NitrogKcerine

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: ! am
~ years old. A few years ago.
I had a heart attack. I am
now feeling fine except I
occasionally have to take
nitrOglycerine. ! have been
told that these pills should
not be relied upon II they
become stale. How often shall
! buy them? Sincerely. Mr..
ID. v.
I recall one man who used
to say that nitroglycerine never
helped his anginal pains. They
used to help when I first began
to take them" he said. But
not any more" On questioning
I learned that, instead Of buy
ing 20 pills as suggested. he had
bought q couple Of hundred
so he wouldn't be bothered 60
ing to the drug store all the
time.
Naturally. his nitroglycerine
had become stale and useless.
When he bought frequent sup
plies in small amounts he told
me nov the chest pain van
ishes like magic when l put one
under my tongue"
All patients with angina
should remember to stock up
on their nitroglycerine every
few weeks rather than every
few months.

Helen MIN having mother

its two mothers-in-law.
Z am ready to show every
respect and consideration to my
husbands mother, but when it
comes to his sister. I draw the
line. This older sister is single
and lives with her mother. She
takes a very critical attitude
toward me, tries to boss me
around. yet wants to be in
vited along on all our vacations,
evenings out. etc. Last sum-
mer, both she and Arnold's
mother came on our vacation
and I felt as though I had two
mothers-in-law on my back at
every moment.
I have two young children to
bring up and this is making me
a nervous WRECK.
Arnold NJ know my sister
Celia can be a pest. but Helen
should consider this--if Celia
didn't stay with my mother and
take care of her, we would have
to have Mother living with us.
And Mother really can be diff

I feel very sorry about Celia.
She was married at II TO q

her on men and life in general.
She never wanted to marry
again after this guy ran out on
her. She has a hard life, cater

feel we should treat her well
and provide her with a little
change and entertainment.
II l didn't try to do some
thing for Celia, she would be
left with nothing but work.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We agree that Arnold has q
duty to fulfill in relation to his
mother and sister, but we think
h. has gone a little overheard
on exactly what his response
billties are.
II is certainly unfair TO bur-
den the sister with the entire
responsibility for the care OF
the mother. Arnold owes his
sister respite. He should be

sympathy for her, but 1t is not
his business TO make up TO her

Nothing he can do would bring
her any real happiness in life.
Pleasure and relaxation will
not come to her until she is
ready to give something Of her.
self to others. She must find
her own friends and own in
terests.
Arnold Is actually doing his
sister a disservice by allowing
her to depend upon him for her
good times. She cannot enjoy
herself when he takes her along
out Of q sense Of duty. She
needs to win her way among
people. When she has earned
the right to be liked and in
vited to join a group. she can
participate heartily, feeling
that she is really wanted.
Among outsiders, she will also
feel a responsibility for con-
tributing to the pleasure Of the
outing and will not give free
rein to her surly feelings.
We also wonder whether
Arnold's mother is quite as
helpless as Arnold seems to
believe. Celia may have made
this woman more helpless than
necessary out Of her own need
for a purpose in life.

Shortness of Breath as q Symptom

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: My

he doesn't believe in doctors
and won't do anything about

but suddenly finds his mouth
wide open and he "pants,"
but not quite as fast as a

TO breathe like an athlete

He Is over 20. Could that

He has had trouble over

AS for the possible causes Of
his embarrassment in breath

common is heart disease. His
heart may be enlarged due to
Iongstanding coronary disease,
high blood pressure or arterio-
Sclerosis. These may cause
chronic passive congestion in
his lungs which accounts for
the shortness Of breath on
exertion.
On the other hand. his heart
may be all right. I have seen

In the first instance, your

The parent-child relation
ship is not one of complete
freedom. And one of the ways
in which 1t is restricted by law
are the limitations placed on
parents regarding what they
may permit their children to
do.
Even teen-agers cannot be
given parental sanction to take
part in some endeayors which,
at a later date. would be quite
permissible.

in Chicago not long ago after
