Dear DR.. Steincrohn: / thor
oughly agree: Time is life
And so much of it is tragically
wasted. for lack Of purpose and
planning. Thanks for your time

precious time. in your always
interesting and helpful column;
this one appearing on the last
day of the old year.
zone thing you said, though
DR.. Steincrohn, was diSappoint-
ing-and to me depressing. You
arbitrarily limited the life span
to 100 years lat the most" Sew

and partly because medical re-
search has heightened the aver
age life span.
According to articles by we'll
known geriatricians tmy own
doctor is one), there seems to be
no valid reason why man should
not naturally live to 125, or ever
$50 years in the not too distant
future-when you consider oui
new advances in medicine, nutri-
ton and mental health. I like
TO think there are no fixed limits
to this wonderful life.
What are your ideas on this

yours. Mrs. w. J. E."
Answer: I have no specific
ideas on the subject except this
one: You are the type Of person
I'd like to prescribe as a COM
panion for the many people who
have lately written to me deplor-
ing even the thought OF old age
You would be an excellent anti
dote to their daily depression

believe, Mrs. w. j. E., that
too many Of us unconsciously
worry our lives away wondering
how awful it's going to be when
we get old. It's nice, and helpful
to have letter like yours which

Answer: Many persons with
normal pressures suffer from
ringing in the ears and ner-
vousneSs. A troubled life is. OF
course. excellent soil in which
such symptoms, as you have,
flourish and grow. suggest that
you spend your money carefully
in seeking relief. Ringing in the
ears can be a stubborn COM
plant. I dislike using the phrase,
but it is true that sometimes
you must learn to live with IT,"
And sometimes fortunately. the
ringing" disappears as myster-
iously as it came.

faithful follower of your column.
/ wonder If you can give my any
information on the following
About six weeks ago my hus-
band complained of severe pains
down the side of his leg, from his
right hip down to his ankle. The
symptoms seemed a lot like
sciatica. In a week his leg broke
out in large watery blisters. Two
doctors said it was shingles. He
suffered severe neuralgia pain
for days and nights.
Can you please tell me how
this came about? Could this be
due to overexertion and mus
cular hard work? Mrs. p. H. K"
Answer: We doctors believe
that Herpes Foster tshingles) is
probably due to a viral infection
which involves some spinal
nerves. Where it comes from we
do not know. Hard work and
overexertion are not considered
to be causative factors. The dis
comfort pain, burning, Itch

for months.
Treatment is not specific. Doz-
ems OF remedies used attest to
the fact that there is no quick
cure" Although painful, the con-
dition is not serious.
