such as her charm, health. appeal
and peace Of mind. She reaches
this conclusion through the stories
told her by others.
This is nonsense to some Of us
older folks. She will not lose her
charm, but will increase it as she
approaches this time Of life, II her
attitude is the proper one. She may
not have the same appeal to young
folks, but she will gain charm to
older ones. She has grown mature
and begins to broaden mentally
and physically. Here is just another
example Of ill-advised mis-infor-
nation.
Discomforts Controlled
This period Is another Of the
gradual changes that make up life.
In these days, there is no reason
why It should not be taken in the
course Of events. as are all other
developments.
Almost every woman has been
told of the long line of physical and
mental discomforts of this time.
Surely, some do have very unpleas-
ant experiences, but most OF them.
nowadays, are due almost entirely
to carelessness and lack Of proper
precautions. B &C aus they have
been told that nothing can be done.
they Just let things go. This Is an
entirely wrong idea. Medical SCI
ence has progressed to the point
that practically all the diScomfortS
can be entirely dispelled.
The hot flashes, nervous disturb
ances, m e n a ! depression. pains
and discomforts can be kept within
reasonable bounds, II one will con-
suit her doctor and not her neigh
bors.
A little advice, management and
proper medication will enable her
to pass through this change with
minimum Of discomfort and emerge
q strong. healthy mature woman.
No, the dread Of the menopause Is
q thing Of the past under modern
health programs. The way need not
be expensive or disturbing in any
way.
Another dread that makes its APP
pearance at this time is the idea
that cancer or other tumor growths
will appear. II one puts herself
under the care Of her family doctor.
she will report to him any unusual
occurrence. such as a new growth
or some unusual discharge and he
will be able to decide what Is
wrong. II anything.
Early Treatment
OF course, after 40 is the time for
the appearance Of tumors. Too
many times we do not see doctor
: for fear he will flnd some serious
trouble. Most Of the time. 1t could
be seen and cured II diagnosed
early.
Remember, a very great many
eancerous growths can be cured II
seen end treated In the beginning.
II not seen early, they usually do
progress and become fatal. The
3uly way to prevent progress is by
early, treatment Consult your doc
tor early and often and the memo
pause will prove to be only q normal
occurrence.
Men also pass through q some
what similar change. not as grace
fully as women. They resent grow
ing old and make fools Of them
selves. by submitting to drastic
treatment or even indulging in sur
gerry, In the effort to revive and
stimulate the vigor and enthusiasm
Of youth.
It would be very trite to say that
the calendar turns at exactly the
same rate for every one OF us. Life
treats some Of US differently from
others, 1t Is true. but to fret and
fuss about the passing Of the years
n futile. Better far II we face the
facts Is to be expected and prepare
TO make the best of them.
