FAMOUS FABLES

SELECTION: Charles
Frohman, the most success
full theatrical manager Of his
time, received hundreds of
manuscripts each year from
aspiring playwrights.
1t was impossible for his
staff to read them all, but
Frohman was too polite to
say no to any writer who
wanted to submit q script.
They kept piling up until
there was scarcely room in
the office for anything else.
One day, when a friend
called and saw the mound Of
scripts, he said:
you mean you go through
all of these to find a hit playP
Is that the secret of your
Success?"

Students choose only those

talked with many students
about this problem.
why don't you want to
study science or medicine or

"Math and science are
hard courses" is the all too
frequent reply. -Four or five
or six years Of studying late
every night-it's not worth
it. And I might not be able

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Symptoms Hint
Of HiotoI Hernia
. BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have had a number Of X
rays for gall Bladder trouble
and also a CT series. The
doctor found no stones either
time. But he said the last
X-ray showed that I have
an upside-down stomach. He
tried to explain, but I still
don't know what an upside
down stomach is.
I have had indigestion for
a long time and always belch
a lot. At night I have gas
spells. Gould these symptoms
be due to the upside-down
stomach? Or do you think I
have a bad gall bladder? I'm
confused.-Mrs. S.
WHO WOULDN'T BE?
Just the name itself-upside-
down stomach-7is enough to
give anybody the willies.
My guess would be that it
isn't your gall bladder that
is causing your trouble. AS
your doctor says, repeated
x-rays have been negative.
But as for the stomach, X
rays show you have enough
abnormality there to give
you the gassy spells and in
digestion.
Usually, the misused term
upside down stomach"
means that the patient has
an hiatal hernia. Due to a
weakness in the diaphragm,

may slip UP into the chest
cavity. Usually 1t is not a

serious condition, but it can
be stubborn.
I tell such patients not to
eat any heavy meals, espe-
cially before retiring, and to
sleep high" on three or four
pillows, to prevent the stom-
ach slipping into the chest.
Sometimes these patients
need sedatives and antispas-
modes to relax the stomach.
If you don't overburden
your stomach, and treat it
with respect-chances are
that such medicinal treat
ment alone will keep the hia-
tai hernia under control.
However, there are some cases
which yield only to surgery.
It's better to give medical
treatment a chance first.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: L
have osteoarthritis and am
being treated with cortisone.
I have been told that aspirin
is just as effective. What do
you think?-Bewildered.
IN THE common form of
arthritis called osteoarthritis
and due to degenerative
changes found in most peo-
pie after 40, I think that If
aspirin does the job of CIV
ing comfort, I'd prefer tax
ing it than cortisone pro-
ducts over months and years.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
70, never had an ache or a
pain nor an illness other
than the mumps when I was
a child. I walk three miles
a day. I feel fine, but I sit
down to read and in a few
minutes I am in the arms
of Morpheus.
Is this what is known as
galloping senility? Is the old
man with the scythe stalking
me? Reading has been my
hobby and pastime for
many years. Now I'm losing
my hobby because I can't
stay awake to read. What's
wrong with me?-Mr. C.
LISTEN young man (and
I'm not being facetious-be-
cause you seem to have a
lot Of spirit that goes with
youthfulness) forget that the
bearded old man is stalking
YOU. I know many in their
40s and sos who can't stay
awake. They fall asleep with
a book, while watching tel
evision, when at a movie and
at lectures (even good ones) /.
Do you read in bed? If so,
try a chair. Most of us can't
fight the comfort of bed
when reading. We soon sur
render to sleep. This hobby
means so much to you, I
