 Do you recommend any particu- lar vitamin or vitamins to make a person keep fit? CM. L)
 AnsWer-No. I believe most grow ing childen, youths and young adults in the United States need a daily ration of vitamins B-complex and vitamin D to supplement the ordi- nary diet.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Stupid Is Right

Over a year ago, asked for nanne of doctor who gives injection treat ment for hemorrhoids. You named Dr. -. He gave me about a dozen treatments, none painful, charged me only $-- for the whole treatment, which I think was req sonable, compared to an operation, which I would dread. Cant thank you enough .. great comfort . I certainly think it is stupid to suf- fer from piles but I confess I re- sented that when you suggested it.
 (Mrs. T. c. McR.)
 Answer-By now, surely, every doctor who is not hopelessly out of step, treats hemorrhoids by the in jection method if he treats hem orrhoids at all. I can't conceive how an old timer would have the temerity to hospitalize patient today for operation on piles. I am glad to send on request the pamphlet "It Is Stupid to Suffer from Piles"-R you provide a three-cent stamped envelope bearing your address. Clip ping of this item will not serve as your request.
