Bunion Operation-Can a bum
ion of six years standing be cured
by operation on the joint? Do
chiropodists do such work? Have
tried toe flexers and bunion reduc-
ers of several types without avail.
n. NJ. E.
Answer-Operation is the only
cure for an established bunion-
| which is partly dislocated great
toe joint usually with enlargement
of the heads of the bones which
make the joint. 1t is an operation
for a surgeon only.
Coffee Drinking-Please tell me
/ if coffee is harmful to one who Is d
pretty heavy coffee drinker. How
can l overcome hot flashes in my
face? P. B.
Answer-In certain conditions
even one cup of coffee day may
/ be too stimulating, as in eKoph-
thalmic goitre or hyperthyroidism
Most adults mot children are not
only not injured but rather benefit
ed in health by the use Of coffee as
a breakfast beverage. One may
easily take too much coffee. More
than two cups of coffee a day would
be too much for most sedentary
persons, though an adult doing
hard open air work may drink
much more freely. If you take toe
much coffee your hot flashes may
be due to the excess.
