TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
Your Health and Its Care
BY DR. WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

PHOBIA, PHOBIA, WHO
Our son. aged 15 months Is.
afraid of darkness. So until he
decides to go asleep we have -o
keep a light
on, not only
before bed
time but in the
night if he
awakes. He
was frightened
terribly one
night by a dog.
The naval doc
tor pronounc
ed it a phobia
and said there
Is nothing we
Dr. Brady can do about
it. But it is getting on our nerves
and we wonder if you could
help us.' I have tried turning the
light off, but the baby only
screams until we turn it on to
keep the neighbors from com
plaining. (Mrs. ......)
Ask your son to accept the
sympathy (believe it or not) and
the understanding (now you
know I can't be serious) of 01'
Doc Brady, for I, too, have a
fair assortment of phobias,
haven't you?
A phobia is any unreasonable,
Insane or morbid fear or dread.
It is not, say, fear of snakes,
for as a rule that fear is readily
overcome by education the
child or adult who knows some
thing of snakes always fears
them less than the ignorant child
or adult. Nor is it fear, say, of
leprosy,, tuberculosis or other
"dread" disease physicians,
nurses and others who know
about such diseases fear them
less than ignorant people. .
When I say ignorant of course
I mean ignorant.
In passing I beg to state that
eryophobla (fear of cold, fear of
freezing) is a reasonable fear,
whereas psychro-phobia (fear j
weather, change of weather,
dampness, drafts, exposure not
involving frostbite or freezing) is
morbid, irrational, unreasonable.
' Now one of my phobias is fear
of height (acrophobia)or fear of
precipices (cremnophobla) one
rung up the ladder above the
second floor (In this country) or
the first floor In England well,
I positively dare not do It, so

Members of the armed forces atatloned In remote spots welcome a
visit of one of the 120 units of the USO Mobile and Maneuvers Services

HASN'T A PHOBIA?
then with the screens,
storm
sash or awnings we can't reach
with a nice low step ladder.
From the language this moth
er uses (n describing the baby's
fear of the dark I infer that the
baby is not the only one in the
household who has a phobia.
The baby was "frightened ter
ribly one night by a dog." May
It not be that mother was fright
ened by the dog too, and her
fear frightened the baby?
The naval doctor Is right
there Is nothing much you can
do about a phobia, but try to
grin and bear it.
Keep a wee light in or near
the baby's sleeping place always
(I mean if the baby seems afraid
of the dark). No tricks. Let every
one ignore the baby's phobia
Never, never speak of it or per
mit anv discussion of It in tne
child's presence. The thing is
to submerge the phobia ana car-
rv on without making a fuss
about it.
Show me a human being who
has no phobia and I'll show you
a good actor.

Brewers' Yeast Is
Now Used In Drugs
Chicago (U,R) Brewers' yeast,
a beer-making ingredient that al
ways was wasted after it had
served its primary purpose in
the production of the "poor
man's champagne," is now being
used in drugs fqr the fighting
men and as new fat-building
foods for dairy cattle.
.. William M. O'Shea, executive
secretary of the Small Brewers
committee, said that more than
50,000,000 pounds of yeast that
formerly was thrown away after
its first usage, is now being re
claimed . annually and turned
over to the nation's pharma
ceutical concerns.
