STOP KILLING

Proper Exercise for Men Over 40
By DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: viii you
give me your opinion whether
or not exercise is dangerous over
40? I think my husband is much
too active in his golf and setting
up exercises. Mrs. L. s."
Answer: In a general way
am against strenuous exercise
for 'middle-aged athletes"
think 1 can best answer your
question specifically by quoting
from a report Of a COMMITTEES
(of which / was a member) APP
pointed by the American Medical
Association about a dozen years
ago. Here. in part, is the con-
census of our opinion:
Among older persons lover
400 physical examinations and
observation of the individuals
reaction to exercise will disclose
large numbers who need to re-
strict exercise. Individual varia.
tons in capacity for exercise are
important. Some persons, ever
at early ages, react unfavorably
to exercise through extreme ex-
haustion, breathlessness and
emotional depression. Exercise
should be graded according to
age, capacity of the individual
and the state Of his training and
fitness. In general, exercise
should be modified in the direc-
ton of less strenuous activities
after the age OF 49,"
That last sentence, Mrs. L
s., about sums it up. If your hus-
band persists in overexerting, he
should at least have a complete
physical examination by your
doctor TO see If he "can take it,"
Absence Of the Appendix

had never been operated on be-
fore, this doctor told US that
when they opened him UP and

K. c."
Answer: Although quite rare,
congenital absence Of the APP
prendix has been reported in the
medical literature. II your boy
had an appendix, a good surgeon
would have found 1t. (Fortu-
nately, that is one organ we can

Answer: There may be a dis

she says, she can't help feeling
that they resent her.
The truth is that l would like
to spend a little more time with
my daughters and grandchil-
dren, but my wife resists going
to see them. She says it's all
right with her II I go by myself
but I'm afraid this will make

My wife has only one son

things too. ] guess she's not the

Despite good intentions on
both sides. a strong undercurrent
Of jealousy exists between Mr..
F. DIS daughters and their STEP
mother.
These women can disguise
their feelings somewhat, but they
can't entirely control them. The
