1-: That Body Of Ygun

a By James W. Barton. nus. -w0 x:ts.sm&m&xi MANAGEMENT OF '1' It

"This is an age of unrest and a large percentage of persons seek- ing medical aid are weighed down by vague depressions and anxiet- ies. When a patient has. in addi- tion, some actual physical illness. this uneasy desponclent attitude can seriously impede. or slow up, treatment and recovery." I am quoting Dr. H. V. Grahn in Am- eriican Practitioner and Digest of Treatment.

Even when no physical illness is present, this depressed attitude is still a danger signal. a warning of a mental or emotional upset at some future date. it is in these cases particularly that the family physician can be of so much help, since he knows not only the pat- ient bui: the patient's background. The family physician can ask questions that a psychiatrist, not knowing the patient or back- ground, would not likely ask. How- ever. medicine is needed in some cases where full history of cause of snnptcms is not found.

I have written before of the ex- cellent results obtained in the treatment of alcoholism by the use of amphetamine (Benzedrine Sulfate) during the day and phe- nobarbital at night. The Benze- drine Sulfate gives the nlcohollc a physical and mental boost that enables him to do mental and phy- socal work and the phenobarbital calms him down and enables him to get a restful sleep at night.

Dr. Grahn used 9. somewhat similar form of treatment in 85 patients who had symptoms of de- pression or anxiety. He used a preparation combining Benzedrine Sulfate and amethyl barblturlc acid. This combination has a tran- quilizlng effect that seems to neu- trnlize or keep under control, ex- tremes of mood. giving the patient a more normal outlook or behav- ior.

Satisfactory results were secur- ed in almost every case in which the symptoms were in the early

stages. In advanced cases this combination of drugs was of no help.

The use of this drug combin- ation is best used as a temporary measure to relieve depression or anxiety sufficiently for the patient to make an euort toward solving his problems. or facing them in some more healthy rnanner.

Dr. Grahn states that "although no drug can substitute for psychia- tric treatment when needed, this preparation is extremely helpful in relieving mild emotional symp- toms seen constantly in general medical practice."

By Anna Ashley Q. How can I serve crisper cucumbers? A. Keep the cucumbers in a

basin of water in the refrigerator until about an hour before they are to be served. Then pare, slice. sprinkle each layer with salt, and return to the refrigerator. Just before serving, drain of! the liquid that has collected in the dish, and the cucumbers will be crisper and better flavored than when pre- pared in the usual manner.

Q. How can I treat a corn? A. A small piece of lemon bound to the corn and changed daily for three or four days is said to loosen it. Then soak the foot in warm water and the com can be removed.

Q. We have received a verbal invitation to a wedding annivers- ary dinner which is being given by a few intimate friends for the couple. Are we obligated to bring a gift?

A. There is no obligation on guests to bring gifts on an occas- ion such as this, nor is it expected by the hosts. However, if .very good friends do want to bring gifts, it would be quite all right.

Q. May one properly refuse r certain dish at a luncheon?

A. The considerate person will never do this. as the number of dishes served at a luncheon is lim- ited. one can take a small quantity even if he is not partial to that particular dish.

Q. What is the minimum num- ber of cocktails courtesy requires that a host serves his guests be- fore dinner?

A. one apiece is correct-and enough.

WHILE there is ability. ambi- tion and excellent insight into ways and means for launching im- portant enterprises, with energies, faculties and forces under splendid stimuli for quick action. at the same time there are omens of dif- flculties, strenuous opposition and a chain of unusual or unlocked- for factors. These should be soundly manipulated not with crash and animosity but on is basis of sagaclty and calm jl.ldKI11CfllI.' Keep impulses and emotions in hand.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose lbrthday it is, may find themselves a year of chal- lenge and keen initiative. with an inner drive to put over important operations with vim. courage and confidence. This in the face of hidden factors. baffling and strange. in which cleverly yield- in to the spectacular and sensa- tional rather than forcefully "buck- ing the tide" of overwhelming or curious elements is the best plan of action. Perhaps the aphorism. "agree with thine enemies quick- ly" might be a sound injunction in this crisis.
