W0men's realm PAGE TWO THE GUARDIAN JULY 17, 1952 bTliaf Body Of Your: By James W. Berton. MJI. WHAT THE MIRACLE DRUGS ARE ACCOMPLISHING W ARTHRITIS "Briefly stated. arthritis means rheumatism of the Joints. When a patient asks me to explain the dif- ference between rheumatism and arthritis. I say rheumatism includes all forms. When rheumatism at- zacks a joint, it is called arthritis. when it attacks the nerves, it is :alled neuritis; the muscles - my- isitis. the fibrous tissue - fibrosi- :is and so on all down the line." I am quoting from the preface of Arthritis and the Rheumatic Dis- eases by Dr. Philip Lewin, professor and chairman of the Department of Bone and Joint Surgery. North- western University School of Med- cine. While many physicians. including arthritis specialists, still believe that infection is the commonest :ause of arthritis. Dr. Lewin lists infection as among the following: injury, exposure, infection. and the' endocrine glands. The most annoy- ing signs and symptoms are pain and stiffness. swelling. tenderness. and deformity. After trying To find the cause or causes of arthritis. in fact. while trying to find the cause. the chief objects in the mind of the physic- ian are: relief from pain. keeping the joint active or moving as much and as far as the patient can with- stand the pain, prevention of de- formities. prevention of disability and ”if the golden period of pre- vention has run out, restoration of movement, correction of deformities and restoration of usefulness of the joint." Many patients think of ACTH and cortisone as being the same. while others know the difference. Dr. Lewin states. "One can say that Cortisone is made in the lab- oratory (synthetically) like other: drugs and chemicals that are; manufactured." ACTH is made from the pituitary glands of animals ACTH can stimulate one of tlie glands, the adrenal, situated one; above each kidney. to make COl'll-' sone "inside" the body. While admitting the great im-1 portance of the miracle drugs (ACTH and Coriisonei in relieving symptoms and preventing destruc- tion of bones and joints, Dr. Lewin states that once arthritis has done considerable darnzige, even the miracle driigs cannot bring about ii cure.

However. at present about 50 per cent can be relieved of all their complaints and 85 per cent can bel relieved of three-quarters of their trouble.

Each of us has one child. His daughter is married, mine is in high school. My husband died six years ago and I have known Charles for three years. Charles is in business with a cousin who is 42 and single. For the past two years she has made it s point to be in our company as much as possible. My apart- ment is small and having her around so much is beginning to be a nuisance. When she is at I mixed gathering. she drinks too much and makes love to every man present. I have fallen deeply in love with Charles and know he intends to marry again. I know he isn't in love with his cousin. but I believe he thinks she cures for him and. under the impression that he is saving her feelings, is keeping me dangling. For some reason, he is greatly under the influence of her and several otherwnembers of his family. He is very soft-hearted and deeply concerned about hurting people's feelings. He has told me that eventually he hopes he will see things in a differ- ilfnrlsl Nissan ent light. Would you advise me to give him up now, or stick it out? After all. I'm not too young and, while I am considered attractive new, S. S. ANSWER: To pin matrimonial hopes on a man as unstable as Charles is a very precarious undertaking. WATCH OUT FOR COIJSIN Even though his cousin is not desirous of marrying him her- self, she apparently has some reason why she doesn't want any other woman to get him. Being shrewd, she is perfectly well aware of her influence over Charles and is very unlikely to relinquish any of it in the near future. She is a predatory female of the first water- H most dangerous opponent. You describe Charles as soft-hearted; I take exception to the description and appraise him rather as is weak- wllled blockhcad oversusceplible to flattery. g , You should put up a fight for him. if you love him. but youll have to fight fire with fire. Meek acquiescence will accomplish noth- ing. A straight-from-the-shoulder talk may have some effect on Cliarlie-boy; the blunt announcement that you don't like Cousin and would prefer that she spend gmore time away from your apartment, might accomplish more. A little competition may also be good for Charles. A definite stand must be taken, however. Don't just wait around until developments force the issue. Take a hand yourself. Last Sunday night, when my younlz min brought me home at 9:30, he stayed for about an hour. When he left. I walked to the car with him.. My mother said this was the wrong thing to do. I can't see anything wrong in it. DEAR MISS DIX: T. L. ANSWER: While there is nothing basically wrong in your walk- ing down the path to the boy's car, it is more proper !O'WBlk.lllm to the door and let him go the rest of the way alone. Since you are only 16. your mother is trying to teach you the most dignified Way to do things, and you will do well to heed her advice. DEAR MISS DIX: In my neighborhood there is a person who gets moody once in a while and doesn't talk to the oiher,folks on the block. Since February he hasn't spoken to me, though Ive never done a thing to him. Why does he act so cold?

GlRlS!l3 i018 why put up with a BAD COM Do this: Clesnso with ELLEll'S DIARY There is, we fancy. scent of pre- serving Island kitchens these dsys-as there was in this one this morning. "I hope. Ellen, you do not mind the smell" A woman once made spology to In when we were I caller st her home one day in the younger years. "I'm doing the strawberries”. "Not 'smell' "we of- fered sniffing deeply," 'frsgrsnce' is better -- And isn't it too bad the season passes so soon?" she pondered a moment. "Yes" she said, "I suppose it is. But I always seem to associate the ber- rylng with the heat and the busy- ness-the washing and ironing and cleaning-there's so much to be done!-I guess I forgot there's another side to it too." Ay, roses and clover of farm- lands; haylands coming now to- ward the height of enchantment . . .lazy hills of sumnccr. Mi” -f heat on their brows. Cool wood- lands, blue tidal met... .,.t... .. mill-stream, red of sand-bars. gentle break of waves on the shore, beferned pools, dimplihg brooks. "Tell us all about the little brook you know" Granddaughter begged only yesterday catching us in a. leisurely moment. the four gathered about for a. chat. "How wide was it at its widest? And” she cocked her golden head to one side "at the narrowest place. could Mack step easily across?" Mack looked down at bare fat legs and nodded. "And were there minnows? And smelts in spring. you could stoop down and catch with your hands? And did the baby-ducks and the goslings swim there where it slipped through the orchard beneath a rail fence? Tell us" blue eyes: shone, "how you knew when spring had come!" "That's easy" Jamie laughed and imitated the guttural tones of a frog into spring-song, "That's how she knew" Nestlings trying out new wings; thrush at evening; moonlight over the fields, the magic and beauty of all these delights of season go into the preserving-kettle along with the measured strawberries and sweetening. And because gold must have its alloy, a. note of re- gret. We heard it this morning as we stirred with a light hand the ruby mixture. Then came to is doorway to listen. Sure enough, along the fields between, the click- clack of s hay-mower came to our ears. Mr. A. was moving first rounds. Summer had reached her zenith. But not yet on our acres though James turned homeward this morning with definite pur- pose. "We must get the floors laid in those new mows" he said. . . "People should be able to save hay nowadays" we overheard him comment with an edge of insin- uation to his helpers on a recent day. "They have every conven- lence to help them. I wonder" he mused how folk managed in the long ago, when it depended most- ly on 'main strength? "And his hearers smiled tolerantly as he continued: "But farmers got a- long: they made their hay and harvested their grain; they paid bills. . .and perhaps saved is. bit. Ano were Just as happy or maybe happier than with the hustle and cost and worry of farming nowa- days." "Well" one son teased, "if you'd like to go back to the old ways of it, we'll put shelvings on the old truck-wagon-horizontal qncs like those used in the long ago: you can hitch the old mare in it and with 'Eilen' you can save hay to your heart's content! You might let us know. if you have energy enough left. when you finish that biggest field!" ”Humphl" James snorted." "I've saved hay before this. Besides" he smiled at us, "we wouldn't need so much-We'd keep only a horse and a cow." "And this" Jeanie pointed out this evening when we inspected the new barn "is for a separator- room." She laughed. "I overheard James Sr. say that in the event of not needing to use it for that. it would easily house three extra csttlel" Until tomorrow-Diary Good- night.

The Stars Ssy - - By Genevieve Kemble xmmsmm - For Tomorrow TI-LE most significant and en- couraging conflguration in this day's aspectnrian is the very deli- nite and heart-warming breaking up of a stubborn. congested and crystallized set of forces and fac- tors. These could hold up progress of most vital and essential aims and ambitions of very constructive and cherished plans or a. program of long-range significance. It is absolutely imperative this block be "busted" before any really creative action could be made. Perhaps some stubborn old person is in the way. A strongly Martian impact could break up resistance. Try it with vim. For the Birlhdsy Those whose birthday it is are immersed in a sort of incendiary focus of resistance, defeat and congestion, with several angles and situations most difficult and stub- born.No sort of gentle suasion can smash through this retarding and postponing impasse. Real vital force. plenty of vim and vigor. may break up a peculiar situation while there is an undertone of malice or trickery, at the sum: time an appeal to the sympathies and emotions coiiid have effect particularly if elderly persons oi institutions be the "immovable force." Temper justice with mercy, but apply pressure resolutely. A child born on this day, while earnest. aspiring and of sturdy foundation. may be stubborn, dif- ficult and hard to convincegf the other fellow's convictions.
