New way to relieve
tension and fatigue!
MONOPHOBIA
Fear of noise
art by Don Margolit
11. Fear of fresh air. These phobes become belligerent
if anyone tries to open window near them on a stuffy
bus or streetcar. At home, their windows are always
closed and securely locked.
12. Fear of the night Going into the darkness frightens
them. They usually insist that someone accompany them
when they must go out after dark.
13. Fear of the number 13. This phobia is so wide
spread that some hotels and office buildings skip the
floor that should be No. 13.
14. Fear of crossing bridges. Perhaps this stems from
Thornton Wilder's novel, "The Bridge of San Luis Rey,"
the story of a bridge that collapsed, carrying five way
farers to their death.
15. Fear of taking medicine. Not even sugar coating
can make pills palatable to these folk. Momentarily,
some are made sicker by the mere prospect of having to
take medicine. .
16. Fear of strangers. This attitude probably stems
from the days when every stranger was an enemy.
17. Fear of vaccination. Every nurse and doctor has
seen healthy men and women faint at the sight of a
hypodermic needle.
18. Fear of being locked in. A famous New York
newspaper publisher who had this phobia used to keep
an axe in his bathroom to guard against this possibility.
19. Fear of being alone. These unfortunates can't stand
solitude and want to be surrounded by others at all
times. They can't handle jobs that require them to work
by themselves.
20. Fear of making a mistake. Sometimes, this phobia
makes people so deliberate that they succeed. At other
times, the reluctance to chance making an error results
in major blunders.
How to banish phobias? Well, it really isn't worth the
effort, unless you have phobophobia which is fear of
your own fears!
If your phobias are mild, they probably amuse your
family and friends and help give you a certain individu
ality. They also stamp you as a member of the human
race, because everyone has one or more mild phobias.
Here are the scientific names
ef the phobias described above:
1. Bacteriophobia.
2. Pedophobia.
3. Heliophobia.
4. Astraphobia.
5. Phonophobia.
6. Ophidiophobia.
7. Ophthalmophobia.
& Aphephobia.

of over a dozen year's scientific
research in this country and in
Europe. It gives you firm but
gentle support in the five vital
comfort areas (as shown above):
back of the head, shoulders,
small of the back, thighs, calves.

momentarily resting, watching
television, or deeply relaxing,
you are supremely comfortable.

moulded sponge rubber. Comers
are carefully reinforced.

usually associated with
reclining chairs. The Bar

space. The new Barca-Lo-Back

atyled. You may choose from
a handsome variety: Early
American (some with exposed
wood). Traditional, Modern, or

range of attractive styles; no
other will blend in so beautifully
with your furnishings.
