Wallace llasklns. veteran of World War I. his wife Bertha, an enthusiastic Junior Red Cross worker, cutting lino leum, lining shelves, and bracing tables loaned by the carpenters' union. The shop Is full of donations. Porch chairs from Eleanor Holmes are being painted marine blue and turkey red, matching tho shelves inside. A lamp from Mary Kuehlthau, transformed with Red Cross stickers, and an electric clock from the C. Y. Tcngwalds are among the treas ured possessions of the Jeeps. As soon as the place Is dry again and the window ready for some attractive displays such as "Christmas in July for Overseas Men," or "Recreation Kits for Prisoners of War." Ray Harrison will put tip a smart cellophane curtain. Display mirrors and1 show fixtures from the Law-! rence Jewelry Shop will make effcctlvo the Jeep posters by Mary Halvorsen and murals of the high school artist group. The committee expect the shop will be ready for business again next week because of the help of all of these friends. Mnny adults who have stopped by the little Red Cross shop seem to be enthused; they go home and search the attic for things to help. Others who have given their bit of time and thought to supervising the young people have their own satisfactions and rewards. They are teaching at the three "Jeep Shops," Junior high, the Hobby Shop and the Tnlent high "Jeep Shop," and next week every afternoon at Headquarters, where our Juniors seem to get so much fun out of giving tip vacation play to make things to help those big brothers overseas. Albany, N. Y., July 1 (U.R) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Repub lican presidential nominee, told a cheering crowd, welcoming him back to the state capitol to day, that this country will prove during the forthcoming political campaign "that the United States is the most united nation in all the world." Speaking from the steps of New York s historic capitol building, Dewey said the coun-1 try will prove to our Allies and : enemies "that we can argue about the things dear to us and at the same time fight a war all the harder." "The United States Is almost the only nation in the world that would risk an election dur ing a war," he said. "We are ready to risk an election be cause we want to make it clear that we can argue about the things dear to us and at the same time fight the war all the harder. "We have the greatest system In the world because we can ar gue and keep our shoulders to the wheel." Dewey said an election during a war year proved that the country was "strong and united." He spoke only briefly after being introduced to a huge crowd gathered in front of the capitol steps. Republican Leader Benjamin Fcinberg, of the state senate, in troduced Dewey as "the next president of the United States." He said that all the country knows of Dewey's courage and ability. The governor, Mrs. Dewey and members of his official family were greeted by hundreds of peo ple gathered In Union depot. When he stepped from his spe cial car, two bands blared and shouts of "We want Dewey" went up from the crowd. En route to the capitol In an automobile. Dewey waved to woll-wisnors gathered along the streets. Sgt. E. P Conway of the New York state police estimat ed the crowd at 10,000. On the Radio Chains STATIONS!
