EFFECT OF CHRONIC DISEASE OR. DISABILITY ON OUR. MENTAL AND EMO- TIONAL SIAKEIJP

When we see a man or woman disfigured with a chronic skin dis- case, most of us feel that if the disease could be cured or made less unsightly, that would be the end of the story. skin specialists, psychologists and psychiatrists tell us that the chronic skin disease may be 3 starting cause of other conditions present. and that these conditions are just as important to the pat- lent's health and happiness as the skin ailment.

In The British Lancet. Dr. M Hewitt states that to date little attention has both paid to occup- ational i'escttlemcnt of cases of prolonged incapacity through skin disease. Based on his experience in employment exchanges in the northwest of England, he com- ments on the extent of the prob- lcm and on the l'csCLtlel'ncIlt re- sults in a group of thesc patients He rcvicivs the hi.-toigv of .30 unem- ployed pcrsons who had failed to adapt themselves to their skin dis- ability.

These 50 patients (43 men and 7 wcmcni were medically examined and their occupational. social and medical history takvn in detail.

It was evident that unemploy- ment along them was due to more than one factor. Those factors were investigated carefully.

The illl('llIllZS show that the skin disease itself was much less im- portant than ghost nf the other factors intnrfering with tlicir em- ployment. The important causes of unemployment were social and domestic problems and unsatisfac- tory work records.

It was soon also that inipcrfect mental adaptation to chronic dis- ability plays a great part. in long- continued sick absence from work and unemployment amongst dis- abled persons, particularly those with chronic skin disease.

Dr. Hewitt believes that his in- vestigation serves to show the close relation between the disab- ility state. social environment and occupational record; it illustrates also that each of these factors can be fully appreciated only by con- sideration of all the other factors.

I believe most of us would react to chronic skin disease or other disability as did the workers men- tioned above. Calling attention to the above reaction to 2. chronic disease should be of interest to

Misses Courting 'Days

or-:.m MISS DIX: I am 21 years old and have had: married almost two and a half years. I cannot seem to get used to the far?! that my husband is not going to treat me the way he did when e was courting me. Our marriage would be a perfect one if we did not argue over this matter. He tells me that every mtln Chlilliel after he marries. but I don't think it is fair to give a girl such a build-up, then marry her and take everything for granted. I-lo ll 3 good husband otherwise, considerate. doesnt drink or gumble, works hard. My only complaint ls that he doesn't show his love for me as much as I think he should.

husband who works hard to support you and give you a pleasant home. What are you doing to help him? Do you keep a nice liornc. cook nttrnctlve, nourishing meals? Are you learning any household art that will aid you in adding to your home? Or do you spend the day dreaming about the courtship days of two years ago and thinking up new rt-proacnes with which to bernte your poor husband when he comes home?

You are supposed to be grown up when you marry. and ti grown- up woman-evcn one as young as 21-can think of lots of things to do besides romancing. Naturally you want your husband to love you, and he undoubtedly docs. l3ut vou can't expect him to show it every minute of the day with flattery and petting. He is providing good support for you. and all he gets in return is nagging. Is that fair exchange? Your childhood is over. Mrs. L. Begin now to be a real hclpmate and wife.

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think it is right for a wife to write love letters for her sister to her boy friend? My wife has been doing this for a good while and although her sister can't write too well. I think if she loves her boy friend she should write her own letters. I am very jealous of my wife and I don't think she should write these letters for her sister. The boy friend is in the Marines.

BILL

ANSWER: Of course your sister-in-law should be writing her own letters. I'm sure if her boy friend knew of the deception he would be as annoyed as you are. There really is no great harm in your wife's helping her sister out. however. The sister is simply re- sorting to any means to make a good impression on her Marine. Not an uncommon feminine failing, either. I might add. You are more upset over the matter than its importance warrants. I'm sure if both ladies knew how perturbed you are. Sister would take over her own correspondence.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a wonderful wife and 15-month-old baby. Although my wife takes her to a baby doctor, she does not follow his directions. especially in the matter of feeding. The baby gets whatever we have. and not. in my opinion. enough vegetables. I. come from another country where babies are fed regularly and given lots of fruit and vegetables. Iim afraid she will grow up nerv- ous if she isn't properly fed now.

I A. N. I ANSWER: 'Your wife is making A big mistake if she doesn't fol- ow her doctors directions on the feeding of her child. With baby V9Fel”bl95 50 readily Mullable. there's no excuse for a baby to lack any of them.

To satisfy yourself as to the doctorls directions. why not go with your wife the next time she takes the child to the doctor. You can gheln ask any questions you wish and after the visit you will probably ee much better about the whole situation.
