many things together. II Is
true that young men and
women often accept or reject
one another for petty or fool
ish reasons. but manners Of
the kind that Gloria describes
are not necessarily q super
fetal aspect.
It is inconceivable that
John cannot have discovered
by his late 20s that many
people are offended by the
behavior Gloria describes.
Whether he admits it, John
knows that his actions are
disagreeable to observe. He
may have q perverse desire
to offend others.
Johns manners--or lack
Of them-are an expression
Of a real personality dis
turbance. This may not make
him totally unfit for mar
riage but 1t is certainly some
thing to think about serious
ly. We would not recon-
mend any girls plunging into
q marriage with q man whose
behavior repels her. Con-
trary to Mrs. M. s. notion.
such men are not easily
taught after marriage.
II the marriage is to be q
success, Gloria must heed her

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF,
Skipping Heart Not Always Serious
BY Or. PETER J. sTEINcRoHk

Dear DR.. Steincrohn":
writes Mr.. T. I. p. Of East
st. Louis, III. ION and on.
I have had a skipping heart
for about 40 years. But for
the past year-and-a-half I've
had the heart skips day and
night. My doctor calls them
a harmless 'arrhythmia.' The
skips come and 60 on either
a full or empty stomach.
Smoking doesn't enter into 1t.

calm sort Of person. I neither
hate nor fear. and ! am not
angry at anyone. May ! have

THE FACT that you can
look back on 40 years with
this skip" and are here to
tell about It, should be quite
reassuring. So many people
when they get an occasional
heart ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in
thinking they are going to
die; even when their doctor
does his best to convince
them that their heart is
normal.
q presume that your doc
tors over the years have had
opportunity enough to use
the various drugs that often
bring the heart back to a
normal rhythm (quinidine,
pronestyl. digitalis, sedatives,
etc.,.
Have you seen your doctor
lately? Or are you just civ
ing with discomfort" because
he. hasn't peen aple 10 uelp
you previously?
We can't always deter
mine the cause Of heart skips,
but it is very important to
know in which part Of the
heart they originate. II

been having so many years.

Here Is an amusing letter on
that subject:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: This
Is to relieve the mind of the
writer who was worried about
her husband drinking ice
water. Years ago, when my
husband came home from
work hot and tired. he would
take q little saucepan to the
ice box and I'LL it>about half
full with ice. He would then
I'LL it with water and sit
down with q glass and drink
glass after glass.
II often spoke to him
about the harm Of 1t. ] didn't
think it was good to drink
such cold water when he was
so hot. But he wouldn't listen.
He is past 30 years old now
and has never had any kind
Of stomach trouble. He is
rarely i'll. The trouble now, is
getting him to eat. He eats
so little, and would forget to
eat at all If we didn't re-
mind him. Mrs. r. L. F.p

Mrs. E. e. M. of Washing
ton, d. c., writes: II would
appreciate your opinion on
sleeping pills"
ON THE ONE HAND,
there are thousands of people
who take sleeping pills who
shouldn't: on the other. hum
dreds who would be helped
but don't take them because
they are afraid Of taking
dope"
Sleeping pills are not
"dope." They can be very
helpful. But, as ! have often
emphasized here, should
never be taken without a.
doctors supervision and pre-
scription. They can bring
rest and surcease to many a
nervous, unrested patient.
Too many, however. take
them too long.
Like a crutch. they may be
used to get one over an
. "acute nervous episode"-or
a prolonged anxiety state
and then they should be dis
pensed with. There's many a
sleeping pill addict who could
do without them. When the
doctor advises against taking
them any more, better stop.
