The doctor is the one who
must make a decision about
Pauline's physical condition.
We are concerned about her
emotional health, which can
not possible be good under
the present conditions, and
which may be affecting her
physical condition.
Pauline needs to feel that
she is a good wife and
mother. Her sense of failure
prevents her doing anything
to improve her situation. Her
first thought in the morning
is that everything is a mess
and is too much to cope with.
Then she can't find the
energy to start her tasks in
an organized way.
There is nothing Pauline
needs less than Albert's criti-
cism and nothing she needs
more than his love and en-
couragement. When his wife's
selfconf1dence has been built

How to

Mother Nature Called Captain
FROM NINE TO FIVE
By DR.. PETER ]. sTEINeRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Hav-
ing recently had much illness
in our family, I am thankful
for doctors. I give them a
lot of cerdit. But isn't it true
that Mother Nature deserves
some thanks too?-Mrs. s.
THE DOCTOR gratefully
acknowledges all the help he
can get in healing the sick.
Actually, Mother Nature is
the captain of the ship; we
doctors are just first mates.
We meet the problems and
do our best to solve them. But
the final solution-or fail
ure- often depends upon
each individuals resistance to
disease and accident.
For example, take two
people with pneumonia. One
is a man of rs and the other
a boy Of IS. Laboratory tests
show that the germ is
identical and that only a
part of one lung is infected
in each case. Treatment is
the same. Antibiotics and
all the modern methods for
fighting pneumonia are used.
in the teen-ager and in the
older man. Yet, here is what
occasionally happens. The
youngster fails to recover and
the apparently weak old man
lives on into his 80S.
The answer: The 75-year-
old had Mother Nature on his
side. (Call it better resistance
or what you will.)
The skillful surgeon re-
moves a greater part of a
patients stomach; or removes
a gall bladder; or operates
on cancer of the breast. Of
course, the outcome depends
on how good your surgeon is.
The better the doctor. the
better the patients chance
for recovery.
But however good the doc
tor, he is always grateful for
help from Mother Nature.
That is why a doctor can't
be an excellent doctor unless
he is humble; unless he has
faith and hope that some un-
measured strength within his
patient will help him over
come his illness.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is
there a way to prevent colds?
Somebody in our family is
always down with one. Lucki-
ly there have been no bad
complications like ear trou-
BILE or pneumonia. but the
colds are a nuisance. How
can we protect our four
youngsters from these pesky
infections?"-Mrs. E., Indi-
anopolis.
I KNOW OF NO specific
vaccine, drug or treatment
that will prevent colds. Many
people swear by cold vac
cines, vitamin injections and
similar preventive measures.
I doubt that they do the job
intended. #a
Nevertheless, / am not rec
ommending a "do-nothing"
attitude. There are some
common-sense measures all
Of us can take to manage the
cold problem. The most diff
flcult job is protecting your
youngsters.
If you look back, you will
recall that when they were
infants, they had relatively
few colds. That was because
they were exposed only to
family members.
AS they grew up, however,
they came in contact with
hundreds Of people-many of
whom were spreading cold
germs by coughing, sneezing.
etc. Schools, movie houses,
department stores (any place
where crowds congregate)
are breeding grounds. 1t is
not feasible for any of us to
walk around with protective
face masks. Fortunately, as
we become more and more
exposed to colds, we may be-
come immune to several
varieties.
If your youngster comes
down with the Sniffles and
feels achy, put him into bed
and give him plenty of fluids

II, after such treatment,
he gets a fever that goes
higher and higher, better not

home remedies. Call in your
doctor to make sure there
are no complications.
For years, ! have been
hearing differences of opin-
ion about the effect of drafts.
Some doctors say they don't
cause colds. My personal be-
lief is that many people are
definitely susceptible to a
breeze around their ankles or
one that creeps down their
neck. They soon begin to
sneeze and feel uncomfort-
able.
For those of you, who like
myself. are acutely sensitive
to drafts, / suggest that you
don't allow yourself to be
laughed out of your predica-
ment. If sitting near an air
conditioning outlet in the
movies, move. If near an
open window during q con-
cert or lecture or other meet
ing. better move. Many a
cold will be prevented that
way.
Allowing yourself to get
caught in a draft; or get
ting your feet wet; or get
ting chilled; not washing
your hands well before eat
ing; getting a cough-spray
from a person with a cold are
but a few ways Of catching
cold. OF course, much will
depend upon whether you
are immune to a particular
virus that is raising havoc
at the time.
ANOTHER POINT: Shall
you feed a cold and starve a
fever? My answer to patients
is this: 1t all depends upon
your appetite. If you are
hungry. eat all you can COM
fortably, even though you
have fever. If you are not
hungry, it is silly to feed a
cold"
No matter how many years
you have been smoking ciga-
retteS, breaking the habit
suddenly will not harm your
system. Incidentally, stop
ping suddenly" is the BEST
way to stop smoking.

Youngsters In the early
teens go in for steady dating
as a means of learning to
socialize. The custom operates
like a pair of water wings
for a beginner swimmer. But
the beginner doesn't really
learn to swim until he gives
up the wings.
In the future when Bert
starts going steady" he
must consider it a prelimi-
nary step toward an engage
ment-so we'd recommend
that he swim around freely
for a few years until he feels
ready to look around for a
lifetime partner.
