This is a home in which one is assured of ob taining the most comfort for his money. Storage space galore has been provided. The private dressing room off the maters bedroom has walls complete ly lined with wardrobes and both of the other bedrooms have more than ample size wardrobes. The two main baths have pullman lavatories with' storage below. There are two linen closets. An over sized guest closet, an addition al clothes closet, a telephone table and water heater and furnace closets are all located in the entry and off the short hall. Storage for special items and china' is adjacent to the dining ell and an extra large pantry PLUS general storage closet m the kitchen. In addi tion to a broom closet in the service area, there is wall space available for additional storage, freezer or sewing table. The dining ell off the living room not only makes this room much larger, but allows more space m the family room or informal living as there would be no necessity in using part of the family , room for dmmg. An eating bar next to the kitchen is for the more informal family meals. Although the garage has The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant in Medietas, Mxyo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Cllato 4.' AhtrM World Traveler's Medical Guide One of the most useful books I have . seen is the World Traveler's Medical Guide (Simon and Schuster, New York), writ ten by Dr Richard T. At kins. He lists the medical r e quirements for vac c l n a tion against smallpox and typhoid fever and perhaps typhus fever or yellow fever that travelers have to comply with before they can enter certain coun tries Particularly valuable to many travelers can-be the lists of .good hospitals in the sev eral countries. One of the most distressing things that can happen to a traveler is to get an: acute illness when he is in a foreign city where he knows no one who can advise him wisely and honestly about a physician. The Marriage of Epileptics I am distressed over the letters I receive from mothers of epileptic sons who say that the young man is planning to marry a girl without telling her of his disease. He says he went to the library and look ed it up, and the books say that epilepsy is rarely inherit ed. Yes: I have read these books, and they sadden me. They were written by man who, evideritly, hated to hurt people's feelings and who thought it would be a kind ness to soothe their fears. The authors were like the physi cian who feels it is his duty to tell a person with an inoper- able cancer that all his pains are due to a little rheumatism. I have never liked such medi cal lying, and as I have point ed out, if often does much 'harm. Certainly, it can do terrible harm to the epileptic who, when he marries, unwit tingly chooses a girl who car ries in her body genes of epi lepsy or some mental disease which can reenf orce the genes coming from him. My experience over many years is that the chances of a couple's having nervously handicapped children when one 'of them is epileptic are around 50 per cent. When an epileptic man marries a girl who comes of poor nervous stock, naturally, the chances of their having unhappy chil dren will be even higher. I know that for saying this I will get a lot of bitter letters from epileptics. Some will accuse me of not knowing what I am talking about. All I can say to them is to look in my latest book (Practical Leads to Puzzling Diagnoses: The Neuroses That Run Through Families; Lippincott), a statistical and detailed study of what actually did happen in hundreds of families I have known, in which bad nerves of one kind or another showed up in generation after gener ation. Violent Temper Let my .dqubters read chap ters three and four so that they can see that commonly epilepsy is not inherited as fits; it is inherited much more often as a violent temper, or severe nervousness, or a mild psychosis, alcoholism, or men tal retardation. . Others of the people who will write to scold me will accuse me of wanting to hurt and injure and bruise the spirit of epileptics. This is not true. Time and again in this column I have pleaded for a kinder attitude toward epilep tics; I have pleaded for their right to work, and for the establishment of Epi-hab shops for them. But to go back to the in heritance of epilepsy. We don't have to study this in man, although the evidence of the hereditary nature of most cases of epilepsy is over whelming. No; the inheritance of epilepsy can be studied in detail in cattle, some deer, some mice and some rabbits. In these animals it is easy to show that epilepsy is inherit ed according to the Mendehan law. Dr. O. P. Kimball once showed that when he spent years talking to the parents of epileptic children - talking to them until they liked him well enough to tell him the truth - he found epilepsy in 37.5 per cent of the forebears.

He could have added the many cases in which the in heritance showed up in other types of brain and mental disease. A Premature Menopause Women whose menstruation stopped, perhaps in their thir ties, want to know why it did this, and why . they should have had a menopause so early. Some of them say that their mother similarly had an early menopause. In that case, they are probably right in suspecting that the tendency is hereditary. I would suspect that a woman who, from girl hood, has menstruated scant ily, and perhaps had had but little sexual' interest might have defective ovaries and an early menopause. Perhaps, be cause her ovaries were never very strong to begin wfth, their function diminished in middle life. I doubt if much need be done about an early menopause; perhaps if large doses of some estrogen or ovarian extract were to be given every 28 days, the woman could be kept menstru ating for a while; I have seen this done, but I couldn't see why the woman should be bothering to go to the expense and trouble.. What did she gain? When a woman with an early menopause is having much trouble with flushes, a pill containing perhaps 0.5 mg. of stilbestrol, taken once each day, may give much relief. I see no danger in taking it. Dr. Alvarez, booklet on menopause may be obtained by sending 25 cents ' and a large, stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept.
