How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Dedicated to ProIonging Life
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Writes a "perplexed read
er" from Compton. Calf: II
would like to know, DR..
Steincrohn. why the medical
profession (there are except
ions) take such pride in the
furtherance of longevity.
Many persons are kept
alive by new drugs, etc., when
they are no longer mentally
or physically able to function.
I believe this to be a detri-
ment-and in many cases
a denial Of the right to die"
- We doctors take such pride
in the "furtherance Of long
evity" because 1t is at least
one indication that we are
doing a good job. We are died.
icated to prolonging life and
to saving life. Along the line
there is opportunity to bring
comfort emotional as we'll

from pain.
But as you know, there are
times when we fall short of
what we'd like to accomplish.
For example. cut short the
suffering Of one dying from
terminal cancer; or from q
stroke; or of one invaded
for life by an automobile
accident.
OF course, we'd like to re-

Please" Alice said. Please,
Joe. All I ask you to do is to
walk up to your mother and
tell her that we are about to
be married, that you are CIV
ing notice at the Office, and
that you are accepting the
offer from New York. That's
all. No more. You're "a years
of age. A man, joe"
He nodded. "I'll do it," he
said. 1T will kill me, AL, but
I'll do it."
Alice gulped her drink.
Why" she asked softly be-
tween clenched teeth, "is it
going to kill you? When she
got married, she left her
parents. She made a home
for her husband. What's
killing about it, Joe?"
They talked a while long
er. Joe agreed that it would
not kill him; it would prob
ably kill his mother. "She
cries all the time" he said.
Alice was getting high. Let
her cry" she said. 1T might
do her some good" Joe shook
his head.

"I'll drive out and tell nom

Alice asked how momma took

"She surprised me. She real

patted me On the shoulder

selling the house and coming

life, even when her children

recently leaving us each a
nice sum which could bring
a fair return If well invested.
I was very happy for my
sister because I felt that at

working.

ing excellent judgment. They
are trying TO prevent any
complicating infection on the
heart valves. Simple tooth
extraction has som etimes
caused serious trouble in pa
tients with rheumatic heart
disease. Therefore, I advise
that you follow their recon.
mendation. The danger of a
penicillin reaction is minimal
when weighed against the
possibility Of a heart compile
cation.
II it is the injection itself
that disturbs you, 1t is pos
sible that you can obtain
equal protection by taking
the penicillin in pill form.
Usually the penicillin is given
for a few days before extrac-
ton and also for at least 48
hours after.

when I had one tooth pulled.
Now the dentist tells me two
more have to come out. He
got in touch with my doctor
and they both decided that
I had better have some more
penicillin.
Frankly .penicillin
frightens me. I have heard
OF SO many people being al
lergic to 1t. Even in your
column I have read that
patients should not take it
unless they really need it.
"A boy who lives next door
to us has had rheumatic
fever. He recently had a
tooth pulled and didn't take
penicillin-yet he had no bad
effects. Unless they are really
necessary, I'd rather forego
the shots. What do you think,

of her martini glass slowly
around in it's own wet stain.
You have to learn to stand

kept looking at the glass as
she spoke. You have to. It's
your mother or me.
ITS YOU" HE SAID.
II know" Alice said. I'm
conscious Of that. But how
much does a man owe his
mother?" Unconsciously. her
voice began to rise a little
and he laid a gentle hand on
her arm, and she quieted.

"she doesn't want to give
you up"
He nodded. Joe slipped Ills

some money and a little

DEAR ABBY
Some Readers Weren't Shocked
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN

DEAR ABBY: Please print
this for that moron who held
UP her coat to hide a nursing
mother from the eyes of the
world.
What, pray tell. is so
shocking" and disgusting"
about the sight of a mother
sucking her baby? If you
must take it upon yourself to
cloak the evil doings of
others. get busy and look into
those parked cars. Or at the
back rows of our movie
houses. THAT is where the
coat belongs.
DISGUISED
DEAR ABBY: Regarding
Shocked. Mortified and Dis
gusted" at seeing a baby
nursed in public. Adults eat
in public. don't they? Nurs-
ing a baby is natural and
commendable regardless of
where it is done. After all.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Rose is an extremely over
bearing person and all wrong
in this affair. 1t is definitely
not her business to analyze
her sisters marital and eco
nomic situation. or to hand
down judgments.
Women like Rose. who are
seething with criticisms,
grievances and annoyances
about others, need to look in
ward not outward for the
source Of their unhappiness.
Ethel appears to be Of
sound mind and certainly
has sufficient maturity to
know what she wants out of
life.
Ethel should use the
money as she chooses with
out guilt feelings about her
fathers memory.

Among children's books Of
the last two centuries, one of
the most successful has been
''The History of Little Goody
TwoShoes," an almost nau-
seatingly wholesome moral
tale first published by the
English publisher John New
berry in 1765.
There is no known copy Of
the first edition, and there
are only two known copies
Of the second edition Of 1866.
All the very early editions,
both American and English
are in the category. of COL
lectors items and therefore
scarce and valuable.
Typical Of the early Ameri-
can printings is the first
worcester edition, published
by Isaiah Thomas in 1887. A
copy brought $3.50 at q New
York City auction sale a few
years ago. Its title page reads,
in part:
