FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

INTE ERR TION:.
Alexander Graham Bells in
vention of the telephone
changed the social habits of
the nation. It also changed
his own work habits.
Bell, who did his work
during regular business hours,
began doing less and less
during the day and more and
more late at night. When a
friend asked him why, he
explained:
cts the only way I can
get anything done. People
keep phoning me during the
day"

"Is it a collect call?" asked
Jacobs.

all Docs prescriptions in the
local pharmacy. They said
he was lover prescribing"
and using the surplus for
himself. He sal dthey were
liars.
The people who Spurned
Doc before ran to his side.
Overnight, he had a lot of
friends. The State Medical
Board suspended Docs Ii
cense, even though nothing
had been proved against
him. Doc practiced more
medicine without the license
than he did when he had
one.
He was great with chill
dren. On cold nights, the
poor used to call him to
come take a look at q
youngster with a fever. Doc
never refused. When they Of
fered him a couple of dollars,
he would say: You can't
pay me. I'm no doctor un-
til they give back the license"
In time, the matter was
dropped. So Doc demanded
his license back, and the
medical association said no,
then it said maybe. After a
couple of years, it ran out
of excuses.
Doc sent a note to me in
Miami. I'm in practice
again." he said. I've Just
finished two years on the
wagon and feel great"
Doc was busy again. Peo-
pie flocked to his place and
he had to get a nurse and
a list OF appointments.
Sometimes, when he was
examining someone, Doc had
to excuse himself. His face
Stiffened into a mask, the
dimples died, the teeth
clenched, and he would fall
on the floor. When he re-
covered, he would apologize
and say that he had heart
damage.
NO ONE KNOWS the
secret sorrows inside Doc. He
was 54, a sturdy little man
with a gallant bow and a
fedora which was always
lifted for the ladies. He had
the sorrows, but he refused
to share them with anyone.
He also had the pain, al
though he never mentioned
it.
A month ago, the burden
became heavy and he got
drunk and tried to kill him
self. In the hospital, he
thought it funny he failed
at it. Last week, he sustained
an attack. The mask came
on and he fell to the floor.
The dimples died with the
smile.

Suburbio Hos Troubles, Too

DEAR ABBY: When we
bought this house in the
country, the real estate
dealer said it was a fashion
able suburban district.
The people next door to
us must think they are liv-
ing 100 miles from nowhere.
Every morning, when the
husband is running for the
bus. his wife yells after him
what to bring home from
the store. And at midnight
their 6-year-old boy is still
up playing with his guns.
I was criticized for keep
ing my screen door latched.
I was told that people who
live in the suburbs trust"
each other. Yet ! can't leave
the milk money in the milk
bottles because somebody al
ways gets it before my milk
man. Have you any advice
for a disguised suburbanite?
DISGUSTED.
Tell your neighbOrs to
keep the noise down. Pay
your milkman by the month.
Lock your door and enjoy
the country-Or else, move
back to the city!

the details?

It has gotten so that my

DEAR ABBY: What, ex-
Evening star., 1961-07-28

One OF Woman'S most for
mindable enemies is fatigue.
Like a wolf in the proven
bial sleeps clothing, it
Stealthily creeps up and is
not recognized as a potential
danger to the happiness of
the home. The wife and
mother is the focal point.
More than she realizes, she
sets the stage for either con-
tent or discomfort in her
family; the perpetually tired
woman unconsciously breeds
family displeasure and pro-
notes daily pickering and
unhappinesS. (You can't be
happy when you're dead on
your feet.")
The husband soon begins
to resent a tired wife; and
the children are bewildered
by the unfair demands and
outburStS of temper of a
mother who sis so tired she
could cry"
THE ONLY WAY to over
come fatigue is to recognize
it as a major enemy-not
to accept it as a necessary
adjunct Of modern life. Don't
blame it on housework and
the unremitting care of rails
ing a family. Don't just sur
render to it. If you want a
happy life, your job is to
discover the cause of fatigue.
Sometimes you can do the
detective work yourself.
Do you shop too much?
Do you clean house too
much. Do you run your house
in helter- -skelter fashion, or
do you plan your time and
try not to put in 80 hours
of work in a "a hour day? Do
you get sufficient sleep? Do
you take time off for an
afternoon nap? Have you
taken on too many outside
obligations such as bridge
club meetings, community
organizations? In other
words, have you taken fire.
quent inventory of your way
of life?
If self-survey doesn't come
up with the answer, then it
is time to consult your
doctor. For persistent fatigue
is often the first warning
of illness. You may have a
secondary anemia which re-
quires treatment. Your thy
roid may be underactive.
Anxiety may be a factor.
Proper treatment of these
conditions may give you a
reservoir of new energy. Or,
there may be some other
cause, more serious, which
you and your doctor must
overcome.
Whatever the reason, don't
accept fatigue as one of the
natural inconvenience one
must expect as a part of
living in the goth century.
This is the easy way out.
Don't buy it. The price is
often too high.

self to simple definition. For
example, when I say that it
causes granuloma formation,
you really know little more
about it. All you need to
know is that the condition
is sometimes confused with
Hodgkin's disease, tubercu-
losis and cancer. 1t attacks
the lungs. glands, eyes, skin
and many other organs. We
don't know what causes it,
except that most patients
with the condition come
from rural areas. Negroes
have it more often than
whites in q ratio of about
IL to one.
It is not an especially
dangerous condition, but it
can be acute Causing severe
disturbances, or turn into
a chronic condition which
lasts for many years. We use
corticosteroids in treatment,
among other things, but
there is no specific remedy.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband has an ulcer. His
doctor who is a personal
friend, has told him to stop

in you. Therefore I hope you
will write something about
the effect of tobacco on
ulcers. Sincerely. "A worried

I don't go quite that far,
but I make it a rule to
paint the picture clearly.
Some ulcer patients def
initely go downhill if they
continue to smoke. There
fore, they know before they
leave the office, that they
are inviting hemorrhage or
perforation of the stomach
or intestine if they won't
break the habit.
I think that's as far as
the doctor should go. He

REPORTER
Doc Kept His Pain to Himself

Doc got into the town
four years ago. He was a
ruddy man with a mustache,
a fresh gardenia, and
dimples. He hammered his
shingle next door to a res
taurant. The office was up
stairs. Nobody went to see
him because nobody knew
him.
The village never had
a regular doctor. The people
are clannish and suspicious
of strangers.
THERE WERE STORIES
about him. If Doc heard
them, he never said any,
thing. The first was that he
was a boozer. The second
was that he was a narcotics
addict. The people told the
stories from behind their
hands. Doc showed his
dimples, adjusted the snowy
flower in his lapel, and said
nothing.
Once, in a burst of con-
fidence. he said: "Someday
I'll give the whole story to
you" When he was loaded,
he gave a couple of us a
learned dissertation on pain,
and tolerance of pain.
No one ever got to know
Doc inside, The chips and
pieces of his mosaic were
never filled out, although we
found out that he was once
a pretty good doctor in a
big city. He had a wife and
a couple of children who
left him and went far away.
Once, he had signed him
self into the Public Health
Institute at Lexington, KY.
This place is for drug ad-
diets, and it ruined him in
the big city, although he
told me he only did it to
prove to a Federal Judge that
he was not an addict.
Doc began to get a few
patients. mostly old ladies
on social security with ar
thritic fingers, and crochety
gaffers who weren't sure
where they hurt. One busy
body went to the big city
and found out that Doc was
a war hero. He had been
wounded so badly that parts
of his chest had been put
back in sections. and the
heart had been operated on
to make it function.
The pain had been fierce,
and the military doctors
gave him drugs to help him
through. He never talked
about the war to me. Doc
never said he had been put
on drugs by others. He was
in the village about a year
when the State troopers
picked him up.
The charge was using mar
coticS. They took him to
Jail. Investigators went over

isn't a little God who has
the right to live the patients
life for him. Each of us has
the right to make his choice.
But isn't it silly to keep
walking toward the edge of
a cliff when you've been
given warning?
