DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:

DEAR DR.. STEINCROHN:
I have a neighbor with three
children ranging from 3 to
IL. The 3-year-old weighs Is
pounds. His nose, and that
of the other children, runs
constantly. He cries off and
on all day long. Their main
diet is beans, potatoes and
bread.
"The mother gives her chill
dren no milk. Even the s.
year-old drinks tea and cof-
fee. ! have lived next to them
four years and it's hard to
believe that a family Of five
persons can spend only $40
a week on food. The father
makes more than $500 a
month-and they never go
to a doctor. so it's not spent
on any medical advice.
II keep telling this neigh
Dor that her children will get
rickets. She tells me that
children don't need fancy
food. They don't need fruit
to grow, she says, or vege-
tables, milk and meat. All
they have is a starch diet and
she wonders why the young
sters are hungry all the time.
I'D like to wake her up
because that 3-year-old is
driving everyone crazy with
his crying. I'd like to scare
her, If it's possible, into tax
ing the little fellow to a doc
tor for a good checkup.-Mrs.
G.. Texas"
I WISH I COULD HELP,
Evening star., 1960-02-10

She tells lies. plays hooky
from school, never does any
homework and never takes
care of her own things.
When I was her age, I not
only took care Of my clothes
but hers and sometimes my
mothers as well.
Now that Dorothy is old
enough to go out with boys
I think she might get into
serious trouble. I have been
trying to get my parents to
take her to a pSychiatrist,
but they won't do it. They're
ashamed to admit she's nuts.
Mrs. L. X. - Dorothy Is
more of a headache than
Judy was at her age, but
I'm not sure which of them
is more Of a headache right
now. Sometimes I think
Judy will drive me out of
my mind with her scream
ing that Dorothy is a men,
tai case.
I feel that Judy makes
Dorothy worse by constantly
keeping after her for every
little thing. Dorothy just
wants to get out Of the house
and I don't blame her. I
think there is something to
worry about as far as boys
are concerned, but I don't
think going to a psychiatrist
will stop her from anything.
My husband and I feel that
Dorothy is just a kid and
shouldn't have the stigma of
being a mental case attached
to her.
The COUNCILS VIEW
Visiting a psychiatrist does
not involve taking on any
more Of a stigma than going
to any doctor. Thousands of
people are under psychiatric
treatment-unknown to fam
lily, friends and business
associates.
We do not think Dorothy
should be dragged OF to a
psychiatrist against her will,
but II she shows @ desire to
discuss her problems with a
competent doctor, her par
ents should give her the op-
portunity. Our guess is that
this doctor might be inter-
ested in having a chat with
Sister Judy.

I know Of no hormone or

or massage treatments that
are effective in helping your

AS to what kind of doctor
to contact to correct your
problem, my answer is: "Just
make sure that you don't fall
for the Establishments and
promises of some quack." I'd
see q recognized orthopedist.
If he can make no remedial
suggestions, better accept this

1--WE HAD ANGINA for
about a year. I have been
taking one or two nitroglyc-
crime tablets a day for the
chest pain. I have a feeling
I'd be more comfortable II I
took a few more every day.
Are they harmful?"-Mr. K,
Miami. Fla.
NO DOUBT your doctor
has given you directions on
how to take nitroglycerine. I
can't make specific sugges-
tions in your case. However,
you may find some help in
these general observations
about nitroglycerine:
l. Be sure your nitroglyc-
crime pills are fresh. Stale
pills lose their effectiveness.
Therefore. buy them in small
quantities.
2. Do you know how to take
them? Don't swallow them.
Some patients wait until they
dissolve under the tongue.
Don't do that either. It's bet
ter to actually bite them or
crunch them. The effect will
be faster and better.
8. Don't let the name mo
troglycerine" scare you. You
won't "blow up" I have had
patients on as many as two
dozen pills a day for years.
Trouble is that many pa
tients don't take as many as
they actually need because Of
the false idea that too many
are harmful.
Remember these few sug-
gestions' and you will have
your angina under better
control.

FAMOUS FABLES
By Z. E. EDGAR

CONTRACT: During g his
first three years with the
New York Yankees. first base
man Lou Gehrig established
himself as one of the great
stars Of the game. However,
his talent was not reflected in
his pay check, as Gehrig was
still a callow youth in matters
financial.
His teammate Babe Ruth,
a veteran Of many a contract
squabble, decided to take him
in hand.
Listen. kid" the Babe told
him when contract time rolled
around, you're worth $780,
900 If you're worth q nickel.
Promise me you won't take
less"
II promise" said Gehrig.
A few days later, 1t was
revealed that he had signed a
two year contract at $4,000
a year. Ruth was furious.
What got into you. kid?"
he growled. Didn't you
promise me you wouldn't take
less than $30,000?"
Gehrig stared at him in be.

protested. Didn't you hear?

Don't Spank the Sick Child!
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

A cat can look at a king;
but the doctor can order the
king around.
Is it any wonder that we
doctors sometimes get out
of hand-because Of the ma
ture of our work-and take
on too much responsibility?
An empire may be in danger.
but we say to the king: Stay
in bed!" There are not
many kings left. What I
am really saying is that
everyone (when health and
life are at stake) is at the
mercy Of his own doctors
judgment.
Having known hundreds of
doctors in my day, I am
happy to say that the human
race Is fortunate in having
such dedicated people as a
segment of its society. And
please forgive us on those
occasions when we become
impatient. For example,
consider this letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I

in the hospital for over q
year with a very bad heart.
He is home now and has
got out Of hand. We can't
do anything with him. We
are afraid to strap him be-
cause when we try to punish
him he has a fit of crying.
We think he will make
himself sick. But he is too
much out of hand. My ques-
ton is. would a good spank
ing or punishment hurt him?
Or what do you suggest?-

been having pain at the end

ASSUMING THAT my dis
tant diagnosis is correct, you
have coccygodynia common
ly called painful back-end~.
This can be a painful and
troublesome condition. You
should go to your doctor to
discover the cause. Probably
he will order X-rays to rule
out fracture, dislocation or
arthritic changes in the coc-
cyX bone.
Some patients really suffer.
The treatment will depend
upon the cause, but in most
cases 1t is rest. Try to keep
the body weight of the little
bone at the end of your spine
(coccyX). Sit on a firm chair

have had good luck with
adhesive strappings or with
prescribing a sacroiliac belt.
Heat and massage often help.
AS for drug treatments, in
jections of hydrocortisone or
procaine hydrochloride have
helped some patients. In
stubborn cases, operation Is
sometimes necessary.
I repeat that diagnosis is
most important. The trouble
may be due to a normal coc-
cyx in a psychoneurotic per.
sonality; or to a local tumor,
tuberculosis or something
else. Whatever the cause, be
prepared for discomfort
which sometimes lasts for
weeks or months. But don't
ever let 1t go that long with
out treatment.
