thousands upon thousands of working men and women yet often but suffering needn't be as in this case of a one man price for help if fight against and else are at work doesn't matter good sometimes to have to type his own report when i gals got a cold she belongs home in baton rouge sees a sharp boy with an idea to save the farm a lot of money on the cons grow process that certainly didn't do him any harm with mr winston when the first tally showed a loss he went over the figures himself at night till he found the  responsibility on his own hook after that tally flub steve changed the whole cross check routine brother did mr carter ever been that day you see thieves the ambitious type he works better at the office and at home too lately he's made friends with lester blinds already a contact like that may get him a higher paying job rahal's have a nice place a little expensive maybe but nice the whole home's attractively furnished ellen too she picks up things on sale today well makes certainly sets her off doesn't it pay for it may take a little doing of course the men he works with don't like it it makes for more hard feelings more mistakes all around solo work piled up on steve's desk he feels like he has to check everything closer it doesn't look good and he knows it and that brings on new pain new trouble once and almost got in a fight with a mean tempered foreman out in the shop however steve can't yell at him but he can play it cool spoil cobbers fun and that gets karma like that time at the weekly staff meeting it's common i'm sure that's all the information i don't see anything about those new tax steam or was it do you ever win when you end up with stomach pains so sharp they make the boss order you to see a doctor there it is types they all spell trouble too that's why it's so important to start treatment as soon as possible you sound awfully definite about this i can't afford not to be now where your health is concerned that's why i took all these tests that you drink that  doctor i think that steve you wait a bit what you think has no bearing whatever on the condition developing else here is not an intellectual process the stomach pains that you talk about the knowing the burning those are obvious symptoms of gastric ulcers and this x ray is positive proof but why why should i have an ulcer what kind of product and there's nothing to mysterious about it really secreted by the stomach lining and sub lining a mild solution it helps break down food fibers for the justice you see your stomach to sort of sack with walls four layers thick the outside walls are made of muscle tissue when those muscles contract the action helps to just your food when your stomach is empty those same contractions yell i'm hungry running that way stomachs all ready to start work the minute you swallow the first bite ulcers they come to the unlucky guy with a nervous system that pumps acid into a stomach even when there isn't any food there to  that makes trouble because hydrochloric acid can't think even when the man to sleep it keeps on working eating away at the stomach lining if that goes on long enough the acid either sore and  unless you take care of it then inflammation develops the tissue swells so much that food maybe can't even leave the stomach so you vomit can't eat or drink if the sore goes deep enough you may have internal bleeding if it needs clear through the stomach wall acid and adjusting food pour into your abdomen and doctors say you've got a perforated ulcer that calls for an operation fast before perforation cream and simpler it helps not to let your stomach stay empty get the kind of food and medication that helps relax it and takes the bite out of the acid various drugs and sedatives can calm down the biggest nerves so it doesn't keep crying for gastric juice another way to get the same result is to cut off that branch of the vegas nerve that ties into the stomach but no matter what you do about it or how you look at it and all sir never is a thing to ignore it's one of the commonest causes of death and time lost from work among chronic disease to do is to work on your attitude i had to that's right i'll sort of breed on their own kind of feeling but you said what i think that having to do with officers i'm talking about feelings not thinking not logic what i mean is worry back some place when he was a child a baby even he got into the habit of reaching for food whenever anything upsetting this bill listen to what a psychologist calls a conditioned refl i don't know vibe that you will once you think it through and then venice attitude business or call it feeling if you like it where you feel about people what's wrong with the way i feel about people if you're like most observations you care too much what people think you're not really sure that they like you so you're always worrying about things such as whether they're going to stare at you or slap you down it keeps you on the fence and not an edge all the time every little upset pups mor acid into the stomach the holes in the lining now wait a minute only i could act like a complete idiot jerk hardly the word for it a man doesn't plan to have an ulcer doctor you never your friend you're only cutting your own throat when you act this way you've got to face up to reality you got to be honest with yourself about the way you feel about things finding a new doctor sounds like a better answer to me you can walk out on your doctor but you can't walk out on yourself and  well a man's got to go home and face the music sometime ellen seems to have some questions steve that's it dave go ahead ask her what makes it any other her business i wish i had the right words for you too but i guess you're the kind that has to make up your you know steve and vision can be mis directed it's no good if it kills you if you want to live you've got to find out what's pushing you do something about ellen remember one thing most cases i see it takes two to breed and  and widows are a drug on the market as far as i'm concerned it's high time that the two of you grew up join the human race that don't ever let me forget that getting rid of an alter is not the easiest thing in the world or the cheapest but a man can do it if he takes the time and trouble to take his medicine too literally there's milk to drink instead of bourbon you learn to dodge fights to no more sniping at carver no more night work either no more taking the office home there were long talks with dr armstead steve began to see things clearer understanding the self a little better i remember a thing my mother used to say it's cruel to let a baby cries and say just given the breast right on the client then mom was that way let me come home crying over something and she'd give me candy every time that or as we weren't home i didn't even know you're supposed to give a girl of her size if you take her to a college dance to really have to pay cash for it isn't the only way to win success except by pushing driving acting like a machine instead of a human being those were the question steve had to ask himself because little by little he began to see that he lived according to his own private ground rules that he'd taken a lot of things for granted that maybe just weren't true dr armstead claimed a man could find happiness just by being letting people like him the way he is instead of always trying to promote and scramble higher up the ladder but words are one thing life's another so steve found his real answers on the job right where he worked the clerks he found do better when somebody isn't always yelling at them ruth's typings improve now that the pressure is off and the other day steve found he'd turn down a transfer mr winston keeps an eye on costs and profits but he does it in a row lack sort of way doesn't push or try to take over all the responsibility that's right you're asking for an ulcer when you let work lap over onto your lunch hour spoiled work goes up when there's hate in the shop absent time to some men quit others just develop ulcers of their own production down down down finally steve began to realize that the aggressive alter case isn't just hurting himself he's also bringing trouble and pressure to dozens of other people like carver it turned out he had an ulcer had had for years but was too proud to admit it too late to admit it now it hit steve hard he was even glad when mr winston a mr yoakum the bill carver jack he could see now that he needed more experience him self before he took on that much responsibility he held off on the job at arrow two not because he was scared but because he wanted to be sure he made the right choice the mature choice things eased up at home now that he takes time for the kids presents don't seem to matter but the real payoff the final test came late the other afternoon down at the  well yes i'm here mr grimes you know i'll tell you there's no point in our getting together really i've i've made up my mind already a job that big was going to push me too hard are you crazy stay here this is a chance to get out of the app you're on a narrow arrow at yad chance to break my neck you mean i need more background right tackle a job like that i am it's now i got a better idea of what time and basis for mr blind i'm sorry i'm going to have to hang up now my wife and family are waiting for me i know that that job sounds fine but i'm just not the right man for that now no not for a couple of three more years yet it would be fair not to be absolutely frank with you i feel later m well that's the end of our story a happy ending too because steve hall finally did face up to both sides of his problem the physical and the emotional like you see that's what it takes to win the fight against an
