anything else, although ia

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Do Commissions
Mean Epilepsy?
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
three-year-old son has had
two commissions every year Of
his life. They come on only
when he has fever due to an
attack Of tonsillitis. They last
only a few minutes. What I
am concerned about is cpl
lepsy. VIII you discuss my
problem?-Mrs. E.
SOME CHILDREN are
more susceptible to convul-
sions than others. In them,
it is not uncommon for simple
fever commissions" to come
on in the latter part Of the
first year; and to disappear
by the time they are about
six. They have one or two
commissions a year which
lasts only two to three min
utes, and come on soon after
the onset of fever. Under such
circumstances I think most
mothers can stop worrying
about the possibility Of cpl
lepSy.
But this is important: The
possibility of epilepsy should
be kept in mind if the con-
vulsions last beyond the age
Of six. or If a previously con-
vulsion-free child begins hav-
ing them after the age of six
or seven. Also, If the con-
vulSionS occur more frequent
ly; sometimes every day for
q while. And if they last
many minutes, or even hours.
If your family doctor or
pediatrician is in doubt, he
will order an electroenceph-
alogram (brain wave ex-
amination) to make the dag
nosis. But it is important to
remember that such an ex-
animation should not be
made until at least two to
three weeks after the fever
has subsidized; otherwise the
fever itself may cause changes
in the test which interfere
with the correct diagnosis.
Removing infected tonsils
often prevents fever convul-
sions in children who have

mother-in-law. She was also

centered and irritable. I re-
allied that a mother and son

How would you like to help
your primary school child be-
come a better reader this
summer?
You can do it simply by
providing him with the back
ground that gives meaning
to the printed words. Here
are some suggestions:
o Give your child a variety
Of experiences. Encourage
him to observe things like a
bird building her nest under
the caves or a street cleaner
and his whirring machine or
a ditch digger welding a
shovel.
Then talk to him about his
experiences. This is your
chance to help him associate
the correct meanings with
the words he uses.
o Have him draw pitures
and make up stories about
them. This increases his .vo-
cabulary and conditions him
to recognize words later in
books.
o Read to him. And read
to him again. Be ready to
read the Mother Goose
rhymes over and over. And,

BromhidroSiS is a term
given to a condition in which
the sweat glands become
overactive, producing bad
odor to the sweat. Patients
become quite sensitive to this
body odor, which sometimes
