understand that I'm limited to
$4,000 a year income to be ell

sidered under this linit?"
No. The limit only applies
to the income you have.
From Miss E. s. Of Orlando,
Fla: I'm a recent column, you

Developments when he applied
for Social Security. Under what
circumstances are these back
payments made?
Usually. Developments of up
to IL months are paid when a
person applies for Social Sc
curity and it's discovered that
the person was eligible for pay
ments earlier. but neglected to
apply. For example: suppose a
man retires from his job at IS
and doesn't get around to ap-
plying for six months. If. when
he applies, the Social Security
office finds that he was eligible
for payments at IS. it will make
his payments back to the time
he became IS.

my company will be about $3.50 a

Your company pension will
have no bearing on your eligi-

for m onthly payments, but
lit doesn't limit income from pen

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Some Facts on Menopouse
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoAN

-Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I wist
you might write a column on the
risks of taking barbiturates II
small doses. Although I'm moi
quite 40 years old my doctor feel:
sure I'm having true menopausa,
symptoms. incidentally. an early
ehanse seems common in my
morner's family. She complepo
her change at AZ.
my doctor thinks I should
take one half a grain Of butiso'
sodium three times a day wher
I'm very tense and depressed
and two at bedtime. I've read sc
many statements about these
drugs being habit-forming so
worry q good deal about taking
them. They control the symp-
toms very well and my doctor
thinks a simple treatment Il
preferable to taking hormones.
IT respect my doctor but
would like to know your feelings
and experience in seeing memo
pausal symptoms at this age
and also your opinion on barbi'
turates taken in this strength.
will appreciate more than vol
know an article on this as soor
as possible. Mrs. l.. E. W."
Answer: First, let's consider
the menopause. 1t is not unusua
for some women to have the
change in the late thirties Of
early forties. However. these art
the exceptions. In most patients
the menopause comes In the
late forties. I have seen it ir
the late fifties.
Whatever the age, I think vol
should realize that 1t is a ma
tural change and not disease
Too many women begin fearing
the menopause as early as theil
teens. They hear all kinds Of
tales that are as untrue as they
are horrifying.
It Is true that q very small
percentage of women may be.
come terribly depressed. and
are candidates for electro-shocE
and other treatments. But re-
member that these are the ex-
ceptions. For everyone Of such
patients there are hundreds who

without any symptoms what
ever.
Don't Anticipate

their thirties to stop thinking
how they are going to feel
when they go through tn,

dreds Of women have told mi
that the change" was the mos
comfortable period of their lives
It is true that some have no
flashes that last for a few
months or years. In mos
patients these are not very dis
comforting. Others are occasion
ally disturbed during sleep ant

to numerous visits to the doctors
Office.
However, when medical treat
ment becomes necessary. 1t is
usually quite efficient and effec-
tive. I believe that the most i'm
portant element of the treat
ment is time taken out to re-
assure the patient. She feels
better right away when she
learns that the menopause isn't
something bad" I think it is
also essential for her to know
that sometimes the discomforts
last for months and years. So
many return month after month
wondering why they are not all
better. 1t is proper to gear them
for the long pull.
Sedatives VS.. Hormones
Now. as for the question about
sedatives VS.. hormones. As the
saying goes: 1T all depends. /"
Here is how most doctors feel
about it. Some say to the pa
