PRACTICE OF PRoPHYLAxTs


PRACTICE OF PROPHYLAxIs
My great secret ambition, to en-.
gage in private practice as a pro,
phylactor, that is, to limit my prac.
tice to preventive medicine exclu.
sively, having been thwarted by tn,
quaint attitude of the medical pro.
fession which does not even now rec.
ognize such q field Of practice as .
legitimate specially.
Every year or so some reader
writes to thank me for something ]
said in this column which warned OF
alarmed him or her, with the result
that he or she sought proper medica
examination or treatment and caught
some serious malady in time. Or
the other hand, just as often I an
penalized for having scared some
body into hurrying to his or her doc
tor for examination only to discover
that the trouble is not serious after
all.
Now people who express appreci-
alton or thanks for instruction OF
advice I have given through this
service sometimes intimate that they
wish they might consult me regu-
larry in private. That is altering
but from what I know Of human ma
ture doubt there are enough people
Of that mind to support a specialist
who might elect to limit his practice
to that field.
People in general need a good deal
more education before private prac-
ttce OF prophylaxis or preventive
medicine will become feasible. AS
yet, far too large a portion of the
population, even the more intelligent
class, prefer to gamble with health,
trying this or that remedy or treat
ment on the suggestion of friend or
stranger who "had the same trouble.
A formidable obstacle to the pri-
vate practice of preventive medicine
Is the traditional reverence Of the
medical profession for pathological
anatomy, organic disease, the signs
of gross structural change produced
by disease; and the corresponding
contempt for and neglect of patho-
logical physiology, functional disease
and the subjective symptoms pro,
duced thereby. Necessarily the pri-
vate prophylactor would concern
or herself almost wholly with
functional disturbances or irreular-
tiles, with symptoms.
How many persons who are now
subject to pre-diabetes will discover
their condition in time to take the
necessary steps to prevent develop
ment of the disease? Very few, for
the reason already indicated-people
prefer to gamble with their own
health; they consult a physician only
when they are convinced they have
some serious ailment.
Only. three or four years ago ply
'icians generally assumed that def
;iency diseases, such as beri-beri,
'curvy and pellagra were rare among
he general population, and the fully
developed diseases are rare, but COM
,etent investigators and clinicians
rave found that large portion of
he population, even the middle and
presumably well nourished classes,
'uffer various health impairments or
functional ailments whichc are due
o moderate deficiencies Of the es-
ential vitamins in their diet.

Scientists call dreams which are
a distortion Of an actual bodily ex-
perience "somatic" dreams. Hear
ing the wind howl can lead you to
dream of roaring beasts; too tight
covers may bring on dream Of
being bound in chains.
But beneath these obvious causes
there often lurk hidden ones, far
more vital to understand. For
dreams are really the voice Of the
subconscious mind, expressing our
inmost fears, hopes, desires in SYM
bolic form.
Failing may symbolic secret
fear that you will fall down" on
some task-a warning, perhaps, that
you have a defeatist attitude which
you ought to change.
In dream symbolism wild beasts
may stand for untamed instincts
which need watching. Enchain-
ment may mean you are letting
yourself be baffled, instead of fac
ing a problem squarely.
Or do you ever dream of a snake

AS fresh in its viewpoint and as
new in its appeal as though it were
the first picture ever filmed of that
popular family, the Hardys, Metro
Goldwyn- Mayors candy Hardy
Meets Debutante" Is bringing laughs
and goodly share of tense drama
to audiences at the Loew Poll the
alter, where this sensational hit
opened a four day engagement this
afternoon.
Comedy, Of course, is an important
goal of all the Hardy pictures but
1t is a brand of comedy which Is as
natural and honey as the typical
family which the pictures portray,
and it Is always pointed up by con-
trast with the disappointments, en-
barrassments and near-tragedies to
which any average family is the
prey. Andy Hardy Meets Debutante'
does not fall short of this ideal
and there is never moment when
the onlooker loses his sympathy with
Andy Hardy and his family no mat
ter how comic their misfortunes
may seem.
The story brings in Carvel with
Mickey Rooney, as the ebullient An
dy, falling in love with magazine
pictures Of glamorous New York
debutante. He answers the taunts
of his sweetheart, Ann Rutherford,
who surmises his secret, by boast
ing, not very truthfully, that he
really knows the glamour girl and
that If he could just get to New
York he would bring back picture
Of them together to prove 1t.
Fate, in the person Of Judge Hardy
steps in, and as he has legal case
in New York, he brings his entire
family there, and now Andy is
forced to make good his boast. How
he does 1t, employing an etiquette

book published in 1881 a swank
night club, top hat too big for
him and General Grants tomb,
makes for situations that are hilar-
ious to an audience If agonizing to
Andy.
Judy Garland, who is reunited
with Mickey Rooney for the first
time since their outstanding sue
cess in "Babes in Arms" Is a lovely
foil to the comedy of Rooney and
the glitter of fthe New York scene.
She plays a sub-deb who admires
Andy and helps him finally to meet
the debutante, and contributes some
lovely new song numbers in the in
imitable Garland manner.
The other members of the "fam-
ily," Fal Holden, Sara Hacen and
Cecilia Parker deliver their custo-
mary stellar performances and Dr.
ana Lewis sparkles as the glamour
girl.

"No matter what your neighbors
and best friends are wearing, don't
ever be found in dress that does
MT do something for you, as a per-
son, and for your figure"
This advice comes from Ma
dame Lyolene, famous French
couturier who came to the United
States last fall and who Is de-
signing clothes in America these
days.
IT'S A MATTER
OF LEARNING TYPE
American girls and American
women who have kept themselves
reasonably slender have the most
beautiful figures in the world" Ma
dame Lyolene goes on. with such
good figures on which to drape
clothes, there is no reason why
American women should not be the
best-dressed in the world"
It's all a matter of knowing
what type of clothes brings out your
best points and conceals less attrac-
tive ones. Madame Lyolene points
out. The nice-looking warm, friend
ly designer disapproves Of the wo-
man who insists upon wearing an
unbecoming fashion just because
that fashion is very much in the
news and is being worn by most of
her friends.
Designers generally approve of
the woman who, having found q
dattering pattern, has half dozen
dresses in various colors and ma
terials made from that pattern. But,
even so, they think she may not be
very imaginative and should be
willing to spend more time on her
wardrobe.
HAIR EXPERTS APPROVE
BECOMING COIFFURES
It's true, too, that the hair ex-
perts would like to have every wo-
man change her hair style at least
once every two years. But they
would rather have her change the
old couture slightly now and then
than to make q radical change in
favor of an unbecoming arrange
ment.
Good hairdressers shuddered
when women with large .irregu-
lar features wore upswept cof-
fures. They, like Madame Lyo-
lene and other great fashion de-
signers, honestly want us to wear
only the things that really make
us more attractive.
