How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Ulcer Treatment Depends on Case
By DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

quitely for some time? At least
that's what they used to teach
us in first aid class. Mrs. H.F."
Answer: Inconsistencies is a
well-recognized symptom in the
patient with a fractured skull.
However, remember that head
ache or dizziness may be the
only symptoms. Always be sus-
picious that the victim of high
way accident may have a skull
injury even though he thinks he
is well enough to walk away"
Be especially suspicious if he has
bleeding in an ear canal, if he
has a large head bruise. if his
pupils are unequal and if his face
is unnaturally flushed or ashen.
Keep him quiet. lying down,
for at least half an hour. If his
face is flushed, raise his head a
little. If he is vomiting turn him
on his side. If he should be-
come unconscious, avoid excess
sive manipulation until the am
bulance comes. If no ambulance
is available move him into your
car gently. There is always the
possibility that he may also have
a fracture of the neck or lower
spine.
Don't give him coffee or whis-
key. You can actually kill an ac-
cioent victim with too much
kindness and fussing over him.
Very often we mean we'll but do
badly.
Treatment for Obesity
"Dear DR.. Steincrohn: am
about 60 pounds overweight. l
am a 52-year-old businessman,
otherwise healthy. My physician
has advised that / enter the
hospital for treatment of my
obesity because / am so much
overweight. Do you think that is
necessary? 1t will raise oil Harry
with my business schedule. Mr..
E. M. D."
Answer: During 30 years of
medical practice l don't recall a
half-dozen patients / admitted
into the hospital for treatment
of obesity But the fact that /
admitted them shows there are
exceptions to this rule: Most
people can lose weight while fol-
lowing the ordinary course of
their lives. They do not require
disqualification.
Whether you are six pounds,
60 or 100 pounds overweight, you
can lose weight Outside the hos
pital," if you have the will to
lose.

Dear DR.. Steihcrohn: Just
what is the difference between
ulcer of the stomach and duo
denal ulcer? Is one more serious?
And how about operation? Would
you say that stomach ulcer is
more dangerous?-Mr. N. N"
Answer: The answer to your
first question is not difficult.
Stomach ulcer is found in the
wall of the stomach. The duo
denum is the first part of the
small intestine. 1t is in this
location, not many inches from
the stomach exit, that the duo
denal ulcer has its habitation.
Which is more serious? That
depends. A bleeding or per-
forating duodenal ulcer is cer-
tainly more dangerous than a
small stomach ulcer that is
Winding its own business. except
giving you a little indigestion.
However, even a small stomach
ulcer that has cancer cells in it
is more dangerous than a bleed
ing duodenal ulcer-or even one
that has perforated through the
stomach wall.
I AS for operation. we are usually
conservative about having your
duodenal ulcer operated until you
have had a few trials of medical
treatment. But where stomach
ulcer is the problem. we doctors
are becoming more prone to con-
slider the need for earlier opera
tive interference.
For example, in a recent study
by Mark A. Hayes M. d. of Yale
University School Of Medicine,
about one in four of the stomach
ulcers harbored cancer. If treated
in time these are durable. The
answer seems to be early opera
ton in stomach ulcer. Why even
take that one in four gaml~~
that your stomach ulcer remem-

even though the patient was

that medical treatment was not

THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS

A man who retires with maxi
mum Social Security for his wife
and himself will get just over
1852 month. He is entitled to
keep all Of this and at the same
time make $1,000 a year.
He can't make any more than
this without FORGETTING some of
his Social Security until he
reaches age II.
But where can he get a 81 200
|a-year job without taking some
trivial work that bores him to
death or else is an embarrass-
ment to his family and friends?
Jobs don't come in that size.
Plan UnfOIds
A 65-year-old engineer thinks
American business should capt.
talize on the dilemma.
Why, he asks, can't business
hire back-as consultantS-the
experienced men it retires, and
give them contracts for $1,000
la year? 1t would be hiring men
with 40 and so years of expert
ence for less money than it pays
common labor. 1t would be hiring
the uninhibited advice of men
who know more about the bust
ness than anybody else alive.
Under the engineers plan. the
company would provide the re-
tired people with an Office to work
out of. with typists to write up
their reports and ideas, but with
no routine.
1T would give them the free
dom of the Office and plant SO
they could now work on the pet
ideas they never had time for
on the job. 1t would encourage
them just to think for the good
of the company.
1T would use them also as a
fountain of advice and help to
the staff and as sounding
board for the bright ideas that
young men on the staff are
hesitant to take to the boss"
Don't Want to Forfeit

social security and 90 out and

FAMOUS FABLES

GIFT: AS a surprise gift for

President found the finished

For several minutes neither

the police in the city in which
the couple is now living can
locate them.
Doris undoubtedly has psychic

not SO completely turn her back
on he parents and the teachings

The fact that she has sent home

that she still does not want to

would be willing to retire If only
they could get little more in

Most people who retire have

But if he were retired, had

and his $1,000 a year, he just
might kick open the door of
the General Manager some
morning and tell him there was
oil under the building and
that the way the machines in
the plant were running was
stupid.
Nobody-bosses least of all
recognize the treasure of ideas
that lies in the heads of the
people they are retiring.

For a moment, Beecham was
