Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Mediclna, Mayo Foundation Varicose Veins People keep asking what to do for varicose veins. In those many cases in which they are not causing much trouble, all that is needed is to wear an elas tic bandage or one 6f the new e I a stic stock ings which are not very con spicuous. If the r Aivarc veins are gei- &lgC larger, and causing pain or swollen ankles or a leg ulcer, the best thing to do is to have them removed by an expert in this field. He usually makes a little cut at the lower end of the leg, he slips around the vein that is to be removed a ring which is on the end of a long rod. He then pushes the ring up along the vein, separating it from its little branches and sur rounding structures.

The blood now will go up through veins which are deeper down in the leg and thigh, where they are surrounded by muscle which supports them. Hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism People ask what is hypothy roidism and what is hyperthy roidism. In Greek hypo means under hyper means above. The thyroid gland produces a sub stance which tends to regulate the speed at which our body chemistry runs. It is like a gov ernor on an engine. If a woman has a toxic goiter and hyperthy roidism, with too much thyroid secretion in her blood, she is likely to have a tremor of her hands; perspiration may be run ning out of her armpits; her heart will be running much too fast; she may have an increased appetite, and yet she will lose much weight. I have seen these people lose 50 or 60 pounds in weight in a short time. The wom an may have a diarrhea, because the bowel is moving too fast. Usually she will sleep poorly at night. She will feel so warm she will kick off the bed-clothes and open the windows. Her brain may be so poisoned that she will become irritable and unreasonable and perhaps, a bit psychotic. She will be blinking her eyes too often. When she comes into my office, I may note right away that she is too rest less to sit still. She will be fidg eting. Her eyes may be bulging forward; her skin may have a reddish color, and when I reach out and touch her hand, I will note that it is warm, just as if she had a fever of 102 degrees. When I get a surgeon to re move much of her overly-active thyroid gland she will immedi ately calm down and become much more comfortable, but I fear she will always remain nervous. It is dangerous to let a mark ed hyperthyroidism so untreated for years because eventually the heart and liver becomes so badly poisoned that the person may die. Often, before death the pulse becomes irregularly ir regular with no proper rhythm to it. Face May Look Pudgy A woman with hypothyroid ism is slowed-up and dull and perhaps sleepy during the day. She feels cold. She may go to sleep while seated in my recep tion room. She tends to get fat and her face may look pudgy. She will not perspire and her skin will get dry. Her hair may become brittle. She may lose all interest in sex. She may feel so cold that at night she wants to pile on the bed-clothes.

Get O 8RE0MULSI0N FOR CHILDREN Davis Lake Area Scanned for Boys Oakridge, Ore. w State the coastline of Davis Lake, 42 miles east of here today for two Oakridge teen-agers who did not return from a duck hunting trip Monday evening at the lake. Five boats patrolled the lake without success. Missing were Gary Clark, son of Ervin M. Clark, and Wayne Cline, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cline. Both boys are 17. State police officer Floyd Sis- son said a metal canoe used by the youths was found floating in a cove at the northeast end of the lake about 6 a.m. Tuesday and that there was a hole in the side of the craft caused by a shotgun blast. Both Clark and Kline had 12-gauge shotguns with them. Sisson said there were no tracks along the shore where the canoe was found but search ers discovered two hats belong ing to the boys, a paddle, two life preservers, a thermos jug and some apples near the cove. He said a paddle was found in the canoe. A-pickup -truck used by the pair to haul the canoe to the lake was located at the Davis Lake guard station. Emergency Power Given Gaillard For Algeria Case Paris W The National Assembly voter1, emergency powers to Premier Felix Gail lard shortly before midnight Tuesday to deal with the spread ing Algerian rebellion and new outbreaks of Moslem violence in France itself. Gaillard turned today to an other pressing problem economics. He goes before the Assembly Thursday with a de mand for emergency financial powers and will ask it to ap prove a move to raise $274 mil lion in new taxes a plan already under fire by the right wing. 'New Front' Reported The Assembly voted Gaillard the Algerian emergency powers after hearing that the Algerian nationalists had "opened a new front" in France itself and were planning to open a new battle front in Algeria. The vote was 344 to 211, a comfortable margin but less than Gaillard's note of approval by the Assembly. The special powers act gives the government special police powers to cope with the rebel lion. These include the right to conduct night searches and as sign forced residence (close to house arrest). They were first given to Socialist Premier Guy Mollet on March 12, 1956, and must be renewed by Parlia ment within 10 days following the formation of a new cabl net. i Child Evangelism Group Sets Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Sol Ediger, Ore gon state directors of the Salva tion Army, will be guests at the Child Evangelism Fellowship potluck dinner Friday, Nov. 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the Salvation Army building, 236 North Bart lett st.

SP 3-5381 times in July I will recognize a hypothyroid woman in a mo ment because she is wearing a fur coat. Her pulse is likely to uc jiuw, diiu sue may leu me sue j has lost practically all of her body hair. In borderline cases the doctor will have some tests made of the thyroid function. He may have the basal metabolism tested (a breathing test). I seldom order this test made because, after years of experience, I can gen erally tell if the thyroid gland is functioning normally. I am sure that it isn't hyperthyroid if the person's hand is cold and the pulse rate is normal, and I'm sure the woman is not mark edly hypothyroid if she is wide awake and keen; if she answers my questions quickly, and if she is handling an important job in some office. If a woman is really hypothy roid with a basal metabolic rate of less than minus 20 per cent, she should feel like a new wom an when she takes thyroid sub stance every day. If thyroid sub stance only makes her jittery, it is very probable that she does not need it. People ask "What is lichen planus?" This is a disease of the skin . which usually come symmetrically on both sides of the body. It usually itches se verely. Some of the spots come where the skin has been scratch ed". I read that common places for the disease to appear are the front of the wrist, the inner side of the thigh, and the lower part of the back, between the buttocks. The cause of the dis ease is not well known. Women are more likely to get it than are men, and sometimes there are several cases in a family. The disease is often rebellious to treatment. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that . it would be impossible for him to answer requests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail.
