THE MENOPAUSE
Many women ask me all sorts
of questions about the meno
pause. Will they lose their sex
ual interest, will they get fat
and dumpy,
will they lost
the love of
their husband,
will they go
crazy, will
they get un
bearable flush
es, or will they
get cancer?
Women puz
zling over such
conditions would do well to send
25 cents to the Public Affairs
Committee, of 22 East 38th st.
New York City, for an excellent
pamphlet on "Understanding
Your Menopause." It was pre
pared by Stella Applebaum and
Dr. Nadina Kavinoky.
As they say, so much of the
fear that women now have in
regard to the menopause is un
justified. Many women just stop
menstruating, and that is all.
The only thing -then that the
woman loses is her ability to
menstruate and to bear children.
To many a woman this is rated
as a blessing because, for the
first time in her married life,
she doesn"t have to worry about
getting pregnant. As a result, she
is often a better sexual partner
than she ever was before! A
woman does not have to lose her
sexual responsiveness grant
ing that she ever had much. If
she never had much, she is likely
to use the menopause as an ex
cuse to keep her husband away.
But if she always was a good
sexual partner, and if she is still
in love with a potent husband,
there is no reason why she
should not go on for many years,
enjoying a happy sexual life.
Other Matters Blamed
Many of the difficulties that
women experience around the
time of the menopause are not
due just to the cessation of
function in their ovaries; they
are due to such things as an un
happy marriage of a daughter or
a son, or to financial difficulties,
or to the husband's heart attack,
or his retirement, or the prob
lems of getting out of the old
big house and into a small apart
ment. A woman who has been sane
all her life, and who has sane
and sensible and pleasant rela
tives, is not at all likely to get
depressed during the menopause.
The woman who might get de
pressed is the one who has al
ways had a tendency to get very
tense and blue before each
period, or who has always been
a bit moody, or has had a moth
er or a grandmother or an aunt
who more than once was badly
depressed. But even such a
woman, who perhaps carries a
tendency to depression in her
blood, can keep fighting it off
even throuch the menopause.
Slip can usuallv keep going. If
she should be one of those rare
persons who can't shake off the
blues, she can usually be cured
with a few electroshock treat
ments. Period of Anxiety
Some women have a good deal
of anxiety for one or two years
around the menopause because
they will stop menstruating for
a month or two and then will
start up again. In some cases to
day we physicians are at fault
for having given the woman such
a large dose of an ovarian ex
tract that, after she has stopped
menstruating, she is made to
start up again, perhaps in an
atypical way. Especially if she
just spots, the question will
arise. Has she a cancer of the
uterus? This may call for a cure- I
treatment, with a microscopic
examination of the scrapings of
the womb.
In my experience, a woman
can usually get along well
enough with one small dose
each day by mouth of an estro
gen or ovarian extract type of
drug. Good women's specialists
advise against giving enough, to

cause soreness of the woman's
breasts or nausea or a return of
menstruation.
Soma Have No Discomfort
As I said, some women at the
menopause have absolutely no
discomfort, either physical or
mental. Some who were intense
ly nervous all their days can get
distressing flushes. When these
flushes are very bad they can
cause the woman to jump up out
of her sleep. Usually they can be
controlled to a considerable ex
tent with the use of estrogens.
Many of us physicians worry our
patients by telling of the fear
some of us have that cancer may
develop somewhere because of
the use of the estrogen. Actually,
the danger of this is so slight
that many of the best gynecolo
gists in the country tell their
patients to forget it. I have no
fear of giving estrogens, and
have never seen any cancer that
I could ascribe to their use.
No woman need get fat and
heavy and unattractive at the
menopause. If,-with too good an
appetite, she has a tendency to
gain weight, all she has to do is
to live largely on vegetables and
salads with enough meat, fish,
chicken, egg or skim milk to
supply her needs for protein and
strength.
For women who want more de
tails on the menopause there are
a few good books available. One
of the best is by that fine writer,
Maxine Davis (McGraw Hill,

New Antiboiici ' '
Many persons will be glad to
hear that new antibiotics are
constantly being hunted for and
found. Some give promise of
combating diseases due to germs
that are not brought under con
trol by penicillin.
I was just reading of a new
antibiotic that will protect mice
against infection with a germ
that, in man, sometimes produces
a urinary infection, that penicil
lin cannot cure. The new drug
helps, also, in cases of whooping
cough. -

will understand that it would be
impossible for him to answer re
quests for information or to at
tempt to diagnose by mail.

Impersonation of
Grid Ace Charged
Miami, Fla.-(U.R) Husky An
thony Brown, 33, accused of im
personating pro football place
kick artist Lou (The Toe) Groza,
went before U.S. Commissioner
Roger E. Davis today for a pre
liminary hearing.
Charles E. Weeks, special
agent in charge of the Miami
FBI office, announced Wednes
day night agents arrested Brown
in a hotel room here on a fed
eral warrant, issued at Jackson
ville charging him with inter
state transportation of a $150
worthless check.
Brown's arrest ended a long
search by federal and local of
ficials in a number of eastern
and southeastern cities for a
man who has been posing as the
Cleveland Browns football star
and bilking those who believed
him out of hundreds of dollars.
Weeks said the check which
Brown cashed in Jacksonville
was signed with Groza's name
and was drawn on the non
existent "Cleveland First Na
tional Bank."
"It is "anticipated that Brown
has cashed numerous other
checks and the investigation
is continuing," the FBI said.
Brown was confined in the Dade
county jail pending his prelim
inary hearing.
In Cleveland, Groza told Unit
ed Press similar reports of his
name being falsely used have
turned up in New York, Phila
delphia, Jersey City, N.J., New
Orleans and Savannah, Ga.
The FBI said Brown told
agents he was on probation in
Pennsylvania for charges similar
to those on which he was ar
rested here.

many here to think that spring

about planting peas, and urged
us to start stirring the soil for
the sowing of seed. We tried to
tell her that the bright sunshine
was only a "weather breeder",
and the only way to tell when
winter is over is to wait until
the ground hog comes out and
looks it over. This didn't prove
to be a convincing argument,
and we found ourselves doing
some digging, raking and burn
in, getting ready for the early
planting. Since then we had
freezing temperatures, with rain
and snow.
