Correciing a Hernia

You don't have to do hard man- ual labor to develop a hernia. While the inguinal hernia is frequently found in laborers, others also suffer, no matter what their occupation. Children get them, too.

A hernia is a rupture. and an in- guinal hernia is the most common type. The inguinal area is the sec- tion where your thigh meets your body.

Weak Wall

A hernia is simply it protrusion which results when the abdominal wall has a weak section. The pro- trusion is a sac Whlth may contain omentum or fat or a portion of the small or large bowel or bladder. Or it may contain a combination of these organs. x

You may cause a hernia by lifting a heavy weight. by straining or even by coughing. If a father has

become attached to the inside of the sac. in which case. it cannot be re- turned to its proper position. This is called an irreducible hernia.

A Serious Condition

An irreducible hernia is a serious matter. In such a condition. the sac and its contents are constantly out- side the abdominal cavity. You can readily see they then become sus- ceptible to further injury or con- strlctlon.

Now this may interrupt the nor- mal flow of the contents of the iii- testine and may even shut off the blood supply. causing gangrene. This calls for surgery to correct the condition.

By surgery. we can return the contents of the sac to their normal position and remove the sac en- 5 tirely. Through surgery we can also-strengthen the weakened ab- " domlnal wall.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

M. W.: What causes moles on the face and body? is there any way of getting rid of them?

Answer: Moles are usually con- e genital. that is. they are present at birth, although they may enlarge considerably after birth.

Certain types of moles should be left alone. Your physician will de- termine whether or not removal is necessary in your particular case.

Obiecis to Exchange Oi Kisses at Parties

DEAR MARY IIAWORTH: Now that the holiday parties are put. I wish to breach a problem that is fresh in my mind. It isn't like me to take up , ' problems with strangers. but apparently I have become a celebrated '.'stuffed shirt" in the social circles I fre- quent.

My question is. lust how far can married people go. in a presum- ably frlendly exchange of kisses and genial familiarity, with other guests at parties-and not be prom- iscuous? There is a great den of this kind of antic affection at oil- day parties; and in my younger days it held little if-any signifi- cance for me. I just considered it

part of the holiday spirit.

But now I am an older man,

with membership in a social club. and a professional status that re- quires my presence at parties. I am increasingly embarrassed by so much unabashed physical con- tact with other men's wives. with their mates standing by. Frankly I feel like a fool when some mar- ried woman is mauling me, while herfhusband looks on with a sheep- lsh grin. aware of my obvious dis-

comfort.

Moreover. at my club I have been witness to two nasty scenes. keyed to threats of violence. trig- gered off by this supposedly "good natured" kissing and hugging. Ap- parently the era of th brief warm handclasp and the cup of tea as a gesture of friendship has be re- placed by the warm lingerin kiss and two quick cocktails. Perhaps I too belong to a social era that has passed. What do you think?

- S. S. Matter of Taste Mosfly. We Think DEAR S. S.: Loads of people. young. old and middle age, feel as you do towards indiscriminate hugger:-and-kissers. --they don't like to be publicly embraced when it means nothing. except maullng, from their viewpoint. So there's nothing ”old hat", or passee. or

like of the experience. It is simply a matter of taste.

Indeed the whole phenomenon of social embracing of Tom. Dick and Harry is a question of taste. really. Whether it is in good or bad taste depends upon the persons. the cir- cumstances, the motives of the ag-

las Bader arrived here Wednesday gresson and so on.

If the kissing kind are enthus- iastically indlscriminate. saluting cgerybody within reach (who can't escape), it is safe to say that their intentions are more prankish than erotic. In any case. the poised re- action. 1! you don't like it. is to break the clutch immediately and cheerfully-sugar coating the ta-

about something or other. As for example "How are you Jane? Looking lovely a usual I see." Or "Wonderful part isn't it? May I get you some food - or drink?"

reducing diet will knock off pounds. but, alas. it won't tighten flabby muscles.

Reason this way. The shape of the silhouette depends on muscle tone. Muscles that lack tone can't hugtlieflgumantlsooncrorlater as your muscles give wly. You're forced into a larger dress size. willy-nllly. But a little regular exer- cise restores claatlcltyy to the fig-

ure controlling and gives better shape -- and you, too.

Then too. exercise is a circula- tion rouser. It stirs up the fat cells from the spot that is being exer- cised and gets them into circula- tion. And then freed calories are then ready to be used for energy . . provided they are needed for fuel. That's where diet fits in . . . When the intake of ' ' is out below the required amount, stored fat is burned and weight drops. -

summed up: With exercise alone. you can tone useles and meas- ure slimmer. With a diet alone. you lose weight but do not tone the muscles. Back up diet with a small amount of regulli exercise and you can lose weight and inches.
