f Ringworm, Skin Attacks Require Exacting Care By VI. G. BKANUSTADT, M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Q Is ringworm primarily a fun gus condition or a blood condi tion? How can I get rid of it? Is it tlie same as athlete's foot? A Ringworm is a fungus dis ease that may attack any part of the skin but it has a marked pref erence for parts that are moist. Kor this reason it is common in the groin and in the feet w here it is called athlete's loot. Many per sons who are not in the least ath letic also got it. A new fungicide, chloroxylcnol, has proved very effective in some persons who! have used it. Recent studies indicate that in some persons rod-shaped bacteria rather than a fungus cause ath lete's foot. This would account lor the failure of some victims to get relief from any of the fungicides and for their cure by other drugs. It all boils down to what I have said many times in the past: First, find the exact cause. When this is done the treatment prescribed by your doctor is olten surprisingly easy. But always, you must keep your feet as dry as possible as much of the time as possible. Q Kor several weeks I have had a salty taste in my mouth I've checked with my dentist and have used different kinds of mouthwash uut nothing seems to help. What could cause this? A This rather baffling symptom is observed in some persons who smoke excessively. If you smoke try cutting it out for four or five weeks and see whether the salty taste disappears. Cutting out smoking will give you other divi dends as well. On the otherhand, the tsate may be due to an acid sa liva in contact with an amalgam filling, but such a cause would have been discovered by your den tist. In a few .persons sleeping with the mouth open is associat ed with a sally taste. If you arc taking medicines that contain ammonium or calcium chloride, sodium or potassium io dide, or sodium bicarbonate, this could be the cause. If you are not taking any of these try cutting down or eliminating table salt from your diet for a week and see if that will not help you. Q What would cause me to feel pain in a leg that was taken off 10 years ago? A Nearly every person who has an amputation has some painful sensation in the severed ending of the nerve that supplied the lost leg. This is called phantom leg pain. In most persons this clears up in a few months. Operations to lurther remove sensory path ways to or in the brain have been attempted when the pain is persis tent and severe, but the results are often disappointing. Q-My sister has a craving tn eat raw rolled oats. She is gain- 113 weight. Is it harmful to cat rolled oats raw? A Rolled oats mav hp e.-iion raw without harm, but an exces sive gain in weinht i harmful the rolled oats may be a contribut ing laclor. Please send vour Questions and comments to Dr. Wayne G.

Col. Allen Tennyson, SAC pilot, right, was first user of the lens. UPI Telephoto Plastic Contact Lens Brings New Life To Many MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPII - A tiny piece of plastic has brought a new life to a baton-twirling beauty queen, a jet pilot who logs continuous hours in a B32, and a Negro porter who once could see only a hand before his face. They are a few of more than 550 persons throughout the coun try who are wearing a new type contact lens. The Pupilcns. a variation of the much-used contact lens, was de veloped by Memphis optometrist Dr. Irving P. Filderman. The tiny leyepiece rests on the lower lid of tlie eye. unlike its bigger broth er, and covers only 35 per cent of the cornea compared to the 89 per cent covered by the contact. Because (lie lens is separated from tlie upper lid, Filderman says, there is a decrease of pres sure on tlie cornea, increasing comfort and lessening chances of the Pupilens becoming dislodged. Beauty Queen Leads Way A striking brunette led the en-: terprising optometrist to tlie Pu pilcns. Rita Wilson, Miss Tennessee of lust and Miss Dixie of I'M, had been Filderman's patient since she was 13, and was virtually the first one he fitted with the Pupilens. "With Rita, we had the chal lenge of retaining perfect appear ance and offering a stability in tlie lens that would allow her to participate with ease in beauty contests and twirling exhibitions," Filderman said. Rita wore her Pupilenses (or the first time about two weeks before she entered the Miss Dixie con test in Daytona Beach, Fla. "Not only did she adapt well to the Ions," Filderman said, "but she won tlie contest." Another challenge came early this year in Booker T. Merri- i weather, 53-year-old Negro porter for a Memphis television station who had a cataract. Several op erations proved fruitless. "Now I see very well," Merri wcather said.
