PROGRESS
 This is my first letter to you (writes the customer) and I have, followed your column ever since 1t started. I am member in good standing in the Belly Breathing club and have been benefited thereby. I am in my Slst year-we celebrated our t0h wedding anniversary last month. Have all but three of my original teeth still working ...
 q betcha not one in hundred readers past fifty years of age can tie that record.)
 Our doctor has me on digitalis and thiamin chloride (vitamin B1 for some kind of heart troublc-no pain but Q consciousness sof heart beats.
 (The doctor evidently knows his therapeutics. In this column or Quack Brady now and again ex- presses his lack of faith in digitalis and his belief that vitamin Bl (thiamin) or better still natural vitamin B complex, which includes the other essential entities as well as thiamin, really does for the heart what physicians have long tried to believe digitalis does-that is, acts as a tonic, improves the tone and function of the heart muscle. For this reason it would be advisable in every instance where digitalis Is taken at all to combine it with a good daily ration of vitamin B corrl- plex, and, when the digitalis is dis continued. to keep on supplement- ing the dite with a good daily ra- ton of vitamin B complex until the COWS come home)
 am employed as a part time acc countant Continues the customer) and so far have gotten away with 1t. I do considerable walking and play a mean game of solitaire.
 Purpose of this letter is to assure you that your efforts to preserve health are appreciated .. Good luck and God Bless You.
 Sincerely yours,
 (..........)
 You do not go into details about the technique of your game. I won- der whether you have a rubdown after a brisk round of solitaire. And I wonder what your girl friend does while you are furiously striving to win your game I hope she doesn't get into mischief through idleness or want of diversion.
 Seriously, brother, your letter gives me great deal of joy. Sometimes, you know, pounding away here and getting all sorts of complaints, kicks and reproaches, 1t seems as though this column initiates or offends most when the sourpuss who conducts 1t Is trying his d... st to do people good. reckon people don't like to be done good-they prefer to be en- couraged to think that what they think they know about health is so.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Several weeks ago the conductor of this column deplored the difh- culty of learning where Alcoholic Anonymous groups may be found. The response was excellent. am happy to say that now have ad- dresses of Alcoholics Anonymous groups hundreds of cities, and so I am prepared to give the information to any reader who asks for it and incloses a three-cent-stamped en- velope bearing his or her address. I need not add that heartily approve of the fine work done by Alcoholics Anonymous and I would urge every man or woman who is sincere in. the desire to recover self-control and self-respect to get in touch with such group.
