Has Demented
DEAR MARY I-IAWORTI-I: Your articles lead us to believe that you have an intelligent approach to domestic problems. This is ours:
My wife": mother has lived with us for 20 years; and she lost her reason about three years ago. We cannot understand what she says, and she cannot understand what
we say. y We tell her not tn do certain things, but she does' . them just
the same. She is restless and shuff- les all daylong. back and forth. she gets up at 3 o'clock every morning: and she keeps her bed- room door locked. and takes for- gver to turn the lock. Our sleep ist broken by her noisineas.
When we try t correct her, she gets angry angel aves for hours; end there at more aggravating habits. But we mention the above, lust to (rive your an approximate dea of what we have to put up with.
Is this expected of a son-in-law? Must we wait perhaps for years he- lore she is released by death from her niiscrjr? Is there any l'EC(iTY'l-l mended place lor such demented persons? We would much apprecratel your advice.

AUTHOR MOVED BY COMPAS- SION
Iii hcr introriuctory, Mrs. Stern says. "When I made my first visit to a modern menial hospital, in conection with writing on occupa- tional therapy, I approached it with the morbid dread common among laymen. Half an hour af- ter I had been inside the institu- tion, how'ever'. I had already be- gun to feel that it was, on the whole, a surprisingly pleasant place; and by the and of the day I was tremendously impressed with the many means being used to restore its patients to normality.
"vaguely .I thought if wish I could tell people about this'," Mrs. Stern continues. "Then as other writings in the field of mental hygiene led me into other mental hospitals, this desire became cry- stallized and urgent . . I saw r'elatives' confusion. bewilderment and anguish out of all proportion to the realities of the situation. I saw them needlessly increase their own and their paiients' suffering through fear, ignorance, delay in treatment, premature removal from mental hospitals, or mishandling during parole.
"There are books. I thought, . about how to run a household. and how to bring up dogs' but no book telling people how to behave and what to do when one of their dear ones falls mentally ill. This guide- book for relatives will. I hope, fill that need." I feel it does indeed.

This is especially true of the so- called salt free diet which, in real- ity, is only a low salt diet, because it is a practical impossibility for the body to maintain itself on a diet in which there is no salt at all. Such low salt diets have been employed in the treatment of high blood presur-e, chroiric kidney disease, heart disease, and even though futilely, for reducing menus.
No one should attempt to main- tain himself on a low salt dict ex- cept under constant supervision by a physician. A low salt diet has special danger in persons who sweat a great deal, since much of the salt in the body may be lost through sweating. Hence a low salt
diet must be used with caution. es- pecially in thgeununsr thus.

An adequate amount of chlo- rine is needed so that thl body may make hydrochloric acid, which is necessary for digestion in the stomach. c
In such disorders es heart dis- ease and chronic kidney disease. excessive fluids may wcurnulate in the body tissues. This is known as edema. The low salt diet helps clear up this edema, but such I diet is not the kind that e. person can regulate for himself.
Don't put yourself on e. low salt diet. Consult your doctor. who will decide how much salt you need.
