STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Are
pills that curb the appetite
safe to take?-Mrs. S.
DON'T HESITATE to take
them when prescribed by
your doctor. They can be
used for a few weeks (even
for months as a temporary
crutch to get you over the
initial hump of reducing. But
I have known patients who
insisted, in spite of warning,
to take these pills on their
own for a long time.
Self-treatment can get you
into trouble. The time must
come, when on a reducing
schedule, that you rely on
raw. unadulterated will power
in ste a d of appetite re-
ducers."
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
a 20-year-old girl with warts
on my hand and my chin. I
have taken pills, had them
burned off, soaked them in a
vile = smelling solution, have
taken $18 worth Of vitamin A
pills, but I still have my
warts.
Somebody suggested hyp-
notism. What do you think?
Would that cure me? I go on
mad diets once in a while.
Do you think that might
cause the warts?-Miss w.
1 BELIEVE there is no
connection between your diet
and your warts. Although
there is a place for hyp-
notism in modern medicine,
I doubt that you should un-
dergo this procedure for the
treatment of warts. Mumbo-
jumbo might be just as effec-
tive.
If your present doctor
hasn't been able to help, I'm
sure he will be willing to
refer you to a dermatologist
(skin specialist) for addi-
tional opinion and advice.
Dear DR.. Steincroh hn:
Should a man who feels
perfectly well and has no
